Well, those are inflated prices from being listed on Trulia. You can buy thousands of houses in Detroit at auction for $5,000 plus back taxes. They all will need rebuilding. Howeve…

Me too. My understanding is the minute Allen overheard that, he walked out of the Microsoft office and never went back. Hence why whenever you heard about him, it was from his yach…

The ILS is not necessary for landing in VFR conditions, although non-USA pilots tend to rely on it as a crutch.

After V1, the accelerate-stop distance, the pilot is committed to continue flying. The cargo area of most airliners is not pressurized, so the gash is not an immediate problem. In …

Canada has oil, uranium, water ... the resource list is endless.

Anybody know if he got any royalties from Signetics?

Bitcoin ICOs, Mars colonization ... whatever happened to critical thinking?
