To be fair, I remember losing a day's worth of work when I started using CVS. It taught me an important lesson - archive the whole local tree before I try doing something for the first time. I think I thought that I committed all the work successfully, then decided to pull a branch, didn't read the message properly and overwrote all the uncommitted work - fuck me was I pissed off.
I also set up a couple of test projects when I started using Git, and played around with branching, tagging, merging, etc and testing what would happen when I got merge conflicts.
Out of interest, what on earth did you do to lose work? Any time I've tried doing something reckless it has given me a big warning saying "I won't do that - you have unstaged files, etc"
I use Git for Windows - it's pretty simple, but does everything you need, adds itself into Explorer so you have all the options right there in context menus. It also has a bash shell environment.
I get the idea that people don't elect politicians because they will stand for what you want. People elect politicians because they are less against what you want than the other guy. You're basically voting for the least worst person.
I heard an interesting interview with an Egyptian woman who was protesting against the Muslim Brotherhood. She said they voted for them (as did many of her peers) as they came across as being fairly progressive. It was only after they got into power that she realised what a mistake the country had made. They then looked at other countries where the MB had gained power and saw the the same pattern. She said if the country had realised what the MB actually were, they wouldn't have come to power. Basically, the MB are like every political group - they will lie through their teeth to get your support and then shit on you.
As an aside, since when are primaries a prerequisite for democracy? I can understand the electoral college system in the US - my understanding is that without it, people from rural areas would never adequate representation. But not many countries have it.
What information about the UK spying on Argentina was actually released? All I heard was the UK did it, and I'd struggle to find somebody who seriously thought they weren't doing so in the first place. The idea that the UK only did this between 2006 and 2011 is laughable - I'd expect the government to make as much effort to know whether it's just bluster from Argentina for exactly the reasons you detailed.
Um, ignore that last comment, I completely misread what you said - facepalm.
However, I based the cost on using satellite 100% of the time, and I've realised that actual cost could be 50% (2c per second), and is likely to come down in the future. If you're needing to send 6kB/s per aircraft HF obviously is not the way to go, but it doesn't mean that the bandwidth isn't available.
I didn't think of that in this case, however I've come across this in the past. Internet on Irish Ferries is (was? - it's been a year) via satellite (the provider is in Norway when I did a whois on the public IP) even when within range of land or when docked. I couldn't understand why their AP didn't route depending on whether it was within range of a 3g cell.
Rolls Royce already do this with their engines - if you have the right contract your ground crew will be alerted that there - for example - are too many metallic particles in a gearbox, without the pilots ever knowing. I think it's done because RR have maintenance contracts and catching issues early saves money (and looks good). I'm sure GE and others do the same.
There's probably a myriad of reasons. Building a standard takes some time - manufacturers will probably have their own propriety methods and will want theirs to be the standard as it will cost them less. Systems will have to be certified. Airlines will have to pay for this equipment, plus the time and money to train technicians.
I can see this happening sooner than expected after the disappearance of MH370 and this crash. We're now getting to (or already have arrived at) the stage that the aircraft an becoming more reliable than the aircrew. Don't get me wrong, BA Flight 36 and US-1549 have show that pilots are better than any computer at dealing with unexpected situation.
Yes - those numbers were for satellite data, but I forgot to reference it (and where I got it). However, I found some costs here - 25GB for $77,826 ($3.11 per MB) - keep in mind they're prepaid, so an airline will get lower costs.
Only one thing I disagree with - bandwidth costs. The FDR [apparently] records at about 6kB/s (I'm trying to find a source to back that up), so that's 6kB/s per aircraft in satellite data costs. There can be up to 11,000 aircraft flying at any one time, so that totals 66MB/s of bandwidth required globally. I don't believe lack of bandwidth is a factor.
Bandwidth is apparently between 5 and 7 USD per MB, so about 4c per second. In comparison, and A320 consumes about 665 gallons of fuel per hour, equating to about 29c per second. It's not an insignificant increase in cost. Along with that, the cost of equipment, certification, etc is why we haven't seen it yet, though I believe there are working groups.
There is also the issue that it will always be possible for the flight crew to pull the breaker on the transmitter, much like they can pull the breaker on the CVR (and probably the FDR), so that doesn't solve the issue when it comes to a malicious agent.
You've pretty much described the CVR and FDR - both record on a relatively short (30 minute) loop and tend to be accessed only after an accident. They don't pull them every flight and use them to make a Christmas party blooper reel.
1. He already was a pilot. Where does 30% come from? 2. How did he break up with Maria W one day before the crash - he was already back with his long term on-off girlfriend. Who the hell is Sabine? 3. What the hell is social terrorism?
Not really. The control panel signals that the door can be opened. The cabin crew would be familiar with the visual and audible cues, and in that situation would be highly unlikely to miss them.
BT's one bill website won't allow you to download the bill (a zip file) unless you use IE. All it has is a list of all your bills, but for some reason they use some fucked up JavaScript to start the download via a link, rather than using the actual href. Idiots.
Where in the cockpit? This photo looks like it's taken from (or near) the jump seat - the bulkhead is literally behind you. Modern cockpits on short haul aircraft do not have spare space in them.
Why should there be a character limit on passwords? Providing you're hashing them then storing them just needs a constant width field. If you're dealing with html inputs, then the default is not to have a maxlength attribute and if you're POSTing the form data then you're unlikely to hit any limits.
I imagine we'll being seeing this policy across EU airlines pretty damn quickly. I also guarantee that all flight crew members will be looking at where the door mechanism is on the flight deck and how to use it. As you say, it would take very little time to open the door - we're talking about real life here, it's unlikely that a single man will be able to knock out anyone in an instant, especially while sitting down.
There are some difficulties when it comes to scaling aircraft. Very simply: Lift = Air_density * Velocity^2 * Coeff_lift * Wing_Area / 2 Drag = Air_density * Velocity^2 * Coeff_drag * Wing_Area / 2 Coeff_drag = Parasite_drag + (Coeff_lift^2 / (PI * wing_span_efficiency * wing_aspect_ratio)) efficiency is a number in the order of 0.85 to 0.9
So, whilst you only have to increase wing area linearly with mass (or increase speed to the square root of mass), doubling your speed quadruples your drag, and doubling your lift quadruples your lift-induced drag.
I can't do the numbers at the moment, but it should be quite easy to determine scale at which an electrically powered aircraft is not longer possible (using current technology)
Myself and a friend came up with a solution slightly similar to outlaws - human rights points. When you are convicted of a crime a number of human (or constitutional) rights points are removed from (proportional to the crime) for a period. The criminal is required to decide which human rights they has to give up, and is therefore directly responsible for their sentence. Note that just because you've lost points, doesn't mean that people are free to attack your with repercussions.
A rapist might, for example, lose his right to being innocent unless proven guilty. He would have to prove that he was not guilty of rape. You don't lose the ability to defend yourself, just that the odds are now stacked against you.
Other losses: * Right to free speech * Right to bear arms (although I think that's already applied in some states) * Right to travel (ditto) * Right to bear children * Right to a state appointed attorney
Vaccinations stunted my growth - when I was a kid I was less than 5ft, now that I've stopped getting vaccinations I'm 5ft 11. Coincidence? I don't think so.
