That has not been my experience. I fly several times per year and take photos out the window. Only rarely in the past decade has a window been dramatically abraded.
When I was in Dubai, the Metro was out of service half the times I wanted to use it. Escalators and moving walkways would be shut down during off-peak hours and on seemingly random days. Not that impressive.
In the '90s, I spent summers on a Great Plains farm and saw fireflies by the multitude, year after year. By the mid-2000s, though, they had all disappeared. Haven't seen them in at least a decade, and I do wonder if pesticides are responsible -- the farmers who worked the surrounding land in my youth aren't those who are working it today.
I have been reading the IMDB forums for about 15 years, and will greatly mourn their passing. I'd often head there after watching an older film, as users would have nearly always posted some interesting facts or retrospectives. The long-running thread about Blade Runner's impact on movies and culture at large was particularly fun.
Google will never do as you hope. It's already "pursuing development paths that are leaving power users in the cold," and its wake is littered with projects that have withered on the vine or been left to rot on the ground.
The Internet Archive is one of the most important sources of information ever created. I think we should put a copy of it on every continent at the very least.
Yes, but its policy of retroactively blocking archived webpages due to the feelings of the domain's current owner is outrageous. Fat lot of good multiple copies will do when the Archive's own policies hamstring it.
Believe it. For a while now I've been flying every year from the West Coast to Western Europe and the prices for major airlines (a.k.a. those with the ability to connect to my destination) are almost all fixed at just under $1000 each way. It doesn't matter which carrier you choose - Air France, KLM, British Airways, Lufthansa...
It's a racket, especially for those originating from the United States. The first three airlines above have already been fined for operating a cargo cartel, and it seems to me that the major players are colluding in the passenger market as well.
Flickr/Yahoo backtracked a bit after rolling out the new UI and removed the most egregious aspects, but the site is still a far cry from what it once was. The tone-deafness and technical incompetence from management has been breathtaking, as every new change they make (I assume in an attempt to woo new users) only hemorrhages more of their core userbase. As a longtime Pro member, it's an awful shame.
But yeah, if these companies moved out of the Bay Area, or even more, California, all those million dollar homes in the Bay Area, be it in Cupertino, San Francisco, Atherton, Los Altos, et al would crash like buildings in a San Francisco earthquake.
I see very little wrong with that. The sooner this bubble bursts, the better.
Nancy Pelosi is a member of the House of Representatives, not the Senate. Perhaps you're thinking of Dianne Feinstein and her husband Richard Blum? It's my understanding that Mrs. Pelosi's husband was in no real need of connections himself.

Very interesting. Thank you for shedding some light on this!
But I wonder why its soundtrack will only be remastered in 4.1, instead of 5.1 for the 2003 revision?
The Concorde "B" wouldn't have required an afterburner, either. It was just too uneconomical to produce.
Don't bet on it. The first game was never released on PC. All you can do is stream it, and that arrived years later.
I don't see what Media Access Control has to do with Macintosh computers in this context.

Just as a point of principle, the United States does not have a "ruling" party, we have a governing party.
The Fertile Crescent is getting less and less fertile. It's partially why the current conflict started in the first place.

The company is known as Malaysia Airlines, or MAS for short.
I've experienced the same on United. Sometimes it doesn't go down for days... if ever.

Google Inc. is not a "global company." It is a Delaware corporation with headquarters in Mountain View, CA.

Money and power.

You're in luck: BART has been running a people-mover to OAK since November 2014.

Unfortunately, the NY Times is reporting that "ordinary tourism" will remain prohibited.
Indoctrination sounds about right.
For this reason it was a good thing Bloomberg's proposal got nixed by Albany.
