Really? How many people were killed by redneck gunfire? And how much of that was accidental vs. malicious? I'm really curious.
In the US, gun control is a big issue. Mostly it's white people who don't want black people to shoot them. The rednecks are sort of caught in the middle of the debate, and generally live in different locales.
So, procedure to line up with the runway, at the right distance, height and speed, verifying the runway is in sight is such a fundamental part of flying it's not in the checklist.
The checks I listed are all the things you could conceivably forget (and have been, to bad effect).
One of my start up checks is to lower the flaps in stages, checking the two sides are even. Always seemed like a waste of time to me, but I'll be thinking of your grandfather's experience from now on....
Brakes, undercarriage, mixture, flaps, fuel, altimeter, FUCKING CABIN SECURITY, landing light. That's how you get ready for landing any plane.
Cabin security means no loose items, everything is strapped down or stowed, everybody is fucking wearing shoes, has moderate situational awareness and is ready for emergency procedures like brace for impact, evacuation or fire.
Humphrey Davey called it Aluminum... and some jerk in a British publication reviewed his work and said "Aluminium" sounded more Latin. From then onward... chaos.
The wind will be steady from the east at speeds approaching 3,000 m/s (6,000 mph). Daytime temperatures will average a balmy 800C (1500F), while the equatorial hot spot at 30 degrees longitude is expected to top 900C (1700F).
That is off topic. The topic is about Sony finally improving their security posture (a good thing).
The GP is suggesting improving their security posture is a worse idea than not pissing people off in the first place. I think that since they need to improve their security either way... it's immaterial whether or not they know how to run the rest of their business properly.
That is complete bullshit. Good students will have a thirst for knowledge no matter how bad their teacher is.
Students make their education good or bad. In the USA, they can read and have access to the library, and now Wikipedia.
I don't speak for children who are malnourished or live in violent environments... those are cases where I believe the students are genuinely pretty challenged to succeed.
1. The laptops carry sensitive data. Treating them as hostile is a good start, but it in no way validates leaving the user to install his own malware/crapware, etc.
2. IT departments are pretty good about patching Windows/MS Office etc. It's the little 3rd party applications and homegrown software that is being left in the dust. This was carried on/. a few weeks back.

I think most Americans who own guns (I'd estimate 10%) have them for recreation, not defense.
Do you know anybody shot by an American gun enthusiast or redneck? If so, my sincere condolences.

Looking out the window is actually a critical part of situational awareness.
Yeah. Brakes undercarriage mixture fuel pump, flaps, altimeter, radio call, cabin security landing light.
Oh, and my foul mouthed point was: people talking on the phone are not prepared to deal with an emergency.

Wikipedia says "sulphur" was used in England since the 14th century. It was from the French word soufre.
and... Sulfer is not a word.

I am ready to quit Slashdot. Is there another slashcode site with nerd news?
This really makes me CRAZY. "Lady found a three foot alligator (0.9144 m) in her bathtub!" What the fuck is wrong with one meter in this case???
What is this 9656, 1472, 1652 bullshit? COME ON.
Why not:
That's the way "popularity" works. That's not the way "security" works.
That is off topic. The topic is about Sony finally improving their security posture (a good thing).

The number is completely fabricated.

How about... aspire to Engineering? Oh, they can already aspire to that. Oh well.
What do you propose they do... kill all the would-be attackers?
At last count there are over 640K bugs! That ought to be enough for any organisation.
In the United Kingdom this is pretty standard.
That is retarded. Why?

Wow, do you really drive a Chevette?
How much is an "incredible amount" of air? Can someone possibly explain this "air floating" concept in terminology of cars? Thanks.
Are you a creationist, too? "It's just COMMON SENSE!!1" isn't it.
