ah crap totally forgot about that: I spent a fair whack of points to send my partner back to the US in style. My non-us credit card was declined and they cancelled the booking only notifying us when we showed up at their airport and they

1.2 million miles (hey hey lifetime gold!) and I have issues with them all the time. Some are hilarious: the flight attendant that threw the peanut packs from the galley to everyone in first class on a LAX-LAS seg; not packing enou

My local blockbuster had (6 years ago) a policy that if new releases were more than 2 days late they charged your credit card for the full movie cost ($30-40 per DVD). No refunds on this.

Hmmm. I'd have to see this run through an earthquake model. It seems to me that having them stacked/connected vertically would cause problems during an earthquake. Think about those coffee stirrer straws that look like a figure

the problem is that living near the rail line* has been traditionally one of the least desirable places to live. I'm not hand-waving away the poverty or even it's ratios but you will see lots of poverty around a rail line. *there

In the short term it's probably inversely proportional: more 'complaints' means more people on the platform (or at least experimenting with the platform). In the long term we're all dead anyway.

sounds like they have cornered the online stopwatch market... All joking aside it must be really hard work to keep your ranking at #1 when competitors (and google) can easily replicate your functionality.

I wish we had a more detailed delta (including pricing) on the 'as proposed' vs 'as modeled'. What does reshaping the vehicle do to the cost and fitness for purpose?

The Ansys simulation showed very uneven stress markings alongside the body of the pod. “We see a lot of shear stress areas,” Sovani says. They didn't study it but I wonder what the stress on the curved portions of the tube wall would b

"Instead, the debate needs to be about whether or not the extra speed is worth the cost." How about this: the coalitions plan is crap because it provides less service and less future adaptability at almost three times the unit co

I don't know. You seem to be agreeing in tone with the post so it can't be everyone who is contrarian. Sorry. :)

Even sqlalchemy has the mechanism I pointed out. I've never seen an ORM not have it because it becomes important if you're putting an ORM on top of a previously designed database or optimising queries. session.query(Object).from_

as you point out you can build the sql query. I've not seen any ORM that validates the SQL you pass it to build the query. This is how SQLi happens in the ORM tier. objects = orm.rawQueryForObjects("select * from people where na

Yep. The air transport industry is very very change (read: risk) averse. The current APUs (except for 787) have traditionally supplied power at 28 VDC and 115 VAC due to the worries about high voltage arcs. They would rather have more cur

The problem has more to do with Dubai than with the building. Many buildings in Dubai employ similar schemes because the sewerage system wasn't scaled as the city grew. This is like a lot of things in Dubai: roads, public transport a

The patent quoted in the article has to do with software api compatibility. Other than a repeated reference to an OCR wrapper, I don't see how this has to do with email, printing or using a single button to send. In fact, it seems like Mr.

I'd rather pay the content producers than the content providers. In my case I can't pay either producer or provider to see the same content my brother saw last night so it's a moot point. He's my brother and I'm going to do whatever it tak

Not being fluent in the ins and outs of bitcoin: what is driving this? Is it pure speculation? Are more people trying to get in on the BTC wagon (riding the Cyprus wave)?

I guess this makes sense if you look at it from a phone/tablet manufacturers perspective: A manufacturer wouldn't necessarily have the desire to implement their own browser on top of webkit so they want a company (rules out Mozilla) that w

I believe this section is mostly dealing with companies that create a library, patent it, then create a GPL3 app that uses said library without the intention of opening up the library. Looking at you NVIDIA :). The way I'm reading that is
