The described fault-tolerance of analog storage media is in part thanks to the depth of the recording. For example, if the difference between the heights of the undulations in the phonograph record are changed with time, the sound is still recognizable (to a degree). It would take lots of changes to bring the undulations to the smooth. With digital, you have 0 or 1, so one change screws things up.
Short of running special recovery algorithms, the solution is to make the digital record to require much higher degree of change to affect the meaning then just changing 0 to 1. RAID 5+ is a good example of this principal in HDD applications. Since data on the CDs are most likely is not to be re-written, having multiple copies is the obvious solution.
IMHO, another method to bring digital storage to be as withstanding as analog could be to accept a bit not being just one dot burned on CD, but group of for example 11 dots, each having the same value (0 or 1). In case of damage, you'd just accept the value of the bit to be the value of the largest recovered group (at least 6 out of 11).
With Google sitting on a huge pile of cash, it only makes sense to get as many people as possible who can come up with something new and cool. What if only one in 10000 of those people will come up with the new bright idea that will start making major money for Google? Does it worth investment of extra $1 BILLION in the other 9999 people (considering that the average salary would be $100K)? Yes it does! Also, all those people are not just going to be "sitting there", but they will be helping Google's everyday needs. Ballmer is wrong.
I assume that if here is no signal received from the remote autopilot, the system should fall back on the next most reliable control option, which is the manual control by the pilot.
So, you could say that jamming the signal will disable the system, but it at least makes it one step harder to hijack the plane.

Considering that in current design Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't carry the un-reversible effect as it did in DOS, why not make it for user to use it?

Please, this is way too depressing!

Microsoft's own bug hunters will not get the extra bonus because Vista sales suck so much, because Vista has bugs which hunters found... Hm...

This would be a good reason for hiring more employees.
