I'll tell you an amazing story. I have a DVD drive on this computer and an old external 4X CD burner. They play most discs, but sometimes one refues to play certain audio CD without skipping madly, and the other is fine. I think I eve had one of the CDs in the external burner REFUSE to play at all, and the computer would recognize it, while it played fine in the DVD drive, and my CD player downstairs.
Amazingly enough, as I've been digitize my music, I've had almost no problems with discs digitizing correctly by using the DVD drive, even the ones I had problems with in the same drive when I just played them through the computer. I just stopped trying to figure it out, it was making my head hurt.
Finally! Now the paper I buy at the story can get viruses too! Electronic paper, the last thing I ever thought I might want.
But hey, there is a plus to this. We could develop see through clothes with built in heaters right? Back enough transistors into the cloth and it's like your standing inside of a space heater!
Is this after one configures WinXP to be less annoying? Cause while I use it myself, in the postinstall configuration, it has it's annoying quirks. I never have cared for menus the map themselves to what I do. It makes me think things are uninstalling themselves off my computer.
To me it sounds like all you'd need to do is hack the computer system of the plane. Could it stop people? Yes, but it will just force terrorists to be more high tech. Plus, it would require updating every plane's software when the no fly zones changed. If the system is easy to update then it will probably be easy to alter maliciously.
Since the good senator is so against piracy, I feel he shouldnâ(TM)t qualify for two warning. He should publicly destroy his web-servers to show he is not immune to the law. (It would be funny to see too.)
I'm not even sure it's possible to build a system using two CPUs with different ISA's. (Instruction Set Architectures.) I'm sure it can be done, but it would probably be a nightmare to design, and an even bigger nightmare to ever upgrade. It probably wouldn't be that fast either.
The real solution is to embed an emulator into your operating system.
(On a side note, the x86 architecture is already a nightmare of design.)

I bet he gets space sick first time up.

Some people honestly need the drugs. They just canâ(TM)t get by without it. Without them, they are simply loose cannons. (Manic Depressives are a great example of this. I personally have had experience with how drugs can help people who are manic.) Drugs do produce mind altering effects. In some ways, you can control yourself, and produce some of the same changes drugs can give. You could try hard to remain focused with ADD. There are limits though. Anyone whoâ(TM)s been serverely depressed knows itâ(TM)s hard to just pull yourself out of it, even if you want too. The drugs can help you. Then can also mess you up. Itâ(TM)s like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. *look, another cliché!*
.05% is kind of an insignificant number. I also wonder if they took into account variations in the earths orbit around the sun.
