I had a teacher once who ran ARCNET over a section of barbed-wire fence, just to prove it would work. It worked for about a week until he got bored of it and took it apart, even working through a rainstorm (that made it drop some packets though)
This isn't so much due to modernization or computerization, but due to the fact that the auto manufacturers nowadays try to design in a certain "allowable" percentage of failures, so as to cause the car to require work, which generates income for them. (Unless you go to an independent mechanic, which is why they're trying to get legislation to keep independent shops from working on your car.)
And what about those of us whose skillsets were devalued by all the MCSEs and MCSAs claiming to have the same skills when they really don't know the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground without Google and FAQ sites?
I remember something about TK50 being readable in modern DLT drives... I wasn't much into the VAX side of things, I stuck to the PDP-10 people. They were more fun to be around than the stuffy corporate types.
Because, since the amount of work done by an instruction on one processor differs from the amount done by the same instruction on another processor, it was a rather _Meaningless _Indication of _Processor _Speed.
Well, if the telco delivers broadband internet, they get nothing except revenue from sales. Not enough money to worry about.
If the telephone company delivers television, however, that means ADVERTISING REVENUE!
Obviously that is hot stuff!
Thus, the telcos will jump through their assholes getting tv-over-wire to work and cash in on the advertising dollars before the competition does, and the system will go live in a great hurry (at great expense).
You're talking about STCs for modification of the aircraft. That only applies to equipment actually INSTALLED in the aircraft - Radios, weather radar, GPSes, mufflers, anti-icing systems, etc. Nothing in the FAR governs passenger-carried electronics except for 91.21 which gives commercial carriers the right to regulate what passengers bring aboard the aircraft. FAR 91.21 *USED* to have provisions like you are describing, but they were removed in the 90s.
This rule is from the FCC, not the FAA!

Cell Phones In The Air?
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I am a student pilot, and nowhere in the FAR does it say anything about cellphones. This rule is from the FCC, not the FAA. The closest the FAA has is FAR 91.21 which gives part 91 carriers the right to decide who can use what aboard their aircraft.
Again, give credit where credit is due: This is the FCC's rule, not the FAA's.
Yeah, because we all need our God-given right to discriminate based on sexual orientation. It's their own fault for being fags! If they weren't faggots, God wouldn't hate them, and we wouldn't hate them. Why does everyone blame the white people for discrimination when it's plain to see the fault lies with the fags? It's just like how women complain that their husbands abuse them when it's sure as shooting she didn't bring the beer when she was told. Everyone wants to assume the problem lies with white people. Next I bet you'll start saying it was wrong for us to invade Iraq and Afghanistan and kill all those godless heathen ragheads.
Of course they're being predatory! In case you haven't noticed, all successful businesses nowadays got that way by being crafy and predatory and eradicating their competition. It's how you get ahead in life - You destroy the competition, either by killing them outright or beating them into submission/irrelevancy. (Example - Microsoft vs. Apple. Apple's not dead, but they sure are irrelevant to the mass PC market.)
In America, you can be SUED for basically anything. You can sue me for having grey eyes, and the fact that my eyes are blue won't stop you until the case gets to court (or before a judge who can throw your case out). Suing people is easy.
CHARGING people with a crime is a different ball of wax.

Or port 80 incoming?
(I'm dancing away my posting delay, moving my fingers so the post might work, I'm kinda like Linus, but not in a productive way...)
Can these things see-and-avoid other air traffic, or does this come with a permanent TFR?
(click, click, typetypetype, click) Done and done!

Who cares? In China, even installing the software is considered subversive and a crime.

Second time around, it's dupe.
Third time around, it's TRIPE.
GREAT IDEA!
You don't have to be running Steam if you aren't running HL. Turn off it's autostart and exit it when you exit HL. Concerns addressed.

Yes, you CAN be sued!
