The easier it is for it to screw up.
I remember when the F-16 first came out, there were problems with the fly by wire system.
Pilots were OVER correcting their flying, because they were use to the air pushing on the elevators, tail etc to give
them feedback. Once they redid them, the problems stopped.
Might be the same issue here. People are "use" to the traditional PNDL stick and aren't use to the electronic "no feedback"
one. I drive a standard transmission. Have all my life. I always use the PARKING BRAKE when I exit the vehicle, even though
I leave it in first gear, even on a flat surface. I don't know, but to me, that's why it is called a PARKING BRAKE. Just a little
more safety. My work supplied vehicle is an automatic transmission, but I still use the parking brake out of habit.
Why no one brings up the argument about removing Co2 from the atmosphere will mean LESS oxygen for
us because plants use it to create O2 for us...unbelievable
How much of a hack is it, when the basic understanding of their servers, is bought from someone from
either within or a former member of the I.T. team?
"AnonSec explains that it purchased an "initial foothold" from a hacker with knowledge of Nasa's servers in 2013"
I was a 7 year old who was in love with the space program. Watched every launch from John Glenn through the shuttle.
The weird thing about that whole mess, and the ironic nature was what happened to Grissom's Mercury flight.
Up until the Apollo missions, the hatch opened OUTWARD. On Mercury, there was a button that the user would
punch with his fist, that would activate explosive bolts to blow the hatch. Grissom's flight splashed down, and the
hatch "just blew". Speculation was that Grissom wiggled around, got scared or something an hit the button, causing
the capsule to take on water & sink. After that, they figured it would be better to have an INWARD opening hatch.
Also, to simulate the take off, the "plugs out" test, the cabin pressure was tanked up to around 22psi of PURE O2.
The used pure O2 back then, because they were worried about them getting the bends & they didn't want the added
weight of a nitrogen tank. Also, since everything floats, they had YARDS of Velcro all over the place. I remember
watching a test. Normal air, pressurized and igniting velcro. Nothing happened. Then the pure O2 pressurized,
and the spark caused the whole thing to catch fire. Pure pressurized O2, LOVE flames along with the flammable
Velcro. With the dual hatch design, the inner hatch pressurized outward, once the fire started, the hatch sealed
tighter & tighter, making it impossible to open, until the safety valves popped open. By that time, they had been
overcome by smoke, lack of breathable air, and had been asphyxiated.
I remember the days after, and the funerals. Sad...
A few years ago, they found the Mercury capsule of Grissom's, and took it to the Kansas Cosmodrome in Hutchison, Ks.
After cleaning it up, they found out that the hatch "just blew" as Grissom had claimed all along. The switch was still in
the off mode (it was a one way switch). Also, every Mercury astronaut had a distinctive red spot/bruise on their wrist, where they
smacked that button (it required a LOT of force). Grissom had NONE.
Had that hatch not "just blew", who knows...that fire might have allowed them to blow the hatch and escape.
One positive outcome was it changed the mindset at NASA. They had "go fever" and finally put on the brakes, took a look
at what they were doing and had a change of attitude. Gene Kranz, after the fire wrote two words on a blackboard, to NEVER
be erased..."tough & competent". He & Kris Craft redid how mission control was run, and they never had an issue. Even when
Apollo 12 was hit by lightning, or when the Apollo 13 explosion happened, they did what he always dictated, WORK THE PROBLEM.
A lot of good came out of that tragedy
THAT was my thought exactly!
I'm surprised all of Europe isn't bankrupt from the influx of "refugees".
Should have sent them all the oil rich Saudi, Omen, Qatar, but they
sent them all over Europe to spread that ISIS crap. They are demanding
free this and free that.
Once there is a government run "national" grid, then those states that, according to the government, waste, use too much,
do not do what the government says in reducing this or that, will be CUT OFF, or cut down on the amount of electricity they
use. Every time the FEDERAL government gets its hands on something, they can DICTATE how it is used, consumed or
anything else. The 10th amendment is about powers not constitutionally granted the federal government, be left to the
states. Do not DOUBT me on this!
The Iranians haven't been trusted since November 1979.
Oh, they'll play nice until they get what they want, then it will be back to business as usual.
Just as with North Korea.
Obama has a lot of work to do, until the '16 election to fully destroy the USA.
