Section IV, Paragraph 2 of the Apple End User License Agreement clearly states that Apple will "...maintain full or partial control (at its sole discretion) of any country, state, or municipality using Apple software, or any software acquired through the App Store (tm) to draft any founding documents, constitution, collective bargaining proposal, or policy on bottled water usage."

As a pilot I can tell you that I hear "over" only about once a year, and only when someone is repeating themselves trying to see if the other party can hear them. Also this technology would take literally decades to work into all aircraft. Aircraft last for decades themselves, and people are not that fast to upgrade.Aviation is about what is proven to work, not the latest and great bleeding edge technology.

Well, yes... this is just poor planning o the FAA's part.I don't trust GPS to always be available. Of course your ADF can still be used to listen to AM radio (or find your way to a good radio tower...)

As a pilot I would be concerned about GPS degradation (we get reports of it). This could lead to a number of issues with aircraft navigation, especially for pilots flying VFR with handheld units that do not have RAIM. (The FAA says those are for situational awareness only, but that is frequently abused.)

Oh great! Now Sony will subpoena all of /.'s web logs and sue all of ./'s readers for disseminating the key.

I had 5 of 25 machines crash last night. Could this be related? (Yes, I am serious...)

I bet you could rack mount a couple servers in the trunk (1U). Fastest datacenter on Earth.

There's always some bozo who has to go and throw away my lunch. Who are they to judge the malodoressness of my victuals??

Not sure about goats, but cow flatulence is a major source of methane, an even worse greenhouse gas than CO2. I guess we can't so anything right. We are doomed

I did not get any type of joke. Seemed like a legitimate post to assert that someone would want to steal copper wiring, as this happens all the time given the recent price of copper (especially last year). Perhaps you are implying that the original poster knew that the fiber was made of glass when he/she suggested the theft of copper? If so I did not see any way to tell this. Please explain the joke as you see it. I tend to get most jokes, and didn't find much humorous is the original post.

Perhaps you want to think about that question... When they say fiber they don't mean lots of little copper fibers... Them fibers is glass!

Interesting timing for this report to come out right as Obama is asking for draconian emergency powers to be able to shut off the internet and other private networks at will without regard for any law. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/obama-shut-down-internet-legislation,7478.html

Oh, must be in the wrong thread...
