    Meh. There is an excellent article in today's Washington Post pointing out that the "red-hot" stock for Tesla bears no relation to the company's actual financial situation.

    The plane belonging to state-owned Nepal Airlines was trying to land at Jomsom airport, some 200 kilometers northwest of Katmandu, when it crashed on the banks of Kaligandaki river.

    Yet the Wiki entry says:

    The accident happened when aircraft skidded off the runway and fell 20 meters down into Gandaki River.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Nepal_Airlines_Twin_Otter_accident

    Runway 06 ends about 90 meters from where the river crosses the flightpath of anyone using that runway. That's a heck of a miss if they landed so far down the runway that even an additional 90 meters wasn't enough to stop the plane.

    If a nut can come loose and start a fire in the control panel in an enclosed space with no hatch entry during flight, should an aircraft full of passengers be allowed to be compromised by the looseness of a single nut?

    There was no fire, only "discoloration".

    Hard to understand. Why would vibrations cause discoloration? Scraping or scratching from the wires? And what was the color?

    I'm not saying this is what happened in THIS case, but: If an eyelet lug is on a bus post with a nut to hold it in place, but the nut isn't tight, then the vibrations from things such as the plane taxiing on concrete will cause the lug to momentarily lose contact with the post - causing a small arc. The arc will discolor things around the point of arcing.

    Another case of a man considering other lives to be his property and therefore his to do as he pleases. Scum. You want to break this cycle? Start eliminating the culture that puts the "man of the house" above all others in the house.

    all Russians only? why?

    Just because the ship was registered in Cambodia means nothing about which country the ship operates from and the composition of its crew. This crew consisted entirely of Russian and Ukrainian nationals. Apparently about one-quarter of them were trapped below when the fire broke out.

    He's not wrong. The U.S. occupying forces DID commit a ton of offenses against Japanese women - so much so that JAPAN set up U.S. servicemen-only brothels seeing as they were not allowed to officially accuse even buck privates of committing crimes. To the best of my knowledge, the girls in those (and most of the "comfort women") were already prostitutes when they were pressed into service.

    Okinawa marks anniversary of return to Japan

    Ok. Not that big of a deal, but then...

    Protests were planned in Tokyo and there were no official ceremonies in Okinawa.

    Sounds to me like Okinawa DIDN'T mark the anniversary.

    The IRS is the same organization that is going to enforce payments for ObamaCare. We should all question everything these people do.

    Nooooo... That job falls to Congress - just like it did in all the previous administrations. The IRS handles tax revenue and who is to supply it. They don't get to specify where the money goes once it is received. That is CONGRESS' job. But we can't blame a President if we have to acknowledge almost 600 other people are the actual ones funding the programs, so let's get our dig into the President anyways regardless of reality.

    I actually fail to see the connection between Victorian-style dress and pedophilia. Hence, I fail to see how this style came to be known as "Lolita Fashion".

    Lolita, a slang term for a sexually attractive, seductive or precocious young girl

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_%28disambiguation%29#Other

    You'd think the mini-skirt with thigh-high stockings would be more likely to be considered "Lolita fashion".

    Women on Okinawa on Wednesday demanded an apology from Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto who suggested U.S. troops there make use of its thriving sex industry.

    Wait... he needs to apologize for suggesting the military use the services of people already in the sex trades? If they don't, isn't that when the rapes happen?

    Hashimoto’s suggestion was that servicemen be allowed to patronise legal sex businesses there to give them an outlet for frustrations that might otherwise result in violence or crime.

    Yeah. That's what I thought. I guess the Okinawans are getting panicked that they might lose a major whining point if U.S. servicemen stopped assaulting them and instead used the island's "thriving sex industry".

    Fire on a ship is always more serious than fire elsewhere. Even though the bulkheads are fireproof, the fact that most compartments are water-tight means that they're also AIR-tight for the most part. A fire in one compartment will quickly consume all the oxygen in the compartment and then try to get "fed" through the ventilation ducts which are rarely free of accumulated burnable dust and lint. Add to this that there are many compartments where there is only ONE exit and if the room you're trying to exit to is the one on fire, then at best you're entering a low oxygen environment and at worst opening the door causes a backdraft explosion.

    Huh? Based on the picture, isn't the shape of the seawalls going to concentrate the ocean surge (and creating a higher wall of water in the process) into the center of the "X" where it can breach BOTH walls at the same time? Is there some hydrological aspect I'm not understanding here that won't make the dot on the map the WORST place you could be?

    That's standard practice on all Japanese military aircraft... last three digits repeated at the front, even if they start with a zero.

    That's standard practice in Switzerland as well. -> http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace/media/berniec/images/23171/swiss-air-force-f18-hornet.jpg

    Actually it IS a service pack. It's just that because it will change the look and feel of the OS that they have to give a new version number.

    Microsoft doing something for free, pigs are flying.

    Microsoft Photo Story has always been free and is a smart little program. Even though it says it's for Windows XP, it runs just fine on Windows 7.

    I guess she should be glad she didn't have a high risk for bone cancer. It would suck opting to have all your bones surgically removed in order to virtually eliminate the risk of cancer.

    The Washington papers repeatedly mocked "24" because of Jack's apparent ability to warp from one end of DC to the other in only 10 minutes.

    So if this mini-series is only 12 episodes, does that mean each episode will be two hours-long? One of the selling points of the old show was that each episode was supposedly happening in real-time (one hour of show equals one hour of Jack's day/night.)

    If this was the other way around (a mother who had killed her 2 kids and was claiming it was because she was stressed) we would have lots of people jumping to defend her (probably myself included in this), and saying how hard it is to be a single mother, etc.

    While you might defend a woman in that situation, don't try and assign your values to anyone else. Just because it would be a mother instead of a father doesn't change things one bit. You don't kill your children - for ANY reason.
