No. In no meaningful sense do they "live on". They are dead. You may not value your life, but I certainly value mine, and I will absolutely fight to protect it.
OK, there's a really, REALLY big difference in capabilities between a regional jet and a Cessna 172.
I am indeed familiar with the hubless air traffic control system. It will indeed be a useful development. Supposing that it will end airliners, on the other hand, seems a little silly.
Skycar has a neat engine, and I'll be interested if they can ever get to the point of doing a piloted, untethered flight.
Having said that, if you're seriously suggesting that vehicles like the Skycar are going to do much to replace commercial carriers, I don't think I agree at all.
"Small planes WILL replace large commercial airliners eventually"
If you say so.
"It's just a matter of time, engineering, and money."
I think you misspelled $$$MONEY$$$. For massive dollars, you can indeed have your own aircraft. It will be a fair long time before you're going to fly Portland, OR to Dallas, TX for less than $400 on a small aircraft.
Me? I plan on designing and building my own. Most people don't have the wherewithal to do that.
"That is unacceptable, and Microsoft has every reason to bash them over the head for it"
Microsoft? Bashing Red Hat over licensing? Wow. That's rich. I wonder where they find salesdroids with absolutely no ability whatsoever to think critically, so they can spout this stuff with a straight face.
My best friend never forgave me for pointing out the line on Trinitron monitors. The best part is, I almost had him convinced that there was a line on his 36" Wega picture tube. That was fun.
Slashdot Mirror
"the numbers in the UK have risen from 12% to 33%, in large part because of American fundamentalism"
OK, walk me through that little train of reasoning.
"The fact is that many ancient civilizations had thousands of years to work out facts."
Give me some examples, please.
Except in the movies, it's not easy to get a gas-powered car to explode. I'll take my chances with gasoline over 1000lbs of li-ion battery packs.
Um, so don't buy from Sony anymore?
Um, OK. They're still worm food.
"so in a sense they still live on"
No. In no meaningful sense do they "live on". They are dead. You may not value your life, but I certainly value mine, and I will absolutely fight to protect it.
Evolution says I win.
"New Hampshire or Oregon or New Jersey"
I don't know about New Hampshire or New Jersey, but there are plenty of rednecks in Oregon.
Perhaps for reasons similar to why a carpenter doesn't just have a tool named "tool" that just takes care of the gory details.
How do you get to any airport in the world without doing about a dozen things that are more dangerous than flying?
" I didn't make up the examples, the guy clearly gave this examples and he was the one that created it."
Wow. Not just an appeal to authority, but an appeal to an UNKNOWN authority. You're good at logical fallacies!
Use a headset. Or the speakerphone. Not very complicated.
Please, for the love of Dog, stop with the car analogies. They just. Don't. Work.

"First, by the time you need more than 4GB of RAM, you'll also need a faster processor"
Why?
"your laptop will obsolete in several other ways "
Well, it's a good thing we've got you to make these decisions for us.
"Most laptops only have 2 slots, so even if you did want to put more than 4GB in it, you couldn't."
And I'm certain that that will never, ever change.
What are you after here? Did a laptop with more than 4gb of RAM touch you in your bathing suit place?

OK, and this is different from the Republicans' strategy from 1994 how exactly?
It's politics as usual.
You really haven't thought this one through, have you?
Right, because nobody's ever been bitten in the ass by that kind of thinking before.
"Oh and if you truly believe everyone has the right to be free you should first be willing to grant that freedom to others right?"
Of course.
"Okay, grant me my freedom of killing you."
No, because that deprives me of my freedoms. What was your point again?
"Europeans usually don't fuck with other countries."
What history book have YOU been reading?
"As a result, I personally highly value the ability to see actions and events from both sides"
If you think an action or an event only has two sides, you are part of the problem.
"Windows CAN be safe enough for the average user if you use it right"
I belive the "use it right" part is precluded by the "average user" part.
Your assertion might have some value, if you define "grass roots campaign" as "heavily funded and supported by Lieberman's political opponents", sure.
I don't define "grass roots campaign" that way.
Who are these "buddies" that you refer to?
