Let the pilots have their manual override, just keep it secret. Let the major pilot's associations publicly oppose no manual override, while secretly knowing of its existence. Even the human factor wouldn't allow a terrorist attack:
Terrorist: "Fly this plane into that building or I'll kill you!" Pilot: "Blow me!"
For all we know, this could already be secretly planned.
Ironically, this is the same deterrent as the nuclear build-up of the Cold War, only instead of advertising its existence, you hide it......except in the case of "Dr. Strangelove": "What good is a mutually assured destruction deterrent if you keep it a secret? Why didn't you tell the world?"
There are so many reasons to avoid IE and just install Mozilla. Pop-ups are annoying, yes, but not nearly as annoying as network administrators that think they can limit the Web sites employees visit by customizing IE.
For example, my wife and I just started jobs at companies that customize IE to limit access (and in the case of my job, limit browser incompatibility). Now my wife is in sales, yet her laptop, which she often uses off of the corporate network, has IE configured to limit access to Web sites that provide anonymous e-mail. So, she can't go to Yahoo.com, msn.com, hotmail, etc. She often uses these sites for content other than Web e-mail.
So I installed Mozilla. Thank you Mozilla for the oral credits!
Tobacco is regulated in a similar way. Once tobacco products reach the wholesaler, they receive a state stamp and can then only be sold within that state. It's illegal to cross state lines to sell to a retailer.
Williams said they compare the system when it comes out of the Diebold warehouse to make sure it's the same software version that was certified by the ITAs. But he acknowledges that this does not include reading the source code.
Who needs to compare source code? After they certify the voting machines, just run a checksum on all relavant files. When the machines arrive for voting, run it again and compare the checksums.

You had to see "Mission to Mars".

This is more of a moral venue. Slashdot must be straying.
This is not a new technique and doesn't seem worthy of a Slashdot story. Low tech identity theft is nothing new or hard to do.
Planes will crash resulting in loss of life. If you can't tell, I'm the glass-half-empty type.
I'm sticking with my Hewlett-Packard 41-CX if you don't mind!
The delay of the highly anticipated Half-Life 2 due to a code-leak. Anyone have a release date?
Click on the More Details button and you see some .ASP code at the top of the page:
<% if uCase(Request.QueryString("srccode")) = "SUBP2B447688" then %> <% end if %>>
LOL!
The preview (choose Preview/Quicktime/Large, even if you're on Windowz) looks like a cut-scene from a video game. The whole mini-series could've been generated by the Quake Engine.
...Borg style.
...I'd like to spam you just once more before, actually, after I've gone to remind you that cannot escape constant attack on your e-mail box.
Look forward to spim as well.
Correction, there are five speakers spaced horizontally in one box, not one.

...or going away from the intersection, what's the point of changing the light?
Tooling around in my Eclipse all day would be awesome!
What good would changing the light be when you're receeding?
"This is Don Pardo signing off!"
Movies become reality!
I just started a new job and I'm on a Windows NT loaner machine until they can get me my own system.
Do me, just do me!

That's why the US Navy checks its GPS navigation against the traditional sextant every day. Even the carriers use sextants.
Is that how you get rid of annoying ex-girlfriends? I want a file system like that? Does it work for ex-wives?
10 million golf pencils don't just grow on trees...scratch that, forget it.

Sounds like this Rob Behler engineer is an incompetent whiner when it comes to diagnosing software bugs.
However, he's damn brave whistle blower. Go Rob!
