Ahh yes. The joys of subcontractors. The braking system was not done by Boeing, but rather a subcontractor.
Anyways, I have had the opportunaty to work with the X37 team at Boeing. The landing is all automated. I've seen the simulations run on Suns at my work. cool stuff and congrats to the flight software folks.
California's economy would collapse because it produces nothing but bad movies and even worse wine
Obviously you know nothing about California. That state is the largest producer of food in USA by quite a bit. And as for the the wine, you must be a white zinfendel drinker. California wines are world renown. When France had the blight killing off it vineyards, where did they go to get cuttings to replant? California. Now, as an avid wine drinker, there are many good places to grow wine, and trying to pick the best is silly. Fifty years from now, great wine will grow all over the world. But California is a huge state with many types of climate. And great wine are made there. Napa Valley Stags Leap district is absolutely awesome.
Now the movie stuff may be true, but who cares, it seems that middle America sure watches all that reality TV crap.
You obviously have no clue the lengths the NASA contractors go to make safe spacecraft. The two shuttle disaster never had anything to do with the orbiter. It was always the add on stuff. Sure it was part of the whole package, but the contractor that made the orbiter did not make the external tanks and engines.
Out of curiosity -- would you prefer to fly JetBlue, or Aeroflot?
What a horrible example. What would you rather fly, SpaceX, the Shuttle, Soyuz, an Apollo circa 1972?
Another thought on this subject.... Since sex toys are by far used more by women, I kind of see this as an attack on a woman's sexuality. Every step the Religious Right takes seems to bring them closer and closer to some kind of Christian Shari`a law.
Men, on the other hand (no pun intended), have built in sex toys found at the end of each arm.
As for fans, luckily, the Ciscos haven't died, either. But if they did, on some, it would take just *one* fan to fail, and the unit would be toast. As a comparison, many of my servers have 6-14 fans, in redundant push-pull pairs. To make it better, if a fan dies, the rest of the fans SPEED UP to compensate.
In the Ciscos I have, if one fan fails, I just hot swap it. I have redundant power supplies as well that are also hot swappable. And as for longevity, 5 years is a minimum I would expect out of any enterprise level cisco gear.
And you also have to look at the turnaround time for a replacement. If I don't have a spare for each sitting on a shelf, I can drive three blocks and have a temporary replacement for the PC in twenty minutes - but of course, with the cost savings over a Cisco, you could have an entirely spare machine in place anyway, and still be far ahead in terms of money.
Why would you need a replacement for each of your devices? As long as you have one of each "thing" available, you can get by until the rep shows up with new hardware in under 4 hours.
And all of the Cisco bugs that have bitten people in the butt were an illusion, too.
If you have all these problems with Ciscos and others don't, what could be the difference between your situation and ours.... Oh yeah, it is YOU.
You're like the guys who tell me that I need to use a t3 connection to transport data from one side of their data room to the other because ethernet "isn't reliable". I ask them point-blank when the last time they had an ethernet failure was, and so far, they haven't been able to give me a single answer. Yes, occasionally, ethernet cards *do* fail. But so do t3 cards.
Wha wha WhaaT? I have never heard of such a guy. Is he like the bad analogy guy?
yeah but don't you see? A Cisco router is like an Etch-O-Sketch. After messing with them for a while, you have to turn 'em upside down and shake 'em up!!!
It is very common to use large Cisco switches with a routing module to handle corperate routing needs. As the GP mentioned, these switches have massive bandwidth on the backplane. No intel architecture can touch that. And more to the point, just where on the network are you going to put a box like that with suspect hardware (all intel) doing any significant routing? If your operation is a small place with small amounts of traffic, sure, this will work. If you need to do routing at Gb speeds and beyond, you need the real hardware. This is not like google where you can have 10 routers in parallel, thi sis the network.
yeah... it does.... Now you probably know where to find good food, but being there does not make you an expert on their political views, their security, etc. I don't claim such a thing, but I do defer to those whose business it is to know these things.
The UAE happens to be one of the most U.S. friendly countries in the Middle East.
You obviously know nothing about the UAE. Yes, they are concerned about money. Money can do almost anything there. There are huge arms dealers that operate openly. And the small fact thatthe US Coast Guard did not feel this was a good idea.
This deal is all about money for the Bush's buddies.
I'd say 'sympathy' but at least they seem not to be complacent sheep-like Americans
Typical non-US boob trying to play the moral high ground but instead shows nothing but extreme ignorance and bigotry. Of course you realize that to many people, Americans represent North and South America. And as far as sheep-like Americans of the USA kind, please don't tell me you are trying to imply that all USA folks are sheep, or even a significant majority. But of course if you actually did a little research, you wouldn't be ignorant, and thus you would not have made that comment.
So where are you from? I can tell it must be the center of enlightened thought.
Well, except for the fact that MSFT, Google, Apple, and Amazon need the telcos more than the telcos need them. By a wide margin -- and especially true for Google and Amazon (and eBay).
Isn't Google buying up lots of dark fiber? Maybe Google has already started the attck on the ISPs..
My point is that a long commute is not outside your control, unless you accept that you have no control over your life.
I still say bullocks to you. Sure, a long commute is certainly something anyone could get rid of by quiting. Face it, people are willing to sacrifice drive time to afford better housing, better schools for kids, safer neighborhood, etc. You act like it is a bad thing for someone to want something better. You think we should all live in a dump so we can have the pleasure of riding a bike to work. Life is not so simple. What if the homes near work is more expensive, should we all quit and find new jobs?
The solution is to either lower your expectation for housing, or get another job, not to act like the situation is outside your control.
Your really have no idea what you are talking about do you? Sure, he could pack his bags, move to middle America where the number one employer is WalMart and find a nice trailer park to raise his family, or he can get a good job in a city, buy a nice home in the suburbs, (housing in the city might not be a place to raise your kids) and deal with the drive. You are rather presumptuous yourself there thinking you know what is best for the GP.
Face it, we dont't what makes the universe expand/contract. We really don't know shite. All we can do is attempt to observe, and propose theories on those observations and try to falsify them. As we learn more, invent/discover better methods and devices for measurements, our understanding will evolve. I know this is basic stuff, but it seems many folks are forgetting this. We are mear children in our understanding of our universe.
When you are running around dodging bullets while spraying your own lead about, those ads can be overlooked very easily. Valve would not be where they are today without the thousands of game hosting sites. If these ads help to lower the costs of hosting games, then I think it would be a good thing cause it should result in more games being hosted.
Bottom line: No one's rights are being attacked. This is common sense.
No, what is common sense is that PARENTS should be responsible for what their kids play. Period. Laws to try and enforce parental responsibility are putrid on face value. Your examples of movies and magazines are industry enforced, not government enforced. Sheeesh, you must be new here to not have known that. If these types of laws are constitutional, (they're not), what is to stop the Government from passing laws about eating at MacDonalds. I bet that fast food is WAY more harmful to our children than video games.