Heck, I'm still of the opinion that he will stir something up before the election
(especially if a Republican looks to be elected), so he can suspend the
election.
is moving in droves there in the guise of "escaping" the middle east?
Their BIRTH rates have exploded (no pun intended). It's easier to take over a geographic
area, by overpopulating it with a group of outsiders. Then, come election time, they have
the majority.
That someone might steal hundreds of pounds of bacon grease, melt it down to get
the glycerin from it, then turn it into an explosive, because some terrorist watched
an old movie from the WW2 era, and saw an old b&w newsreel that showed the
scrap drives for aluminum, rubber, bacon grease and looked on wickipedia or google
to find out why there was a demand for bacon grease and then discovered the glycerin
could be used as an explosive and that way they could fly under the radar of the ATF
buy not having to buy fuel oil & fertilizer.
Or I could be wrong LOL.
Oh, I'm sure the ATF is ONLY looking for grease dumpers/thieves LOL.
Think progress...what an oxymoron
"Progress" to them, is shutting everything down, living in caves, eating sticks & berries.
Nuke power would be viable, if it wasn't for all the red tape involved.
It's a make believe movie, who cares?
I USE TO be a fan of the SW movies, but, the hype & marketing of this one...
I haven't even bothered to spend the money to see it. I'll wait til it hits the
Redbox/torrents/netflix before I watch it.
LOL, it would be like placing a big umbrella over all that sand, which wouldn't heat up, and would be cool all the time,
which would kill all the life that lives in the dessert. Oh the humanity!
It's no different that pretty much any website. They push their agenda, as some other sites push the opposite agenda.
The PROBLEM, is that people see it as a website version of an encyclopedia, which it is not. How many errors, or out
and out lies have been discovered on that site.
It's like any other website. Take it with a grain of salt, unless you can independently verify the information from other
sources.
Been involved with R/C since the early 80's. As a ham radio operator, I even had my own frequency (black flag on the transmitter).
Never once did I fly in a public space. Always at R/C parks, out on a farm...in other words AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
With gyro's, micro controllers and the like, people take them out of the box, charge them up and VOLLA! They are a pilot!
They know nothing about flying, nothing about the controls are backwards when flying upside down or towards yourself.
Obviously they know NOTHING about safety.
Now, R/C plane/helicopter flyers are going to be lumped into this crap and have to register. At least the AMA (not the medical one)
is trying to fight this load of crap. I say just fine the idiots flying them in a dangerous matter and be done with it.
Most people are irresponsible, so just punish those, and not the ones like us that are responsible.
This destroys the basic human need to "do better".
Look at over 50 years of welfare in the USA and you can see "giving" people money to exist, does nothing but promote a segment of society to become BUMS, gang members, "baby daddies/momma, drug users etc. They have no purpose in life!
The USA, before it was a nation, experimented with the communial, all for one life and the settlers who first came to the North American continent just about starved to death. Only the hard workers actually worked, only to have the fruits of their labor, taken from them, for the entire settlement, which means that there was not enough to go around.
After seeing that didn't work, they carved out sections of land, and left each person or family to enjoy the fruits of their own labor, using the barter system, one mans labor had
purpose.
You want to go down that path, so be it, but speaking for a person in the USA, DON'T DO IT!
Once it starts, the government will spend more and more, from the producers, to give it to the non producers. "Oh, but it is only an income". Yep, and the USA's social security, started out "only" as an old age pension fund. Then they added this, added that and NOW it is nothing more than a vote buying gimmick. Keep a segment of the population DEPENDENT on government, to guarantee they will continue to vote for one segment of government, the group that gives them free stuff.
Once you reach close to 50% of the population under government dependence of them, the nation is ruined.

Besides drug money, the #1 source of capital in Mexico is from wire transfers from the USA. They send a lot of it back home.

Within a week....someone will "take him out" in hopes of shutting him up or something.

When politically correct people, SCREW themselves out of a job. Can't even tell jokes these days, without "offending" someone.

I like the idea of REMOVING all warning labels, and letting nature, run its course. Would strengthen the gene pool eventually.
