This one especially. It is tragic on googles part that I get much better results out of both duckduck and gigablast for 80-90% of my searches. They used to be the king of digging deep into the web before they decided to start censoring their results into obscurity.
Honestly, I highly support gigablast taking the lead if they can get their spidering more active. Their list of search operators is pretty impressively long and powerful.
That $15 ticket price pays for a lot of things you are paying separately for in your own house.
For $15 at the theater, you are paying for the short use of the facility and the utilities it uses, people to manage the content you intend to watch, people to clean up any mess you or your friends or children make, a very large screen, and hopefully a well tuned surround sound system, all adding to a much better experience than you simply get at home. Thats not to say that ticket prices aren't inflated a great deal, but they pay for more than the movie you are watching.
Now you get to supply the tv (and shutter glasses if you're intending to watch 3D content), the sound system, the internet connection, the other utilities, the cleanup and other necessary maintenance while paying $50 per movie. Its not really entirely a great deal unless you intend to have a lot of people watch every movie you rent. If you have a large family, it makes sense. For most people, this is gonna be a miss for them.
...Why the hell would anyone ever pay $50 to see a movie that they can wait 6 months or less, and legally purchase a digital copy for less than $10 or for free if their pirate hearts so desire?
Except you don't get the 3d in your house unless you bought an expensive tv and expensive shutter glasses beforehand and you don't get the popcorn unless you bought it separately at the store, along with the soda and candy and whatever else your fatass desires that night.
Lets say a ticket goes for $12/person which is somewhat high in my experience. You have to have 5 people watching the movie to get any value out of this service. Many theaters are less than that, around $8-9/ticket - now you have to bring over more than 6 people to get the value. I'm sure some people find comfort and possibly value in the possibility of sitting in their underwear while lounging and watching the latest movies and maybe to them this is worth $50. I find it hard to believe that the average person would agree with that though. Also, it might be awkward to be in a room with your friends or family of 5 others, while just in your underwear.
The people who will use this service are those who are A) disabled and not able to travel to the movies; B) living in a house with a family of 4 or more; or C) stupid with their money.

I may be incorrect but I was thinking that most planes were issued basically on credit to these airlines, just like when you buy a new car.
These airlines purchased these airplanes years in advance with people trying to guess what travel expectancy will be at the time they receive the plane. Lets say one of these airlines misjudged and they have to renege on their purchase of a plane or two as their passenger pool has not gained as their model suggested. No problem, Boeing/Airbus can just refit the interior to meet the preference of another airline.
Now lets suppose several of these airlines have to renege due to various factors - rising fuel costs, nearby conflicts chasing away travelers, etc. This could be a very precarious position for Boeing and Airbus if they have a surplus of planes.
Honestly, running with a 30% header in demand seems wise when considering the length of time it takes for these planes to be brought out for first flight. Not to say this necessarily means the economy is doing poorly, but I don't feel like this is at all any indication of a booming economy.
Sure it was an NSA initiative. That doesn't mean Google wasn't just posturing when they "went out of their way to encrypt traffic". Encrypting doesn't really do anything if you are already complying with the NSA with other tools.
Lets consider an alternative - Google began encrypting their intranet traffic because they became concerned hackers could reveal this compliance easily prior to the encryption.
If you interact with US citizens, you are apparently subject to US laws. No borders. No sovereignty. You are a pawn in the global arena. Stepping outside your square will be dealt with swiftly and severely. Don't fuck with the US money/*holders*/ hoarders!
Depends on your use of the internet. If you are doing research, it actually can be a pretty major issue and time sink to continually go between the broken links and Wayback. I'll give you that it shouldn't be default behavior though. That's why I was suggesting promoting addons at install or during updates if they want to include features like this more universally.
Doesn't really matter much how they implement it if its included already with the browser. Its just like throwing sand in the face of FF addon devs, when they've already had a beach worth thrown in their faces. My point was, why not better support the community that already exists by including or suggesting addon installs when you install or update FF instead of taking it upon themselves to do it themselves. There are so many bigger issues with FF that should be addressed, especially when numerous other addons have already provided this functionality if people were interested in having it.
This has already been a fixed issue for probably over a decade with addons for Firefox. The addons are why Firefox became so popular in the first place. While its great that they want to include this functionality in the browser, why not just have a list of suggested addons when you install or update? Waste of time on their part...
If you look at the image, you can see that each wheel set is on an overhead bearing and then then two wheel sets are joined together with another overhead bearing. This should make this pretty maneuverable. If it were on a flat pad, I'd fully expect it to be able to turn 360-degrees in place.
We already use a gantry type system for watering plants on farms. Its called center pivot irrigation. With some redesigning of that system, you could expand this to a full scale farm within a few years of testing.

A search engine that still searches the internet?
