    @badhatharry: Similar to the man in this picture, John had a bar in the living room (there was also a very tacky disco ball). He also had a gym in his tool shed. I made full use of it for the first few months but his Arnie obsession (so. many. posters.) eventually creeped me out beyond all belief. However, I digress.

    Anyway, one day John-I-frequently-complain-about-being-permanently-single-(insert last name here) brought home this Eastern European woman named Vera. He'd never mentioned her before (EVER, and considering we hung out quite a bit that's weird), and yet here she was, cleaning our house, cooking and having very loud sex with a very unattractive man.

    And that was Vera. I moved out a while later because I genuinely couldn't bear listening to the this-chick-goes-to-11 orgasms and spanking anymore. #pw747cowlingbar

    but that douche-bag in the middle completely ruins any emotional incentive i may have towards purchasing the bar. #pw747cowlingbar

    This is a pretty cool idea, but if you were to get one of these You'd really have to point out to the average person that it's an aircraft engine otherwise it would just pass as an ordinary bar. #pw747cowlingbar

    I predict the Boeing 787 dreamliner will crash by last quarter 2010 as they rush the plane out to meet media expectations.

    Well, either it will work and Boeing has a new technology lead over Airbus in building/designing efficient aircraft. Or, it doesn't and the company fails.

    That's pretty much how it works right? I wish they were a bit more open and honest about the delays, but at least they aren't willing to put a product into production with known design flaws.

    Last I knew the A380 was still having major electrical issues.

    In reply to Boeing Swears Dreamliner Will Fly This Year, Really
    As someone who works in QA, I'm more than happy to cut anyone some slack for a delay caused by needing to improve design based on test failures. This is exactly WHY testing is important! I don't know about the rest of the Gizmodo readership, but I personally would rather have a safe plane arrive late, then get a plane on time that randomly decides to pop when pressurized during a flight.

    I also believe that while setting a release date is a good thing internally to give everyone a definate deadline, people really, really need to stop telling them to the public before they've determined if it's a realistic goal.

    Man I phail at teh speelingz.

    @Skunky: Well, then you should know how often problems are in fact uncovered in late QA testing. The difference is, this is an untested and unproven airliner that they want to stuff with passengers. Not just a mundane consumer good. Nobody cares really if a faulty item gets on the store shelf just recall and fix it. But a fault with this airliner could kill hundreds of people.

    Making planes out metal is well understood. The issues and risks are know. What Boeing is doing here -and which they admit has inherent flaws- is throwing away all that knowledge in favor of a whole new way. That's nice. But lives are at stake.

    @LastError: 100% true, which is why it bothers me that they would say "it's due at such 'n such a time" when they themselves can't fully predict the outcome. Just crank on it and make it ready when it's ready, nobody wants to miss something because they're in a rush.

    These are the perils of your subcontractors having subcontractors. Systems integration with that level of dependency is going to have problems.
