In a little over 60 years we went from rickety wood planes that could barely fly a few meters to walking on the surface of the moon.

TBH I don't see the point of PH when there are sites like AlternativeTo to name one of many that do the same thing and not just with web and mobile apps. The way I see it PH is just a trendier (and barebones) version of these other com

Hey OP have you built any other FOSS versions of webapps?

They assembled kits and built licensed models with slight modifications, the company didn't take off until it was privatized.

Even then you can upgrade the older Mig-29s. Same with the F-15, even a brand new one shares a lot of technology with the original model from 3 or 4 decades ago. And BTW a brand-new Mig-29K is $30MM, far more bang for your buck than this Sc

There's a world of difference between a rusted barely fly worthy Mig and the "Bison" upgrade the Indians and Israelis created. Case in point the old Mig-21 had a so-so radar from the start, the Bison version has a state-of-th

The F-15 is 42 years old, and yet its still being built, still being upgraded, still being sold and still kicking ass. Same with the Mig-29 and Su-27 which are still the mainstay of the Russian forces until the PAK-FA moves into mass produc

It will never get more expensive than $20 million per plane + all the new support structure needed, from new ground radars and data systems to even new tooling for the mechanics. In any case those countries are more far more likely to buy d

Uganda had to ask the US for jet fuel to be able to pursue Kony and his LRA, where are they going to get the money for new planes?

And those countries will keep buying those derelict Soviet planes because those are dirt cheap to the point most are hand-me-downs obtained for free. In those cases the countries have a bigger problem fueling the planes. And I wouldn't

And those countries want to build their own industries and employ their own people as well, same problem. Take the recent failure to sell the SuperHornet and the Rafale to the Brazilian Air Force: they lost the bid because both Boeing and D

Unless they can built it using plants in all 50 states then they don't stand a chance. The F35 is already built using parts sourced from all 48 continental states. Defense procurement has been using pork barrel strategies for decades,

I think part of the problem is that some services' TOS do give users the option to restrict access to their information so if you go and scrap it that might cause problems to the startup where that content was posted to.

Yep I saw a German company selling these P2H (phone-to-headset as I like to call them) cases with some SDK as well. This idea from google is not bad at all and has the added advantage of most likely better software support, however I would

I think the article makes a mistake with its use of the word "diversity" here since these days the common use its ingrained more as a matter of race/gender and not so much opinions, and really you can find plenty of groups wi

My problem is the price: at $199 with contract is going against a lot of much better phones. The eye tracking is nothing new and 3D as a sale gimmick crashed and burned years ago and I don't amazon doing anything revolutionary with it

You can install FOS on a lot of devices, been available for a while now, same as Android itself and Ubuntu Phone or Sailfish. What you are saying only applies to iOS really.

As others have said there are lies and then there are lies , and it also depends on who tells them. PR people for example are basically trained to lie, but with subtlety. They wont outright lie but rather deviate the conversation by pointi

Yeah sorry but from where I'm standing the studios are just suffering the consequences of their own ineptitude: as you might know the app is (originally) from Argentina, but what you likely don't know is that over here there is no

From the UX standpoint the problem with Minority Report (MR) is that when you compare it with the tech we had in 2001-02 its completely INSANE, while Her is actually building on top of something we already have Point in case 12 years ago
