What in the world are you talking about? Very few connections are hardwired, almost everything has a plug, usually, a rotary cam-lock plug from Cannon, etc.
Do you think they solder all the avionics in place?
They know their audience well. Both of them thought this was a good question.
No! Most likely, it would have incinerated the parking brake in seconds. That would have been preferable to the other possibility, that is, locking up the rear wheels and spinning out.
That parking brake is NOT an emergency brake unless you are going very slowly and very carefully use it.

On the surface, Paul says a lot of things I would generally agree with. Once you dig for a while, you find a lot of stuff that is utterly loony/suicidal. The Pualbots are even more absurd.
He loses for a reason.
Many good reasons that this is a bad idea already listed. However I would also note that in my quaint notion of how the Federal government is supposed to work, the Executive Branch doesn't make the laws, so asking the Obama Administration to make this legal doesn't even make sense. They can write their Congressman, except, oops, they are all trying to remain Anonymous.
the only good thing about GIMP is that it's free. Otherwise it's torturous to use. No way is it a real competition to photoshop (which is slightly less torturous) Yes, I know I could go in and help fix it but my first step would be to delete all the code.

It'a being overstated in the most hyperbolic way possible, so it will have this effect.
However, remove the hyperbole and this does appear to be a very significant expansion of scope. The leftist need to exert control and disdain of the constitutional protects is evident all over. This sort of expansion of role appears to clearly violate the Frouth Amendment, We are in a mad rush to further impinge the second amendment to "save the children" even though the venue for the most recent mass shooting was a "gun-free zone" already. We have, as recently as yesterday, had elected officials suggest that certain political groups (i.e. conservatives) should have their First amendment rights restricted. The abuse of the Tenth Amendment is rampant and effectively being used to infer that Federal government action is effectively unlimited. All of these "Expansions" are in diametric disagreement with the Ninth Amendment, as the right provisions of the Constitution are being interpreted (as is suits the arguers) as the sole rights granted, which is certainly not the intent.
Best of all, the alleged "Paper of Record" for the US, in reality a parochial leftist mouthpiece/propaganda organ, the holy New York Times, has published a screed that suggests we dispense with the Constitution entirely, as "inconvenient". This was the intent, to make it "inconvenient" on those politicians who wish to impose tyranny (like the TSA represents).
Unless and until legal action puts a stop to this nonsense, we are headed right down the road suggests.
People have been pushing this sort of foolishness since the beginning of the space age. Man under zero g would panic because he is falling, his heart would stop, it would cause him to suffere sever vertigo, etc. Virtually all of it has proved to be nonsensical, the few exceptions were not predicted ahead of time. If it was left to people like you, we would still be living in fear of steam engines or fast horse rides.
Does it run on my Kin?
Mandalay, I've come aflame again!
Panda blood works OK, by I prefer golden lion tamarind placenta, with a dash of powdered black rhino horn and an eye of newt chaser.
Actually, forget slashdot. And the blackjack.
Exactly on point
