Noticed that, did you? Gotta address this deadly threat, rally behind the government, and so forth, to protect from those crazy right-wing nuts clinging to guns and bibles!
The only airplane manufacturer to use a "fly-by-wire" system is Airbus. Check the link because there was a huge uproar about that "by-wire" system when the Air France flight crashed because of a control/fly-by-wire system borked.
Almost ALL airplane manufacturers use fly-by-wire for at least something. You are only considering commercial airliners that are entirely fly-by-sire. Military aircraft have have fly-by-wire for decades before Airbus came along. Airbus is better-known as their implementation of fly-by-wire is particularly poor.
The single-event-upset is a well-known issue even in older-technology processors - EDAC and other strategies to combat it (like, 3-bit flags with voting) have been known solutions, also for decades.
What kind of stupid, half-witted, pseudo-concern is this? This is the same as asking if a cure for cancer is morally wrong;
Welcome to slashdot!
Seriously, there are those who consider a lot of what are generally considered defects/handicaps/etc "communities" that should be preserved. Deafness, for instance, autism as another. I think it's asinine but it's on-point to the question.
Nonsense. The problem with the space race is that it was unsustainable. There was no way any nation would maintain that kind of spending for an extended period of time. We were spedning around three percent of GDP... for something with intangible payback.
Intangible payback? Where the heck do you think that money went? Why, into the economy. 400-500,000 people were employed in one way or another by the space program or spinoffs. That's a hell of a lot more effective return on investment than any of the ~10% of the GDP pissed away into "jobs stimulus" in just the last year.
I agree with the basic principle, but you are incorrect about that. Technically, all that the establishment clause prohibits is establishment of a state religion. It certainly DOES NOT separate or segregate church and state, and I think you would find all of those very sensible gentlemen were all highly religious, and governed and acted accordingly.
One of the better parts of an overall extremely funny movie. Also, I predict that this article on Slashdot will make all of his email problems so much better!
Now, if there were only a link to a website so we could help him even more!
And I might add that the drawing/sketching tools on Windows are the absolute pits. With MacDraw or Sharedraw, I can just about do as well as I do on paper. But there's nothing even close to the same on Windows, and the most-common tools (Powerpoint and Word draw functions) are the most irritating pieces of crap ever foisted on humanity. It *looks* like it should work, but things don't click to grids, and you will be going along fine, and then "something" will happen and it will realign everything. Same with Visio. The next step up is something like a CAD program which is just far too complex.
If someone wrote a program like Macdraw/Sharedraw for Windows, and that *actually worked* in a predictable fashion, it would be a huge breakthrough.
