Maybe I'm the only one, but I get tired of talking and really don't want to talk to a machine like Siri if I'm going to be flapping my gums. In addition every time I see someone doing that with some voice recognition thing, I think they just look like a sad version of some space commander talking to his ship. But in this episode/movie it fails and has been failing for quite some time. Wasn't Dragon Naturally Speaking around in the 80's as well? And has it really seen that much improvement? 800 number IVRs still suck.
I really didn't think they would have live monkeys running around being infected with Ebola. I realize it's at a lab or something, but aren't they kind of difficult to contain or isolate biologically?
How many women have been charged with rape for tampering with a condom because they want to get pregnant? I'd be curious to see how evenly this law is applied.
This is pretty weak sauce all around. Should it also be a crime for a guy to say he will marry you to get in your pants and then doesn't? Or can we just chalk a few of these things up to experience and move on?
I know plenty of people that have active resume's on Monster, etc. That isn't really cause to fire though. The company is always looking for better people and people are always looking for better companies. That said, a paycheck for 2 weeks that they didn't give you notice or vice versa should be somewhat fair.
Does Buffet and his lifestyle really look like to you that he's donating to those foundations just so he can keep a few extra clams in the family? Both of these men are the two richest in the world, they have no where to go but down.
How are we supposed to know they're legitimate? Hell, how are we supposed to know that they actually killed him? No real evidence has been shown, never mind a body. A case built on "evidence" like presented so far would be laughed out of even a kangaroo court!
Thank you for clarifying the difference between normal law and alternate law regarding aircraft here, I hadn't heard of it before. Also your last paragraph helped me understand positive vs. negative stability quite a bit better.
So if I understand this correctly, then a fly-by-wire commercial craft may or may not return to normal flight given a lack of input and a military jet most definitely won't? Or am I reading that incorrectly?
And in the story the air speed was unknown to the aircraft's autopilot/computer so I'm guessing whatever "positive stability" it had was lost?
I thought the other part of this was also to let go of the stick as most planes have a tendency to right themselves if you just take your hands off the controls. I'm assuming the flaps and trim are setup okay, etc. But I'm not a pilot either.

+1 - I would love to hear the conversation when they found it.

True, but don't you think people will eventually get bored of Fruit Ninja or whatever?

Now that would be funny!

How much to buy your black heart?

Yes, because medical malpractice lawsuits by surviving family is unheard of huh? Or is it a bigger conspiracy?

Wayne Bell? ;)

Me too, but for bomb elements. I said I was smoking cigarettes and they said "I understand sir" and I boarded my flight.

I did, and I used to type so hard I broke it. But I didn't realize they were still being sold.

Though, if you blew out/over wrote the engines computer settings they might not be thrilled with it.

I would have figured he'd just have made a "I'm Steve Jobs" parking spot that had a locked gate or something to that effect. Heck, maybe even a valet.

I plead not guilty for the lulz your honor.

Well, we do have quite a lot of earth we could theoretically irradiate before we'd really be in trouble.
But since we can't forecast everything like you are hoping for, did you want us to go live in caves again? And even then, a cave could collapse.

You've obviously never seen my writing, it would be described as anything but a smooth gliding motion and I'm a righty. ;)

I hope I'm asking the right questions.

I don't want to pay for nuclear weapons, but I don't really get a choice in that do I?