arrr.. I get those red states all mixed up. They are all just as goofy as the next... Here is the Tennesse one.
Tennesse also is trying to ban sex toys.
Some people really need to mind their own business.....

Soooo, you are saying that the Coast Guard is both playing politics and is ignorant?
It would seem that maybe you are displaying a little bit of both those things as well.
It is very common to use large Cisco switches with a routing module to handle corperate routing needs. As the GP mentioned, these switches have massive bandwidth on the backplane. No intel architecture can touch that. And more to the point, just where on the network are you going to put a box like that with suspect hardware (all intel) doing any significant routing?

It seems your experience with Cisco has not been mine. Our stuff just works.
Hmm, then why did the US Coast Guard have a problem with the deal?
yeah... it does.... Now you probably know where to find good food, but being there does not make you an expert on their political views, their security, etc. I don't claim such a thing, but I do defer to those whose business it is to know these things.

That's just because anglo-saxons are too stupid to learn other languages.
OK PigPoker, what language should we all learn? French? Arabic?
bah, why am I responding to trolls today...

No such thing as bad publicity.
I don't know about that. How is SCO doing these days with all that free advertising we gave them?

Yawn.
Need more sleep? Maybe your commute is too long.
My point is that a long commute is not outside your control, unless you accept that you have no control over your life.
