I don't know if this comment is satire or not, but I thought the company existed to provide a fast and (relatively) safe means of travel over long distances to people. I guess the old engineering adage applies here too: fast, cheap, safe, pick any two.

Maybe the connection to this topic won't be obvious, but I used to read Animal Farm and think that the Donkey was supeior to the Horse. Nowadays I don't think that anymore. The Horse was never alone for a day in his life. The Donkey survived the Horse but was left alone. So I now think "I will work harder" is the right approach most of the time.

A great tool, trully a programmer's text editor. Used it for more than 10 years, it seemed like it had plugins for virtually eveything. I remember one time we had to work with huge XML files, like 100 MB in size or so, and everyone was grepping them or struggling with other editors, while jEdit had that nice XML parser plugin which showed a nice hierarchical tree :) Thanks for all the work put into it. Nowadays I tend to gravitate towards KDevelop and others but I hope jEdit continues on.

This answer: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/a/34627 is most likely correct. Based on the fact that main carriage is off the ground, flap setting and wing AoA. During departure the rotation angle would be larger before main wheels leave the ground.
