Typhoon class submarines (the Dmitri Donskoi belongs to this class) are not supposed to fire missiles from underwater. They are supposed to break the ice pack to launch their payload. So, this is either a very interesting evolution, or bad reporting.
Not true. They can surface (if they need to break the ice), but don't have to.

Opera's focus on following standards often comes back to bite it in the ass.
FWIW, I have my own fully validated pages that fail to render correctly on Opera.

That's because the other browsers aren't victims of browser sniffing the way Opera is. Most of the time you can simply mask as Firefox, and it "magically" starts working.
Granted that is a problem, but not the one for the weather.com example I posted.

I'd love to use Opera more, but every version (including 10) seems to suffer from rendering issues that are often readily apparent on major websites that don't seem to affect any other browser. I don't know whether its the browser or the website, but either way they dissuade me from continued use of Opera. Checkout the weekend view http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/USIL0225?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared for example.
if you want to make them stop, you'll have to bring your own, separate lawsuit, with all the costs and hassles that entails.
So I doubt they're will be many "the Author's Guild doesn't represent me" lawsuits, or if there is, the judges will toss them quickly, citing the valid legal status of class action lawsuits.
I think that's the important point here. As a small author if you don't opt out you may see some small monetary benefit. If you opt out, you'll see no benefit and realistically won't be able to gain anything from Google. You're too small to negotiate anything useful with Google (they'll probably just remove all references to your work) and its also not worth suing Google on your own (you'd probably eventually just get grouped into another class action).
maintenance on the F-22 is vastly more expensive than on an F-15 or F16.
Apples to apples, the F22 costs only slightly more than the F15 per flying hour (on the order of $20k vs. $17k).

Why? The F35 is more useful in any fight we are likely to get into during the lifetime of these airplanes.
The F22 can do what the F35 can just as the F15 can do what the F16 can.

If you look at when they actually are producing F35 vs F22 at nearly identical production rates, F22 is only a little bit more expensive. The main reason why F35 is projected to be significantly cheaper is they are planning on producing more of them at faster rates.
F-35 Flyaway Unit Cost
FY2011: $124.580 million (24 per year)
F-22 Flyaway Unit Cost
FY2007: $136.826 million (20 per year)
A bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush. I'd bet F35 ends up costing just as much as F22.
7 is to Vista as XP was to 2000.
I'm not convinced that Vista is all that bad. People skipped 2000 for the same reasons they say they're skipping Vista.
Thing is, both 7 and XP are/were just prettier versions of the core components of the previous version.
I just flew from Beijing to Newark. The weird part was that the first thing that struck me was the NY skyline. I could actually see it! And blue sky and stars! Not anything I saw in Beijing while there for two weeks.
And the NY area is hardly a model for pristine atmosphere.
There was an absolute deluge around 4:30pm local time in Beijing. Thankfully they were handing out ponchos left and right at the events to help deal with the weather. I feel sorry for the outside events -- the inside events were hard enough to get to and from.
I'm an avid cycling fan and I agree with you. The sad part is that here in Beijing the local population turned out in force to watch the race. After the peloton rolled by, most of them stayed in place as if expecting there to be something more -- there wasn't of course.
Its really too bad the road cycling course didn't at least make a few loops in the city to make it a little more worthwhile to watch. Getting to the wall to watch the loops was impossible -- at least for me.
I tried getting to the finishing loop. No luck. Many roads were and still are closed and the drivers have a hard enough time understanding what you want to do even when the roads are open.

People skipped 2000 because of game and a small amount of consumer hardware compatibility.
Generally through no fault of the OS. Games and the hardware just weren't completely ready for it. 2000 played my games fine from day 1.
That and MS didn't really market it to consumers as it was intended as the "business os"
It was marketing and perception and nothing else. That's my point. Vista has the same problem compared to 7.
7 is to Vista as XP was to 2000. I'm not convinced that Vista is all that bad. People skipped 2000 for the same reasons they say they're skipping Vista. Thing is, both 7 and XP are/were just prettier versions of the core components of the previous version.
