The question is what is the failure state? With mechanical throttle it is idle.
In a semi, it probably doesn't matter as much, professional driver with professional license, lots more experience. In a plane, there are probably three systems and it goes by majority vote + warning when one fails.
The one that really worries me is drive-by-wire steering systems.
I really am struggling to understand what the business plan would be that replaces OS X with iPhone OS. These devices don't allow users to run a programing language. Doing so would totally evade the closed nature of the devices. If Apple didn't allow people to program on OS X, would they recommend developers use some *nix?
FSF appears to want all devices to be able to run FS, why? You just won't get 1.5 pounds, 10 hour battery life watching video from a product that isn't built with lots of software/hardware integration. If FSF wants a FS version of this, they should go out an build a free hardware integrated in with software package of their own. I'll bet that if they invest even 1/2 as much as Apple has, they could do it.
One of Apple's brilliant insights is that they know you can make the best products if you make both the hardware and the software. MS and GNU on the other hand prefers to make good and cheap stuff and hope for other developers to make it better with their "bazaar style" contributions. Sometime this works out much better than the Apple version.
If you want 3 to 3.5 pounds and 10 hours of battery life plus the ability to format the HD, great get a netbook. If you wants 1.5 pounds, multitouch and 10 hours of battery life, you have to go with the iPad.
libertarians don't really talk about monopolies much--especially situations where the obvious optimal policy is for one company to have a monopoly. That is situations like electricity distribution, firehouses, et cetera. It is not even clear to me that the optimal policy in telecom isn't for the government to run the whole show because while this ologopoly system we have now does make for faster connections, it also makes for crazy high bills.
Do you mean that I will love the interior until it peels?
The reason I would not test drive a saab is that I think of them as unreliable cars that are constantly in the shop. Friends who owned them confirmed this. Is that still the case? For comparison I just sold an Accord that I owned from 9 to 15 years and I put in less than $50/month into the thing and it lost an average of $28/month in value during that time. Oh, plus gas, but I was getting 30 MPG, so that wasn't that bad either.
You wrote that radioactive materials are not corrosive. Except that they are--lots of engineering effort has to go into designing what surrounds the core of a reactor because of the neutron dose it gets. When something absorbs a neutron it often knocks out atoms and changes which atom they are--this is hard on materials. If they support weight, lots of thought has to go into making them able to support that weight 30 years later.
However, for some dinky source you could store in your office--very true--not going to corrode anything no matter how long your keep it near something.
This is just fruity. By this argument, the USSR could have just gone around raiding houses in the 1960s. First of all, diplomats can be ejected from the country, if INTERPOL started violating people's rights, this is what would happen. Second of all, people with diplomatic immunity are not free from prosecution if their home country allows the prosecution or in their home country. Third of all, evidence collected to be used against you must be collected according to evidence standards.
by this logic, why not just use the military, after all NATO has diplomatic immunity and our forces are part of NATO. This article is just tinfoil hat wearing.
The bizarre world you suggest where diplomatic immunity grants you the right to snatch and grab others obviously doesn't exist. Otherwise, why use INTERPOL? Why not just get a diplomat from another country to do it?
You are right, I just use non-transaction friendly MySQL tables--here two way master/slave replication is fine. Transaction are irrelevant for what I do (store lots of information for later reading), so I don't appreciate the difference.
Also, this is the article I was talking about.
So first off this is from a 2002 PC Magazine article (but since Oracle is 20 years ahead, they should tie knots around MySQL's 2022 products) that used THEN, "high-end server hardware." They did 20M products and 5M customers.
Their conclusion, Oracle 9i was on top with 629 pages per second, but "Almost nudging Oracle9i for top honors was the dark horse, MySQL, with 608 pages per second." Not too shabby.
BTW, if you actually can critique this, I would really like to hear it because the methodology sounded great: get a team of developers from the company to implement a webpage that meet certain requirements and then test it under load.
I got MySQL 4 to do two-way replication in about 20 minutes, but nice try. Also, speed tests done around 2000 showed MySQL and Oracle neck and neck for large server loads.
But the OS license allowed further licensing. That could easily make an irrevocable license. That is A licenses B which licenses C, then A revokes the license of B, but B lets C continue on with its license.
I think you are forgetting that Medicare and social security are the most popular program in the US... nobody group would vote for changing it in any way, state or national politician. Even Reagan didn't have the political capital.
Did you know that the highest rated health care program is Medicare?
I think the point is your concept of the constitution is fringe and has few folowers, especially in the SCOTUS. Really your problem isn't with this bill but a disagreement with the conventional understanding of the constitution.
I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that you also think medicare and social security are unconstitutional. You'd be wrong and the courts will never give you what you want on this one.
Wow, never been modded down as troll before. I guess my point was this: OLPC appears to judge success by laptops distributed (and money donated). I think this is a poor measure of success. A better measure would be education improved, so studies showing that children who were given OLPC laptops had showed to some sort of improvement over children who were not (obviously, you would need to do randomized treatment assignment to figure this out). But ultimately, you want them to be better at some sort of occupation (child rearing, farming, manufacturing, trade) and so the real results would have to be measured much later.
Even this would not really give you the answer to the real question you want to know though, is this use of $200 better than another use. i.e. would safe drinking water, treatments for diseases, or some other program help more?

Actually some of Toyota's push-to-start cars now have really odd transmissions too--it takes some getting used to.

With the Infinity the real question is: what is that system broke. Not a very good test.
I'm just trying to figure out, is there a set of people who can read and understand the above post but does not already know information in the post?

But even if what you are saying where blanket correct this is irrelevant if the person from the US in in the US doing the act.
This is major tinfoilhatism on your part.
Yeah, but diplomatic immunity does not free you from prosecution in your home country--so if this person is an American, it is irrelevant.
by this logic, why not just use the military, after all NATO has diplomatic immunity and our forces are part of NATO. This article is just tinfoil hat wearing.
