From what I understand fuel contract hedging is a pretty standard part of airline business. Obviously hedging has potential to go the other way but it's unlikely to erode profit unless competitors are able to significantly compete on price

Nice article. Interestingly, there's been a bit of buzz about Amazon finding local mail-holders (or distribution partners, or whatever) for "not home" deliveries. I think I saw an article somewhere today about a partnership with 7-Eleven st

Real world or no, I doubt many of my non-geek friends are aware of the patent/innovation/whatever discussion that we're pretty saturated by here in HN-land. Perhaps in certain jurisdictions that hear a disproportionate number of IP related

I'm Australian but not a lawyer... have heard "unable to pay debts as and when they fall due" as a definition of insolvency, which requires one to declare bankruptcy if directing, say, a limited liability company. The actual act of becoming

For at least one DNS server I've setup (I don't know much about it, to be upfront) all requests for which that server did not have an authoritative response were simply forwarded to an upstream ISP server. Maybe this is an atypical setup, o

I thought this - then remembered the A380's lighting systems that (in theory) help passengers get less jetlagged. Similar to F.lux [ http://stereopsis.com/flux/ ] for display color temperature, just on a bigger scale.

Hence 'possibly' - they thought it relevant enough to share, even in its unconfirmed state. Sorry if I made that more ambiguous than it should've been... CM seem to be pretty good at taking a long term view of how to do email marketing give

I disagree with your (hyperbolic?) overrun predictions, but won't international backhaul remain a problem? Then again, a more connected country might make putting proper CDN points of presence more attractive.

Particular reason for scarequotes around 'good' re: botox? Cosmetic surgery connotations aside, botox is used for (quite effective) treatment of cerebal palsy / muscle spasticity.

That limitation is a little bit arbitrary - 110/240 are stepped down, post-transmssion voltages. In terms of interconnection/transmission between states there are ways around this. 50/60Hz poses a little bit more of a difficulty, perhaps...

Can't wait. I'd not seen the noise last week around this announcement - seems like Supermeet might've pissed off a few vendors as Apple blocked out the time to announce FCPX: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20051031-37.html
