I believe that the A380 will still have the same 10 across (maximum) seating in the lower class sections as the 747 can have. They say that the seats will be 1 to 1.5 inches wider. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Some think that the std/wide risers are less vulnerable to the problem. I wonder if there is anything to back up that assertion.

Guys who wear Bluetooth phone ear pieces when they're not on a call are fags. But, they pay a lot of money for new gadgets, and damn it, they want everyone to know they have a fancy gadget! If it were not visible, it wouldn't stroke their ego. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Could be, but I expect thermocouples to be smaller. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I didn't call her any of those! Besides, whore is in a whole 'nuther category. It really does have a specific meaning as applied to a person, and should not be used as a general insult, as opposed to a general derogatory term that is a body part, which is free to mean whatever you want. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

The pic A380-8 is nice. I also noticed what might be microphones to check noise levels. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I don't understand, is there a joke I'm missing? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

That was not the first flight. First flight is the first time it flies. There is real nervousness with a real first flight, because they've only done high speed taxi tests before that first flight, they only have simulations to show that it really will fly. On a first flight, the people like me that designed hundreds of switch panel parts in the flight deck that control every single important system on the airplane are on the edge of their seat for the entire flight until it lands safely. The first flight of the 777 included an intentional shutdown of one engine, that is exciting. I believe within the first couple weeks after first flight, a 777 had taken off with a circuit breaker mistakenly locked out, which required that the alternate landing gear extension switch I designed be used. That was exciting to hear about, sure glad it worked. Those luxury amenities could be in any large airliner. It is the airlines that decide to do that stuff. Still cool, but should not be considered to only be possible in the A380. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Many people do not accept the notion that only "affiliate-group" members should be allowed to use such words without the same conclusion being made about the person saying it. This means that condemnation of all that use the word is in order, instead of continuing tolerance of the word within the "affiliate group". I think a white comedian should be able to use the same words in the same way that a black comedian can, and should get the same reception from that "affiliated group". Until that "affiliated group" doesn't tolerate it from their own, then I say their complaint is not reasonable. Of course, as you say, they just can't do that, but I think they should be able to. Do you agree? Do gays use the same words within their "affiliated group" without condemnation? Do you think it should be that way? If a person uses the word cunt to describe a woman they hate, or nigger to describe a black they hate, they certainly are likely to be judged a racist or misogynist. It would be nice if everyone chose to not use the most hurtful words to express their level of anger/hatred, but I don't think it is reasonable to say that anyone using the words against one individual has demonstrated the same feelings toward all. The previous meanings, or more precisely, the previous connotation of words is certainly relevant, at least for the word nigger. What about the question I asked about previous use of the word faggot? You are the one that asked if there are reasons why the use of such words shouldn't always mean a person is a racist, etc, and I offered some. I agree the changing connotation explanation doesn't apply to the word cunt, but to others I think it can be quite valid. Until you claim to read minds, don't assert to know what I think ("being disingenuous"). None of this is intended to excuse what Coulter said, just to answer your earlier, much broader question. That is a distinction without a difference. You often make posts that contain not so subtle insults with no other content. Sometimes I'm guilty of that also, but I do try to avoid it. Lately the communication vs insult ration has been high, I think we're all better of if it stays that way.

Is it also true that Clinton got a blow-job? Yes, Clinton did get a BJ from an intern (like a teacher/student relationship, or congressman/page relationship - usually that is not considered acceptable). But, he didn't just get a blowjob. He was being questioned under oath because of allegations of sexual misconduct. He lied to cover up the pattern that supported the allegations. There were also substantial allegations of being a rapist, sexual imposition & harassment, making advances to a woman on the day of her husband's death, having the Arkansas state police help him get women...

I should have added that although she is to blame, she isn't a victim. She is being treated as a hero, will get rich from it.

