... if you're facing serious charges, but I sure don't want to be the one who gets to test it. Plea bargains usually save the court and prosecution some effort and the defendant some time, but if you're likely to get convicted, pleading down is usually a win/win. Now if you're innocent, plead so and go to trial- jury or judge.
I'd prefer they hacked rather than not, and I think we can all agree "the internets" do indeed have "fight the power" power. Will this hack change anything? Maybe not but it costs little except the effort and inaction is ineffective...
Regardless of how you feel about that word, or any word for that matter, your opinions are meaningless on their own. Any word can emerge as a neologism and as for the term "Islamist", it appears in the Oxford English Dictionary and is used commonly enough that nobody is going to "stop using it please." Perhaps you are transferring your animosity toward the group mentioned with the term itself. I can understand that...
The big issue is that, while a battery management system can shut the battery down at low charge, the battery will eventually go to zero volts anyway- unless charged. At $40K to fix, this is completely unworkable. IMO Tesla must redesign their battery to be fail safe- that is, if its gets to zero charge, some simpler scheme must exist than total replacement. What have the other manufacturers implemented?
Perhaps the same reason folks buy WP7 devices instead of Android or iOS ones.
Also, don't discount the fact that Microsoft could license ARM technology and design their own CPUs fabbed at TSMC or Global Foundries. Apple did it. This would reduce their dependance on, and increase their influence over x86/64 chip makers. (And they already have a hardware division.)
In keeping with established tradition, my company has still not provided the promised EFB (electronic flight bag). we have been told literally "any day now" since 2004. Many studies, prototypes and vendors have been examined, but finally, as of October 2011, a commitment was made to procure the iPad. The new promise was November, then mid-December. And still... no device. Current issue is regulatory and infrastructural.
At any rate, the advantage is mostly one of convenience. For someone with near vision issues, it will be very helpful. But the real gain will be that the paper won't have any more coffee stains on them. What it will not provide is depiction of aircraft position, but that may actually be good as you'd want one source for that- on-board navigation.
Some of the relevant issues:
*Who's responsible for equipment (if stolen, broken, not charged, etc.)
*Can we use it below 10000' (not trivial to FAA)
*How will data be updated (do I provide access to server or company)
*can the device be incorporated as "aircraft permanent equipment"
*can I watch porn on it or jailbreak/root it (of course not)
*can they monitor what they do with it (not unless required by law, but they certainly will...)
While Steve Appleton had considerable experience, he, indeed may not fit the category of "a pilot who's got way above average stick & rudder skills and WAY FAR SUPER-DUPER above average judgmental abilities"-not that I ever flew with him. Old saying: "Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect." Sometimes no matter what all you do, its not enough...
Nonetheless, as referenced here:Extra Flugzeugrau GMBH EA 300/L Air Crash He may have been somewhat of a "hotdog", implying carelessness.
I was thinking another rich guy got killed playing with dangerous toys. It appears, however, that he was an accomplished aviator. Nonetheless, experimental aircraft are usually untested and this might be an example of production shortcuts. Takeoff is where it happens- max thrust, low to the ground, low energy...
Boise is mostly flat to the southeast with rising terrain and flat with steady terrain to the northwest- maybe he should have gone straight ahead. Single engine means always be ready to become a glider. We'll know in a year when the NTSB is finished.
Takes money to buy toys and fund exciting hobbies...
Of all the air racers and auto racers and such, I'm guessing only about 10% are there because of exceptional talent. The rest are just well funded!
To clarify: the EP-3 is an ELINT version of the venerable Lockheed P-3 Orion (based on the L-188 Electra) as seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_EP-3/. I have about 1000 hours in "Charlie" models The E-8 is indeed a 707 variant and the Navy has a version designated the E-6.
Nonetheless I get your point about "spy planes"- and I trust there are many of those flying about...
Your point should be obvious to all, but the sad part is there are still enough active voters in America to amount to about half of the votes going to the Republican candidate for President. They hear that candidate say that Obama is going to raise their taxes, he's against "small" business. he's raising the deficit (not stimulating the economy), He's godless and wants to take away my guns...
