That's true, but the same applies to ocean going ships. It would be no good if you are in a hurry!

I think they want to use it for things like moving cargo to begin with, and this is the smaller version, they plan to build bigger ones.

This thing will be awesome once it is fully completed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-39873506 By my calculations it could be just about possible to circumnavigate the world over 5 days, without landing. That would be some trip!

They used to, and perhaps still do, print stories in the Irish version of their paper which contradict the stories printed in the UK paper. They simply print what they think people want to read, rather than the truth.

The online version is the most read newspaper website in the world, with something like 200 million visitors a month. They are smart when it comes to getting people to read what they write. It's more like a soap opera vaguely based on the news. They know what part of the brain to tap in to...

It will be interesting to see how this one works out: https://www.wikitribune.com/ User-created news to some extent, but also employing 10 professionals.

The Daily Mail is a really crap newspaper, but I think we all know that already. That guy is a bit of an odd-ball, no doubt encouraged by the views he gets. But, really that vest was just garbage, cost 60 euros to buy, and probably about 10 euros to manufacture. Most likely it would rip and...

Well, yes they've had to deal with Islamic extremists in Russia, and it didn't work out well for the extremists, such as during the Second Chechen War.

I think much of what Putin chooses to do will be connected to Russia's one big problem, its economy is tied to oil prices. Syria doesn't have that much oil, but it is a major transit country for Middle-East oil. The war in Syria disrupts oil supplies from Russia's competitors, and even if the...

Assad has been using gas for years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_chemical_weapons_in_the_Syrian_civil_war Perhaps 1000 or so killed in the Ghouta chemical attack alone. In any case, doing something like that even when winning seems to be typical. How about the USA nuking Japan when the...

It's odd that sarin was developed by Germany, just before World War II, but the Nazis never used it on the Allies.

I can imagine it could be worth $350,000 again, when he is old.

I think you have to define terrorist before that question can be answered. Some so-called terrorists are acting alone, and may be unstable people who always were heading for trouble. They just want to harm people, for whatever twisted reason. Making out that they're acting in support of some...

I started out, at work, using a Hayes Smartmodem in 1987. I certainly didn't have a modem at home at that time, because buying my own would have been about 2 months wages. Plus ideally you needed a second phone line, so that you could speak with the person you were sending a file to, because it...

Russia, including Putin's own mouth, tells us that they bombed a rebel chemical weapons facility using conventional explosives, and that the resulting horror was causes by toxic chemicals already on the ground. Well, if you look at these photos, you will not see any evidence of explosive bombs...
