I seriously don't understand what you mean by 'doesn't work any more'. If they have actually got some funny scripts then hurrah. I think it was the material, not the format, which spoiled the specials.
How much redundancy is designed into aircraft fly by wire compared to automobile throttle applications? How many components are designed to fail safe?:-)
I think a lot of people suggest that they go back to the old mechanically linked accelerator pedals when they hear about the failures in the 'fly-by-wire' systems. Pretty much all the people who understand the issue.
How does the convoy agree to change lanes? Is there a discussion between all the vehicles' sensors or will some poor bastard get sideswiped into the guard rail? What happens when two convoys are side by side and roadworks narrow the road to a single lane? Imagine the chaos as a hundred 'drivers' have to be awakened/climb back into the front seat/ put down their spaghetti/ find their driving glasses etc.
And so i don't look out of place, I hope nobody will 'loose' their life when the 'breaks' fail.
According to the back of this envelope, an eight digit upper case alphabetic key would take a worst case of $2436.32 for his algorithm to crack. What sort of shitty pre-shared key is he attacking? Or is my envelope wrong and I suck?
I presume, since cheating on the exam shows a disregard for rules and a willingness to lie to gain advantage over others, they will now be fast-tracked onto the management course?
That is just crazy talk. What about the vast amount of paperwork that would not need to be done? Where would all those lawyers and bureaucrats get their easy money then?
I don't mind teachers and firemen and cops getting pensions, or indeed a decent wage. What annoys me is the layers of management above them who get bigger pensions and bigger wages. Professional people should need little management.
Hey, sonny, I used to browse the internets at 9,600kbps (uphill both ways). If i can get 7.5 Gb a month over my phone @ 33.6kbps or 500Mb a month @ 2Mbps and the faster connection costs me an extra £10 a month, I will be browsing with Lynx. At least I won't have contention issues.:-)
Heh. Well put. I chose android on my last handset upgrade for similar reasons, even though I haven't got any apps except from the marketplace. To hell with DRM.
Is there a modem app? I could set up a modem at home and dial into it and route data from my home broadband. Although my ISP doesn't want to supply the service they sold me either. Maybe I should introduce a 'payment cap' ?
Hah! I will be able to afford a gold leaf hat with my new traffic light installation traffic lights. Under the banner of safety, they impede and infuriate traffic light installation workers as they try and travel to work. They are totally justified by the secret study that I paid experts to compile, and which remains confidential and proprietary.
No, I assume that trafficlights are a way of enriching those who spend public money on them and those who supply them, at the expense of the shmucks that pay for them and who are inconvenienced by them.
Broken traffic lights have much shorter queues than when they are working. If the state/municipality wanted to save money, they would just remove the traffic lights. It isn't about state/municipality not wanting to pay, they are just interested in the kickback from the traffic light supplier.
The cost to the city of the vandalised traffic lights will be mitigated by the savings in time, fuel and brake wear of the thousands of people who use that bit of road.
Heh, I had a nokia N95 (crappy GPS which i tried to fix with a rom flash which was only possible with the nokia tool which only ran on XP SP3 and didn't fix the problem and deleted the built-in UK map info and all user data. Thanks, Nokia) followed by an LG Renoir (could play divx files, but had flaky bluetooth and was pretty crappy all-round, no software updates ever made available) and a Blackberry (crap at everything bar receiving email). When my contract finally expired I got an HTC Desire as I could put lots of PDFs, mp3s and txt files on a micro-sd card and cram it into the phone, I didn't fancy buggering about with iTunes in case it needed a certain OS and service pack etc.
I actually was surprised when i saw an iPhone 4 . The case itself has small radius edges and the (more numerous than i anticipated) buttons seem sharp-edged and stick out more than one would expect. I would have guessed it was some cheap knock-off from a nameless asian company if I hadn't known it was real, it felt so scratchy and rough to the touch. This is just the hardware I am talking about, I haven't used the OS so I can't give an opinion on that.
I wouldn't want to deny Apple my money, I just want to retain the same amount of control over that money as they retain over my iProducts. Astoundingly, Apple refuse to take my money.

Nothing? 12% is nothing?
Also, if you managed 110km/h you would save 24 minutes, almost a quarter of the journey time.
These companies will spend that money on either R&D or bonuses for the top management. It is too early to tell which.
Well, I thought "Meh! We are in a gravity well. All dogs will follow a parabolic trajectory".
Finally, someone talking sense. And with the steady drop in memory prices, it is even affordable.

Maybe you would be better off with lies and damned lies?

You could be right.
I never had a page, or used IM, or blogged and now I don't use MyBook.
