It is mandatory that the avionics are physically disconnected from other systems. The story is a consequence of the Wired writers misunderstanding the FAA's report. A comment (by 'Vorsicht') in the article's comments points this out....
Wait- An American and a Brit, arguing about what the rest of the world wants? Following a discussion about just what constitutes a cunt and an ass? It's those damn ironies again....
Anyone who has ever worked with end-users can tell you that they are generally disinterested in learning anything about computer usage beyond how to use word and make a spreadsheet.
That's generally because they use computers as a means unto an end, rather than for their own implicit wonderousness. And it's "uninterested". A disinterested judge listens to both sides equally, an uninterested one is asleep.
I reckon he pushed for a settlement on the basis he'll be needing some cash for his divorce. He wants to count himself lucky- In the olden days, when you got robbed by a monopod, often as not it was Davy Jones's locker next....
"You can find a way to do it [use Bluetooth] that doesn't infringe on the patents, or you can buy it from Broadcom. That's why WRF is not going to sit back and let it go without it being addressed," Lisa said.
That's "not going to sit back" in the exact same sense that I'm not going to sit back and post to a slashdot non-story, trashed, and listening to cricket at 4:30 in the morning.
Having grown up in England in the 1980s, you lost me at the phrase "fanny paddle". When I recovered my breath, got up off the floor and read the rest of your comment, I realized that you have become classically old and grumpy. Between the dawn of human kind and about 150 years ago (in the west), rape and pillage were the rule, and dead bodies, mostly baby sized ones, littered the floor. Life was endless carnage.
What you see now (again, in the west) is a paradise compared with 99% of human existence.
"There's really no limit to what you can do with waste tires"
Indeed, I think it was Euclid who devised the first proof of this- Something like: 1. Take any existing known use for the tires. 2. Combine it with any other known use. 3. ??? (Possibly "Nooo! I mean on the internet"). 4. Profit!!! You have created a new use!
Man, I just got to point out that disaffected kids have been killing since before computer games were about- Check out this snopes article on the above mentioned Boomtown Rats song http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/mondays.asp
It has some info on 'prior art'....
The USA's transformation from wilderness to superpower in a couple of centuries was mostly predicated on a wealth of natural resources, particularly oil, and the fact that Europe couldn't get enough world war action.

Regarding this traffic thing, 'they' tried it in a small town near me a few years ago, and have since reverted to normal. It turned out that drivers were only more cautious because they sensed something unusual. As soon as everyone got used to the lack of markings, the safety effect wore off.
Hey, I'm in the happy Orange £4 a meg club too. The only thing I've found which assuages my impotent rages is the Opera mobile browser. - http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/. It compresses the data before it gets to your phone,and YMMV but I get about 30-50% extra for the money. Sadly, it's so much better than the comedy Orange browser that I use it twice as often.
"Perhaps I'm just in a bad mood because my pet just died, but isn't it depressing that all of the medical technology in the world can't give one of the greatest minds in the world a semblence of a healthy body?"
Sorry to hear about your pet, and I am sure you loved it very much, but I'm sure we'd have heard about it before now if it had 'one of the greatest minds in the world'. It's just your grief talking.
Most sensible people would have to be disappointed with Sony's recent shenanigans, obv. But given that they're launching just before Christmahanukkwanza, with a relatively small number of units, the alternative would be to hand the profit over to the eBay scalpers. When serious volumes are available next year, they'll drop in price quickly for sure.
Anyone who doesn't wait till then is either rich or desperate.

Well, you don't think we want to be making babies, do you?
Aren't we nerds? If we don't use the proper units, who will?
That was zen, this is tao.
Small, yet fully featured. (fnar-fnar)
The playable guitar (a Flying V) is 50 microns, 5 times bigger than the (unplayable) 10 micron 'strat' original.
Not that 50 microns isn't crazily small...
Perhaps this had an effect?
....It just smells funny.

You'd have thought that allofmp3.com would just hand over the dime.

I know what you mean about the interpretation- The plants growing in my basement can be smelt across the street....
That's where the strengths/weaknesses come out.
