The main role of a pilot is to handle failure of some parts of the aircraft. There is a huge number of stories where the pilots have been incredibly creative and have found ways to save desperate situations. IMHO, if the pilot does not risk his life, he may be less inspired.
The only thing I expect from a desktop it to get out of my way. Most of my work is using applications like chrome or open-office that are the same on windows or linux. Most of Windows specific programs (like photoshop) work out of the box in wine. My PC is secured with ssh. I can share directories my the PC of my wife (also using ubuntu) using ssh-fs. If I have left a document I am working on at home, I can wake up my pc from internet and access it. If I want to download a youtube video, it is as simple as typing install youtube-dl. With docker, I can install different programming ecosystems in different images. NFS configuration for my NAS disk is straight forward without clicking insane checkboxes like in windows.
I agree that the desktop is nicer in Windows but once you stop trying to do on linux what you used to do in windows, your productivity increases incredibly. Command line is fare more effective than mouse as soon as you have a repetitive task you can automate.
A brutal brake to avoid a pedestrian may become a medium threat to the passenger. Will you reduce the strength of the brake at the expense of hitting pedestrians to avoid hurting passengers ? We are handling probabilities, no absolute certitudes.
What is called "Wasteful algorithms" is not bad programming but another way to present a good old programming practice: "premature optimization is the root of all evil".
I think the main rule is: "It is ok to violate rules as long as you know that you are violating a rule, you know why you are violating it and you know the problems you may face".
"if three or more lines extend from a single point to the edge of a circle, then the point is the center of the circle and the straight lines are the radii". Could someone reformulate this in english to give it some meaning ?
cpm is fully supported in Linux. (see http://linux.die.net/man/5/cpm). Even without cpm filesystem support, you just need to use dd to copy the disk, then launch an emulator for a cpm system. I have used turbo pascal on amstrad 6128 thanks to cpm. In linux world, reading a cpm disk is really a non issue.
When I was student (around 1992), I have worked remotely using vi and a text terminal (minitel) using 1200 bauds modem. I have also used export DISPLAY between locations separated by 500 km. It was far more usable than nowadays with ADSL. I think Microsoft has worked a lot to avoid that this kind of features arrives on Windows. I hope this will become mainstream quickly. But, damn! 25 years!
she has succeeded in changing the image of the society. It was hopelessly dying. Now, it is still not very healthy, but the reputation has improved a lot. Such a success in a society where shareholders are such dicks, I think she is really strong. If the stupid shareholders fire Marissa Meyer, I close my yahoo email account and I remove my bookmarks on yahoo.
hardware encryption are also a way to fight against open source. First, special drivers have to be develop to handle the features. Second, it suggest that the encryption is handled by the hardware and that there is no benefit in having the OS providing better encryption.
When Oracle has bought sun, all their prices have increased by 100%. If sun had increased its prices by 100% a couple of years before, it may still be there.
I am contractant in a society where many staff people are doing a lot of sport. I do not much exercise and I am almost never on leave because of sickness (2 days in 20 years). There are many accidents in sports. Many sportiv people have to go to the doctor or to the kine often during the work time. There are most probably health benefits of doing exercise, but it is far from obvious that this gives any financial return for the employer. And when employees leave on retirement, they will most probably cost longer.
I do not know why employers seeking sportiv employees is a so widely accepted mantra. I have never seen a serious study that proves there are any benefits.
I have never encountered any bug using my old version of photoshop with wine. The main issue is to configure the desktop (gnome in my case) to not hijack the alt key.
At my work, they are blocking a lot (using bluecoat filter). Results: I have squid running in the cloud,I am connected via a ssh tunnel and chrome shortcut has the option --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:xxxx to bypass entirely the entreprise block. Many people have similar work arounds.
At a previous job, there was almost no block, but the intranet was giving a link to a page where we could monitor the time spend on all the websites during the month. I think this kind of monitoring (added to the usual signature of a policy chart) is a good deterrent for all abuses.
Filtering software are smarter and smarter. They are expensive, people complain. And they are an invitation to find work arounds. I think its best to get rid of them.

The town that provides streets that help burglars to come to visit my house is helping them far too much for my taste ;-)
The dumbphone is more secure because it contains almost nothing. IMHO, we need dumbphone with good battery, good 4G and excellent tethering.
You just need to have one pilot for many aircraft.

that would contain only the projects censured by DMCA.
technology can prevent shooting, but as an aside, we would lose also democracy and freedom. Welcome 1984.

To take into account the traffic jam near Paris, you should count the road fatalities per vehicle-hour. ;-)

I get the error:

Is there a new address to use ?
That concord has failed for two reasons: american protectionism and petrol crisis.
