I thought we were supposed to complain about job ads with ridiculous lists of required skills. And if you need a college degree to do PC administration tasks, your OS is in bad shape.
The web is still designed for desktops and are hard to use on the small screens. I have bluetooth and pockets to solve the size/weight issue. My blackberry seems to be getting smaller and I don't have a good solution for old eyes and fat fingers.
"Google used a trick" and not an "exploit". Because by this logic virus creation is OK as well. You can't force a computer to accept a virus, you just "trick" it. Or are those security holes are really just features for accessing the machine. You don't think it is too much to expect each user to understand every line of machine code shoveled at them? Really? Didn't really think that one through before posting did ya.
Wrong. You can trick the FMS on commercial airliners if you can spoof GPS.
There is no expectation that a class A sensor would lie and not report itself failed. FMS position is simply IRS position with GPS based drift correction applied. If the GPS says its HIL is good, the GPS position is used rather than radio position.
But tricking the pilot and ATC would be a challenge. Heading comes directly from the IRS unmolested and changes would be noticed right on the ND. And you would probably get a wild wind values calculated that would be also be noticed. And a lot of extraneous maneuvering on a straight leg would be noticed. And would have to spoof over a large area as those things don't turn very fast.
Airlines are chronically unable to make profit, Aircraft manufacturers and suppliers don't do anything for free.
This would have to be a government mandated system to ever be realized. Aviation is very safe in general and this is not the best place for governments to invest if the goal is to save the most lives per dollar spent.

It takes a long time to get down from 30,000 feet unless you turn the plane into a lawn dart like the valuejet crash.
Teens are immature and therefor stupid and shortsighted. Humans do not live by instinct alone and must be taught how to survive in society. Adults are expected to have the experience to know things like "faster crashes harder" or "babies are expensive" or what "expensive" really means for that matter. Kids can be very very smart but do not think they are just little adults who can or will make good choices for themselves. These "spy tools" just enable parents let their kids try out their wings with a safety net. Sure teens may want privacy and to stand on their own, but until they are ready it is the parent's job to be ready to catch them when they inevitably fall and build them up again. And teenagers, as always, will resent their parent for doing it and post mantras like the one above, until they have teens of their own and the responsibility that goes with it. In case you have not heard, raising young adults is not all rainbows and unicorns. Where do you think your parents got their gray hair and why does your dad drink so much? Obi-wan does not hate you Anakin Skywalker.
He was replying to a comment that implied it would be just fine for urbanites and made some good points on issues that make it "useless" for city dwellers. The availability of 200v outlets in the parking garage or on the street would seem to be a show stopper for most living in an apartment building.
Your external battery should last longer if you get a cig lighter adapter rather than using the inverter to convert from DC to AC then back to DC with the laptop power brick. The inverter and brick make quite a bit of heat.
The article clearly states he will be charging a fee. Isn't victim notification part of these agencies jobs? We have to pay twice for police protection now?
My Ford F150 has no plug wires. A coil sits right on top of each plug.
Unless you are running rich (reprogrammed the computer) or rings are shot (low oil level for some time or bad air filter) you should not get fouling.
Modern platinum plugs are good for 100,000+ miles.
High-end plugs like the splitfire (not the one in the picture) are supposed to have a bigger spark for better performance/efficiency but I haven't seen an independent test showing significant improvement so I suspect that either they don't make a bigger spark or a spark bigger than that of a regular platinum plugs does not result in performance gains.
It sounds like a great experiment assuming the price is reasonable, but I think the odds are long in it replacing the spark plug.
The moon must be a boring place to cancel the final missions after the rockets were built, delete the tapes and not even think of going back for 40 years. It's only interesting again as a jumping off point for Mars and maybe the H3 stuff.
We are ready to junk the ISS and are just finishing it now.
Hubble had enough bling-bling to force NASA to get more use out of it.
Mars landers nearly lost funding for the team that drives them around after the official 90 day mission.
I bet we forget about the manned Mars mission 2 months after launch.
Personally, I would rather the funding go to hundreds of unmanned probes and actually learn something rather than spend it all on a pie in the sky manned mission that already seems to lack enough interest to trigger significant funding.

Let us know when the criminals have turned in their guns and the government respects our constitution.

100,000 mile gasoline expense $13,863 at 22 mpg with $3.05/gal.
100,000 mile diesel expense $10,612, at 31 mpg with $3.29/gal.
So at 100,000 miles, I am still down $2,749 by choosing the diesel option.
I used the city MPG and today's fuel price for Phoenix USA (GasBuddy) and edmunds for car msrp.

Because they agreed to free trade in return for open access to markets in the WTO.
America has done well without ever having the best grades in math and science .
And only have one return statement and declare all your variables in one place with comments...in alphabetical order.

If you are stuck on a bridge in 70 degree weather you might want to try rolling down the window.

Your protest "must be submitted prior to the date the application was published".
This would be an unknown unknown. I suspect they don't get many protests.
There should be a way to pay a finder's fee for prior art during the approval process. I seems like it takes the slashdot crowd about 5 minutes.
The applicant's competitors should be able to make a case as well.
The applicant would, of course, have an opportunity for rebuttal.
Landing on Mars will be easy compared to landing on Jupiter, so by that logic we should go to Jupiter.
The article clearly states he will be charging a fee.
Isn't victim notification part of these agencies jobs?
We have to pay twice for police protection now?
Why fight crime when you can profit from it?
I wonder if I can sue this asshat here in the US?
It doesn't, but it might help get us to work a little more efficiently than today if the new techs don't take off.
Think of it as part of a multi-pronged attack on emissions. Try everything.
I think the feds forced emission related codes to be standardized.
Yes, it seems like the car makers force a 6 year obsolescence cycle any way they can.

variable used before set
But type to get them to admit their software made a mistake when it happens to your account and it will be like talking to a brick.
