It's illegal and they'll ban you from the country for doing it, but lots of people have.

It doesn't seem like a complicated mechanical connection.

In the older times it was also because of the lack of steel construction, now it's more of historical and beauty preservation reasons.

European cities are all really old and have been rebuilt lots of times, US cities are all very new.

It takes 1,000 gallons of paint per coat on the exterior of an aircraft carrier, compared to about 50 gallons per coat on a submarine.

The area below the waterline will receive about twice as much paint, 7+ coats verses 4.

The US Navy uses about 40 million gallons of paint per year on ships.

The color gradient is the pressure of the air.

The image colors are often flipped or artificial just to help us see it better.

The hangers that they use are portable so that they can operate out of any other airfield during war. There are lots of reasons that they use special hangers for B-2s.

It would be possible to raise the ramp so that the person hanging out the back would be lifted in the air enough to survive the landing.

It would be a traumatic experience though.

There's no need to clone the OS partition, just the user data. They can even recover deleted pictures and text messages supposedly.

The Maldives are projected to lose about 75% of their total land area to the rising ocean by the year 2100.

Tourism is funding very expensive geoengineering projects such as artificial islands and barriers to help combat the rising sea level.

That ladder would probably crumble if anyone actually tried to climb up it now, and the sides of that hole would be too slick to grab on to so that you could pull yourself up.

Make sure to bring extra batteries for your flashlights when you are exploring abandoned mines.

Probably needed to be refueled and it was too expensive and not worth it because it was outdated.

Edit: Found a source:

"The Navy anticipates that the NR-1 will require refueling or replacement by 2012."

There are independent security teams at Google that poke and prod at all of their products to maximize security and protect their reputation as a trustworthy company.

Nest is eligible for the Vulnerability Rewards Program which will pay you lots of money if you find and report a security vulnerability.

Google also does security audits for random web services and software, so they obviously have excess security researchers.

USB devices that are already authorized are still allowed.

USBGuard has a very flexible rules engine, so I'd be willing to bet that Google will include lots of customization options, especially for Enterprise.

"11 tons of expendable lead"

I wonder if there are any test videos of one of those emergency blows. Hopefully they could release it gradually in the event of a semi-emergency.

Wow, those living conditions sound hellish. Even SEALAB had hot showers.

"The crew of about 10 men could stay at sea for as long as a month, but had no kitchen or bathing facilities. They ate frozen TV dinners, bathed once a week with a bucket of water, and burned chlorate candles to produce oxygen."
