You might be right but I think it's more than you said. 2 pilots with pay, benefits, per diem. That's a lot of money. Maybe a million dollars all told per year and a lot of flights. Maybe not 50 percent but fuel efficiency improves too and that's more money. Less accidents means more too. I bet I could hit 20 percent or more. I'm too lazy to sit down and research and calculate since I'm not the guy with big money.
I bet if I could buy a bunch of autopiloted jumbo jets and I offered flights at less than half what my competitors charged I could fill them up. A lot of people wouldn't buy but enough would. Eventually it'd take over the skies.
I understand skepticism, I'm mostly a skeptic myself. Still, if it's BS they usually put the date out a while. If they have nothing to show by the end of the year, that will be that. Most ppl don't run the scam that way.
At first I was skeptical of the claim but after reading the article it appears they're actually producing a system. The inclusion of Emanuel Sachs lends credibility also. Shouldn't be a long wait, part of the system ships in a few months the second part next year.
I remember our work computers being downgraded from NT to Vista. Instant disaster. We had maybe half our workstations up at any one time for the next 6 months. Eventually it got where it was only bad. It really never worked right a single day until 7 arrived to fix it. I'm retired now but they're still running 7, I asked a coworker the other day if they were going to 10 any time soon and he started to freak out just at the thought of Win10. Not my problem fortunately. I don't know why MS has to keep reinventing the wheel, but I don't care since I don't have to deal with any of that any more.:)
I'm not really a windows user but I've run 7 at work and it was mostly okay and a great thing after Vista. I bought a used Lenovo laptop a few months ago and it had Win10 and I tried it for about 6 weeks. I hate it. But i realize I'm not Microsoft's market. I'm sure there are people that like it. If I had to use windows though I'd hang onto 7 until I absolutely had to change.
The attacks on abortion clinics and providers are rare nowadays. In fact, most peope who get abortions actually claim that they are Christians which makes me sad.
If one believes that life starts at conception, then abortion is murder. While I can see why you wouldn't believe in creationism as that takes a leap of faith, I really don't get why you can't understand opposition to something as brutal as the slaughter of the innocent.
I believe the Bible, but then I live in a secular world. I don't worry too much about the craziness in it because I know I'm here for a few years and then it's time for eternity. I disagree with a lot of what happens in society but I let God worry about that, it's his job. He tells me to live for him and if I do that I'm going to be okay. While I think abortion is murder, it's sadly legal so I don't burn down clinics or shoot abortionists. I do not, however, ever vote for an abortionist candidate. I believe God created the Universe but I studied and learned about evolution is school. God said to live in the world but don't be "of" the world. Sometimes I get angry when people lie about conservative Christians but hey, only God is perfect.
I know plenty of Christian engineers, English teachers and chemists. I admit, we're a little pushy about abortion but when life starts at conception, it is murder.
I don't hate education but a lot of what goes on in US colleges isn't education, it's brainwashing. I doubt Republicans consider engineering, math, biology, English and such as bad. It's the left wing propaganda doled out by Professors that hate America that we don't care for.
Some games are just great games. The fact they don't need 32 cores clocked at 5Ghz doesn't matter. Still, there's no such thing as enough RAM, a fast enough CPU or too big a hard drive.
What I saw in Don Jr's emails and his interview wasn't collusion. Only political motivation would say so, no one serious has said more than "he might have stepped over the line." Given what Hilliary walked off on I think the bar is a little higher than you think for an indictment. I know for a fact what she did would have sent me to a long sentence in Ft. Leavenworth prison if I had done it while in the Air Force. But we shall see. My money is that it's yet another "nothing burger.";)
You know, I'm still waiting to see evidence of this collusion you speak of. So far, the best they've come up with in the last 8 months of singing that song is Don Jr. meeting a lawyer. That's it. Nothing else. I'm starting to think it might be time for them to come up with a new attack vector. Unless they bring some kind of indictment in the next 6 months or so, continuing this "Russia" story will destroy democrats in the midterms. Of course, if they can get an indictment, that puts the Republicans in a pickle. Should be interesting.
The only real difference is that our oligarchs have to dance around the Constitution. It limits their ability to rule with absolute power as they have to use willing pawns in Congress and the White House and twist the rules as much as they can.
Putin is certainly corrupt but he's not all powerful even in Russia. There are other oligarchs besides him in that country. I'm sure that Kaspersky Labs does things for the Russian Intel agencies. Just like Microsoft does things for the NSA in this country.
Not really. 250K requires you to be frugal to have all that. It's a significant part of your budget, not pocket change. No super exotic car or any of all the other things plus, you have to work. Rich people don't have to work, their money works for them.

I'm using the Panasonic rechargeable batteries and they're awesome. Over 150 charges and they seem to last as long as ever.
It seems though, that this issue applies to all Android phones.
Petty crime yes. Organized crime? No, that's way the hell up.

Why do Evans and Lineker make so much more than the others?

I always thought of Win7 as the bug fixed version of Vista.

It init funny. Not at all.

I rank living in a townhouse a couple levels lower than a trailer on a dirt road. But to each his own.
