That just makes it sound worse. Why should Norwegian get better support from Boeing than Comair? While I have no doubt that FAA or EASA would have reacted with more expediency had the crash occurred in their jurisdictions, it scares me to

Nor any European carriers, nor EASA. I also notice that Canada is not interested in grounding them at this junction. I'd imagine that US pressure is preventing the Europeans and Canadians from grounding them. At least so far anyway.

They should only do that after they have reached operational temperature. Turning off the engine while it's still cold (i.e. below operational temperature) wears a lot on it. This is why diesel is a bad choice, if your regular trips

But don't ads on YouTube follow the more classic advertisement 'demographics', where location is more relevant than language? And it may just be cheaper and easier to just target all of Switzerland?

Browsers should just make it more obvious and easier to configure. But a lot of websites respect this, I've found. You'd be surprised. Chrome makes sure to suggest translating a page. Why doesn't it suggest to change my la

You generally try to design your list so it contains types with common methods by using an interface (not the any type interface{}, mind). You could have a list (slice or map) of io.Writer, where it can contain any type that implements Wri

I am not sure what the parent specifically has in mind, but Churchill wasn't Navy Minister during WW2, and didn't have the same direct control over the navy like he did in WW1, where he really blundered through it. Indeed, I might

I would not be surprised if this was true, or at least had a significant amount of truth to it. It reminds me of the Zimmermann telegram that brought the US into WW1. The UK and the US both knew that Mexico was not going to help Germany (

You are correct, saying 'large portion of the library' was a mistake. But as I remember, you don't have access to the VCL source code with the Community Edition. The feature matrix says that this is 'limited in Communi

The pricing model is the main reason newer people are not getting into Delphi. This is why they tried to lure people with iOS and Android capabilities. But when there are alternatives that are free, why bother? Yes, Delphi has a Community

For almost 11 years now, I've been working professionally with Delphi. And it would be wrong to say it's been a smooth ride. There's nothing wrong - per say - with Object Pascal. Or rather, it's not worse than C++, bu

Iceweasel is only Firefox without the copyright branding of the logo and the name of Firefox. But otherwise, it's exactly the same code base.

The temperatures given are usually air temperatures. If the ground is warm enough -- which it is usually is in the cities -- then it doesn't really matter, the snow will melt in both cases.

Does the US not have a Press Complaint Authority? In Denmark, we have Pressenævnet[0] which handles complaints against media outlets. If an article is found to be at fault, the publishing outlet will be required to publish a retraction&#x2

I concur with this experience. A few years before my grandmother died, I installed Ubuntu on a new laptop for her. All she wanted to do was check her email, view her bank account and play solitaire. It was easy to set up shortcuts to any

Newspaper articles talking about Big Macs would also have helped. And if you are unwilling to release sales figures or website traffic statistics, newspaper articles are a decent alternative option.

It's generally well accepted that Struensee was an Enlightenment and liberal thinker. He believed in these values deeply, and when he saw an opportunity to impose them on a people, he took it. Plus, I'd imagine that Struensee wa

I did read the text. It's humorous. But the question itself is no less important. And considering what happened with Torvalds' position this year, one might think it is a follow up to that question. So I think adding '(20

Using 'e' in the 'ww-e-YYYY' example is pretty bad form, as it is dependant on your local system. So on a US system, 1 in the 'e' field means Sunday, but in say a German system, it would mean Monday. Although
