"while many skeptics and scientists deny the existence of these spiritual phenomena, the experiences of millions of people indicate that they do take place."
Sorry, the plural of "anecdote" is not "data"
Take all those experiences and add specificity and controls and maybe we can talk.
The 17th Amendment allowed for the popular election of US Senators. Prior to that they were appointed by state legislatures with all the attendant cronyism and corruption so popular in Gilded Age politics.
While inverted pyramids are an interesting design, what're you gonna do with the million cubic feet of dirt from the hole you have to dig to build the damn thing?

Nuke it from orbit.... it's the only way to be sure {grin}
That's two hours active use. But when you're going secure in the field it's because the shit has hit the fan and you need to weigh getting the mission done vs. possible leaks. Dunno why these things eat batteries. Maybe the crypto ASICs are particularly hungry?
SME-PED will bring SIPRNet to your hip, but the thing's a brick (35 mm thick and weighs half a kilo!)....and don't get me started on the two hour battery life.
Looks like a Blackberry, but it's about an inch and a half thick and weighs about a pound. Never before have I seen such hatred heaped upon an inanimate object by its user base.
Well.. the maximum recommended dose for ibuprofen is 1200mg. OD's aren't _too_ dangerous, usually limiting themselves to stomach upset and nosebleeds. In massive overdoses (greater than100mg/kg of body weight), it whacks your blood potassium levels, causing arrhythmia and possible cardiac arrest. Massive OD's also toast your kidneys to a delicate crunch. {grin}
The above was not intended to be representative of any particular computer language; it's pseudocode. I would imagine that any code for an embedded system like a car computer would be in some flavour of machine code.
Regardless of the language the idea is the same: if you have ANY brake input, throttle input should be ignored.
Seriously, it's capitalism, let the companies stand/fall on their own merits, if you help them, then they should pay you, and if you don't, then all you are promoting is communism, except with corporations in charge, instead of government.
If the corporations are in charge, the word you're looking for is "fascism."
...but the right gets so upset when you drop the "F" bomb on them.
Nah, the real sadness is anonymous cowards sitting in their mother's basements continuing to write diatribes against the folks trying to clean up a mess three decades in the making while defending the Gordon Gekko types who got us into it.
Rush/O'Reilly/Beck/Savage et al. are well paid liars somewhat akin to a circus clown hired by an amusement park owner after a roller coaster crash to distract the public from noticing that ride inspection wasn't all it should be.

"The only "data" you provide is your experience, where are your statistics? It's perfectly possible that slippyblade speaks from experience too."
What? This is Slashdot, where "data" is the plural of "anecdote."

Well... the forgotten or stolen problem is solved by the fact that you can do a remote wipe with a few keystrokes at the admin console.

Funny, but there are no evergreen trees in the middle east. How did that end up in the bible?
Ever hear of "The Cedars of Lebanon?"
Help put the "Sol" back in solstice!
It was Solis Iinvictus LONG before it was "Christmas"

I always thought it stood for "Big Piece of Sh..... never mind

because "X-rays" is such an UGLY word....
Repeat after me: "Star Trek is NOT a documentary!"
the right, especially the religious right, that excels at propogating misinformation.
Perhaps because religion left or right excels at propagating misinformation?
I guess capitalism is a great idea until you run out of other people's labour and resources, huh?
If the greasemonkey script is illegal, wouldn't popup blockers also be a no-no under the same line of thinking?

Is it just me or could this be corrected with one line of code?
if brake_input > 0 then accelerator_output=0
no psychologically sound person would do that.
I think you're missing the point; no psychologically sound person would do that, but we're talking about an alien here.
you'd pull a "I can't go on without you" moment?
Um... did we see the same movie? Ol' Chris bugged out with the mother ship and may or may not be back... we don't know. (Sequel anyone?)
It's just like XBox -- only you die.
