On a real final approach, the plane would also have the flaps up and all that and be purposely less aerodynamic in order to assist in braking.

The best reply I can give is "757 on short final, caution wake turbulance." Anything from a 757 on up generates massive wake vortices. While not as dramatics as seen in movies if you were under one at low altitude, you'd be knocked over. That having been said, its been pretty well establi...

I'd fill in a form and hand it in indicating I'd be moving to France. This is voter registration. We fill in a little form saying "I live here and I'd like to vote here" and they check to make sure you're a real person, and then you can vote. If you move but retain a residence in your pre...

Ok, it's half the public. Remember that you're looking at something like 49% of registered voters being registered republicans and 49% being registered democrats. They get to vote in primaries (which are paid for by the state, I think...), and that makes each primary race an issue of interest to hal...

Anyway, first up. Why do you have to register to vote? Over here everyone that is over 18 years old and a citizen is automatically registered. The person then gets a card in the mail that say you are allowed to vote and at what location you are supposed to vote. Simple. Non of this having to fill o...

Now I also am not sure if the Iranian government is really representative of it's people.

A 757 would have done more damage and left much more wreckage. Before they fell, the towers didn't look particularly more damaged.

A lot of legal action is being persued as well, which could mean nothing, or could signal all sorts of trouble looming come election day. This may sound odd, but I actually see it as a good thing.

That protection already exists in our law, and in our Constitution, and doesn't merely apply to gender. Seems like a waste of time and money, to me.
