Billy Joel, Dire Straits and mid eighties Peter Gabriel (as opposed to his more edgy late seventies solo work) were very much adult oriented pop of their day, which makes them oldies today, 25-30 years later. I would start to feel old if the oldies station started to play INXS and Eurythmics though.
and it is very expensive, so a lot of airlines, especially budget airlines, don't have category 3 landing systems...
In my experience with budget airlines Easyjet (in Europe) and AirAsia (in South East Asia), they more likely to use autoland systems than the bigger airlines, since they fly mostly short-haul services with quick turnarounds, and pilots are making more trips. The aircraft they fly, while basically appointed inside the cabin with no-frills service you have to pay extra for, are more modern than a lot of major full-service airlines, as the budget airlines are a lot more sensitive to fuel economy and don't have any underutilization to cater for the unscheduled maintenance that would come with an older fleet. Maybe US budget airlines are doing things differently in this respect.
It is not used during take off or landing, and although either could be handled by computer, I'm not aware of any passenger aircraft that has such a fly by wire system. All of them are on the drawing board.
A lot of A320 flights land on autopilot. The pilots have to do a certain number of manual landings to maintain their license, which makes it not really an option for trans-pacific flights, but when the pilot is flying backwards and forwards between two close airports 4 times a day, and the airports are major enough to have the necessary equipment for completely auto landings, quite a few are landed on autopilot. The telltale signs are when the plane makes quite a steep descent and if you have a window seat you brace yourself for a big bump that never comes, as the computer puts on the power at just the right time so you hardly feel the wheels touch the ground.
I think this is the real problem with Silicon Valley. When it started out, the advantage Silicon Valley had over San Francisco was that it was cheap. Now it has lost that advantage, and on top of that it is a boring sprawl of suburbia and industrial parks. It has hung on for the past 20 years purely through momentum - the fact that so many tech companies are headquartered there.
It used to be the case that non-server versions of Windows had limits on simultaneous connections in the TCPIP stack, which could affect web browser benchmark performance.
"No, that's not an actual opening. Our computer just automatically posts those every so often to solicit new business."
It's widely known that recruitment agents do this, but very rare for them to admit to it like that since it is illegal. Usually they will at least try to lead you on for a bit before telling you that you were not what the employer was looking for (despite a perfect match between your resume and the advertisement).
I don't know about Australia, but most countries do not share the same enthusiasm for legislation by rider that the US has. Most likely Australia follows British law, where any part of a bill that is not covered by the long form title of the bill must be excluded from the act when it is passed by parliament.
Most of all, we are sorry that an initiative we truly care about - youth unemployment - has been negatively received.
Gosh, that Turner Barr sure is a nasty individual, picking on poor defenseless unemployed youth.... wait, Adecco is a multinational corporation, why are they trying to deflect the guilt here?
The patent is not about clickable links. They mention in the abstract that there was already prior art for that (Netscape when used as a Usenet newsreader). It is about inline content from a remote server (that is downloaded and displayed without user interaction). The MIME headers introduced by RFC2110 allowed a MIME part to refer to a remote location rather than being included in the mail message.
Email clients should not be covered by this claim, as email involves third and potentially fourth computers in between the first and second (Email servers). That claim is describing a peer to peer method of communication, as there are only two computers involved, and if you consider that the first computer may be a web server and the single application on the second computer a web browser, there would have been sufficient prior art in 1995 to invalidate that claim. So what are the other claims? Do any extend the patent to cover communication via servers (required to cover email or MMS)? Do any extend the patent in a way that goes beyond the prior art of a web browser?
The Doctrine of Laches does apply to patents. Basically this patent has had widespread "infringement" since before it was approved, due to the fact that it was obvious to anyone skilled in the art at the time. And only now in the final moments before it expires do they start selectively enforcing it against a competitor that Microsoft wants to make go away.
RFC2110, published in March 1997 specifies the standard interoperable way to do this (in section 4.1). Given the time that RFCs take to get through the system, the probability that someone was doing this before Nokia filed the patent is very high.
I agree, except then you risk differences between the code in the release branch and the deployment.
I really don't see how either direction is better than the other in this respect. Either there are differences or there are not. Going from branch to trunk instead of trunk to branch doesn't change that.
My understanding of why they didn't want to do the A350 was because between the A320, A330, and A340, all the service areas covered by this A350 were already covered, and now they have a whole new production line which will only pull sales away from their already-established production lines.
Right. And the reason they went ahead is that its better to have your own product cannibalizing sales of your already-established products than it is for your competitor to be doing it while you are standing still.

Note also that all these rights apply only to "Freemen". Common serfs were granted no rights by the Magna Carta.

I'm pretty sure I was in faster physical and mental decline in my 20's with the shit I put my body through every weekend.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but as a 41 year old, I consider Billy Joel to be music my Mum would listen to.
Or, was a bit high and descending quickly, reduced the descent rate shortly before landing, but stalled just after.
We're talking an intercontinental flight here. I don't think Asiana keeps two separate fleets, one for flights to America and one for Europe.

You're missing Episodes 1, 2, 3 and the remakes of 4, 5 and 6.

Where exactly are these "newer mobile phone markets" where Bada has been very successful?
The markets in developing countries I'm aware of fall into the following camps:

Try starting here. YMMV depending on jurisdiction.
Why would you hide R&D activity in a non-profit, when it is probably one of the biggest source of tax deductions that a company in this industry has?

MS's extensions were to make it easier to write code that only ran on Windows.
