Comment Re:hello? 70% fuel reduction! (Score 1) 459

A 737-700 has a fuel capacity of 6,875 gals and jet fuel weighs 6.84 lbs/gal so a 737-700 carries 47,025 lbs of jet fuel. If the D-Series uses 50-70% less fuel then you have a weight savings of 23,512-32,917 lbs. That seems pretty significant. Of course, this all assumes the D-Series is the same size as a 737... so who knows.

You can try the Sprint Everything Plus Plans (http://delivery.sprint.com/m/p/sprint/epc/epclanding.asp)... The lowest priced is the 500 minutes for $59.99 and gives you: "Everything Data plans give you unlimited data, messages and calls to any mobile, anytime while on the Sprint Network." (More features here: http://shop.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/everything_popup.shtml)

I don't plan on using the wireless hub... so add on the 4G and its $69.00+tax/month (+7.99/month if you had the total protection insurance).

I'm on the SERO and it runs me about $45/month but its time for a phone upgrade so its either this or the TP2 and stay on the SERO

While it is true some volunteered after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, others were already in the service and though they may not agree with the policies of the administration, they still have a contract to fulfill. And then you have the other that are 15 years into their 20 year career, would you have them just throw that all way?

Yes it is a volunteer force... doesn't mean we agree with the wars.

I'd imagine the problem is power distribution. With these they could theoretically have local solar farms which in turn could power water purification systems and wells. Unless they can pave roads with these things, you've got me on that one. I can definitely see the benefit to developing countries or HA/DAR support.
