I really want Satya to turn the company around, but I’m not sure they can re-invent three plus decades of corporate culture. But we’ll see.

Microsoft is the really infuriating one for me. They always skirt greatness (or at least not-shittiness) and then yank it back just when you’re almost ready to trust them again. Xbone — great voice control, DLC like crazy. We’re not anti competitive anymore! But we’re going to artificially lower prices on low end…

The way I see it is they all should be paying us for our data. Use Bing, support corporations paying us!

"Of course it doesn't have machine guns, air-to-air missiles made them obsolete. Gun battles will never happen in future conflicts." - McDonnell Douglas, 1955 (XF4H-1).

"Oh, you need a knife? Well, I and my team of hundreds of engineers, scientists, PR drones, marketeers, lawyers can, with proper funding, create a Individual Edged Dual-Purpose Combined Penetro-Incisive Close Quarters Warfighter-Retained Weapons System, or 'knife', if you must. We will leverage an ultra-hard…

I call this the "nerd mentality": "newer and more complex specifically only for the exact required function = equal better".

C-5M Pilot here, it's an awesome jet. The upgrades make it takeoff and land, at least in feeling, to the T-1 trainer aircraft that we all fly before getting heavies. I think our reliability rates are low because, as you said, there are very few of them out there, and so very few maintenance capable bases that also…

Just this once, I'd love to see St Louis, Oakland, and San Diego all tell their NFL teams to get fucked when it comes to asking for publicly-funded venues at the exact same time, just to see what happens. It's not like all three of them can move to LA simultaneously.

Completely agree. NASA has put together some very coherent plans to achieve various exploration goals, but without political will and stable funding, they look like bunglers. The quote is not a fair assessment at all.

He was unarmed. His character is irrelevant. The state needs to stop executing citizens on the street.

What is their next major focus? Super fuel efficient narrow body regional jet? A Dreamliner-esque 737 replacement?

The A380 programme will probably never turn a profit.

That's a gloriously proper Bond, IMO. A wrecking ball shitstorm barely disguised as an expensive suit.

And these are all the reasons why On her Majesty's Secret Service stacks up okay and is the one film I desperately want to see them remake. Lazenby shows fear, vulnerability and general messed upness in it, but isn't a good enough actor to convey it as convincingly as Daniel Craig does in Casino Royale ... but it's…

Tomorrow Never Dies picks up steam once Michelle Yeoh takes charge, but the first half with Teri Hatcher drags things down.

...and certainly one of the best title sequences.

Hells yes. Daniel Craig embodies the Bond swagger and smoothness.

The guys on the James Bonding podcast agree with me.

Would have been nice if Dream Chaser would have survived the commercial crew downselect
