  3. Antennas the reason, really? on Cellphones Really Are Not As Good As They Were 10 Years Ago At Making Calls (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Antennas, the reason? Cellphone communications have always been expensive. At the beginning of the mobile phone era, the subscribers fee had to cover the cost of the new infrastructure etc... Then, 15 years later, while the number of subscribers exploded, the monthly cost to use a cellphone is still high. Sure, there were some technological improvements, but did the carriers largely upgrade their infrastructure to cope with all that traffic? Or did they make sure to keep the milk cow alive?

    Never say never. I bet this could happen as it has tremendous advantages. But the world of aviation evolves slowly, and this will be tested a lot before flying commercially. 2020 maybe.

    Flying with incompetent pilots, the cabin may automatically detach, open a bunch of parachutes and land smoothly somewhere. Makes sense.

    All of them have been addresses. Below is sample code of what PHP7 looks like

    It depends if all systems are remotely attackable, even if only http/ssh is opened, for instance. Basically if you are using SCTP, instead of TCP/UDP you may be at risk. But not so many applications are using that protocol.
