Comment Again?!?!!? (Score 1) 97

"A sinkhole about 40 feet wide — and 30 feet deep — opened up inside the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY early Thursday morning, swallowing eight vehicles that were sitting inside. At least one of these cars is one of a kind, and due to its location the fire department allowed its removal. The sinkhole is remarkable in that it has left the surrounding ground which supports the circular structure intact, although that assessment may change up on investigation. Security footage from inside the museum shows the collapse as it happened."

Wow, this happened again on Thursday morning, just 1 day after it happened on Wednesday? That place is starting to look like swiss cheese!

I don't like cell phone use on an airplane any more than the next guy, I also don't feel like it is congresses job nor right to pass such a law. Airplanes are private property, owned by a private company. It should be left to the company to decide whether to allow cell phone usage on the plane or not. I don't understand how this isn't common sense.

Umm.. no. One set of devices is sent to the FCC for approval. They test it and then approve it or not.

Something GE changed, or faulty production did not produce a product that was similar to what was submitted to the FCC. They (GE) are aware of the problem, and have a procedure to replace them. Now whether it is the building or GE that covers the costs of actually replacing them is between them, but usually they won't. They will send correctly working parts, but not cover the labor involved with the actual replacement.

The FCC is funded by government taxes, which is paid for me, well, us. Why would we pay for a device that GE manufactured defectively? Really.
