Had this been a permanent failure of the air data computer, an airbus pilot has no way to override the aircraft's intentions and recover from the dive. An airbus pilot can only watch, as the airplane says, "No, really, I'm stalling, I have to hold the nose down and pick up airspeed!".
Uninformed poppycock.
Airbus aircraft can be switched to a mode called "Direct Law".
There have been aircraft accidents where an Airbus aircraft has crashed in situations where a Boeing aircraft would have been flyable by a human pilot.
No, there haven't.
Your citation is conspicuously absent.
And please don't troll with the Habsheim crash, which would have ended same (worse) if you tried the same insane stunt with a Boeing 737.
I can tell you the reasons I didn't buy it, after looking forward to it a lot:
* I already know Liberty City. The excitement of discovering a new city is half the point.
* Reviews agreed that the missions were bland. Yuck.
* The graphics are not appealing, even considering the limitations of the PSP.
Sub-standard warmed-over original GTA3? No thank you, I've got nicer things to do.
Luckily, Take Two are trying a second time. Here's to hoping!
The most famous algorithm is of course Shor's algorithm which allows factorizing large numbers in polynomial time, thus allowing to break public key encryption systems like PGP.
Please explain to me something. Shor's algorithm is O(sqrt(N)) when a conventional computer would be O(N) for factorization, is it not?
If so, why would PGP not be made safe again by roughly doubling the number of bits in the key, making the problem O(N^2) bigger?
Why do most slashdotters assume that just b/c you have an MBA you must be some evil hell bent individual?
This is the typical geek's (over-)reaction to their observation that the wider culture of MBAs does little or nothing to stop the excesses perpertrated by a number in their ranks.
I would enjoy seeing reports of people from the business management world excercising some public discussion amongst themselves of dubious stunts by members.
The unwillingess of MBA culture to engage in this type of self-correcting "maintenance of the profession" is resented by scientists and engineers who have seen much gain from critical discussion in their fields of work.
As a company specializing in doing work on existing games, how do you feel about starting to adapt (ie, "improve") games instead of simply porting them?
Short example: I was in total love with Transport Tycoon, until the very limited underlying world model started to irritate me bigtime. A train between two major cities would unload all of its passengers on some forsaken small stop in the middle, effectively running empty half the time.
Do you even think you could build a business out of working on such problems?

In that mode, the control surfaces correspond 1:1 with the stick.

SCO Reponse: Damn... now they're using free speech against us! What shall we do?
:-)
Same we do every night, McBride: claim that it's outside the U.S. Constitution!
