No, I think the duct tape was over his altimeter, and it was the ground crew that left it there (It was an airliner, IIRC). Hopefully they learned from that.
I have a keyboard behind me that has the power button directly underneath the delete key. And the delete key is one space higher than my normal keyboard.
and I hope he learned to do better pre-flight walk-arounds in the future
We both know it's never going to happen...do you remember that incedent where flourescent orange duct tape (so you wouldn't forget to take it off) was left on the plane (the tape was put over something while maintenence was being done, I'm not a pilot or aeronautic engineer, so I can't remember what it was), and completely fucked up the altimeter readings.
The pilot started to figure out what was going on when the tower gave different altitude readings from his own in the cockpit. He ended up hitting the sea, when he thought he was at about 4500 i think, don't know if he tried landing ILS though.
Well, unless you have a product which is either 100% effective or no-one wants to sue over, being able to sue over a failure, which WILL happen sooner or later makes it much harder for anything new to enter the industry.
You think I don't care about people lives at all? I have only the greatest appreciation for what our armed forces have been doing for the world, and wish I had a way to repay them. I have sympathy for all who are killed and wounded, no matter whose side. I know that both sides think they are doing the right thing, and although I believe...no...know that it is the terrorists that are in the wrong, I would rather resolve out differences peacefully. But sometimes this cannot happen, and since it seems that you are in the military, I thank you for fighting for that that is right.
I know that the US is helping to rebuild Iraq, and I thank them for that, but does that disallow me from casting ANY suspicion at all? Abu Ghraib anyone?
I can understand if you want pictures of weapons and other classified material to be kept secret. I don't have a problem with that. But eliminating all means for a whistle-blower to make public incriminating information if something bad is happening i think is not a good idea, IMO. But I guess not everyone has the same opinion on these things.
It kinda defeats the whole purpose of the game if you can just buy your way up.
Would you like it if Doom 3 had a version selling for say, $500, which had a difficulty level where all the enemies would just stand with their backs to you and their hands up?
What would your first reaction be when the military forces, who are OCCUPYING, not in the process of an invasion, start trying to stop pictures from getting to the public?

This would be what you were talking about.

Ok, I'm not a pilot, but wouldn't not all terrain be suitable for landing on? What happens if your engine fails over a few miles of that?
Of course, the obvious solution would be to go around it before the engine fails. But I guess it depends where you live.

No, they'd be like surgically removing the tumour, and then replacing it with a slightly smaller one.
Repeated every time the new tumour gets double the size of the old one.

When did "Seatbelts!" mean take them off?

Unless you plan on gliding straight down, you would not parachute to anywhere near the same that you would glide to.
Anything light enough to stay in the air is not going to be able to stop a bomb from destroying the module.
If we had a material like that, would we not put it around the engines and control surfaces already?
You can't glide forever.
Fairly small if you say that there is a constant chance of the plane crashing over the entire flight.
In contrast, most accidents happen around takeoff and landing. Which doesn't usually happen in unpopulated areas.

While those who don't have as much money in real life are still doing the annoying parts, and you can just skip past them? In a MULTIPLAYER scenario?
I know what you mean...I have 4 in here (I'd have more, but not enough room), and another 4 spread over my house.

All I'm missing is an old Sun workstation

Let me guess...you own a mac?
Just out of curiosity, are you talking about self-provided laptops? Would they let you use an iBook?

Look, no offence or anything....but I think maybe it's time to put some of your friends through rehab ;)
it's his computer, and his choice of a user experience
And I can see that you are not the person who has to clean up his machine afterwards.
This kind of thing sets a dangerous precedent.
Tor allows you to run a server anonymously. Read the docs.
Provided that you live in the US. This kind of thing helps everyone.
Good luck fixing #1 if you have no way to organise a resistance.
They can't tap everyone's phones.
Because it isn't going to be as easy to check every source file for modifications, and to then check what has been fixed, and what has been added.
