Sure they can. They can license it out for this particular statue. Once it's licensed, there's no dilution.

And yes, I know 24 is fictional (and *bad* fiction, when it comes to tech)

Funny.... But I actually complained about that when they did it on 24 with the "magic ATC hacking box". Pilots aren't robots, if they see they're about to collide, they'll avoid it. Now there's another mechanism for the 3vil h4xx0rz to use.

But seriously. What happens when the video crashes (I guess the plane will, too), or gets hacked (and don't give me any bullshit about "airgapped")?

I actually did some minor volunteer work for the Anderson campaign in '80. He ran as an Independent, not as a Libertarian.

For all intents and purposes, "all intensive purposes" is illiterate. Which begs the question, "is anyone literate enough to notice, much less care?

There. FTFY.

On the plus side, though, they did give us Terrence and Phillip.

I seem to recall that someone did a FOSS port of KQ IV for Windows.

Every time one of them opens his/her mouth.

T-Mobile has a pay-as-you go SIM. I think AT&T does, too.

The main problem I have with Eclipse is its insistence on putting absolute paths into .project and .cproject files.

Makes it difficult to clone a project, or have it in source control.

Back in '83, a friend challenged me to remove a file name "-rf *, without causing collateral damage.

Now that would be great! Kind of like the way that RMS turned copyright against itself with the GPL

Besides, the trailer parks will spontaneously generate tornadoes, inside the walls.

Uh, Gene *IS* an expert. He was one of the first guys to dissect the Morris worm, for example. He's been around from the beginning.

Maybe you should go FIND a fuck to give.

I worked Crusader for a while. I seem to recall that it was designed for Cold War, specifically a REFORGER scenario.

The collapse of the Warsaw Pact, and specifically the fall of the Soviet Union kind of made it useless, because it was too heavy to fight anywhere else.
