The claim that planes were found so far away seems like total BS. Assuming the planes could cross the globe (unlikely) then finding any of the 200 planes over such a vast area much of which is remote or ocean is highly doubtful.

My experience with wolfram alpha has been has been pretty good.

T is actually a bonus. Just run the gas around your exhaust manifold or catalytic converter before going to the air motor.

So only 1% of your earnings go to the gov't? Most of us aren't so lucky. Large gov't is funded by the time and efforts of tax payers. If you didn't have to pay taxes I guarantee your life would be different and you would have a lot more freedom with your time and earnings.

The larger gov't is the more money it costs which means you spend your time working to send your money to the gov't. While you are working you are not free to do what you want.

As long as we have Captain Hindsight around we will always be safe!!!!

This kind of retarded thinking is sadly much too common. The question of how all this gov't idiocy actually gets funded seems to escape most people.

It seems that private industry has figured out that when dealing with the gov't that they can regularly provide substandard products, go over budget and behind schedule with no negative consequences and usually benefit from these shenanigans. You blame private industry, others blame government for not providing the correct positive and negative feedback to private industry like any nonretarded entity would.
