But, does it bend? After all, that's the point behind fiberoptics, to be able to snake a light beam around corners and through tight spaces so that we don't have to maintain perfect optical alignment over a distance. So, what's the point of this setup? Does it keep moths away by burning them on the outer beams?
This isn't a case of the U.S. reaching across a border. Microsoft is _here_. Microsoft is doing business _here_. The court _here_ is ordering microsoft _here_ do produce documents _here_. Microsoft's claims that the docuements are "in their other pants" (e.g. on a server in Ireland) is immaterial because microsoft is _here_ and _microsoft_ owns those documents.
But what if, under Irish law, that data cannot leave Ireland without Ireland's say-so. Then it becomes a case of the court _here_ is ordering microsoft _here_ do produce documents _that-are-not-here_.
Perhaps because they already sent one probe to Jupiter, and another is en-route.
Pluto is already sad and dejected from being demoted from planetary status. Must you compound its misery by having all the probes crowd around the "popular" planets like paparazzi?
I'll believe it when I see it. Besides that, there's the power requirements. My phone needs to be charged daily, whereas my e-ink Kobo can go for a month between charges. Granted, the Kobo is monochrome and is only switching between pages. whereas the cell phone is contacting cell towers periodically, and such, but still, the display on the phone eats up an extraordinary amount of energy.
The problem of OLED is that it cannot compete with sunlight. So you can't see your display outside. We need full color e-ink, or something similar; a reflective/refractive or absorbive technology rather than an emmissive one.
It doesn't matter. In the UK, you face jail time for not turning over passwords... even if you can prove you never had them. If the cops think that a photo has steganographically hidden data, you must produce the decryption key, or face jail time. If some anonymous so and so sends you a floppy disk, or USB stick, you must produce the decryption keys to any files on it.
Let me bring up the subject of the entire story: "Airbus Patents Windowless Cockpit That Would Increase Pilots' Field of View". So what is the point in bringing up a plane as an example of a windowless cockpit when it clearly has cockpit windows?
--Agreed, except when the glass is hit by a laser, or covered with ice/snow/birdsplat/debris...
All of those would take out a camera as well, with a window having the benefit that one can simply shift one's head and see out beside the birdsplat/ice/debris/whatever. Straight-Outta-Luck with the laser, with both systems though.

... or at least until after take-off.

Because AC is a consumer standard? There are no consumer standard for DC power, other than AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V.
... Okay, and car cigarette lighters and microUSB.
Just because that is so does not mean that the government can order the company to do something that is illegal in another jurisdiction.
In No metric is the USA a leader
Right. No other country has the lead in "no metric".
Are you aware of a jurisdiction where compelling someone to break the law is legal?
I would never voluntarily pay more tax than I am legally required.
Really? What if you could direct where a voluntary overpayment went (NASA for example)?

But ultimately yes: the USA government has the right to tell a USA corporation to violate the laws of another country.
... and presumably the USA government (or agents thereof) can thus be held on conspiracy charges in those other countries.
exploded the instant it touched the water.
How would that not make the highlight reel for the launch?
Because nobody was there to film it?
Speaking of planes, could this help us find Malaysian Air 370?
"my Mum had sex. At least once because, you know, I'm here"
Not really, you could be adopted or the result of artificial insemination. It's far from clear.
Could even be a 'bot for all we know.

Actually, modern OLED screens are fine outside.

So not only are you completely wrong to say if you can prove you don't have a key you can be jailed for it...
I refer you to my sig. Thanks for your cooperation.

This is England. The Fifth Amendment doesn't apply. Period.
The big box stores are full of 3D televisions. Depth perception is not an issue.

What's that in the door of the cockpit... oh,yeah! A window. FAIL!
Perhaps what they should do is put lights along the runway.
in aviation, and life, you should always have an analog back up whenever possible
Right! Anyone know where I can get an interface for a Commodore 1530 and about 20 gigs worth of C-120 cassette tapes?
There are no display systems more reliable than a plate of glass.
