An24/26 that had been previously shot down have 2 turboprop engines and also are incapable of flying at 33,000 feet.

It is interesting that the submitter found the topic where it is even less useful to ask Slashdot than asking about the law.

MH1, which flies LHR to KUL, also trends to courses over the Sea of Azov. However, on both the July 10th and July 16th departures it took a route north of the sea. The latter departure was 14.5 hours before MH17. It seems plausible that this is just hunting for good tail winds.

On the other hand, KL809 which departed AMS just 3 hours before MH17 went to the south edge of the sea. BR76, LH782, and AF246 have been sticking to the north edge and center of the sea respectively, but neither had departures on July16.

He found them left behind in a bar, with an iPhone prototype.

"Similarly, it makes zero sense to buy an ebook from B&N if it is available through this program."

If you *currently* have the subscription service then your *current* choice would be to not buy thorugh B&N. However, your *future* choices are not constrained if the terms of the service change unfavorable (since you can you just drop the service).

Since "constraint on future decisions" is what lock-in means, and there would be no constraint, there is no lock-in.

It's like you've never heard of Karl Popper.

That case was solved by sorting them into either "Verizon" or "AT&T".

"switch entirely"
Actually no, it does not prevent you from buying paper books at all.

"locked into Amazon"
Actually no, the most you can be out is only the amount on money you've spent for the current subscription term plus one more if you are currently reading something that is completely unavailable from any other source and which you are unwilling to leave unfinished (though if that work is so important I wonder if purchasing would not have been the correct move anyway).

It's better because this is capitalism and libraries are damned dirty communism.

Your limiting factor is actually cooling. For the W/ft^2 you can pull out of a room you can't fill every rack to the top with Xeons.

This is actually an established size from HP. It allows two 3.5" drives per vertical blade (cheaper than 2.5") which would not fit inside of a 4U chassis, but fits one more chassis per rack than 5U would

The real name policy had rules that excluded people's real names. Now that the rules for what constitutes a real name don't matter everyone can be sure that their real names won't be excluded.

"Dollar coin never took off because they kept making bills. Other countries that have dollar coins stopped making the bills,"

El Salvador uses the US Dollar as their currency, and dollar coins are in use all over the place.

There must be more to it than just keeping the bills in circulation.

Not only will the US agree to defend your mineral extraction with a publicly funded military (by recognizing your extraction rights), they will disclaim any right to tax you on your gains (by not trying to claim sovereignty).

Privatize the profits, nationalize the risks!

The sequel involves stopping the revolt with cavalry lead by an undead George Patton.
