What most people don't realize is that the usage ban on electronics is NOT based on signals interference. Regulators don't want you using devices because take-off and landing is the most dangerous time of the flight – highest risk of crashing or massive turbulence.
If you're paying attention to some device, and the flight has a huge dip from turbulence, *you need your wits about you* to react in the best interest of your safety (and possibly the safety of your children).
Historically, this kind of info was deemed to be (itself) a danger to the safety of the flight cabin – since if people knew these were the high-risk times, then a) any small danger could mentally be inflated and someone could throw a riot (hysteria), or b) someone looking to cause a problem would realize that this is the best time to make danger.
Did you ever hear that there was any health consideration? - meaning that maybe it would be bad for you, like crisco / hydrogenated oil, because it too would have a higher melting point than much of the body temperature, and therefore clog-up the body channels
I once had a quick-link to a paper on the topic – but there is a fringe of geologists that speculate how water could from from liberated oxygen and hydrogen deep within the mantle. Basically, the earth 'sweating' water from the core, outward.
It hard to imagine (statistically) that all of earth's water... such a huge volume, was from icy balls (comets) striking the planet.....
If SMS, BBM, and FB blocked messaging when a phone was traveling on a road then lots of the problem could go away. Road GPS routes can be determined without much difficultly at the network level, and data like from the UAE shows that it will save lives.
Only audio interfaces should be permissible for drivers. I can safely use the phone with hands free voice dial and a headset while driving. I slow or pull over if it's business and I need to focus heavily on the discussion. Otherwise, I'm just sending notes or scheduling tasks. An audio UI for email nav, dictation, and TTS would be a killer killer app. no one will make it, though, except the big email providers because every other business model is DOA. Google, why you no do shit people want?
You think that's bad? Imagine when camera pics are all meta-labeled with GPS data AND compass bearing, allowing for GigaPan and others to build semi-seamless, time-segmented, 3D maps of the world. MMOs will be someplace called 'civic infrastructure.'
I think few people today get what social media really is.......
Take in full measure as well that the world's oldest system of stretching, Yoga, was a practice that helped one shed the physical form and enter nirvana entirely (complete obliteration). One could posit that stretching isn't about making an enduring physical form.
Agreed that, for those with regular exposure, cutting the perchlorate is a good idea...... let's just not pass off these low-end fireworks for the more intermittent ~ and memorable ~ celebrations. If you're seeing a fireworks show every night because of your job or your wealth then you don't need the tops.
Let's not ruin fireworks displays for everyone by lessening the impact caused by extravagance or military need....and as someone said below, we need the good stuff to scare away the yearly spirits.....;)
And, good sir, regardless of how eloquent your arguments, they could be a well-placed stratagem element in a campaign whose purpose is to play part in creating a larger advantage
We operate relative to N Korea because the dictatory there is irrational, and so will not act in a predictable manner. It makes many actions volatile. Hussein was not irrational; mean, perhaps, but not irrational. One of the best ways for a dictator to avoid invasion is to be irrational - but you have to genuinely be irrational. If one's bluff can be figured out then you're usually twice as screwed. Generally, rational people won't act irrational, as it is destabilizing. The real tricks are when someone is generally rational, but has irrational triggers. AFAIK that was some of the root difficultly with the Cold War.
KSR Vs. Teleflex changes lots of things, as it tights up what is an 'obvious' patent. Lots of the whining happening in this thread is due to people not realizing the system has begun to change.
It brings up an interesting tangent about 'how long it takes somethign to realize its dead.'
I'm objectionable to a completely abandonmen of IP, as many seem to call for. Information wants to be free, but not orphaned. Those involved in seeing a thing have a responsibility to rearing it, just like with children. 'Commnistically' orphaned knowledge woudl go schizophrenic before it could become Real Wisdom.

I don't think anyone considering the safety of human lives (in the air) can properly be considered a wet blanket

The real question is whether the Slashdot crew will finally have the dot.dot domain?
Why so silent? ;>
Nice job, agent.
Anyone who can read and research knows that there exists lots of corroboration, when looking at the timeline of information.
incoming warheads, too? Or is the laster too weak? (officially)

Perhaps then polar bears are now converting back to cartesian bears with the Global Thermal coordinate transform
I love slashdot

Interesting that people still use it that much. It is so much bloat now that it's kind of a bust.

It already has small oceans.... If I could surf the oceans of Titan I'd have been born a surfer in this lifetime
thank you, that reference was appreciated
I'd been nebbing for some time for a satisfactory perspective on what 'adiabatic' means. Community like htis is why /. is so cool.
