Technology is not a panacea. How about (bullet|blast)proof doors between the cockpit and passenger compartment? If no hijacker can get into the cockpit, they can't take over the flight.
so do YOU want to tell little jimmy that he can not visit nice mister pilot and watch all the blinking lights and buttons, that actually beeing the one and only reason he did board the plane ??

hey, me too..! but it sounded too futurama-ish to be true..!
while the page was loading i was horrified about the implications it would bring. i DID puke in a lot of taxis around the world, but they never REALLY left the ground. this could be a disturbing new experience..!:)

i will not mix religion with physics, regardless of how interesting it is and how convincing religious literature can be. viewpoints on the subject "nature of the universe" are as numerous as there are men on earth, and i will not be the one to judge which of them are right and which are not.
as for me, i will stick to a completely scientific approach to this question, partly, because i dislike getting "soft facts" (e.g. emotion, impression, etc.) mixed up in my concepts, partly because it just works for me and explains everything i have wondered about so far.
maybe i will try some of the literature you recommended, but first let me finish "blood music"... =)
oh... there's a bigger theological aspct in your point of view, than i expected... i have thought about reading the koran some time ago, but never got me through to do it...
i think, there is plenty of knowledge in it, as well as there is in the bible... anyway, it is completely useless to the majority of "modern" humans, because nearly all of it is written in metaphors and parables... too much for mr. ordinary, i think...
it is a pity to lose(it will get lost) its important content(how to live a proper, healthy, natural, satisfying life) just because the "medium" doesn't appeal anymore...
After all, that's all matter is anyway, energy in a particular configuration.
maybe... or the other way round?
Maybe they just pick who they want to talk to.
i agree heartily to what you say, but you have to set a viewpoint to get a perspective... you are always on the right side of argument when you say "everything's relative", but you don't get anywhere with it...
so: let them(incredibly inaccurate) pick whatever they want to... it's natural to search for familiar things in an unknown place.
don't get me wrong, i am doing the same thing all the time. but this is what i have learned so far...
I agree with that. If reading the story here at/. makes you feel the warmth of rising anger, I recommend continuing with Neal Stephensons "Zodiac". It is a both very entertaining and informative novel that deals with the subject of PCBs as a threat to the environment. It is still one of my favourites.
