I don't think so. Individuals pushing back hard to stop Boeing aircraft from crashing are probably benefiting the company long term, unless, of course, you think having a reputation for shoddy manufacturing is a good thing for an aircraft manufacturer.

I decided 0.

To the submitter: link or it didn't happen.

He's not technically a prisoner at all in the sense of being convicted for something. He's only in custody because he cannot be trusted not to do a runner if he loses the legal process.

I'd be sceptical that you could boot and run DSL off a floppy disk drive given that they only go up to about two and a bit megabytes.

That's not good enough. They all need to fly on their own planes every day.

There's a difference between passing a pilot as fit to fly and passing a new aeroplane as fit to fly. In the former case, the only thing that rides on it is one person's career and you could argue that it is in the airline's best interests that its pilots know how to fly its planes. In the latter case, the financial wellbeing of an entire huge company might be at stake. There is no way a plane should be certified by employees of the company that makes it.

No. Investors are people who have bought a share of the company and hope to be rewarded with a share of the profits. It is in their interests to see that the company accounts are correct and that the directors are doing a proper job.

The people who buy shares hoping to sell them to somebody else for more money at a later date aren't true investors, they are speculators. It is in their interest that the company is perceived to be worth as much as possible.

Unfortunately, there are too many of the latter type of "investors" and too few of the former, to the point that it often distorts the way a company is run by the directors. Share price is taken to be the most important metric of "success" to the point that choices that would lead to a more sustainable business are eschewed in favour of choices that lead to a bump in the short term share price.

That will be when the shit has the fan.

Because the submitter just lifted the intro page, which, itself, seems to mostly about white space.

Also darts.

And snooker.

What if he was navigating with an old style road atlas on printed paper? What igf he wasn't navigating at all and was just driving down the road because he was lost?

There's no way Google has any responsibility for this.

There has been a fix in the pipeline for a while and it was supposed to have been implemented by now, but the restriction hasn't been lifted yet. Maybe the Swiss were told "we'll have fixed it by the time you take delivery" and now they are being told "it's not fixed yet".

The US failure in Vietnam wasn't a military failure. The weapons systems worked fine for the most part. What happened was a failure of political will.

If the North Vietnamese had made an unprovoked attack on (say) a US naval base, before the US got involved, such that the entire US populace was behind the war effort, the USA would have rolled over North Vietnam with relative ease.

This time it's true.

It's now possible to destroy enemy aircraft long before they are in visual range - in fact the Iranian airforce were doing it in 1980 against Iraq with their F14's.

In simulated air combat between the F22 and Typhoons, theF22 was consistently able to "destroy" the Typhoon before the Typhoon pilot was aware the F22 was there.

The idea of avoiding dogfights is not new. In WW2, the F4F squadrons developed tactics that allowed them to avoid dogfights with Zeros because the Zero was far superior at dogfighting.

You can charge a phone off a MacBook pro charger no problem. If you've only got one cable, you can only charge one device at a time, of course.
