The Supreme Court already made their stance on the exact Affiliate issue known: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quill_Corp._v._North_Dakota

"Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, 504 U.S. 298 (1992) is a Supreme Court ruling concerning use tax. Quill Corporation is an office supply retailer. Quill had no physical presence in North Dakota (neither a sales force, nor a retail outlet), however it did have a licensed computer software program that some of its North Dakota customers used to check Quill's current inventories and place orders directly. North Dakota attempted to impose a use tax on Quill, which was struck down by the Supreme Court."

This is correct as far as the response of the glass instruments, but remember that the airplane includes a full suite of primitives (pitch indication, among others).

The trained response for an Airbus pilot of this aircraft in a loss of awareness is to neutral the plane. Set the throttles to 85% N1 and point the aircraft at +5 degrees. This is the neutral position for that Airbus and will keep a safe altitude and speed until the platform returns. The pilots were trained to do this.

Except that is entirely different. That is mostly what google street view does (except expanded with view bubbles). That is simply a long panorama. Google Street View is a panorama + 360 view bubbles.

Street Slide takes Street View-like view bubbles and intelligently stitches them back into a panorama for getting a good spatial map of an area. Then when you need to zoom back in, it pushes you into the correct bubble. It is much easier for a person to view and use than either of the previous models.

Steam did not include an offline option when it launched. You could not play HL2 without steam. Even if you got the CD version you had to install steam to authenticate it and then have steam running to play it.

That's kinda like real life, you know. Not many pure right, pure good, or pure wrong people. Lots of bad motivations with good results, the opposite, and every flavor in between.

One might say that this form of non-simplistic characterization is exactly why this movie should be praised.
