So, which telecom company do you work for? This game is easy.

That term has a specific meaning related to the government

O RLY?

I mean, SRSLY?

It’s like religion, but without as much power. Kinda like a predecessor.

The only revelation that ever stunned me, was the following:
I was still a teenager, and I read in the German computer magazine PC Welt about Nostradamus and what of that “actually happened” in the computer area.
And one prediction for the very close future was, that a new OS would come, to rule the world. Something big.
Mind you that was long before Linux (created 1991-92) was even remotely mainstream. I constantly read computer magazines, and know that it was not mentioned once or known.
They joked that maybe Nintendo would create a Yoshi OS. (Super Mario World, the first game to feature Yoshi, was released in 1990-91. Which gives you a feeling of when this was written.)

Years later, when I heard more and more about Linux, and even IBM started to pick it up, I started to realize that this was that OS!
Doesn’t mean anything, but somehow that was such a moment that really made me think. Like: Was he an Alien and/or time traveler from the future? ;)

To this day I wish I could get that article back. I know it was in the summer as we were at the beach. But the oldest issues they have in their archive are from 2007. So if you got an old archive from maybe 1990-92, please contact me! :)

Thanks, but no thanks. "Gunpal" just doesn't sound all that professional, and I don't think I want to give my money to an organisation affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Worse, the CEO is a gun distributor.

At least PayPal doesn't pretend to have ethics and morals.

Personally, I use FastSpring because although they charge 9%, they also eat the chargeback risk of the transactions so long as my business is on the straight and level.

The problems here are not about mechanical being safer (it isn't.) But about simpler is much easier to make safe. Toyota is doing thing like adaptive shift logic, cruise control, traction control, taking out shock of things like Air Conditioners, etc. Having this many inputs makes it difficult, not to mention they replace a single linkage with a system that reads the pedal position sends it to a ECM that does lots of other things as well, then sends it to a servo motor, that moves a mechanical air restriction valve, then air flow is read by a MAF sensor that then determines fuel based on RPM, and finally injects the right amount of fuel.
My Diesel has electronic throttle that is much simpler, it reads the throttle, with RPM+boost it determines injection. Being a manual I do have a mechanical override right their as well, it's simplicity should make it much easier.
All this said, the ability to do multiple pickups with a electronic throttle and thus throw faults without any "oh shit" warnings like you describe is a big advantage of electronic, if done right. I have worked on vehicles with electronic throttles for the past 13 years (on Diesel) they can be replaced in a minute, with little skill set, they self tune, they keep a log of what went wrong, and on the systems I work on, you can click a few buttons on a display to show the actual reading and verify the whole system without leaving the drivers seat, they can easily be moved to the best position in the cab without linkage redesign, concern for what stress goes into what linkage, or heat, frozen water penetration, etc, etc.
