Oh like a palm Lifedrive?

Most of Southern NH has this - along with the sensors at the edge of each road where it meets the intersection, there is usually another a couple hundred meters back, so the intersection knows you are a few seconds from arriving. If you're coming from the non-dominant road at night, and there is no other traffic, it will turn your light green before you reach the intersection (you do end up slowing down a little, but its better than nothing...)

NONE SHALL FLASH!

Most if the time they are not "directly" flying - they spend more time giving autopilot commands, so a bit of lag is just fine.

Those "Uncivilized Savages" happened to give us:
The Scientific Method, Fountain Pen, Windmills, irrigation, the first eye surgeries, mathematical proofs, numerous advances in algebra, calculus, geometry; they practically invented chemistry... It goes on and on.

Their current oppressive regime problems happen to date back to the 1870's to 1950's (and on until now) thanks to intervention by "Civilized nations" like France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Ottoman empire, while by today's standards not exactly enlightened, had an extremely effective method of dealing with diverse populations and religions within it own borders - Jews moved there to flee from Christian persecution in Spain, for example.

Get out in the world and learn a bit about the Middle East - Its an intensely fascinating place that has been the center of so many things and events in our world, and deserves better then "Uncivilized Savages".

can you explain this in a car analogy?

I find your coloney plan bologna! :-)

WOOSH!

Talk about PR backfire...

If your flying "general aviation" (private flying, non-commercial), then the answer is no. Once your in the air, the ATC doesn't talk with you. General Aviation does its own thing once their airborne. General Aviation pilots just have to stay out of restricted airspace that is used for commerical, controlled-by-ATC flights. As to filing a flight path, I'm not sure whether General Aviation has to do that or not, but I am pretty sure the FAA wouldn't give them a warning based on what they filed. It's up to the pilots to make sure the area they are going to be flying in is safe, not anyone else.

"I also put the 1983 storage and speeds in 2009 terms, for the benefit of the youngin's out there." We would thank you, but we're too busy getting off your lawn.

Even if hackers/governments were to bring down an Air traffic control system, the chances anybody would die are slim. At least in the USA, approach controls are still equipped with old-school battery radios, and will land the planes that way. Occasionally they do it this way now, from freak system outages, etc.

yes, I am a Middle East/Islam historian Stop spreading lies.

Some of what your saying is true for a very small subset of the Islamic faith. On the whole however you are very wrong. Read up on the Islamic concept of People of the Book. In a nutshell it states that Jews and Christians, because they are sons of Abraham, like Muslims, are not as pure as Muslims, but that conversion ISNT necessary. You put a link to Muslim conquests but you made the mistake of assuming that meant conversion. If you read the wiki link you posted, you might have noticed this

"for example Jews and Christians in Persia and Monophysites in Syria, were disloyal and sometimes even welcomed the Arab invaders, largely because of religious conflict in both empires."

Islam did not become at all violent against Christians or Jews until after the crusades. Even then, it was an effort for the Islamic leaders of the time to get their people to fight against Christians, even through they were BEING INVADED. Modern hatred towards the west is based upon the actions of our countries during the past 100 years, especially the creation of a Jewish state on land that had been peacefully Arab for 1400 years. Thanks for playing, through.

Hijackings prior to 9/11 did not usually involve the plane being used as a weapon itself. It's easy now to say "stupid passengers should have stopped them, stupid government should have shot them down" but the reality is that before 9/11 the best way to handle a hijacking was to let the hijacker do whatever he wanted, because the plane would eventually land, and then they could be arrested. Go read about some hijackings before September 11th, and you will see why.

Before 9/11 hijackers had goals that INVOLVED SURVIVING.
