The numbers are probably not close to the true value but I've read cases where 50% of the users of some apps are people who pirated the app within the first few weeks of it being released. Some apps rely on a back-end infrastructure and having to support the load of people who haven't paid for the app cuts into your profit.
Still waiting for this in Canada and other parts of the world. I think the main problem is the CRTC wanting to control how all content is distributed in Canada.
Netflix: Does not work
Hulu: Does not work
I don't think that's going to be a problem. The towers are 2400 feet tall and that is not considered the upper atmosphere. Typically the temperature gradient is ~2 degrees Celsius drop per 1000 feet you go up, assuming the air is fairly stable at the time.
Of course, that Stallion costs $220,800.00 before you even consider the cost of putting it together such as your time and tools required. Don't get me wrong, it looks pretty nice and I'm a pilot myself but aviation has a long way to come down in price to where it's affordable to replace your car with new plane.
Canada would never deny all US Carrier flights into Canadian airspace purely on economic reasons. Pearson International Airport in Toronto has one of the highest landing fees in the world, second to Japan's Tokyo Narita in 2004. Pearson would go bazerk if US carriers couldn't land there.
Even the LSA's are ridiculously expensive IMO. While they're nice, they're still not affordable by most people. Look at the Remos GX, over $100,000 USD for a new one and it's "just" an LSA, severely restricting what you can actually use it for like you say. While many people can afford ~$50,000 USD for an SUV, doubling that for something like an LSA plane is beyond insane to me. With the Remos GX and some other newer planes, they're finally moving to composites which is good but the tech. behind most of these planes hasn't changed for quite a while. You're still stuck with a 100 HP Lycoming in the 162 SkyCatcher for example and it runs on a carbureted fuel system. Why these engines still cost $20,000 brand new is beyond me. Sure the market is low but the amount of metal that makes these engines up and the technology behind them is basically the same as it was 30 years ago.
Coming to the end of my private pilot training, I'm most likely going to end up getting some 20-30 year old beast that at least I can afford, near $30,000-$40,000.
GPS will not show your heading if you are in an airplane. Heading while flying is the direction the nose of the aircraft is pointing while track is the direction the airplane is moving across the ground. GPS without a compass will give you your track along the ground but not your heading if you are flying. This is of course due to the airplane moving through a fluid(air) that is always moving relative to the ground.
Cessna is now outsourcing manufacturing of the new SkyCatcher 162 to China. I wonder how long until a lot of the design is copied by the Chinese into the homebuilt market. We all know how they rapidly produce knockoff products of just about everything. Cessna is reportedly saving about $77,000 USD by manufacturing in China yet the SkyCatcher still costs >$100,000 USD to buy.
It would be nice if he said how he thinks that the iPhone is causing issues but he doesn't. Reception is not as good with the iPhone as some other phones due probably to the case and the fact that there's no external antenna on the phone. But even so, I don't see how low reception can cause such an issue. Rogers for example does not seem to have any problems with their network. Granted the number of customers they need to service is much lower but population density in some large Canadian cities serviced by Rogers do not have the problems like you get on AT&T.
I fly small airplanes and I can get a cell signal at 4000 feet above ground. I'm not sure how high the mountain he was on was but it's far from just ground level where the signal reaches.
Of course, the 777 at take off has to have enough thrust to lift hundreds of thousands of pounds into the air whereas the Titanic is a self floating hunk of metal, as long as it doesn't hit anything, oops.. Also the 777 can cruse over 500 knots whereas the Titanic could cruse probably 20 knots at best. The jet fuel weight alone for the 777-200LR model is 53,515 US gal * 6 lb/gal = 321,090 lbs
I don't understand why there aren't more diesels in North America either. The VW TDI Jetta costs something like $3000-$5000 more than the gas version for some reason also. I priced one out earlier this year and it would be about $30,000 Canadian dollars for a TDI with a manual transmission, power windows, air conditioning but nothing that should make it that expensive. I got a Mazda 3 gas instead for $20,000.
They won't want any less money than the get now so people with data plans who use 100MB or something small like that will still pay the bend-over-and-take-it price they do now. Then people who use the 5GB that is allowed on the data plans will have to pay even more. Somehow I doubt AT&T is losing money charging the average iPhone user $100 USD per month.
Hopefully they find a way to make that deployable since I doubt anyone is going to put big blocks on the bottom of the helicopter that increase airframe drag.
I'm sure they would be if they could legally sell it, but like anabolic steroids, testosterone and derivatives, this will most likely become a controlled substance in the US at least. There are countries in Europe where it is legal though so possibly this myostatin blocker will be legal there as well.
You can reduce lactic acid buildup easily by ingesting beta alanine. Beta alanine is a legal supplement that acts to increase the lactic acid buffer called carnosine. I use it all the time and it increases endurance substantially.
Most people download the pre-cracked OS X from torrents and other means. I don't know anyone who has actually bought OS X to run on their hackintosh, even though Snow Leopard upgrade disk is only $29

Unless it's a non white person, then they can be as racist as they want. Just look at Chris Rock, his comedy is mostly white racist jokes.

Because the TSA KNOW it's not dangerous, it's just a bunch of crap to make it so they keep their jobs.
