These 2 posts reek of ignorance. First of all, commercial airliners dont do 1000mph, thats over the speed of sound. Second, while GPS may take 30 seconds to get a lock (no idea if this is true), the GPS would undoubtedly be always online. Third, they will obviously have redundant backup hardware onboard that is also always active in case the primary and secondary fail. Not only that, but its not like aircraft will all of a sudden fly right next to eachother, there will clearly be an ample buffer , and the system will work in conjunction with the current RADAR system until it proves itself.
Sounds to me like they just need to hire competent people to do their work. I know some VERY smart people who could probably design these systems in their sleep in a year easy. I doubt they would even charge over 50 mil.
These systems are so expensive to design/implement cause of all the idiots out there, not cause they have to be.
And yeah, NASA probably does the best job cause they tend to hire intelligent people.
I disagree. People will not look past race and gender. Why? Because people are uneducated and unaccepting. Sure, some of the intelligent people can and will, but the majority of the population wont. I see it all the time.
Now, whether this election is determined by race/gender independent of other issues, this wont be the case. It will however be a very prominent issue.

Your right, my family has ordered 2 new laptops in the last few weeks and both with XP even though it cost $70 more to stick with it.
Yet another step towards a Gattaca future.

This lawsuit was really inevitable. The stupidity, and greed in America is simply astonishing. There is really no way Nintendo can lose this.
