This is a prediction, not a curse. Depending on your model, be ready for the screen to to dark, the fan to quit, or your cat to pop the key caps off. Forewarned is for...uh..something.
HP/Compaqs are probably the worst computers on the market today. I don't know why anybody would buy one. Horrible quality control and service, no XP drivers for any of the newer units...UGH! Lenovos are probably my favorites if for no other reason than the mouse "track point" nub thingy and they're still easily available with XP. I hope they tinker with smaller price tags some day.
If the pitot tubes are blocked, the sensor will think that the aircraft is moving at 0 knots and will DIVE IT. Since it still does not know the speed, it will continue to dive it faster and faster until stress ripped the plane apart.
You mean like this? Or like this? This is why partial panel training and a little understanding of basic physics is so critical. Pilots get confused too. The DC-10 in Iowa was controlled by the guy working the throttles. Control input was completely futile. As was an Airbus that was hit by a missile and lost all hydraulics in Iraq. Fly by wire sounds scary, but control system failures are much rarer now. Composites on the other hand...well that's another story.
Bullshit! You're trolling! You're just mad because you had to wait for them to lance that boil on your butt while each heart doctor that performs bypasses were doing two a day at about five hours each. And very good doctors also. One of those bypasses was on a friend who was diagnosed only a month before his operation. And that was only due to some extra tests on his liver. AND he got the full red carpet, with all the fancy equipment. Everything but a private room after getting out of intensive care. You have not a clue how much an American HMO would be fighting to pay for any of it. Plenty of Americans are dying from that MRSA that you're babbling about too. Probably a lot higher percentage than Brits. Nice try, pal. But hey, the mods are with ya.

You got the wrong damn plane! Who you think you're tryin' to fool by showing a damn simulator?! You work for Airbus or something?

The PATRIOT act severely limited this and it was primary a republican-enacted law.
Yeah, if you want to ignore Lieberman's part.
While democrats have more or less opposed these things.
In the senate? Precisely one. Whoop de doo!
...parent poster only used his middle name as a form of feeble ad hominem.
Probably so. We used to use "Milhous" back in the day, way before its true meaning became apparent in the 90s
Here's you chance without breaking the law!
Do NOT assume anything!
