Bit confused about the disclosure timeline on this one - issue found, then presented at a conference to the public with videos recorded etc, THEN apple notified and they say "don't tell anyone yet!!!!" - but everyone had already been told at DEF CON.
How does that work?
Why wouldn't users love that? Depends on the class of user. Remember, nerds. Everybody else isn't like us. We should remember that when we have our rose-tinted specs on.
Gibson is no stranger to stupid comments. The BBC/Gilligan debacle didn't win him a lot of friends. I think that he's just moaning that something he doesn't really understand has changed and he doesn't care about it.
Sadly, rather than being taught "concepts" - kids are being taught how to regurgitate information in a parrot-like fashion. Dump them in front of another word processing package and they wouldn't know where to start.
Most of the Local Educational Authorities are in bed with Microsoft. Schools are free to do their own thing if they require, but doing so means you lose out on perks from the LEA such as other free software and support.
It is much easier for them if all the schools are running the same kit and software because it means they can all support things much easier (think IT helpdesks who are knowledgable in JUST the disciplines they need) and it helps them secure bulk deals. And even then, the savings aren't that great.
Does this include flying the HAC turn as well, for alignment with the runway? That's quite a thing to have to do manually over a data link... As well as the actual landing itself.
Or does the Shuttle already have this capability, and the remote is only for the Air Data probes and landing gear?
I want to know how they managed to purchase a ticket in his name. The article doesnt seem to mention anything about bank details. Unless I missed it...
If you are marketing yourself as a serious news outlet for technical news, then being sloppy with punctuation and grammar is not really something that looks good for your image.
Since I keep reading this everywhere, I suddenly thought, maybe he just donated some blood for real, and he's not really an actor.
Noone's considered that. I don't think the Give Blood management would willingly use actors for such a well publicised and good natured campaign.
It's not as simple as saying "ok, lets not come down over land anymore" - Orbital inclination is one consideration, and I would guess that maybe weather and lighting conditions are another. ISS Flights typically come in from south to north, as this one is doing. Columbia's last flight was at a much lower inclination.
Are we talking a complete mission loss? An abort leading to reduced mission capability? What about a return to launch site abort? Technically an abort is a failed mission, but if it is dealt with, it is, to paraphrase Apollo 13 somewhat, a successful failure, because a problem is dealt with and everyone is safe.
What problems do you think would be bad enough to consider this mission "fucked", so to speak:)
Hmmm, I guess its different depending on your equipment. I should qualify my statement by saying that of course, on the main 5 channels, it isnt that noticeable at all, but on the others, it's like watching a 300kbps win media stream. Try News 24 and watch the graphics as they scroll across. And around the presenters head.

Welp, there's a certain stereotype on /. that seems to be fully on display so I'm glad I haven't bothered.
"us" heh. that says a lot about today's fractured world
No, no I shouldn't. Because it will be an exercise in self-harm.

This is most likely a quality control issue, not a design issue which would have turned up in the last 40 years, you would think.

Soyuz would bring down the Expedition 15 crew, and the Shuttle crew would return on their own craft.
It's the chavs you wanna worry about! :-)

...I can answer that question.
No.

Exactly what I was going to say. This IS a democracy after all...
A fair point, but in that case, you don't really need air data probes and landing gear, do you?

Still there as of a few weeks ago. It's the railway museum at Crewe, isn't it?
Oh. In that case, yeah, that's ok. But if I see it elsewhere in another story that has no relation to the quote, I'll go mental.
I, for one, wish people wouldnt use this "joke" with every story on Slashdot.

I'm sick of seeing this tired, overused joke. It wasn't funny the first time, and it's not funny this time. Just stop it, all of you PLEASE.
Active Directory is a tweak?
