Check anyway. I never turned Sync on, and yet, through the magic of FB's "ask forgiveness never" policy, my entire phone's address book was up there...

You don't? How about this: Sync was turned off on my phone, and still *somehow* my entire address book (including confidential and unlisted numbers) managed to find it's way to FB. Result: instant deletion of all native iPhone apps with anything to do with FB at all, and it's browser only from now on.

And get off my lawn!

You know the middle seat sucks. And you know that Gulliver's Travels is a great flick.

I hate to be that guy, but no. From Oxford:

At wars end, the Horten brothers were still flight testing the Ho-229, a twin jet engined flying wing. While it looked and was years, perhaps decades ahead of its time, it was a wing, and it followed basic laws of aerodynamics. To suggest that in less than a few years, the two brothers were able to progress from…

Um, it's taken from another jet?

Not weird, or at least, you're not alone. I noticed that with my old iPhone 3G tho. Often I would actually mistake it for an SMS arrive vibrate. Not yet noticed on my iPhone 4.

I agree! The easiest way to cure something is to ignore what causes it. Too many researchers get all hung up and waste time and money on that whole "cause-effect" nonsense.

They will have two iPads. The cost of carrying all that paper around for a fleet that size is literally hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. And yes, that is an informed statement.

And a biscuit.

In New Zealand, I can tell you of at least one "single controller" tower that has a radio transceiver in the toilet stall for precisely that situation. Let the toilet humor begin...

@imaeffinginger: It may well be a legitimate question depending on context. Thirty years ago, the meaning of billion was widely held to mean either one million million (English) or one thousand million (American). Wikipedia cites that it may still refer to one million million in long scale.

@David Corso: Easy, yes. So is chemical pneumonia. This shit is potentially FATAL if you have not done full research on what fuels to use, and how to do it. One video on Gizmodo does not count.

Seriously to God, do NOT attempt to learn firebreathing using kero or similar spirits by yourself. If you inhale by error (and it's easy to do) your lungs are permanently and irrevocably F*CKED. Learn from someone who has done it before as a performer, and practice in the shower with water for a solid month first.

@SlimDan22: So, she's got a new job waiting at the TSA?

@Brian Peter Gluckman: Outstanding.

@KillerMuffinTops: So glad it's finally been said. If anyone seriously thinks a person threatening a planeload of passengers with a knife, boxcutter or gun isn't going to be torn to pieces in 30 seconds flat just doesn't get it. Short of suicide bombing, the power of fear that the 9/11 terrorists relied on to achieve…
