The B52 has never been tested in the crucible of war, they've always been out of reach. In Vietnam, the North Vietnamese had limited to no abilities to counter or intercept B52.
Bullshit. Hanoi had some of the most sophisticated air defenses of the time. B52s were shot down by them just read about Operation Linebacker II.
The fact is the B52 has been 'obsoleted' by tons of planes which turn out to be retired while the B52 continues being used. They just do not have the payload or the loiter time to compete. And that is without replacing the utterly obsolete fuel guzzling engines it comes with. If you used currently available commercial turbofans in it it would have a lot more loiter time and range.
You know what dude? For every well known author like this there are a metric fuckton of authors that get more profit using Amazon's model. Guess what Amazon has competition too and nothing forbids you of using a different venue. You can even sell the books for yourself. So please excuse me ignoring this arsehole.
Amazon does a lot of bad things but trying to sell ebooks cheaper than paper books isn't one of those things.
Actually you use a sextant to calculate longitude as well. The thing is you have to know the time when you are taking the measurement because the sun and stars 'move around' in the sky because of the Earth's rotation. That's why you need an accurate clock for longitude.
VCs don't fund anything with a viable prototype or even an actual company. You should know better than that.
Still this projects idea is not new at all. It is a way to do fusion. But the problem is not to do fusion that has been done for yonks. The problem is net profitable fusion power than works cheaply and reliably.
The thing is Korolev, Chelomei and Yangel were all competing on that project and it wasn't funded until it was way too late. Plus the funding was way below US funding. So... no wonder it fail.
Korolev was the designer of Soyuz. He had a lot of issues in the beginning. At one point he was sent to a Gulag in Siberia where he had to work as forced labor on a mine. They broke several of his teeth there.
Chelomei had a lot of clout when Nikita Khrushchev was in power because he employed one of his relatives. Chelomei was the designer of the Proton rocket.
It did not help that Korolev died in the middle of the N1 project.
That's the whole idea behind Amazon. What you pay scales with your installed user base. As for other similar applications it is because the costs of a virtual server are cheaper than renting a whole machine for rather obvious reasons.
I had it with Windows 95 OSR/2. As usual Apple fanatics reinvent history by claiming Apple is responsible for innovation they clearly aren't responsible for. They did not develop the spec, did not develop the prototypes, did not develop most of the market, ad nauseum.
Ares was a boondoggle. It was a POS that was behind schedule. Over cost. They did not fix the issues. It wouldn't be flying now. Constellation seemed good on paper but what Mike Griffin pushed i.e. Ares was a disaster. Obama did not push SLS. He wanted to speed up Commercial Crew (also from W's time) with extra funding. The fault lies squarely with the Senate. They defunded Commercial Crew including SpaceX Dragon capsule, which could have been flying this year, and piled the money on SLS.

He is not that good of a writer. He is ok but he is no Frank Herbert or even William Gibson.

So what if they have an electric car model with a different name than the gas car models?

No man. The films were decent. IV as a kid was a decent film and V was ok for adults even. VI sucked (Ewoks, recycled destroy Death Star plot).
Empire Strikes Back was awesome man. The rest sucked donkey balls.
Not when the work itself sucks. Not when the twists in between are non-existent and the story itself is poor and told poorly.

Ask Apple about it. They never have problems or bugs and seldom have 'issues'.
Soyuz now uses digital avionics as well. Besides it is supposed to get engine upgrades in the near future.
Same deal for coal.
If you believe in the biogenic oil theory (the current leading theory) that is what its supposed to have happened.

The CO2 was in the atmosphere to begin with. Plus the global climate was arguably better when it had more carbon.
Oh nearly forgot. Yangel designed the R-36 rocket NATO designation Satan i.e. the largest MIRV ICBM in the world.

The question is why you can't do this via web login. Or why it doesn't check if user hasn't used an iDevice for long enough.

let alone information security and other factors
This.
If I see any more misuses of the Singleton pattern I will shoot someone. The Singleton pattern is the worst POS idea I have ever seen.

Would you rather play Space Ace? I dare you.
No need to do it. SpaceX Dragon capsule can reenter perfectly well.