Who's the "bookrunner"? Part of the wealthy elite that own not only the Republicans, but all of Congress.
Would you happen to know if any of it is closed. I thought it was somewhat similar to OSX- BSD Darwin with Aqua as an interface. BeOS was all closed but partially POSIX compatible- what a shame it never went open. I just figured Palm had to have something in mind when they bought the remains of the company.
Somehow it all seems cursed. Assuming it has vestigial BeOS bits in it, the history includes having been shunned on Apple hardware, not bought out by Apple, then bankrupted by Microsoft's anticompetititve practices, firesold to Palm who evolved too late to make a difference, acquired with great promise by HP who failed to capitalize and finally made a rash decision in thinking it has no value. Can't it get a break from all the turmoil?
Your right- the system is not that far gone, but I only stated that there were similarities- not that OWS is about to burn down Congress and Wall Street. We have an "aristocracy" of politicians beholden to lobbyists and donors and a "monarchy" of extreme wealth and power. And there are people starving in America who've sold their belongings, and those who cant pay their bills or get health care or keep their home or get an education. The current economic situation was caused by the dysfunction of the government and the manipulation by the plutocracy- yet they get bailed out by the rest of us and go on back to business as usual. Also, it's unfair to compare the standard of living with the 20's or 19th century with the destitute of today- humanity advances continually and the flushing toilets of 1900 are the iPhones of today. The standard of living inflates in the same way as currency does. The system is not perfect, but we are not Libya or Indonesia and we can and should do much better.
Yea right, those evil union people. Management would never tell the employees during a bankruptcy that if they take bigger pay cuts, they can keep their pensions. And then promptly renege by terminating the pensions after acquiring the concessions. Watch Mr. Sprayregen say so himself:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/retirement/
Who needs to punch you in the nose with power like that.
Precisely my point. Ozzie airline labor has a tool that we don't have in America. Management here uses the RLA to draw out negotiations over a longer period without the threat of strike. Why pay now when they can pay much later or not at all with no perceivable cost to them. Labor is commonly portrayed as greedy and management as the victim. I would hope that laypeople keep an open mind and see management tactics for what they are- stall, shift blame and deceive.
See my previous posts on this and other topics for a sense of my mindset.
It is so tragically unfortunate that this point of view continues. (Granted from an AC). Unions have flaws but their contributions throughout history far outweigh the graft and corruption. A little history lesson is in order. Spend a few minutes goggling for labor's positive contributions before spouting elitist crap.
Oh, I see. You want to scab. Go right ahead and do it. Let's all race to the bottom. You will soon have no middle class to support your egalitarian view of society with that point of view- good luck with that. I suppose you think America is doing great with the concentration of wealth at the top and the evolving plutocracy. Ever hear of the French Revolution? Some similarities in our current economic situation. Government is bought and paid for and the country is run by plutocrats. It's your country too, American or Australian, so be careful what you ask for. Twenty years down this current road and these western nations will be the shits and you and I will be offered penny jobs to clean it up.
You are right sir! Regrettably, however, it will be spun otherwise by politicians and right wing media. This all began with Joyce accusing the pilots of being too expensive for the company to succeed. Ozzie courts sided with business. I tire of hearing "it has to be fair" when management speaks of pay and benefits for employees- what's fair about their compensation! Why do they get to decide their own pay and accuse labor of greed. Who do they answer to- themselves and directors (not on 99% side) and institutional investors (not on 99% side). It's stacked against us and that's what everyone is protesting about....rant, rant, rant... I know...

Yes crews aren't dainty, but I've been carrying mine for over a year with no problems.
As for dainty connectors, lots of things in the cockpit are dainty- if a problem arises, it will be addressed for longevity.
Readability in bright light is a concern, but mostly for CRTs.
As for "Made for iPad", most aviation planning products are simple browser based apps and internet is planned for almost all legacy carriers.
Cannot attest for the durability, but our current testing reveals no long term issues (at least a year in testing)...
