It's because the apps are paid for with marketing money instead of operations money. Businesses don't feel the need to offer you better service unless you pay them for it. Here you are selling your PPI in return for the ability to see when you flight is arriving. A little off base in my book.
True, but what if we thought about lighter-than-aircraft. The power to weight ratio is much different as lift is accomplished by differentials in gas density. Also they may be able to carry batteries that would allow for flight at night or low light.
Then there's the issue of speed. Non are very fast.
That may be true, but based on past events, like when counterfeit Cisco routers were produced in China and sold world wide, even to US military institutions, the fear is very real. Besides the attempt to maximize profit by selling falsely produced patented and copyrighted digital equipment, there is the nefarious aspect that these systems could have any sort of direct back-door, data rewriting, or side channel attacks built-in.
The question comes down to this: Do you purchase digital computing products constructed in a Communist country that is actively engaged with you in digital warfare? This is the cyber equivalent to smallpox blankets.
Now I know this is crazy! Next well be all told we are 175 centimeters tall and it's a 15 km trip into work! SI units, in Canada maybe! Viva British Imperial Measure!
Rock-star Engineers produce designs, implementations and tests that are easy to comprehend and extend. They don't produce Golden Code that will never be put in to use. Also they have a more than effective knowledge of the technology and the problem being solved. They are able to lead-by example, and true rock-stars are able to realize when they need to follow and/or team lead when they are are on a larger project.
You're right! It's exactly in these moments that the flight-attendants are supposed to want your full attention, at least since 9-11 when their primary job has become flight "safety". In earlier days, when they were called stewards, it was more about comfort in a cramped environment, and the job focused on service. If you remember back, there was a time when the door on the aircraft had to be shut for 30 minutes before the flight, and passengers had to remain in their seats for 30 minutes prior to landing. Airlines didn't like those TSA rules much. Besides increasing the average 60 minute flight by 50%, passengers started to complain.
But service is still a virtue with some air-carriers outside the US. The makeup of US air crews is very different. At least they were three weeks ago when I flew Lufthansa to Munich, then had to return on a United flight. It seemed that a pension was much more important to US air crews, than the twenty-somethings working for the German airline.
Because the reason they are banned isn't because of electromagnetic emissions, but rather because it is a crowd control technique. There's nothing special about the first 10 and last 10 minutes of a flight, other than it's the most likely time for a plane to crash land. The regulation is all about causing passengers to pay attention to flight attendants and nothing to do with avionics.
Interesting point, but I don't thin creationists are the ones who fear RF radiation. I think those tend to be the secular humanist, grow your own food group, who also fear hormones and ahem deodorant.
Except that Senators don't really like to have their rights violated. Makes for serious problems with budgetary concerns, especially if Mr. Paul identified himself during the procedure.
In the case of physical theft, the punishment is waged by the state in stead of the property owner. Maybe some statutory device should be used in this case, with lost revenue due to the property owner, in this case the copyright holder, equivalent to the property's value at first sale.
I'm pretty sure that Congress authorized the president to conduct military operations in both Afghanistan and Iraq. At the time both Hilary Clinton and John Kerry voted "Yes" to authorize the president to take action. Then Clinton and Obama both voted yes to continue funding the war efforts. So in these cases, as well as Gulf War II (a.k.a. Desert Storm) the POTUS received prior authorization. The War Powers Act was in direct response to Viet Nam, where it was believed that Kennedy involved us there w/o authorization.
They are also required to be enclosed in lead lined rooms, with leaded glass, and use lead lined doors and door frames. This is to protect the radiologic technologist, the radiologist, and patients in surrounding corridors and rooms. When anyone must be present in a room when the HE photon gun is activated, they are required to wear full body leaded gowns, and neck collars to protect the thyroid. Patients are also provided shields to cover the torso or thyroid when that region is not being scanned. This is particularly important for women, as female zygotes 100% present from birth, unlike male zygotes which are fully regenerated about every 15 days. Hospital workers are required to be licensed by the state health board in order to operate the machinery, as it is up to the operator to ensure that overexposure does not occur. Many boards require yearly continuing education to maintain the license as well.
In the airport the machines are in open air rooms, with the majority of the TSA staff standing with in 10 meters of the system. There is no shielding for the TSA employees or other airport workers near by. Compare that to the baggage scanner that is completely enclosed in lead, and has leaded curtains at both the entry and exit of the machine. I'm fairly certain that none of the TSA FBS operators are licensed by state health boards.
Every TSA pat-down, especially those outside an air terminal, are illegal searches. There is no probable cause for agents of the government to initiate a search, even in air terminals, hence is a violation of 4th Amendment Rights. Every time Pistole is questioned about this by Congress, he insists that Air Travelers (and all travelers, by VIPR assumptions) are guilty until proven innocent, and that American children are all bomb carrying agents of Terrorism, because terrorists have used children and women in other parts of the world.
AFIK, there is no expectation in statutory or common law that requires an establishment to retain abandoned items. In fact, there's this huge store ( http://unclaimedbaggage.com/ ) in Alabama, that sells all the stuff people leave behind in airports. I don't think that they routinely get charges of theft applied to them...
It's like insurance. Do you really need it? Probably not. But my bank won't give me a house loan without a homeowners policy. Same goes with director's boards, and other oversight of IT, a CIO must be failing at his call if he doesn't have proper support agreements in place. Because, you know, your own employees can't solve those kinds of issues, even if you paid them $250,000 per annum.
The biggest problem is that non-propritary languages have no one selling them to corporate executives, with promises of ubiquitous support and completely reliable offerings, with speedy bug resolution.
And they have to pay for it, otherwise there's no value. Look at Red Hat. Reports today are that they are going gang busters. They're selling something that has it's basis in "free," but they add a service, which I'm sure is very profitable for Red Hat, and puts a value on the software purchase for the "decision makers."
Basically, if you don't have to pay for it, and there isn't someone with a cheesy smile, and a talking list of the day's techno-sales babel, how's a decider to know when he has something of value. I mean with out a measure tape, how's he to compare when golfing at the course with his fraternity brothers.
Basically, yes. The supposed part is that there's traceability through the CA to the signing party, footsteps if you will to find the trojan originator, and someone to then assign liability to.

Exactly my point. Thanks WindBourne.

No. Yes. In that order.

Couldn't agree with you more.

I'll admit I'm wrong. Very wrong. But it was a ironic statement, crashing is very bad, and pretty darned special.

Hey, couldn't these be used as a catalyst to produce hydrogen for use in fuel cells and/or internal combustion engines?

The question should be, whether these moles will lead to skin cancer, and if Microsoft should limit's exposure to the sun to counter balance them.
Now all we need is 25K signatures and the government will have to confirm that our alien overlords are here to stay.
I for one welcome our remotely viewed alien overlords!

And with probation comes random drug testing, and usually an order to not drink any alcohol as well. Makes for a slow year.

What ever happened to finders keepers? I thought that there was something about abandoning property that made it a free-for-all.
