Uh, you have to know how to change tires to pass the test? Why in God's name is that a test point? It's certainly not relevant to safe driving. I have had 1 flat tire in 35+ years. I certainly know how to change them (changed many a tire on race cars), but I would wager that most people would call the auto club.
That show is *nightmarishly bad*. In one episode, some alien planet sends probes that create an atmosphere (to keep the Alpha crew happy until they passed out of range so they didn't have Martin Landau and Barbara Bain descend up them). That's when I found out that *the windows on Moonbase Alpha were designed to be opened* so they could get a nice breeze. And that the intrepid space voyagers brought *bikinis* so they could frolic on the regolith.
It's interesting to me that this scam is predicated on the concept that the average user thinks (and accepts) that Microsoft is monitoring their computer's health. It's amazing that this is just accepted as standard and no one has a problem with the concept.
Since yoy asked, your grammar is atrocious. You wrote "suspect" when you meant "subject". And the post seems like classic flamebait. That's just on cursory inspection; I am sure I could come up with more mistakes given some time.
Who said it failed? That was a choice. It didn't have an extensive sensor net to detect obstacles, that's why it needed to be manually adjusted. Hard to beat a Mark 1 Eyeball. And even then, a fair fraction of it was working - attitude hold, altitude rate hold, etc, were all automatic functions.
But when the law unfairly restricts your natural rights, then the breaking of that law is completely justified, hell, armed revolution in the case of China is very much justified for the Chinese people.
You be sure and tell them that at the Peking police station.
I have never seen more drivel in my life. If you don't want to follow the laws of the country, then *don't go*. Same with any country including the good old USA. Do otherwise and you are looking for trouble. Not going is a far better protest than going in and trying to sneak around, anyway.
Precisely. Almost all the geniuses of the past were men of faith. Newton, for example - he was heretical at the time because he was even harder over than his contemporaries.
I am an outside observer, but I think you have a pretty good point there. It's arguably "messages in codes or ciphers intended to obscure the meaning thereof,". It's a cipher of sorts, the only argument is whether or not it is intended to obscure the meaning. It could be argued that there is no intent to obscure the meaning, only that its a coincidental side effect.
This is hardly a unique situation and it has been done before. Of course, the value of it in this case is dubious, but it's perfectly legal and has been for a very long time.

Popular? You are kidding, right?

First action - apologize to Bin Laden!
Somebody addressed this problem a long time ago, I see it on CSI every week.
Geez, I never had one that nice. Until about a year ago, I had a VT240 and a microVax on my desk, and used it daily.

Precisely. Entropy provides the damping necessary to maintain a stable system.
The DID use the autonomous system in the first try! It got interference from some other equipment and bombed out. They turned it off and tried again.

Because it's not always receiving frames? Until you initiated a stream, there's no frames to check the error counts of.
If you had used proper syntax it would had been fine:
if (BARCNT .LT. 3) 10
10 CONTINUE
BARCNT=3
GOTO 20
Etc.

Oh, that link is classic. It's also 100% applicable to the "Linux on the desktop" issue, too.

Only question - does the Kin come in "Feces Brown"?

He doesn't understand the issue, so he asked a question. Sorry that offends your sensibilities.
Because this is slashdot where all opinions are welcomed, and everyone is a free thinker. As long as they all go along with the hyper-leftist herd.

Nothing can be done?! Nonsense. The National Security Act could be used to simply seize the entire operation, if it's that important.
