Anybody realise the blond guy seems gay? The way he blushes and smiles makes me think he might be Michael Jackson in disguise... Give me an idea what he might be holding in his left hand

I no longer have the desire to fly!
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

I just wrote the following TypeScript statement
var questions = this.forms.forms.selectItem()
.data.Groups().enumerable()
.where(x => x.current.GroupType() === Server.GroupType.Normal)
.selectMany(x => x.data.Questions())
.distinct(x => x.current.ID())
.array();
And I just thought to myself, "How lucky I use TypeScript instead of JavaScript"! 
I can only imagine how hard it will be to write such a statement correctly without good intellisense in JavaScript.
Not too mention how some zealous programmer might unknowingly break it by refactoring something somewhere (else)...
As a side note, I got a nice Enumerable class in my TS utilities now!
Wondering what to do... can't just drop it on CP (without explanation), nor do I feel like creating CodePLex project for it, what to do, what to do?!

There is a real different?

On what platform do you have intellisense problems whit this code?

I mean from this to that there are 17 dots.
17 ways of making an application breaking typo!
TypeScript will eliminate those!

JavaScript intellisense never gave me the exact method for the exact object I am using....
Maybe I missed out something?
But I always have a long list with all possible methods of all known objects?!

Did you used /// <reference path="MyObject.js" /> at the top of your code?
You also have to use new MyClass to let intellisense to correctly identify your object...

Nope, I didn't!
But I do now, otherwise the .ts file doesn't compile!!

Bus stations and railway stations carry more frieght and passengers too. The number of incoming and outgoing passenger load is all the more high. But the security and frisking is all the more high at airports. But nothing concrete has still been established in terms of security and hijacks anywhere in the world!

probably costs?
I am pretty sure the overall cost of an aircrash is way higher than a buscrash...
(Including possible life insurance)

Shouldn't value of life should be more than the commodities concerned?

I suspect 9/11 is part of it.

The only thing 9/11 contributed, IMHO, was an added charge in our air tickets as 9/11 fee.

Well, that and how good planes are at bringing big buildings crashing down.

That is what it appears to the public.
There is huge amount of 'intelligence' going on in the background which is steering these decisions. I was on a security course with work a few years back and it was interesting to hear that the [..........censored...........] were currently [..........censored...........]
Also some of the key targets such as [..........censored...........], is where the key concerns are. Take those out and it would [..........censored...........]

Buses and trains are pretty inefficient as missiles.

Depends on what your target is.

You can jump out of Bus/Train,but not the Airplane...

Fear & the ability to instil fear & outrage - the objectives of terrorism.
Blow up a train or bus most people are going to survive. Try and take over a bus or train and the driver just needs to stop for people to escape. Now imagine you are on a plane - the victims are effectively trapped
and at the mercy og the terrorists, if they take down and everybody dies. The media will report a plane incident much more than the other modes of transport. To increase the effect, chances are this is going to be an international incident - multiple nationalities so the "message" is going to be sent far and wide.
My guess is that if reporting of terrorist incidents was completely banned the threat would be mostly removed - this isn't about killing people, it's about creating a climate of fear and disruption. To this end many of the of the security procedures are actually doing what the terrorist wants. I certainly wouldn't want to travel to the US under the current paranoia nut-job levels of security checking.
