Less common here in Australia. The price of fuel may be a factor. People who can afford their own aircraft may get a vari-eze or a sailplane. There are a few helicopters in private ownership, I suppose they count as turboprops.
CT scans are trivial compared with the radiation doses often used to treat cancer. When I father in law was in hospital I used to walk past this room with a barrier in the door way warning people of radiation exposure if they came closer. This patient was the radiation source and his body was largely shielding passing people from radiation.
I have only flown across the US once (I am an Australian) but I was surprised to see how many contrails we crossed going from New York to Los Angeles. It may be the distributed nature of the US population. Aircraft go all over the place and cross each others paths with surprising frequency.
I have never once seen a privately owned turboprop. They are basically workhorses for middle range airlines and commercial operations which need to carry a lot of stuff with short strip capability. Air ambulances for example.
I am in a different industry but a team I left recently went exactly that way. A new (and not very good) management team were brought in and suddenly it was panic panic. Everybody run around at a mad pace trying to get the work done. I suggested a process improvement to get around a data transfer which was costing them 12 hours at a time but they ignored it because there "wasn't enough time".
I say bad management but really upper management see people being goaded into working long hours. Job done.
The module on Mir which was holed in a collision was a write off, so I think it is likely the ISS would be as well. Probably a lot of gear inside the station would be written off by exposure to vacuum. The lack of cooling would destroy electronics, for example, but the same gear would be kept running for a long as possible to aid in the escape. I think repopulating the ISS would be very expensive, difficult and dangerous.
OTH plus has lots of colourful arrows which may appeal more to eleven year olds than the more subdued facebook UI. And for that demographic it may be an advantage to not be in a place where you could run into your grandmother.

it is voluntary
Voluntary for me means voluntary for the user, not for the ISP.
Modded Troll. How can I mod a mod Funny? Metamoderation should have a way of doing that.

propeller powered commercial jetliner
Turbo props are used for short distance commercial transport, especially between small airports and where demand is low. They use turbojet engines.
I wondered why they don't just use a captcha.

Steve Wozniak running Microsoft would certainly be a sight to see. This is the new Windows tablet. It has USB and I soldered the connectors on myself"
...and apparently fairly old and easy to implement. Its a shame that those elite hackers at LULZSec didn't consider using it.
Pray tell, to what domestic use would you put depleted uranium, cordite, and lead?
The energy and human effort required to manipulate them would be better put to use creating new infrastructure.
Yeah that 20-25% in defense spending is really out of control compared to the >50% (and growing) in entitlement spending, watch out!
The "entitlement spending" as you put it at least goes back into the US economy. "Defence" spending goes to chew up the top 10cm of Afghanistan.

There are too many options. Whose idea was it to use Eclipse as the UI for the ISS anyway?

I wouldn't be surprised if the ISS detected it on their own radar. I would have a pretty doppler signature.
Nah the old man disabled it.

I would never be able to find it.
Can any of you suggest a course of action?
Nothing that won't get you arrested.
My fridge uses 140 watts when drawing power. Maybe 100 watts over the course of a day, and its pretty efficient.
Do STBs really use more energy than things which push heat around?
if he was running their irc server, then someone had to have paid him.
Why? I operate a server for my own purposes and occasionally run services for friends for free.
Looks like the UK Government are going to help him with his fear of open spaces.
