For most aircraft, boarding takes place through door 2L, which is behind first class and at the middle of the aircraft - boarding first class first does not block gangways for later boarders.
Most airlines board via door 2L, not door 1L, so boarding the first X number of rows still allows you to board passengers to the rear of the aircraft without any blockages occurring.
I mean, Microsoft _invented_ the notion that you should be paid for the _same_ work over and over and over and over again. Only they profited from that. And if you are not a Microsoft shill, you will _have_ to agree that this was unethical._ Well, firstly copyright law is much older than Microsoft, so no - they did not invent that notion, and I don't even think they were the first software company to take advantage of it either.
Secondly, I am not a Microsoft 'shill' (but you will find me defending them from time to time), and I don't see why such a thing just absolutely HAS to be classed as unethical.
An excellent example is the 1930s Bodyline Series between England and Australia - resulted in several Australian players being badly injured and the tactic is certainly frowned upon today (but not illegal).
Out of interest, and on the subject of graphics performance in new OSes - would I have had a valid complaint against Apple for the same back in 2005?
Early January 2005 - Jobs announced the Mac Mini, the latest Mac in their range.
Beginning of Feb 2005 - I buy my Mac Mini
April 2005 - Tiger is released, Mac Mini is Tiger capable
April 2005 - I install Tiger, only to find out that Apples 2 and a half month old 'latest and greatest addition to the Mac range' is not Core Image compatible.
They don't afford such premises - the Kent facility is a separate business called 'The Bunker' specialising in physically secure data centre facilities and is open to anyone who can pay the hosting charges there, and has been running since 2004. A ready made cold war bunker is a cheap alternative to a custom made building elsewhere - it was designed to be secure from the outset, and was available cheap when the MoD (Ministry of Defence) sold off many of its old assets over the past two decades.
What ten thousand (or let's just say "significant") combinations?
How many different CPU manufacturers do you have? Three common ones - Intel, AMD and VIa.
How many different GPU manufacturers? Hmm, off the top of my head? Nvidia, ATI, SiS, Intel, Matrox...
Now, how many different chips from each? Several dozen at least.
How many mainboard chipsets?...
Again, off the top of my head - Intel, Via, AMD, Nvidia, SiS, plus loads of no name Tiawanese ones I have seen in the past 2 years.
And how many different chipsets? Intel alone has several dozen that they have released over the past 5 years....
If you manage to extrapolate a thousand combinations out of those, without going back more than, say, 5 years (because who the heck has enough time on his hands to install Vista on a machine this old?), you have been very, very creative.
why don't you become an editor and help it along? It's not hard at all. The problem is, you are all too often outnumbered by either the idiots without a clue, or the idiots with an agenda - late last year I spent significant amount of time collating and presenting a decent set of information on a Wikipedia article (regarding civilian aircraft orders), and included all the relevant information, correctly presented and correlated. 24 hours later it had been reverted to the original, incorrect (it included potential orders in the totals rather than just firm orders), set of information which removed a fairly significant extra set of info I had provided.
So what did I do? I reverted. And of course it got reverted back and I got a warning.
The article still shows completely incorrect information to this day. I solved my own personal issue by building my own website to track this information - problem solved for me and those who were interested in the correct information. Wikipedia lost out.
The package management system only works if the software vendors take part in it - are you going to guarantee that happening? Also, a package management system does nothing to fix the 'inefficient bloatware' situation with much software.
I am doing a lot of training at the moment (paid for by the company) and I can say this now - out of the 150+ courses my training vendor puts on (international vendor), the top 5 courses are a mix of SharePoint 2007 and.Net with the vendor having fully booked courses in each every single week of the year - Java is in the distant teens, and C/C++ lower than that. Microsoft aren't losing a grip on anything.
Just because academia aren't teaching doesn't mean business doesn't need.
Sorry, there is no such thing as a 'basic human right' - every right afforded to you is artificial, otherwise the only rights you would have are those you can protect yourself. Your right to property ownership (physical or otherwise) is artificial, you right to free speech is artificial, your right to life is artificial - all artificial limitations that society has placed on themselves in order to attempt to better the over all experience.
If everyone were installing the kitchen sink on Linux, it too, would have a dozen programs trying to run updates.
You should actually try using Linux.
You'll be amazed how trouble free updating ALL of your installed software is.
It'd give you a bit more credibility here as well.
Uhm, its only trouble free because all of the software you are using is in the package management system - what if these Windows software vendors come over to Linux and bring their old habits with them, like custom updaters etc? Whats to stop them doing that? How amazingly trouble free will updating ALL your software be then?
Sorry, but you don't seem to understand the bigger picture. And yes, I have 'actually used Linux'. I 'actually use Linux' extensively each day. I 'actively develop on Linux' as well. And no, I won't use it for my desktop.
Why is it an artificial limitation? Did Apple in some way have to remove some preexisting code or block some preexisting method to do what you are asking?
The 'basic' version of Sharepoint - Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 - is 'free', in that you only need a licensed copy of MS Windows Server 2003 to run it on, and the necessary CALs. Other than that, WSS 3.0 is a free download from the Microsoft site - oh, and its actually quite feature rich as well (yes, MOSS 2007 is more heavily rich, but hey).
But then they bought it, including the sorucecode copyright - therefore my observations earlier are entirely valid, as the GPL does not stand for them in this case.
Webkit is LGPL, Apache is under the Apache license, Samba is under the GPL and CUPS (sourcecode copyright, company name and other tangibles) was purchased by Apple a year ago this month (as well as hiring the main developer).
Out of the four items you mention, only one is GPL. You could have done much better to suggest such examples as GCC et al.
The great thing about the BSD license, is that when people do contribute back (and they do, even big companies like Apple), you know its because they *want* to, not because they *have* to.
Even so... IMHO this still opens the door to more Orwellian legislation, and provides further evidence of how industry pwnes our government.
Sounds like you are too young (or too old) to remember the 1984 (apt year eh?) National Minimum Drinking Age Act which saw the US Federal Government force each state to raise the minimum drinking age to 21....... or face retaliation by way of reducing Federal aid for state highways. Hows that for Orwellian?
For both engines to have not responded to either the autothrottle or manual throttle movements, we are looking at a software issue in either the FADEC or the EMC.
1) there's an adapter for airline seat jacks so you don't need that second battery Not all airline seats have them, and although SeatGuru is pretty good, it doesn't have up to date information on every airline and every aircraft layout.
2) theres a Ethernet jack dongle for the USB so you can plug it to a hard line
3) there's a mini multiple USB hub so you can put in plenty of things More things to carry around, more things to forget at a hotel, more things to break.
My biggest bugbear with the Air is - £1199.00 and Apple couldn't have the decency to throw in an external USB DVD drive.

How precisely would canceling copyrights suddenly enable interoperability - the source code wouldn't magically appear on someones desk.

BA does not operate any 777-300 aircraft.
- The autothrottle system commanded an increase in thrust from the engines which did not respond
- The autothrottle demanded further increases in thrust again with no results
- The PIC commanded an increase in thrust via movement of the throttles, with no result
- The aircraft slowed and subsequently lost height
