Actually, not a bad idea (sort of). Add a door just aft of the front restroom and galley. Close and lock it and the cockpit door unlocks and remains unlocked. Flight crew have access to restroom and front galley. Crew returns to the flight deck and the outer door unlocks so passengers and cabin crew can access facilities.

Some work will have to be done to ensure no-one can hide in this area during the locking procedure.

Welcome to Slashdot. People arguing over topics for which they have no practical experience.

Spaghetti code is good.

With lots of meatballs.

If it can't be seized and placed under control of the military during times of war*, its not going into space. Gotta make sure we know the key people and which pieces we'll need to grab should we need to mount weapons on it and send it up.

*That means pretty much any time. As we are always conducting a War Against Something.

It cost them almost nothing.

By including various regulators in your correspondence, you might not get a remedy for your particular problem. But given enough complaints, the regulator might realize that there's a problem with a particular utility and act. Or some public interest group can obtain such correspondence through a FOIA and use it to support legal or legislative action.

Corporations know that most people can be disuaded by the argument that your individual complaint will get you nowhere. And on a case by case basis they are probably correct. But if they percieve it as one piece of evidence that builds up to some sort of class action, they might be more motivated to fix problems early.

They mob bald eagles that pass through my neighborhood and chase them off. It would be a simple matter to train them to knock down drones.

... are back. And now you can't ignore them.

Again, what does this have to do with net neutrality?

... Matthew Broderick could still find a way to log in to the system.

The thing is, this really is a freak occurance. So many flights, every single day, over every single city. People need to piss and shit, its simple biology. Every time someone goes for a piss break, someone else needs to be called in? That is just silly and insulting to the people involved.

In the grand scheme of things to worry about, this isn't really one of them. Its ridiculous to feel we need new regulations every time something happens...the next tragedy will always happen. It is inevitable.

In addition to all of the other evidence against this.... its rare that a person feints while in a seated position, its far more common while standing. A pilot, especially one alone in the cockpit is in a seated position. Also you are assuming that people who feint are representative of the population as a whole and of the population of active working pilots; where there is likely some medical self selection bias at work in both of those assumptions.

Also for the most part, both pilots can leave the cockpit, or take a nap, and the plane shouldn't crash. This isn't exactly a wright brother's special here, this is a modern commercial airliner.

There really isn't a lot of room here for an accident based on the TFAs claims

Your mistake. They have no problem lying to a customer's face. Conduct all correspondence by e-mail. And make sure the CCs to the state utilities commission, attorney general and FCC are clearly visible.

Except that frictionless spherical cows are not realistic even if they are very helpful in physics.

When is the last time you actually talked to raw hardware? if its recent, you are a special case, and likely write drivers....in which case, good for you.

When you write "to disk" you are working in memory because its going to be a buffered access, likely reads as well, especially if it is something you recently wrote.

Exceptions will exist but, they are exceptions to the rule.

Not true, not in the slightest. Google has fought hard to minimize the information they have to give to governments, and to be as transparent as the law will allow about what they do give. Remember that Google created the transparency report, and was the company that managed to negotiate permission to share aggregated data about National Security Letters. Many other companies have followed suit, but Google led the way.

No, Google has been shown to comply with legal requirements, and to fight questionable requests in court. Snowden also revealed that the NSA was tapping Google's fiber. Google responded by encrypting the data on that fiber.

Cite? Since Google is a publicly-traded company, it should be easy to point to that line item in their SEC filings.

No, told by the Chinese government to participate in government-mandated censorship or GFTO. Google participated for a while and then decided it wasn't what they ought to be doing, and so chose to GTFO of the biggest market on the planet (albeit one in which they had a small market share.
