The age distribution is interesting with the rate increasing and then falling after reaching the age of 65+. I'm not qualified to make any assumptions based on the data, so I'm leaving that somebody else.
Ah yes, but by converting from 530 km to 330 miles and back again you've just lost some accuracy. 330 miles rounds to 531 km. And 530 km should have rounded to 329 miles.
The fact is that they should have given the altitude in feet, as almost every altitude in aviation is given in that unit. The Russians use the metric system for their altitudes, but they are pretty much alone.
An altitude of 530 km converts into 1 738 845.14 feet. I would probably round it to 1 700 000 feet, because the measurement is not accurate to begin with and there is no indication if it is a geometric or a pressure altitude.
In this case the accuracy and unit doesn't really matter, but that is not always the case.
I've not heard an aeroplane manifacturer say "man, all of you who drive cars, gotta be away in a mental institution or something. cars have to be thrown out, sad, but true"
Airplanes and cars fill different needs so your comparison doesn't count. Airplanes are useful for longer distances and cars for shorter distances. The both solve different variations of the same problem.
The same is true for SCM systems, where several systems try to solve the same essential problem, but in that fill different needs. As other people have pointed out, GIT solves the SCM problem in a decentralized way while tools like SVN solve the problem in a centralized way.
Choose a tool that solves your problem while catering your needs.
I don't know about simulations but where I work we perform calculations in regards to aircraft performance. And more cores means faster calculations which can mean two things:
1) More calculations => more customer requests served 2) Higher precision => better results for customers
Probably never, these days they actually do some calculations to decide how much fuel to carry.
There are a few different configurations for the route taken by a plane. The most common is from a departure point to an arrival point and from there the possibility to reach a alternate airport. Other configurations are for two alternates and such things as replanning while in flight to decide if they should continue to the destination or head for the alternate.
Anyways, the regulations say that you should carry enough fuel to reach the airports on your route, which includes the alternates. So on a regular flight there will always be some fuel left when landing. In the case as described by the GP they probably wont run out of fuel while flying around the storm. And if fuel runs low there are always the regulation that for every point on your flightplath you should never have more than one hour to the nearest airport.

Actually the grandparent is correct. The reason airlines can sell seats to the (relatively) low price they do is that the load the airplanes full with cargo. That cargo pays for the major part of your seat.
No, what has to be done is enforce a policy where the contributor takes full responsibility of their commited code. That the contributor basically says:
1) that it has the copyright for all code it commits
2) that a license for the code is granted
3) that usage of all patents covering the code is granted
There is probably some other legal stuff that I have no clue about that also has to be put in such an agreement. Certain projects already require such an agreement before allowing contributions, yes it makes things harder to contribute, but it also makes things safer for all of us.
Its not a solution for everything but it might be a step towards the real solution.
The Pirate Bay is located in a large datacenter in Stockholm operated by Rix|Port80. The police did not only seize TPB servers but seem to have seized every server in that particular datacenter, which could explain the change in traffic.
You're thinking of Piratbyrån not the Pirate Party (the later is a political party and the former is a non-profit organization).
I can confirm that the servers have been seized by police, and many other servers located in the same datacenter. And I know of atleast two servers that have nothing to do with TPB that have been seized, or are at least inaccessible.

There is data available at http://www.who.int/mental_health/prevention/suicide/country_reports/en/index.html which contains PDFs split by country.
Here is some badly formatted data form the Japan PDF (at http://www.who.int/entity/mental_health/media/japa.pdf )

Either thing works for me.

Don't worry, flying is actually pretty safe.
