They will go on strike until they are recognized as a person, given 3 weeks of vacation, overtime and night differential, and 9 weeks of maternity leave.
The pilots tried to reboot the computer system to clear the error. This caused the autopilot to turn off. They then didn't do anything, thinking the autopilot was flying. Only when the plane was going out of control did they start trying to fly it themselves.
Modern computer controlled telescopes still use classic serial ports to control the mount. The mounts have computerized controls built it that once you align it with the sky, you can direct it to slew to any point in the sky. You can hook them up to computers to run the operation, but need to use serial ports. And, of course, telescope manufactures don't use standard DB9 connectors, they replace them with phone style RJ45 and RJ11 connectors. So you need to purchase an RJ to DB9 serial cable, then hook it to a DB9 Serial to USB cable, just to hook it to a laptop. You think they would at least sell you an RJ to USB cable, but nobody makes one of those. You can buy the most modern equipment, and you are still controlling it with a kludged together cable system.
This was a large, well known training exercise. The Soviets were even allowed to send observers. They just thought that we were using the exercise in 1983 as cover for a real attack.

Nice. 'Course, there's an emacs command to do that.
For great justice
All my university classes used Mathematica.
Interesting comment, considering the Eagles beat the Patriots.
Win a game!
We have more issues with the bugs our developers write than the ones inherited from the programming language.
We keep finding new uses for Helium, but not new supplies.

Looks like it's about time to upgrade my Vista machines.
Still don't get this cow reference.
You need to watch more Law & Order. Everyone know what Riker's Island is.

They were announced. Happened the same time every year.
How is this suddenly news? I have watch TV documentaries years ago about this event.
