They’re direct competitors and have been since their inceptions. Both companies are competing to deliver airlines a means of moving passengers as cost effectively as possible. Modern airliner design is a heavily regulated and very mature industry. A new aircraft program is a huge undertaking, so companies will only…

Yeah, my family has given alot for the country.

But where did Boeing get such awesome Wing folding tech, .... oh wait... never mind.

I was talking about Mars and colonization and quoting Aliens. If you want to discuss the ramifications of acts of war, go find LostPolitician.

and compromised design requirements never lead to expensive compromised aircraft right?

This actually paints Samsung in a better light. They could have delayed, fidgeted and waited, instead they’re rushing the recall on their flagship product. I know it’s a little late and doesn’t correct the issue, but my respect went up a bit.

They should have gone for that blended body sea plane, that was all the rage a few years ago.

Actually, it’s the best metric I’ve seen so far for looking at passenger efficiency. A fully loaded dreamliner has better miles per gallon per seat than a Prius with only the driver.

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Wow,

The problem with our generation is unrealistic expectations. You just have to realize, we can’t do things our grandparents could. So screw Mars, For me, I’d be extremely happy if a human gets above LEO in my lifetime

I love writing teenagers because I feel like they’re the most raw characters that you can possibly write. Everything is the first time. There’s never a “now I’m done.”

I was an avid fan of slasher flicks, but then I discovered the shotgun rule.

I could tell you, if I had more data. For example, are the explosions due to a random manufacturing defect or an inherit design failure. If it’s the first, the defective units will remove themselves (and possibly their users :( )from the population early leaving the rest to fail to other causes.

First order approximation from actual reports over number sold. I need more data to tell you the mean time between failure or any other reliability metric.

You’re not kidding. As a consumer you have less than a 1 in 10,000 chance your phone is going to explode at any time. Now when you stack enough of these together independently, you all but know, one of those boxes is currently a mini lithium powered inferno spitting out Hydrofluoric Acid fumes.

Cookbooks are nice, but I perfer eating out. What’s the chef’s special, today?

Listened and don’t care. I’m only using this argument as an excuse to post Eckstein Ahsoka cosplay picts.

The free devices are all returned Note 7's ?

then tack on a post credit scene, do I have to think of everything!
