I'm not a piolt but I know a few, and GPS is just one of many systems they use. Most insturments in an airplane have at least one backup on board. Incase of GPS failure, there is always IFR, etc..
Honestly, if it would of been Linux vs the Mac, the Mac would of spanked the competition, in all categories. Why? Becuase there is no Photoshop for Linux, there are few games. You can argue use gimp etc... but that's not exactly apples to apples
I know this is way off topic, but what's with the "Slashdot personal ads"? I know there are some women that read slashdot, but I think it's a safe guess there are way more men reading/. then women. Also I think the personal market is officially saturated when the news for nerds site gets in on the action
This is what you can expect from a left leaning company that puts a picture of a 'sister' on there front page, just a bunch of sue happy red diaper doper babies.
Thank god for liberals
How did this off topic post get rated a two? But setting the facts straight WMD was found in Iraq see here and last time I heard most thought UBL was behind the WTC.....
I think you're a bit confused, first off the RIAA isn't a single company.
Second, I think what you say about the RIAA running the US through it's lobbying organisations, is a bit over blown, but let's go with it anyway, if they can buy lobbiest so can other groups such as the EFF, at least that would level the playing feild somewhat. I would like to hear of a more successful system anywhere in the world.
I don't think "daddy's boy" is bullying the world into WW3, lets not forget who was in office when the only other major nuclar power in the world, the Russians, hastly sent tanks and troops in to Kosovo, one wrong mover there and it would of been WW3.
I would say since I've seen 3 post in as many days about alternitives to the car, and not a single post in favor of cars, getting safer, more effient, safer, etc...
That yes slashdot editors are anti car, You gettn' it? It about context not language
Why you hate-in on the auto this weekend Story 1 Story 2 Stroy 3
I hope it doesn't screw up the paint on my Dually when I start running these things over
a very small percentage of families can afford to have one parent stay home nowadays....
Wrong more people could stay home with their childern but choose not to. I don't make bad money but I don't make great money either. If I had to choose between my wife staying at home or a car payment I'd choose her staying at home, many people choose a car, big house etc...
10 year olds don't go to Harvard, they go to public schools......
You're right, my answer to that is we should disban teacher unions, that allow shitty grade school teachers to stay in the education system.
What about the rest of the people
I guess they should of made better decions, but they still can make decions to improve their lives, becuase American firepower has brought that freedom to them
Why is a republican supporting this bill? There is no money in open source software. What is the truly liberal slashdot crowd to do? We love open source but hate republicans. They must be doing this so "Big Oil" can save some money, or maybe to kill innocent people in Iraq. What makes this worse is it's coming from Texas, oh no what to do....
Go listen to my Dixie Chicks CD and smoke pot I guess.

I think we all know the evil republicans control the weather. It's the republicans fault, I blame the republicans. Howard Dean save us

Pinky : "Gee, Brain what do you want to do tonight?"
: "The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the world!"
Brain
We need more cell phones that run Palm OS like the SPH-i500 it's the size of a normal phone but with all the palm stuff built in
Of course the SPH-i600 would kick it's ass, but I don't think that will ever make it to market
Can't defend the topic make personal attacks, typical leftist

Healthcare: I can't think of too many people who leave the country for medical care, but I do hear about people from other lands coming here.
Education: Harvard, Yale, MIT...
Daycare: Nope, I'd rather my wife and I raise our kids
All that stuff is nice and dandy, but if I have to retype it all in via keypad, it'll never get used. Why don't all cell phones sync with a PC?
