The question was what happens when there is a leak and you cannot breathe, not what happens if there is a complete loss of cabin pressure/air. Planes don't fly in a vacuum, but they do fly in substantially less air pressure, which is why we pressurize planes. If the capsule lost all air pressure then yeah, they're going to have a really bad time and air masks are not going to save them, but as another answered they would seal off the segment and provide local atmosphere.

The question was what happens when there is a leak and you cannot breathe, not what happens if there is a complete loss of cabin pressure/air. I answered the question that was posed. So take your uppity attitude and go for a walk.

Ever ridden on an airplane?

He's a lefty so he is leaning to lefties. Would love the right to come forward with someone offering the same kind of promise. Then we can have our reform AND still vote for the candidate that appeals to our issues the most.

You are comparing a Ford Escort to a Ferrari.

Suck it, Trebek.

A 4.0? That's just a little strong than a freight train going by.

We already have libraries full of books and ebooks. If Kindles could be loaned out like books and enough copies of ebooks were available for the additional demand, we could do this with much of the infrastructure we already have. Plus, by keeping the ebooks in libraries we ensure that each book can be read by dozens or hundreds of patrons.

There's money involved but the enforcement of laws is more important. No enforcement = no compliance. Yes this can be used for bad, but so can every single technology ever made. It's all about how it is used.

No and then!

Comcast in our area was willing to run the line to an office if we paid for the cost of running the line. At the time they needed a new distribution hub with it so the cost was $60k+. 2 years later they changed their tune and did it for free in return for a 2 or 3 year business class internet contract.

Chances are good you'd need a hub in your subdivision so it isn't like running a single cable and daisychaining the houses will work. If you can get commitments from enough of the neighbors however, you may be able to get somewhere with the company. 10 homes wanting $100/mo cable+internet adds up to $1200/mo and $14,400/yr. That might get them interested. 5 of you wanting $40/mo Internet only isn't likely to get them interested.

“We have built the TOCs in separate locations to ensure redundancy in the case of a natural disaster or man-made incident,” says Frohwerk. “Should the Adler TOC go down, we would simply send the next shift to the Sochi TOC and carry on.”

So if a TOC is blown up, they'll just send the next shift to the other TOC and continue? Ummmm....
