It was more or less comparable if we consider aircraft from the same era - it would be dishonest comparing today's accident rates with the rates of the 1970ies, no matter which aircraft. The reasons, however, were quite different - pilot errors and general technical backwardness were the most prominent reasons - soviet passenger aircraft was technically about a decade behind. Soviet aircraft designed shortly before the breakup (Il-96, Tu-204) caught up and are generally about as safe as western aircraft and have all the modern (as in late 1980ies) airframe features, but the engines aren't as economical, hence very few of them were ever built.
How exactly airplane accidents being at an all time low is a result of capitalism? Are you one of these crazy people who worship capitalism as a deity? Airplane accidents don't happen that often anymore because of strict regulations and aircraft being generally more intelligent. Capitalism has directly caused a lot of accidents, like Alaska Airlines Flight 261 (airline was too cheap for proper maintenance), Turkish Airlines Flight 981 (manufacturer was too cheap to fix a known design error), American Airlines Flight 191 (again, airline too cheap to do proper maintenance), JAL Flight 123 (yep, again maintenance) and so on. Yay capitalism. Same goes for delays and lost luggage, by the way. Strict regulations making it difficult for the airlines to weasel themselves out have helped, not capitalism.
Funny thing you mention Poland. Because Polacks were, in fact, the ones who started the war and annexed large parts of the USSR. So much, in fact, that both Kiev and Minsk suddenly were basicaly at the border to Poland. Soviets just took these lands back, which nowadays belong to Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania. If you ask me, Poland had it coming. They like to cry about them being martyrs, but they themselves behaved like dicks the whole time - not only by invading the USSR, but also by helping Hitler destroying Czechoslovakia.
Also funny thing you write about Russian aggression and their troops in Balkans, because back in the 1990ies Russian troops only had a few peacekeeping missions there - they were not the ones who indiscriminately dropped bombs, supporting what is today the only state in Europe that is ruled by organised crime.
It still doesn't typically contain caffeine. There are combination pills, but they are neither aspirin nor typical. And as for migraine, apparently you think that every headache is migraine. It isn't, and isn't even the most common type of headache (that would be tension headache). Using pills that are meant to combat migraine for tension headache would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. This is why most ASA pills don't contain caffeine - people tend to abuse this kind of pills because caffeine makes them more alert, leading to stomach problems in long term. Standard ASA pills for pain and fever treatment are made of 325 to 500mg acetylsalicylic acid and filler like washing soda, silica, cornstarch or cellulose. That's it. Aspirin for blood thinning is the same, but dosed at about one tenth.
There is no need to test it for several Linux distributions, I target specific hardware with a specific runtime environment. You know all these WiFi routers that run Linux underneath a web GUI? Something like that.
Transporting 50 litres of gasolene to a fuel station by truck costs no more than the truck expense, and the truck's fuel expense, and the road wear and tear.
That was a good one. As someone who is actually working in the fuel transportation industry, I can only laugh at such a naivety. Even if we set aside crude production and refinement, the resulting product has to be transported to a fuel depot. Then the transport companies fuel their trucks up at the fuel depots and these trucks transport the fuel to the gas stations. There is far more involved, though, than the cost of a truck and a driver - there is also a dispatcher who is responsible for sending the drivers on their way and who has to ensure that a gas station never runs empty, because otherwise the transport company has to pay a huge fine for every hour of an empty gas station. There is the cost of finding a fitting road, because the truck transports dangerous goods and hence can't take just any road. There is the cost of a vehicle tracking system to ensure that the driver doesn't steal the product. If there is an ice storm you have mentioned, the truck won't come because an accident involving dangerous goods would be very, very costly. There is obviously the cost for operating the actual gas station - the attendant, gas pumps, the large underground gas tank that has to be periodically checked and cleaned because of all the crap that collects at its bottom.
You do realise that 16% of 20 millions of barrels a day is still a fuckton? That is, in fact, as much as the total oil consumption of Germany. Moreover the oil market is a global market, meaning that if a source of oil disappears, oil prices rise everywhere, not just in the countries that were direct customers of that particular source.
Doing what I do now - developing for Linux in Visual Studio. And, to be honest, even though I develop for Linux, I personally prefer using Windows on the desktop both at work and at home (my little home server runs on Debian, but it is mostly used as a data graveyard and the only time I actually use it is when running midnight commander in a ssh session).
True, though it will work out better for them than the alternative.
ORLY? Because every time republicans ruled, poverty went up, not down. And Trump, being a republican and a clown at the same time, is quite a combo.
since the attitude that seems to be permeating the government-media-academia axis holds that people who don't live within a few hundred miles of an ocean are somehow both safe to ignore and too stupid to look out for their own interests. Neither is true, by the way, as the Democrats (and a lot of Republicans) discovered in November.
Actually both is true, and this is exactly what the election has shown. Trump's policies will be by the rich and for the rich, and paid for by everyone else, which is why they are too stupid to look out for their own interests (well, that and what the TFA is about is also very much a proof), and as for being safe to ignore - like I have mentioned, for the "government-media-academia axis", republican rule would only cause some butthurt, but no real downsides, since this "axis" is usually well-off. Like Bertold Brecht once wrote, "only the most stupid of calves vote for their own butcher".
Matter of fact, since I live far away from that particular circus, and since I consider USA becoming weaker being a good thing, I am pretty happy with Trump being the president, but you know, "someone is wrong on the internet".

When it became a full time job, obviously. A side job is per definition part time.
Why not go directly to fusion power? There are, after all, more fusion reactors around than molten salt reactors.
Dude, you are preaching to the choir here - that is exactly what I have written.

Ah yes, how very typical for neonazi crybabies bemoaning themselves as victims even though they are the ones who get violent.

Fuck you and your patron saint Breivik.
These statements aren't mutually contradictory. Crime can be both at an all-time low and still high compared to elsewhere.
Are we still talking about France? Because it already has a grid. Basically the whole EU is one huge grid.

According to Steins; Gate 0 he can indeed.
How on earth is what I have described more efficient than a power line?

These studies weren't that wrong. For people obsessed with meat, gout is a very real danger.
It hasn't.

Well, Slackware isn't a vendor, it is a hobby project by a handful of people. So in this sense, SuSE is, indeed, the oldest Linux vendor.
I think that's a bingo.
Obviously I run the software I develop, how else can I test it?
I simply don't use Linux as a workstation operating system.

And, to be honest, even though I develop for Linux, I personally prefer using Windows on the desktop both at work and at home (my little home server runs on Debian, but it is mostly used as a data graveyard and the only time I actually use it is when running midnight commander in a ssh session).
And why shouldn't Israel do that? After all Hamas denies Israel and its population the right to exist.
