OSX would be doable, since Darwin (its kernel) is open-source (at least some versions). Windows would be nearly impossible to "poke around in" and come up with a map like this. You need source-code level access for this kind of detail.
There are quite a few academic institutions that have source code access to the Windows code base - just get one of them to do it.
Yes, we pilots do have to be in control in order to correctly intercept the ILS - we may not have our hands on the controls, and the autopilot may indeed be engaged, but we are feeding corrections to the autopilot systems so that it may correctly intercept the ILS. No autoland system is certified for descent from cruise to land itself. Even the Burans automated landing (and indeed the Shuttles) require input from the ground to do.
I know its unusual here on Slashdot, but I think maybe from time to time its a good idea to get information from someone that actually uses the system. Oh, and Mythbusters is not a good place to tell professionals where to go for information.
Guess what ILS stands for - Instrumented Landing System. Guess what your article covers - Instrument Landing Systems. Guess what I use semi-regularly - Instrument Landing Systems.
I would much rather have the engines remotely shut down or idled on a plane in flight, offering at least a chance at an emergency landing, than to have the plane summarily blown out of the sky.
I don't know that much about aerodynamics, but I suspect at 30,000FT that might result in an uncontrolled decent.
I suggest you check out the stories of the 'Gimli Glider' and Air Transat Flight 236 - both well documented cases of aircraft losing all engines at or near cruise height, and resulting in a successful landing of the aircraft.
It would be more logical to just force the plane into autopilot and bring her in on her own power to the nearest secure location. As it passenger planes don't really "need" a pilot these days and most pilots just are there in case something went wrong and to of course set the autopilot.
No, a pilot has to be in control to successfully intercept the ILS signal, the autopilot currently cannot do that on its own - thus there is no way to bring an aircraft down from cruise to land without help from the flight deck.
Until the 'baby' can survive separation from its host, it is nothing more than a glorified parasite (ooh, watch the replies I get for *that*) - the 'baby' benefits from drawing sustenance from its host, the mother, and the mother is affected detrimentally.
Sorry, but only when the 'baby' can survive separation should it ever be considered in its own right - and this is why there are limits on late term abortion.
It is every soldiers job to question the legal validity of their orders - 'I was just following orders' has not been an acceptable excuse for actions for many years now.
You do realise that you can mount drives on folders in XP? And by using stuff like DFS you can reduce the number of drive letters you need for network drives anyway?
Why should any country deliberately import criminals? Because thats what this person is. Don't you have enough criminals of your own?
And just because hes still in education does not make him a kid. He knew he had to be on his best behaviour because of his immigration status, he knew he was breaking laws when he did what he did, he knew that because of his age he was no longer considered a minor.
Hes 18, in my country thats the age of majority - hes no longer a 'kid'. The fact that he is an immigrant means he should be on his best behaviour at all times anyway, countries are not in the business of importing problems.
Actually, in a lot of cases neither of that is true - there are documented cases where Israeli troops have destroyed community irrigation and drinking water wells, and also in June 2006 Israel destroyed the Al Nusirat power station. Neither of which are 'yours'.
But thats OK, when it comes to Israel and the Palestinian Occupied Territories, its perfectly acceptable to punish 1.5 million people in Gaza for the actions of a few.
I think there is only one side here that is inflicting anything that could be called "horrors". Exploding buses, pizza parlors and discotheques filled with children are "horrors". Blowing up a Passover Seder meal in a hotel is a "horror". Checkpoints, closures and targeted killings of armed terrorist leaders are not my idea of a cup of tea, but they are not "horrors". How about collective punishment by cutting off water and power supplies to entire populations?
Yes you do, the 38 years quoted in the article is particularly inflammatory as its the maximum he could get for all of his charges back to back. He won't get the maximum on any convictions (people rarely do), and he almost certainly won't get back-to-back sentencing, his terms will be concurrent. If convicted, he will most likely get anything from a suspended sentence to a couple of years.
The 'Customer is always right' is a mantra that was sold to customers to make them believe they are always in control - in actuality, a customer is very rarely right when it comes to your business.
Because its not about 'Us vs Government' in this case, its about 'Us vs Us' - this wasn't a crime against the nation or government, it was a crime that has the potential to reduce other peoples efforts at education.
Generally knighthoods and other honours are given out based on recommendations by ministers of the current government, the queen actually has very little say in the matter - she controls the Order of the Garter completely however.
So if I guess your ssh password, I'm good to go, since your sshd said 'yes'? How about your SMTP server accepting my spam? Is that also fair game? What about exploits giving me access to your system?

Agreed - Powershell is much much better.

This *may* be wrong - black holes are predicted to release Hawking Radiation.
Works perfectly fine here - problem with your browser?
This activity would have been much harder to impossible with closed source code.
I'd say the system worked as advertised here.
Yup, because Microsoft certainly never have exploits such as these discovered...Why should any country deliberately import criminals? Because thats what this person is. Don't you have enough criminals of your own?

And who ruined it? He did. The guy only has himself to blame.

Weird, the MSDN sites (even the subscription download ones) work perfectly fine for me in Firefox.

He seemed to accomplish that himself - not that I disagree that jail time will harden him however.

No, but you need permission from the Queen before requiring someone else to call you Sir.

oldbar doesnt even make it close, it just polishes the turd to make it *look* like the old bar.
