Russia probably won't implement reuse at all - it was planned in the 1980ies with the Zenit boosters for Energia having wings and Buran autolanding software - the Zenit engine is still reusable - but the plan was killed together with the USSR and Angara is going to be a classic rocket. It is too bad really, I am fascinated by the Soviet space program, it has a kind of a retro-futuristic vibe, sort of steampunk or atompunk feel and was very impressive, especially given the general lack of funds and not quite as developed industry. But after 1991 nothing really new or interesting came out, the space program lost at least one generation of engineers, if not two, and the pissing contest between Russian and Ukrainian OKBs was also sad.
Sony doesn't do that, hasn't done it for "fucking years, absolutely years". The battery uses a clip on connector. Unfortunately the battery is behind the rear cover that is glued to the frame and often the battery is glued to the middle frame and has tu be unglued very carefully lest you want to damage the display ribbon cable that runs directly underneath the battery
Not Sony Xperia, which TFA is about. They are usually glued shut and often have a glass rear cover that tends to shatter if not unglued very carefully. Also after replacing the battery and sticking the rear cover back on the phone often stops being watertight. I repair Sony phones as a hobby, so I have plenty of experience.
Ouch. That was disappointing. I have expected better from you, Bruce, not this kind of a strawman argument. Have I accused you being a paid Musk shill?
I have, in fact, added them. Four times in the past 40 years. This is how often any R7 derivative has failed in the first minutes after launch. Almost all other failures were in the third stage which is most certainly not "exploded on pad". And if I had counted just the actual Soyuz, it would be just two times in the past 40 years or so: in 1983 and in 2002. Soyuz 11 was 45 years ago and it neither has exploded on the pad, nor in the first minutes after launch. The reentry vehicle failed. Soyuz 1 happened almost 50 years ago and was also a reentry vehicle failure. Apples and oranges - SpaceX can't send people in space and can't take them back to earth in first place.
Like i said, fuel cooling was also done by the Soviets - but they have decided that making the fuel more dense chemically is a more practical approach for them. Chills fuel meant more infrastructure (that was always a problem there) and also means that the rocket needs some thermal isolation of the fuel tank, which would make it heavier.
You are mistaken in thinking that dense fuel is something nobody else wanted to try. USSR did that in the 1970ies, they have even developed a special high density fuel (syntin) but stopped using it in the 1990ies due to high cost of it.
Russia uses Proton for heavy lifting, Soyuz for lighter loads and manned flights. Proton is more or less the same as Falcon 9 FT in launch cost and capacity, with the difference that Proton is man-rated, even though it never had a manned flight.
I wish. No instagram feed at all, but nevertheless a depression (more or less manageable thanks to SSRI and NDRI).
Actually it is somewhat surprising that depressed people allegedly post more on instagram - listlessness is one of the symptoms of depression because, well, what's the point?
Not really like Apple, but more like Microsoft - Canon is the de-facto standard, unfortunately. Sigma even uses the Canon protocol in their line of DSLRs.
Just how many operating commercial breeder reactors are there? Exactly, just two, both in Russia. There are other two, in India and Japan, but these are just research reactors. Even the reactors in Russia are still considered prototypes. Breeders are very difficult and expensive to build and operate. Solar power is cheap as dirt compared to the cost of operating a breeder reactor.
Firefox for Android is barely usable. I use it because it supports ublock, but I am not happy about Firefox at all. It is awfully slow and eats a lot of battery and RAM, even on higher end devices (Galaxy S5, Xperia Tablet Z4). It is the only application that manages to crash Android completely. Text reflow has been for some reason removed two years or so ago. Copy&Paste is different from normal Android copy&paste. Firefox often misses hyperlinks. Several animated GIFs can slow it down to a crawl and if I try to close the tab with them, it can take up to a minute until it is actually closed - until then Firefox doesn't respond at all.
Except that even the NATO HQ told Turkey that it was uncalled for. And Erdogan apologised some time later and jailed the pilots who shot down the Russian aircraft. And now there is S300 stationed in Syria which can legally shoot down any NATO aircraft overflying Syrian airspace. Nationalism is stupid.

Well, birds of a feather flock together.
Yep, the first officer is just second in command, but a fully qualified pilot otherwise.
Well, there is the Green party and also the CPUSA, both are actually left. Not that they play any role in US politics, though.
People generally can tell a lot of things. In this case the patient should tell the dentist to suck it up and remake the crown under warranty.
By your logic the Gaza government isn't authoritarian because people voted for a terrorist organisation to rule them.
It is darwinism if this selection leads to crash-resistant pedestrians.
I wish.

You can officially unlock bootloaders of most Sony phones, but doing so removes the DRMed functionality (some camera codecs).

It is. Much better, in fact. Windows 8 is worse than Vista.
Probably. USA wouldn't export a really stealthy airplane (F-22) even though several countries would rather buy that than F-35.
