It depends on where you come from - its natural here in the UK to use "are" for the collection, eg "Microsoft are..." rather than "Microsoft is..."
We dont even use pens, we use pencils here in the UK - big, thick, chunky pencils.
GPS isn't a substitute for actually thinking about stuff as you do it.
Or the shooting down of airliners by Americans...
Or the Ukrainians - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
SS2 is a craft designed to carry passengers, paying passengers - that puts it under the purview of the NTSB front and centre.
When Americas Cup boats start carrying passengers rather than crew, then they fall under the same purview.
Because the NTSB is involved, there will be less scope for a company initiated cover up, findings being withheld and important information not being passed to everyone in the industry.
Look at the de Havilland Comet pressurisation issues in the early 1950s - no one knew what was going on, it took a full test with a new fuselage immersed in water and then run through hundreds of pressurisation cycles to determine that metal fatigue was to blame. The findings from that investigation was made available to everyone in the aviation industry in the 1950s, not just to the internal de Havilland design team, so Boeing, Douglas, Hawker, Lockheed et al didn't have to go through their own investigations of their own crashes to come to the same conclusions.
It also opened up a whole new area of science in metals.
Open investigations make sense, because they produce open results, which benefits you and I as the people who may one day travel on a craft which might have potentially been susceptible to the same issues.
Similar things was a big problem with a lot of aircraft the same age as the A300 design - Boeing 737s from that period had issues with rudder reversals for instance.
The thing you keep missing is that the artist (or record company, or estate or whatever) DOES NOT deserve to get paid for every single copy of their song, forever and ever.
That's an opinion, not a fact that can be "missed". And its your opinion - don't assume anyone else holds the same opinion.
There already exists a means by which the complete rights to a work can be bought, eliminating re-occurring sales in the process - but typically that puts the work well outside the purchase ability of a normal person.
Great, a 30 minute flight with a high probability of throwing up each and every trip...
Free quality education, free quality medical care and free child care would help more.
Really, got a link to the charges to back that up?
Unfortunately, this sort of thing can't really be classed as space exploration
The Pacific is a large place, did any conflicts actually happen within reasonable distance of where this piece was found? If not, its reasonable to rule out that it came from anything involved in WW2.
That's not an alternative - wanting to watch Team A is not the same as watching Team B, or Team Z. Or Sport C.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
