Really. Why everyone thinks the 747's days are numbered I don't know. She has at least 10 years of production left with few changes required. They could even do a 747-9 in a decade even more optimized for air freight.
The 777-x would make a great lower cost Airforce 1. Still, for all the wrong reasons and a few right ones, I am glad to see that the 747-8 was picked. The 747 is simply the best looking current production passenger jet in the sky.
There are huge differences. The engines. The avionics. The interior. Even the wing.
They are not even close to stopping production of the 747. With the new 747-8 she has more then a decade of production left in her. Who knows, they may even do a -900 model in ten years.

Uber pays for insurance, therefore there is no 'subsidy' and the risk to Uber passengers is comparable to BETTER then commercial taxi services. Better because Uber pays for more insurance then required by law. There are plenty of cab companies that only go for the minimum.
Potentially is enough to warrant a drug test.
Very handy if I am going to have Van Halen over for a gig!
nope. It is a complex formula of ride comfort, noise, tire wear, traction and cost. Low rolling resistance tires number one problem has been bad road comfort.
This lawsuit is bullshit. I remember this time and the issue from when it happened. Apple had DRM fights with Realplayer and Rhapsody. Basically Apple allowed you to import unprotected mp3 files and audio CD's. They further allowed (of course) purchases from their own store and were under contractual obligations from record companies to lock down music from the iTunes store at that time. What Rhapsody and Realplayer wanted to do is to sell DRM'ed music yet let it play under iTunes and obviously the iPod, so those companies had to hack iTunes to allow this. If they just sold unprotected content iTunes would have happily imported it and there would be no issue. So they figured out how to hack iTunes, Apple saw what they did and changed it. I think this cycle repeated once or twice. If a customer updated iTunes and had hacked DRM content basically iTunes rejected it and forced the user to start clean. That customer would not be able to use DRM'ed content from Realplayer or Rhapsody. Apple was certainly not required to allow others to hack into iTunes and make it play DRM'ed music from other content providers.
As tough as a pill as that is to swallow, it will save him money as the new truck will be more efficient.
The war machine actually kills people, destroys food and crops and wrecksthe environment actively. Why not start cutting there before you think about cutting space program money. Oh, and the war machine takes 100 times the funding, so it is much easier to cut there then from the space programs of various nations.
So it is transparent aluminum?
Exactly. Caller ID should not be allowed to be spoofed, ever. Make it really illegal and start to crack down on any provider that allows it to happen.
The shape of an X when all 4 are deployed.
