Operational in 2007.

For everyone freaking out about the new plans not showing up, the release says the plans will be rolled out TOMORROW, the 15th.

It was but the impact is still being felt and some of us are still ticked.

Yeah, adding 16 million to the health insurance rolls...what a piece of low hanging fruit to pick...

I had to ask my teenage daughters about “on fleek” last week. They grimaced and laughed at me.

You’re arguing labels. The fact is export of the Silent Eagle was a failure.

The “bomber gap” is much older than that.

I'm with Kingly on this one. Battery life on my 3GS sucked out loud compared to my iPhone 5. LTE, moderate usage during the day and I'm over 60% capacity when I'm leaving the office for home. The Android devices my kids have can barely make it to 3PM.

Virgin Galactic suborbital flights have not started. SpaceShipOne, backed by Paul Allen, made two flights back in 2004 to win the Ansari X Prize, but there have not been any suborbital since that time by a privateer team.
