I don't disagree, mostly. However, they had better check with the people who were paid to think before they go ahead and do something contrary to what they were instructed to do, just because they thought the instructions weren't right.
Then, yes, you politely explain to them that they are supposed to do it that way and please just do.
While there are any number of things that you could (in hindsight) have done to the design to ensure that this probably wouldn't happen, the best (and simplest) would have been just making sure that the assembly line workers assembled it as designed.
lol... troll? That wasn't troll, it was the harsh reality.
Assembly line workers are human robots. They're the sort of worker you expect to be replaced by a robot as soon as the company thinks it's financially viable to invest the capital in acquiring robots to replace them.
As such, if they can't follow simple instructions they'll be replaced by someone who can.
Assembly line work is mind-numbingly boring: install one bolt, over and over, for an entire run of the line, entire shift, or possibly for entire weeks or even months until they come out with a new version of the product. Assembly line workers don't have a half-dozen different things to keep track of... they have one thing, and they damn well better do it correctly.
Thinking is not one of their job duties. They are paid to do what they're told, not to think. If they put the bolt in the way they think it goes instead of they way they were told it goes, they are not a suitable assembly line worker - full stop.
What if the police had found the information, done nothing (it is only information) and a year he blew up a building and then gunned down the first responders?
With what? Information?
Somewhere between point A and point B, your hypothetical guy obviously got his hands on the physical guns and/or materials to build the bombs. That is when he should be arrested.
All U.S. scheduled and non-scheduled (charter) airlines must adhere to FAA, DOT, TSA and other regulatory agenciesâ(TM) requirements governing safety, security, and consumer protection.
Security screening is under the jurisdiction of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Passengers on charter flights must adhere to the same TSA requirements for all flights operating within or to and from the United States.
They'd just have to change a policy, not a law. They've already paved the way with all the laws necessary for them to do it.
Not even to mention that your snarky statement is ironic considering you got your replies transposed with respect to the quotations to which they applied (planes to trains and vice versa), I'd be interested in knowing how you intend to get internet on a typical plane between 0 and 10,000 feet.
I think his confusion was how an online file locker is different than a physical file locker.
The only difference I can see is that only one person at a time can have access to a physical CD. Of course, that person can copy the contents and pass the CD along to someone else. Have you ever heard of a sneakernet?
Some countries even put a royalty charge on blank DVDs and CDs because some of them will (will, not just could) be used to pirate media.
Yo dawg, we herd u liek malicious code, so we put some malicious code in your malicious code so you can ruin your computer while you ruin your computer by installing Symantec's software.
Also, have a few yo-yo's to go with all those u's: yo, yo. Yo ho ho. Bottle of rum optional. That was exactly 5, did you count them? Just the number you needed.
Well, it was a special deal - the tubes themselves were guaranteed to be seamless, and if she let them put just a few seams where the tubes joined, it was like getting 1/4 of the bike for free.
Yes they are. You can get "barcode" fonts in TrueType. You could read them perfectly well, but you'd probably need years of practice to become as proficient at reading them as you are at reading the Roman glyphs you're presently familiar with. But need I to remind you that you've had years of practice to become proficient at reading those too?
They're just as much "characters" as Braille, or the American Sign Language alphabet, or Morse Code, or hieroglyphics, or semaphores, or pictograms, or unfamiliar scripts that may just look like squiggly lines. They're just printed in a language that you're not familiar with.
I'm not so sure. I mean, the weather in the US is much milder than the Russian steppes, even though the Soviet Union had "a fuck-ton more space" and more population that Germany. I mean, once the industrial areas are captured exactly how was Kansas and Nebraska going to fight off the panzer divisions?
Gee, we got our tanks and planes over to Europe to fight the Germans, so how on earth would we manage to get them to the middle of Kansas or Nebraska?
Slashdot Mirror
Over 50% of "hispanics"/"latinos" are white.
So the questions that come to mind are,
1) How did this not happen during ground fueling? Smaller pipes I presume
My guess would be lower atmospheric pressure due to being a few thousand feet up while refueling in-flight.

It's called "detective work". Yes, I know... the dirty D-word.
This guy probably said it better than I could, so I won't try.
IANAL, but I believe, here in the US, pleading guilty is kind of like saying "Yeah, I did those things you are accusing me of."
IANALE(ither), but I believe, here in the US, pleading no contest isn't.
Also, in the UK, AFAICT, you can't plead "no contest".

very dangerous information that could have led to an explosive device being built
My god, I had no idea that pure information could spontaneously assemble itself into an explosive device!
Ah yes, of course it's that easy to avoid the Tairline Security Administration altogether.
Change the law so ALL flights require TSA checks. Even charter flights.
You say that as if it wasn't already true.

I'd still expect to get my property back (assuming it's not impounded as evidence).
And assuming it is, what then? Still expect to get it back? Ever?

So they're basically the same, but different. Good to know; I hope you'll keep sharing these insights.
"subliterate" (n): someone who knows only a subset of the English language. Example: you.
Here, enlarge that subset a little.

Hence why nobody except myself knows more than one of the following: /. user ID (any of them), real identity.
