I've got to say I have the exact opposite experience. It got to the point I now don't do apple/iphone support for family. The number of itunes issues, osx keystore issues, technical issues with phones was taking a lot of time

Completely agree with you. The concept that saving ~150 people was "just a part of your job" and nothing special is insane. The fact the pilot did everything right IS commendable, it shows dedication to her job, the skill and know

You're complaining about one side using wildly misleading and baseless stats, but then turn around and throw out a completely baseless and fairly absurd claim with no attempt to even back or source it, and then claim that because some

It can be. That doesn't mean it is. Going private allows a company to focus less on shareholder value (its legal first obligation as a traded company save for a legally defendable company charter that counters this in any way, which is

Myself, and pretty much everyone I know buys rags in bulk from thrift stores. They make money off the crappy worn clothes and I get cheap and plentiful rags. Out of style clothes in good shape seems to be the worst issue for thrift stores.

You most likely wouldn't log it, you'd sign away rights to a company that wants to log it, and they pay you a percentage of profit, or more likely stumpage fees. This would mean that public land would work the same, companies want

They addressed it by waving their hands and insisting its different, that doesn't equate to a valid argument. That also doesn't change that the methods and impacts are all the same, the only difference is scale, which is my point.
