The CEOs and K Street types already have the helicopter exemption to FAR 91.119. They can already land wherever they want. Most of them have no interest in flying - for them a pilot is someone you hire, not someone you aspire to be.
You can't fly in to Washington National on a PPL-ASEL any more. It is closed to all Part 91 operations.
Well, keep in mind that if you have a medical condition "that would make [you] unable to operate the aircraft in a safe manner," you're supposed to self-disqualify, even in an LSA.
Of course, you can also fly a Stemme motorglider with a 115hp Rotax, 140 knot cruise speed, and 1850 lbs MTOW with no medical whatsoever.
So my question is: Is the problem that medical requirements are overly weak for LSAs and gliders, or is it that they are overly burdensome for non-complex ASELs?
Also, we're not talking about auto mechanics here. Aviation mechanics have to sign off on your annual airworthiness inspection. Every pilot bets his life every flight that his mechanic is reliable and trustworthy. So yes, their opinion is worth a hell of a lot to me.
If you want to eliminate the crackpot factor, just visit 20 different airports.
Do me a favor. Go wander down to the general aviation section of your closest airport. Find a mechanic. Ask them how reliable the sensors, servos and control electronics are in GA autopilots. Listen to the answer. Then think carefully about how mandatory computer control of GA aircraft would really work.
Yes, the special exception is called "Light Sport Aircraft." The criteria are that it can have no more than 2 seats, no more than 120 knots normal cruise, no more than 1320 lbs gross weight, and various other more technical requirements. The Cessna 150/152 does not qualify because it weighs 1600+ lbs. There are dozens of LSA models on the market.
LSA aircraft can be flown with a new category of pilot certification that requires less training and does not require a formal medical exam. (Although you're supposed to self-disqualify if you become aware of an adverse medical condition.)

Did you remember to reverse the order of all your words?
More than 2^512 state changes are required ON AVERAGE to break 512 bit encryption USING BRUTE FORCE.
Are we at the end of cryptographic history? What are the odds that in your notional billion years of computation, some weakness or new technique will be discovered that makes our current methods trivially breakable?
For that matter, are we at the end of physics? Are "current estimates" guaranteed not to later turn out to be wildly incorrect, as they have done many times before? Are these estimates making the assumption that all the state changes are to be observed, and if so, why is it impossible to build a computational device that relies on non-observed phenomena, which (as I understand it) are not subject to such limits?
Over a timeframe like a billion years, is it not possible that the owners of our universe could show up and say "hey guys, quantum physics is weird because it exposes all the shortcuts we took when creating the simulator that runs your universe, sorry about that, by the way here's the key to your encrypted code?"
Show a little humility. IT'S A BILLION YEARS. Our understanding of physical reality has been altered dramatically in just a couple hundred years. There's no reason to suppose that we are today at the end of that process.
But we're talking about a courtroom, not a private government office. You can't choose not to "enter government property" when you have been served with a summons. Also, a courtroom is the very definition of a public space. In court, you are as "in public" as you could ever possibly be.
However, the constitution does not prohibit "random" searches or searches where you have not "committed a specific crime." It only prohibits "unreasonable" searches. If the great majority consider it reasonable to be searched when entering a high value terrorism target such as a museum, courthouse or airport, then such searches are unfortunately constitutional.
Well, but you're making the huge assumption that any security breach must occur because of a breakdown of the fundamental cryptographic protocol. In fact, all publicly known ssh vulnerabilities have been the result of implementation errors of one sort or another.
So, the question is: Are you more likely to encounter implementation errors or other commonplace security flaws during key negotiation or during stream encryption? I think the answer is pretty clearly key negotiation, because the attack surface is larger. Unless you're worried you might lose control of the open session to a local attacker.
That's not the choice. The choice is a "quick" scan of their kids genitals and a 0.000001% chance of flying with terrorists, or no scan and a 0.00001% chance of flying with terrorists. It's really a no-brainer.
Seriously, we've never had genital scanners before and airplanes have been remarkably safe. In 2001, including all the 9/11 casualties both on the planes and on the ground and also the unrelated AA 587 crash, the rate was one death per 250 million passenger-miles.
According to the NTSB, the US fatal highway accident rate is 1.3 deaths per 100 million vehicle-miles, with an average of 1.6 occupants. By my math this comes to about two deaths per 250 million passenger-miles, double the risk of flying in 2001, which was already eight times higher than the risk of flying in a typical year. (I don't have equivalent figures for the UK.)
Should we install genital scanners at highway entrances?
It's because you want to run the heater and warm the car up when it's cold. In very cold weather, many cars' owners handbooks recommend idling the car for 5 minutes before applying power. Also, it's a hell of a lot easier to scrape the ice and snow off the car once it's warmed up a bit. Not to mention that the locks often freeze and you can't get into the thing without applying heat somehow. Or that your frail human form might not desire to remain exposed to the cold any longer than necessary.
It's not free (by either definition), but it's the best thing for what you're talking about. It has a class-based language with similarities to Java and VB.NET but easier to learn, a simple 2D sprite engine that lets you write games immediately so you get positive feedback right away, and enough APIs to be able to do interesting things once you get somewhat sophisticated.
You're looking at this from the US perspective. In Russia, most of your list already exists:
Teachers Day: October 5 Medial Workers Day: Third Sunday of June Social Workers Day: Second Sunday of June Russian Science Day: February 8 Firemen's Day: April 30
In addition, Russia has commemorative days for public prosecutors, printed media, mass media, students, men, women, youth, mothers, tourists, elderly people, salesmen and service workers, police, geologists, cosmonauts, chemical industry workers, librarians, border guards, light industry workers, inventors, fishermen, postal workers, metallurgists, children's books, Slavic literature and culture, railroad workers, aviators, construction workers, miners, oil and gas workers, forestry workers, machinists and equipment workers, farmers, customs workers, automotive workers, security service workers, rescuers, power engineering specialists, and every concievable type of military workers.
Adding a Programmer's Day to this list is not particularly jarring or surprising.
I certainly agree that we will run out of IPv4 address space someday. But it doesn't look like that day is particularly imminent.
Consider that IANA currently has 28/8s marked as UNALLOCATED. That means they are sitting there ready to be used, but haven't been touched yet because they haven't been needed.
Consider that there are another 16/8s in the 240-254 range that could fairly easily be made usable. Non-CIDR routers are already broken by the modern Internet, so there should be few or zero devices that recognize this as Class E space and care what that means.
So there isn't that much pressure on the 20-or-so underutilized early assignments. If and when we get to the point where the slack is gone and the underutilized networks are the only way to get more address space, their IP ranges will by then be so valuable that they will be happy to sell them.
And by the time that happens, ISPs will already be selling web hosting accounts for $10/month on IPV6 or $50/month on IPV4. Which is what will finally drive IPV6 to the finish line, if anything does.

No, I hadn't actually tried it. Still, the 22 unallocated /8s might last long enough for the Class E space to become useful.
