Well language is vastly overrated. Look how different they are, all because somebody couldn't agree how to describe something. Maybe language is the cause of war, and not religion and politics. It's all because nobody understands each other. God is right here, right now. We're swimming in it. *How do you describe water to a fish?*
Reeducation in the 80s, to help forget the past.. Now most are conditioned to accept it and even advocate it. And we really got nothing but a repainted facade from the Church committee. It also had no effect on the elections. Swapping between democrats and republicans was the same charade back then as it is now. The game can last indefinitely, as long as people believe there's a future.
Yet 95% of the politicians still won reelection and will again in two years. His effect domestically is temporary and trivial. And like with the 'torture' report, we find little disapproval of spying or torture, less than 50% in the media polls, and about 1% in the actual elections. The country you (and I) grew up in was little different, just a little more discreet about exposing their real feelings in public. Bleh, reliving events of 40 years ago, this is a remake... Nothing changed then either, out of one war, into the next.. *Not that I care anymore, I don't, it's just something to talk about besides the weather and my arthritis.*
I can't help but think that synchronous flight controls a la Boeing jets would have at least partially mitigated this problem...
That, and a working angle of attack indicator would be most prudent to have on board. However, the accident is a result of a very common error, where a kind of 'tunnel vision' develops, and nobody remembers to fly the plane.
Yes, there is an Airworthiness Directive (caution:pdf) about that little issue. For some some reason, Airbus won't give the pilots an angle of attack indicator either. It is one of the most basic and important things to know when flying a fixed wing aircraft.
Have you forgotten your basic stick and rudder? Angle of attack is everything. It applies to the biguns as much as any Piper Cub out there. Personally, nothing would make me feel more secure than having a direct readout, as opposed to deducing it from airspeed and density and wing loading. If I keep the wing below a specific angle of attack, I can be certain it will not stall regardless the speed or altitude, just want to keep enough of both to reach the runway:-)
I doubt there is any readily available encryption that can protect you at this point.
No, there isn't. I've been saying that for years (to no effect of course), and the entire subject has become tiresome, aside from the object of cracking theirs:-)
Privacy is a fantasy. Everything going through their wire is being recorded.
Basically they get out of the way, not "can't be overridden".
If you read the AD, the only method of getting them 'out of the way' is to disable (turn off) all but one of them, and even that doesn't look like a guarantee.
Because Airbus makes shitty Angle Of Attack probes (caution:pdf). And if I remember right, they don't even provide an indicator for the pilots! Angle of attack is one of the most basic and most important things to know.
Oh, did you mean computer nerds? Well, unfortunately Airbus (and probably the newest Boeings) is controlled by a computer that can't be overridden when it suffers from bad data input.
Me? insinuate? Ohhhh no, never! It's just an observation of what invariably happens when people reelect corrupt politicians to 40 year careers in the expectation they will bring home some serious pork. It's what keeps the Great American Boondoggle alive. As far as democracies go we have nothing new here. The whole ordeal has become quite ordinary.

See? Even (or especially) that is meaningless...
Then what will they do?
What they always have been doing, drinking Dr. Pepper and playing minesweeper...
Regardless, it still requires consensus, coercion, and/or conditioning. The meaning is still created/defined by man.
Precisely!
It'd be an interesting place for a bar fight... and you'd have lots of kindling afterwards
But hey, the word has a meaning.
Only by consensus...

You gotta have just a little sympathy...

Well, if the market is saturated, all they have to do is make the goods a little less, uh, 'durable'. Problem solved.

The bankers make no money if nobody borrows from them.
In this business, you have to ask that question?
That's how the banks make their money
This really is nothing special.
Depends on what the shoe is made of...

You know, if it wasn't for the Slashdot boycott of Sony, the take would be at least double.
