Did you mean "exorbitant"?

That's the problem: they just bought most of the most popular platforms for those firmwares.

Do you have model numbers? I've never seen one.

I've had good success with 3 dissimilar monitors (small-wide-small) on Ubuntu 12.04 / fglrx. The irritations are pretty minor, and mostly involve the occasional dropdown dialog or maximize operation not going to the expected screen.

You neglect the fact that the manual was probably never rewritten in English. A machine-translation isn't necessarily comprehensible by even a technically literate English-speaker. EG, the installer's guide for my heat pump, which ambiguously instructs one to connect the 220V power lines to the 5VDC control input.

CFIT is nowhere near the leading cause of fatal accidents in general aviation.

It's pretty hard to find statistics for combined civil aviation, please post a link if you can find one.

I'll consider it fit as soon as I an drag an attachment to the desktop. It's been a bug for four years and counting now.

Oops. Meant to post under my userid:

A "minor" release (and don't state it like it's a fact just yet) from an earthquake more powerful than design criteria does not make me think "Nuclear Power is Safe" nor even "Nuclear Power is Unsafe." It makes me question the design assumptions. Never mind what was known at the time. With benefit of hindsight, the design assumptions were clearly wrong.

So. Given what we know now, is it a correct assumption to pay the extra required, such that at-risk plants be designed to tolerate common-cause failures devolving from a magnitude 9.0 quake and related tsunami? That's really one for risk analysis economists to decide, but the consequences of failure are so unbelievably expensive, that my knee-jerk assumption suggests that it is not. The big problem is that the consequences are so expensive that they cannot be other than mostly externalized.

Seems like the real solution is a bluetooth keyboard and a hi-res HMD. One finally exists; the ITG-PCX3D has 1024x768 resolution... but nobody seems to be making a phone that can drive it.

No mod points, sorry. But you deserve one in every category plus a few that they don't have yet.

You're missing one important vector.

Seconded. I use Unison between Linux and OSX with no trouble, and used Win32 in the past as well. It isn't perfect, but it's closest by a wide margin.
