Weight (still an issue), size and power.

And why should they? There are more dangerous things about flying than feeding a NMEA stream from one system into the other through, let's say, a serial connection that has Rx cut.

Is the in-flight entertainmeny system able to show that world map with the cute little plane that indicates the planes position?

I doubt they have someone copying the updeted position from the avionics system to a USB-stick, unplug it from there and plug it into the entertainment system to update position data every few seconds...

There goes your "completly, physically seperate".

Heck yeah, it's trivial to make such a connection reliably one-way only, but even then, "physically seperate" would be an outright lie.

Bar trivias work bestg when you're sitting with your friends around a table. No gadgets or anything.

8 rounds, 10 questions each, 8 sheets of paper.

When you have test cars that are being tested as much as possible and on the road as much as possible, the average incident rate will be several times higher than the rate of an average car that sits in the driveway most of the day.

Wave at the guy in the 3rd car.

So, you're generalizing from one system to all self-driving cars?

That some of those cars (Google) rely more on external maps than others (BMW iirc, or whatever was driving at the last DARPA-Challange) isn't even imaginable?

Of course none of them is driving blindly without checking that their path isn't obstructed by pedestrians or other cars, but I heard too that the Google car is the most advanced system, but also the one depending most on exact maps for speed limits, traffic lights and so on.

And what's with scissors?

Well, what would you do with a photo of yourself? Where's the difference?

I heard there are even whole familys having their likenesses captured in awkward situations and sent it out to friends and family. especially around Christmas time. 2D, 3D where's the difference?

Well, you really should look up the literal meaning of "Symposium"

But were those laurel wreaths not for greek olympionikes and roman ceasars?

I thought it was called Ballmer peak...

From what I read on this. No.

The "mobile friendly" check won't be checking for a browser switch or dedicated mobile site, but do a test rendering and check stuff as minimum font default height on mobile devices or minimum button size. Load times and filesizes are already factored in the current search, as much as I know.

What's the value of a brand if it means something else to everyone? It would become a non-brand like "water", that's something else to each one, too. Or if "CocaCola" suddenly to some one would mean "orange juice".

I agree.

Back at university, our dorm was over 100 years old, and in my home town, just a few weeks ago, a restaurant has been closed and sold that has been run by the same family for almost 120 years.

You're mixing up "historic" and "antique".

Yes, antique is old, but history is made every day. World Wars I & II, Great depression, Civil rights movement, Cold war, Fall of the Warsaw Pact... All that is history! Even though it happend after 1915.

Heck we have historicans and archeologist digging up and recovering the remains of escape tunnels below the German/German-border because they are part of history and considered historically important! And they can still ask the people who dug them for help.

I remember company presentations that announced exactly such a system, but I never saw it acutally build.

It may be viable in newly build neighborhoods if you can build the freight tunnel along with all other underground works.
