How much extra mass would this coating add to the wings and horizontal stabilizers? The surface area of the wings could be rather large, and adding mass to it will impact the takeoff runway length, engine power and fuel capacity requirements.

French wine.

I like it. Wish I had the skills to do something this good, having been using Linux since 1992 from the old SLS and Slackware days. :( I am old.

The shaky camera technique which more movies are adopting these days, makes me feel queasy and I'd walk out.

Go for it, don't be afraid to take risks, you have far more to gain than you would lose.

When I read about the MtGox case last year, everything about the supposed "hack" appeared shady and often outright false. BitCoin itself uses a great underlying concept, and I hope it can evolve into something beneficial.

Man's selfish by nature. Combine this with an absolute lack of conscience & morality, some psychopathic trait, schizophrenia, etc, and you have someone truly evil. People like Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot can't be explained any other way. I suspect they themselves have little control over their decisions once they reach the "truly evil" stage.

Why bother? Life on earth has a tendency to take care of itself. We overpopulate, strip the earth of natural resources, cause drought and famine, and in a few decades or centuries the population will automatically plateau or reduce to a sustainable level.

Even if we decimate the earth with slash and burn agriculture, strip mining, burning fossil fuels, and nuclear dumping, the planet is going to be here a long time, and will become habitable to some other species at some point in the future.

Leffe beer.

This is interesting because the iron dome shield is only effective against rockets but not missiles. That said, who does Canada expect to be shooting rockets into the country? North Korean submarines coming in from across the pacific?

It's just publicity, negative or positive, any way you spin it. Think about the tech-unsavvy people. It's not about "taking just 2 more mouse clicks to set a default browser". It's about grandma Edith who can't for the life of her figure out those two clicks.

Is it just me, or is there no link to the image(s) under discussion in the BBC article, or to the "internet campaign" the photographer launched to find the subjects?

Wouldn't you get absolutely bored and wish you were dead instead?

No oil. BP, Shell, Chevron, etc aren't interested.

Well, Beijing made money in 2008, London made money in 2012, Atlanta and Barcelona made money in the 90's. Other like Greece bled cash. Sochi last year was the most expensive in history, and I'm pretty sure they burnt through piles of cash, as I think Rio will next year.

Why are the Olympics dead, though? 2012 was pretty awesome and so was 2008. The decision to be a host city is a political tightrope, with each city and country having its own reasons.

He stole something and blamed me for it. Got me into big trouble at home. I took my time, caught him over the weekend when he was walking back alone from the playground, dislocated his shoulder and nearly broke his ribs. Haven't spoken to him in decades now.

Oil slick on a rainy day at 100km/h. I've never had all my senses and awareness come together so quickly.
