Yes.

If you do not upgrade with the first year (July 29, 2016), you will have to purchase it. Leaked doc from Newegg says $110.
If you DO upgrade within the first year for free, it is free forever.

And people used to think that AOL was "the internet". They were wrong then, too.

This is /. Beta, but even more annoying?

Why don't you buy him a Prius as well? It saves gas and money, right?

As far as "realistic", 5,000 landings per day is the combined total of the 5 busiest airports on the planet.

Of course, I made a typo in there...:)
"To supply half a million people with" = "To supply half a billion people with "

Berlin was one city, a couple of hundred miles away. Not 1/2 a country on the other side of the planet.

'airlift some water'

Well, that's about the dumbest thing I've read today.

Let's assume that 500,000,000 citizens are at risk in India.
Let's further assume that they would benefit from a mere 2 liters of water each, per day.

Water = 1kg per liter
747-400 MTOW - operating empty weight = ~215,000kg. So a 747 can lift 215,000 liters of water (assuming it actually fits inside)

To supply half a million people with 2 liters each, per day = 5,000 747 flights, every day.

airlift some water....right.

The same crappy presenters will use whatever other platform to do the exact same crappy job of presenting the info.
Powerpoint is not the actual problem.

Ah, there it is. The obligatory US bash. Got it in early, too.

Well, one thing going for him. He wins at Bingo.

So if you turn off the 'smart' part, it lasts as long as a less expensive phone without those bits. Gotcha.

How many Republicans? :-)

Probably around 49%. Add in 49% Democrat, and 2% other.
Or were you trying to make a hyuckhyuck statement?

Not unsurprisingly, the word "drone" does not appear in that pdf.

"Drone" correctly refers to either an autonomous or remotely-piloted unmanned aircraft per the International Civil Aviation Organization.

So every toy RC aircraft ever can be referred to as a 'drone'?