It's hard for me to imagine a situation in which a white person can call a black person a "nigger" without it being sufficient to demonstrate racism. Likewise it's hard for me to imagine a situation in which a man can call a woman a "cunt" without it being sufficient to demonstrate misogyny. Maybe you've got an example in mind. Ann Coulter apparently thinks a straight person calling someone a "faggot" isn't a statement about their sexual orientation so maybe language is more flexible than I give it credit for. I think the way people in the real/imperfect/mean world do use language very flexibly, and to accomplish different things. A person may use the word nigger because they are a black comedian and it is apparently a term of endearment in that circumstance. A non-black person may use the word nigger because the extreme negative stigma that most attach to the word hasn't attached itself in their culture, or they may like to use it because blacks use it - 'so why shouldn't I'. A person may use the word nigger or cunt because it is a way of expressing a degree of anger toward that particular person because of something that particular person did that few other words can do. If you really want to hurt a person and don't care what they'll think of you in the future, why hold back the words you use, ya know? In the past, didn't the word faggot not have the extreme negative connotation that it now has? I wonder about that as applied to the English, where fag is a cigarette. This communication thing is actually working lately, don't you think? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

"blame the victim" strategy is alive and well, because, she is to blame for her "outing". OK, so the CIA had her under non-official cover status. Non-official often means the same as not-at-all, and may apply perfectly to this case. She and her husband chose to "out" herself. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I don't even see that as being the biggest issue. It would be interesting to see a report of contacts that Plame had in countries she worked and what has happened to those contacts since her CIA status was made public, but obviously no such report could ever be made public. My guess is that at least serveral of them haven't faired too well in their questioning by their governments. It would also be interesting to see a report on what information those contacts may have given up. THIS is the tragedy here. Not that Plame was compromised, but rather our intelligence gathering capabilities may have been and all for some political payback by some assholes that simply had to have no opposition to their horribly wrong ideas about how to conduct a war on terror. Plame and Wilson compromised her so-called secrecy. To go on about how she was no longer secret doesn't seem reasonable.

To Chris-Ottawa: I'm not sure if you realize there was some bad history of rigs made with fabric housings for the rig. These were troublesome, I believe, because it was not easy to ensure that the cables actually were routed within the fabric housing for the entire length, resulting in some hard cutaways. Hook: I think the Velocity Sports Equipment (Infinity) hard riser housings are especially good because they have an 'eye' that the white loop must go through to keep them placed correctly. I think that even with a 'cap', hard housings can still slide out and lock up the white loop, depending on the length of the cutaway cable. I could not find a pic on the Velocity website of their housings. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

ALL of the attorneys were fired when Clinton came in. Does it bother you so much that they claim it to not be political? OK, so they are lying about it. Did anyone make a fuss about whether it was political when Clinton did it?

So if calling one woman a "bitch" or "cunt" doesn't indicate misogyny, do you also believe that calling one black man a "nigger" doesn't indicate racism? Depending on why a person wanted to insult a black man, it would be an indicator that it might well be true, but not a sufficient condition.

If you still did believe that 'compilers can use..." then that certainly would be relevant. You can easily and quickly show that to not be true. If Hillary's thesis advocated a socialist philosophy, and her recent actions/statements show that she still does, then indeed it is very relevant to - well - everything. It does matter.

I think his divorces are a fair topic to discuss about him. It should not be a "must" that a candidate have not been divorced, but depending on the circumstances, I think it does go to the issue of personal character. I think it reasonable that voters want to know what went wrong with the marriage of a presidential candidate, then evaluate whether it makes a difference to them.

I hope it is just mud, that would be awful to have that spread on the floor of a plane, then picked up by other's rigs.

mi·sog·y·ny –noun hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women. Women is plural. Coulter is a woman, singular. Thank God. I think hatred of a particular woman would not be "Misogyny". That would be hatred of women in general, not in the specific. So, Narcimund is incorrect in saying that calling Hillary Rotten or Ann Coulter a bitch is an example of misogyny.

In Libby's testimony to the Grand Jury he said that Cheney instructed him to give the classified information to the media. Conclude what you wish. This gets into the charge that Cheney was so wrong to "declassify" her status, right? It is within his jurisdiction to declassify information. I think it was quite reasonable, since she wasn't doing anything covert, and she and her husband deserved to have their false allegations refuted. That was not the subject of the trial.
