If:

A to B to C costs $Z

How does discarding C cost the airline more? If the airline sees this kind of pricing is not economically feasible, just raise the price. Why are they (or we) obligated to support their loss leader model?

So book 2 one ways: JFK-LAX-???, LAX-JFK-???.

You don't *have* to book that as a round trip, although if you book the return leg on the same airline you throw away ??? You might have your return leg cancelled.

Fwiw frequent fliers have known this for years. Search the forums at flyertalk.com

Why would you sync rather just allowing federation? Just consume a SAML token through AD Fed, or an OAuth token via Google.

CanCon doesn't mandate playing Canadian music per se. Time spent by the hosts reading the news or other such content counts towards CanCon.

I believe the US congress has already been proven to be immune to common sense ;)

for one, SHA-2 is a hashing algorithm, not encryption. Secondly, although the math is sound, the algorithm which generates the seed for the PRNG is allegedly based on constants which make the crypto trivial for the NSA to brute force.That algorithm is known as Dual_EC_BRDG.

But would that 100K 1 time cost, have led to a much more expensive battery of tests to re-validate the entire aircraft?

Its like a 2 line code change that causes 100hrs of test cases.

Trindad is rich with oil - how is this odd?

Contrary to TFA, multitasking existed before 1982

Halon hasn't been advocated for years, what with the nasty side effect of depleting oxygen and killing people and stuff. Water + insurance + good backups is the current best practice.

sorry to be pedantic, but this is a common and incorrect assumption regarding Linux TCO. If you're running a production server, you get a production license/support agreement. You can't, and shouldn't expect there to be zero cost in a production environment.
