If we follow that line of thought we should immediately ban air travel (and probably automobiles as well - thousands of innocent people die every year because some idiot runs into them in an automobile).
Even if it stalled... 30,000 feet should be enough to recover, methinks.
The only way it can fall at that rate for a whole three minutes is if something catastrophic has happened to the structure making it impossible for the pilot to recover.
(Or if something catastrophic has happened to the pilots)
No, if he was smarter he would have grabbed a couple of million then gone to the Bahamas.
As a police friend of mine says, if you're going to commit a crime, do it just once and make it worthwhile. The people who get caught are the ones who have to keep going back to do it again.
Consumers know that 'widescreen' is better for TV.
They think that widescreen is therefore better for a computer as well. QED.
No, they haven't really thought about the shape of the web pages they spend all day scrolling up and down. They also don't seem to see that half of the screen is white most of the time.
Every time I ever dared say matte screens were better on Slashdot I got flamed by people saying that "colors are FAR more saturated and vibrant with a glossy screen". Now there's a whole article saying glossy is crap and not one person is disagreeing.

I bet that if the plants were actually needed the government wouldn't be making this magnanimous, vote-winning gesture.
I thought "sterile plants" was a basic requirement of the GM business plan - get the farmers dependent on buying seeds every year.
Coal isn't dolphin friendly. Most of the mercury in the sea comes from coal power.
GPL doesn't say you're not allowed to charge, just that you have to release all source.
EU is the short code for EUrope in some cases
Um, no. It's "European Union".
A country can be in geographical Europe but not in the European Union.
Did you know you can barrel roll a 'plane without anybody feeling anything or spilling their drinks?
That's the bit I don't get: Why was it nose-up when stall warnings were going off all over the place and the altimeter showed they were falling?
I think auto-translating a company website would be more likely to drive the espanol(sic)-speakers away.
And the NSA's "Carnivore" domestic spying project.

There's somebody out there who calls themselves "Situation"?
Do people send him packets of currants for his birthday then piss themselves laughing? I would.
Um, having a low latency doesn't necessarily affect download speeds for large files.
Internet Protocol has this thing with sliding windows, etc., to deal with that.
Duh! Of course glossy screens are better IN THE DARK...but how many people have that luxury?
people have to be vote with their wallets
Last time I went to the store I didn't see that option - it was shiny all the way.
I just bought an Alienware laptop on the assurance that I'd "get used to it".
I hate it, I really do.
I've tried...but after three minutes I'm crosseyed looking at it. The fact that it was expensive only makes things worse.
Did you know you can turn iPads around to a horizontal position...?
It's much simpler than that:

Yep, a couple of hundred bucks extra is background noise to a business - probably less then the cost of the chair they put in front of it.
Not quite. Nobody's claiming that dark energy has any sort of intelligence or self awareness.
Meat eating accounts for 32% of the USA's total greenhouse gas emissions.
All the math is here: http://pge.uchicago.edu/workshop/documents/martin2.pdf
Reducing your meat consumption by just 20% is equivalent to buying a Prius (except you'll be healthier because of it and won't be avoided at parties).
You want to reduce environmental impact and greenhouse gases? Stop eating meat.
The meat you eat is responsible for more greenhouse gas than driving a SUV everywhere.
That's cruel.
The packets don't have to be unopenable, it just has to take more energy to open them than you'll get from eating the contents.
