Where is the proof that the canister contained any active ingredients? My bet would be that the Ceo knew that it was only a saline solution and he injected him self to get some media attention.
By the looks of it, it seems they have a small problem. The system should at least be able to quickly determine that the subject is a SKELETON!!
Maybe they should add a camera?:)
I think its a good comment.
What if you thought it was cool that you could hack the entertainment system. But your hacks caused the system to overheat and set the plane on fire.
Scary, you are better of just keeping you fingers away or wait until the plane has landed if you must must hack it.

I donâ(TM)t think the 500 mph (800 km/h = 222.2 m/s) is the speed of the shuttle. I would imagine it could have been traveling at several thousand miles pr hour.
I do indeed think it was the relative velocity of the foam and the shuttle at the time of impact. Letâ(TM)s do some of the head calculations
1. The shuttle maintains a more or less constant acceleration, for comfort reasons it is kept below 3g. (that is 29.5 m/s^2).
2. A piece of foam loosens from the shuttle main tank and starts falling towards the ground with 1g. (Iâ(TM)m ignoring any kind of wind drag)
3. The foam is know accelerating 4g (39.3 m/s^2), relative to the shuttle.
This means that the foam only needed to be free falling for 5.7 sec. before it would have reached a relative velocity of 222.2 m/s.
Is that unrealistic?
Another and perhaps better example would be, eBay
Here caching of the e.g. last bid value etc. is a really bad idea.
Sure they have lots of other content that is cacheable. Still their main feature is lists of 'products' and prices. Prices that are subject to change any moment.
Sure one could argue that the page would be invalid the very second it is viewed in the browser, and any cash transaction needs to be reconfirmed anyway. But still it would be annoying/unuseable if invalid prices where more common than uncommon
If you want to cache this kind of data, you can not cache it on the webserver (closest to the client). The (standard) webserver have no clue as to when data has changed. You'll need to cache them in the database (closest to the data). Here you will be able to build some sort of trigger event scheme to invalidate the pages, and force a rebuild of the specific page.
This I guess is a bit more complex than keeping a hashtable of keys associated with pre-generated pages and a timestamp for when it was generated.

The comparison implied in this story would only be fair if the WTC Towers housed a large gun capable of launching deadly accurate shots into the caves of Tora Bora.
Nevertheless, I found the article very funny and original.

.. for someone else to dupe your post when you can dupe it while posting it. Duping just got alot smarter!
Maybe they just need some help:
%> g++ -o raptor -g main.cpp sensors.cpp -lefence
%> gdb raptor
That should do it!
The only problem now is that pilots now has to learn to operate gdb while they are flying super-sonic and shooting missiles, not an easy task.

USA should export this idea to the rest of the world.
I imagine the Iraq government would be very interested. I'm asuming that they have children too.
True ....
And how great would it be, that every time you pickup your phone you'll have to click later to that stupid upgrade question?
I agree... It's so easy to blame the ISP. In reality it is because people (in general) using computers don't understand how it all works.
Try to replace 'ISP' with 'Phone company' and 'internet connection' with 'phone line'.
Who in their right mind would say that a phone company is responsible for screening your calls?
God phoned in, he wants his name back.
