@jdale: Nah if they had 'quality', especially western 'quality' then their entire budget would be spend on keeping it running and they would not be able to bomb so much, so that would be nicer for many people don't you think?

@beefmalone: germany in the 40's had superior manufacturing too, but that was only until a short time after the US got into the war, the need makes the industry.

@That Guy: You are talking nonsense, you can't make metal parts that accurate in a plane since it changes shapes with temperature and pressure, there's a famous story that the u2 spy plane was leaking fuel like mad on the runway since at cruising altitude it was a completely different shape and they had to take that…

@anders.jiang: ouch, I guess you have bunions and stepping on those toes was worse than we'd imagine.

@ToastyUterus: and if you were a star you'd fry it I guess

@sheamt84: The space shuttle could not even reach space-proper let alone the sun, but yeah you are right, you need to dissipate.

@Scott Elsdon: I'm sure it's just being respectful to the british royalty :)

@3dken: Celcius isn't the SI unit, kelvin is, although they redefined celcius slightly to make it align correctly with kelvin I hear.

Is shielding any good when you cannot dissipate the heat? I don't think the shadow of a shield in front is enough since the sun is huge and it would radiate in from the side, so then you'd have to have shielding all over but then you cannot dissipate the heat generated inside anywhere, and even the best shielding…

I think I saw this once in some 70's or 80's sci-fi movie, can't quite place it but it looks familiar.

@Maave: Seems simple, the vatican gets mentioned most on that site and linked by that site and from that site, to be fair they should not alter it but let reality run its course.

@ApertureScience: Why would I become like the very thing I dislike? You make no sense whatsoever there.

@Rogue Justice: Frankly it's all in your mind that this is about a comparison between brands, it's about MS when they release such a thing always having an agenda, like pushing silverlight, and about me not liking them to make things dependent on silverlight, already so much on the net is messed up by reliance on MS…

@nahde: Try this: disable automatic updates and actually read what the updates fix, and then slap your head in amazement and be baffled why the same thing is 'fixed' 5 times with no end in sight.

@nahde: Don't get me started.

@Sprzout: I more meant that billboards that are extra annoying aren't a 'good' thing no matter how cleverly made .

@Zen Master: Many heroes are heroes BY breaking the law, I don't quite get where you get the concept that you can't be a hero and break the law.

@Diogo Mafra Figueiredo Martins: I see more and more old stuff, stuff that should be exercises in building standard stuff, being released as 'new and innovative', and perhaps the students aren't aware (?) but there is suppose to be somebody that has some experience around to point these things out isn't there? Or did…

A tablecloth, alright then.

@00Red: ..or forced upon people violently.
