And that would accomplish what? You'd have been better off telling him he was an asshole when bad business decisions were about to be made. When the plane is going down, its time to smile and be polite. As you pick up the last parachute and help your boss put on the backpack full of rocks.
I'd like to add that the blog actually reinforces Gladwell's position on the flight 801accident. The blog writer's translation of the cockpit chit-chat prior to the crash describes talk (in Korean) about the local weather conditions. Not a technical exchange that one would expect related to flying. But "It rains a lot here". That is just the sort of social lubricant people employ to ease into a conversation. Not just in Korea, but worldwide. Chatting about the weather. Whether Gladwell's interpretation was correct (approaching the issue of poor VFR conditions in a round-about manner), that sort of conversation is indicative of people trying to 'warm up' a conversation in a social context. Not appropriate in an airplane cockpit under these conditions.
So the aliens who find this planet in 5 million years can see all of our porn?
Ewww yech! On the other hand, humans appear to have only three distinct genders: Those that want to have sex with Megan Fox, those that want to be Megan Fox, and those that want to do her hair.
So, put in fixed wireless. A tower every dozen miles or so on hilltops is cheaper than a hard line running along a road. And much less likely to get taken out by falling trees.
But then I suspect not doing so has more to do with the subsidy design and regulations. Universal Service was intended to fund POTS. Start putting in FTTH, 4G or broadband wireless and you'll get the city folk upset about running gigabit Internet to the hillbillies and not them. Once broadband access gains the same status as POTS had during the last century, this problem will go away. But then there's the status of broadband service itself. Along with access to subsidies comes regulation. And the telecoms are never going to let broadband become a utility or common carrier type service like telephones are without a fight.
... should adopt this. It will make spotting people like Snowden easier. Just look for the carbon paper smudges on his fingers. On the other hand, it will make them stand out at DEFCON when they break out their travel typewriters to make reports. And don't forget all of them lining up to use the bank of payphones in the lobby to call in reports.
... did the same thing with a seven segment timer on a bomb. He thought he had 50 minutes until it started counting seconds down "6h, 8h, Lh...". Then Bender turned it over.
You'd think the Russians would study other industries lessons learned and best practices.
It's something the producers can sell. In the case of alternate language subtitles, they can extract funds from distribution channels and segment the market. Can't do that if everyone buys the region 1 version and adds their own.
Well OK, that's Navy. But still; how will the image of the macho fighter pilot ever live up to that of Tom Cruise? Well maybe Tom Cruise from Tropic Thunder.
... how will we identify these "dangerous owners"? Once they run out onto the front porch with a pistol screaming to confront the SWAT team, its all over. But prior to that, I've known of some people who have had a bug up their ass about something for literally decades. And it isn't until the Big Breakdown that they gain visibility of the legal and/or mental health system.
Any system of prior restraint, pre-crime intervention is just going to cue up the "In Soviet Russia..." comments. As it should.

The repair of such a large area is going to be ..... interesting given the type of construction.

We need someone to keep an eye on those hippies over at UC Berkeley.

Problem is: Customer is sitting in Mahogany Towers and the equipment is sitting in a co-loc facility miles away.
Bottles of Skyy Vodka!
And do you expect us to throw out the barn-megaparsec?

Another fine example of the Russian Reversal.

those same sad COBOL systems are used to process the records that describe the location of the documentation
Its in Hangar 51, crate number 9906754.
can only be installed one way mechanically,
Won't help. The assembly notes say, "Beat to fit. Paint to match."
Ah yes. Simplified English.
You don't happen to work in Toulouse or Seattle, do you?

the others will likely be polite enough to avoid trashing it.
Just like they do with US embassies. Yeah, right.

I wonder how they will pay the police to police this.
They'll have to raise their wages so they can pay them with some of that fancy folding money. Or .....
..... Bitcoin.
rogue flight plan
Someone requested an on-time landing slot at LHR.
Airplane! scene.
