Since you cannot seem to understand obvious disagreement and agreement I shall point out the following:

You do not understand what he said.

You do not understand that you do not understand what he said.

You follow up with a misunderstanding of your complete lack of understanding of what was said.

If you provide me with your patient number, I will route your handlers to your location to pick you up and take you back to your facility.

You must not know many Americans. One third of them are stupid enough to do whatever the guy next to them tells them to and another third know that the evil terrorist is going to kill them anyway, while the other third are going to panic.

It has been ingrained into the social consciousness in the US that you will absolutely die if you let the terrorist take the plane and you only *might* die if you resist.

How, pray tell, are you going to maneuver your massive bulk through the swarming throng of people in front of you who are convinced they're about to die and the only thing that stands between them and the only chance possible of continued life, and health insurance for their children, is to smear the guy being tasered by the air-marsal with their carry-on-luggage?

If you had only been blessed with the sense that was given unto the common Anvil you would understand that the universe of discourse is 'United States Hijackings' and that your link, while very linky, is completely useless, providing nothing in the way of contextual information.

You do understand that over 12,000 pilots flying commercial, passenger, aircraft carry firearms, right? That there exists a peep-hole in the door? That they are not actually flying the plane unless it is taking off or landing?

So yes, in your fantasy scenario, assuming the terrorist is not beaten to death with a scared father's laptop, or incapacitated with the taser of the air-marshal, somehow gets let into the cockpit (the pilots fully-aware of what is going on as they have had a chance to look) and it is an un-lucky chance that these particular pair of pilots is not packing...The terrorist will still get an escape-ax to the base of the spinal cord while focusing on one or the other (an Axe is standard equipment on *every* cockpit, to enable the pilots to shatter the glass, if necessary)

You must be a retarded, moronic, mouth-breathing, moron-of-morons, cared over by other like-minded fud-slinging, twit-talking, swill of bastardized, twice-removed-actually-smart people, if you think that the American people will sit still for what is, in their minds, certain death anyway.

An 8 and 1/2 by 11 note-pad to collect my thoughts and good notes.

One single, very short, power-point presentation to satisfy management.

Thereafter, inspiration atop persperation, with the illumination of the congregation caused by instantiation of what was really asked for using the perpetuation of the prior derivation as a starting point...

The major problem is that at the point of death (or at least, brain-death) is that the dendrites of the neurons detach from the axons of the surrounding neurons at about a rate that is the square of the of the difference over time of the inverse of temperature loss...meaning, by the time you slice-and-dice, the important bit (that is, the bits, rather...the connections and pathways that make you...well, you...are gone).

It's usually a bad idea for the police to meddle in the affairs of the members of the judiciary and/or legislative body. For instance, near my hometown in Cleveland, a cop pulled over one of the members Of the state legislature and gave him a ticket. Said legislator introduced a bill, the next week, requiring that all municipalities in the state must have, in order to patrol the highways within their jurisdiction, x size of population and y amount of highway running through it (something like, greater than a mile or two). The town in question only had a quarter mile of highway. They also realized something like 75-85 percent of their income via speeding tickets...all gone...

I would say to your small business : "Welcome to the fashion industry son. At least everyone knows you did it first now."

Mostly oblivious. A Chinese co-worker of mine constantly confuses the he/she him/her hers/his thing, for example he will say things like "My mother doesn't like his apartment."
But yeah, unless you're speaking of something that has a proper gender, and usually only if it has a given name (i.e. dogs, cats, people, etc.) then pronoun gender is used.

(Also personally-piloted conveyances (cars, planes, trucks, etc.) are usually named in the feminine...Guns too, sometimes. Anything anthropomorphized maybe?)

We are. We are called "Apex-SuperPredators" , or Super-SuperPredators.

The bottom line, no matter which way you slice it, is that a transistor (in the realm of digital integrated circuits) is on (voltage high) or off (voltage low). Zero or One.

In the end, it all boils down to different ways of ensuring certain points at certain times in a certain ordered fashion are high or low, on or off.

Software is the ordered way by which one tells the circuitry when and how to be on or off.

It does not matter if you use 'Foo' or 'Bar' or 'C' or 'Perl' or Flash or what have you. It is all the same in the end.

Saying one is the 'one true way' is stupid, especially when there exist many a formally logically-equivalent way to do any of it.

Apple's devices are not special. They're digital computers troweled over with maybelline and no amount of marketing can change this concrete truth.

The fact that Jobs or apple, or whomever-the-hell is trying to state that 'Thou shalt not use @X to make our transistors change states' is just fucking stupid.

There, fixed that for you...

Don't be afraid to blow stuff up. Hell, in all the best books/articles I've read about the very first thing the authors have you do is blow up an LED. Get used to it.

Sure, If by murder you mean that there exists a cheap, reliable, infinitely replicable means of copying a human being and your hitman killed instantiation 2047. Big woop.

I should also point out that he received no (zero) renumeration for his offhand, casual, action that he probably forgot about within several seconds of doing so.
