JFK is not the busiest airport in the u.s. That would be Atlanta's hartsifeld international airport which is also the busiest airport in the world. There are 5 u.s. airports ahead of JFK by passengers per year.

This is indicative of the kind of mindset that led to the tragic train crash of 2005. A train was running 90 seconds behind, and under tremendous pressure from his superiors, the operator sped the train up and ended up derailing it. If it weren't for the new automatic brake systems installed, this would likely happen again (because I see no change in the culture)

I have to wonder if this will just go down as a temporary fad. Why people are unable to see the value in having an entire library's collection in the palm of their hand, with near instant access to any other book if desired, is beyond my comprehension. The only explanation I can come up with is it's a trend like organic food and vinyl.

Maybe e-readers are down even more than digital books in general because those who still do digital books prefer to just read on their existing phone or tablet. Personally I hope they don't stop making e-readers so this is sad news to me. To me, there's great value in electronic ink. I love taking my nook on long plane flights. I can read more books than anyone could pack, and I have a month of battery life. Then there's the direct sunlight thing....

On the other hand.... maybe it's just people like to be pretentious with their books. This could solve that problem

To what does the acronym GP refer?

Only not nearly as smart. This guy is the kind of person you go back in time to stop, in order to prevent some future catastrophe.

Is it in the heliopause, or past it? Is the cat alive or dead?

Glad somebody called him out on his lack of understanding

Although it may have some effect anyway, it would be great if NYC took the opportunity to reduce its light pollution at the same time. With lights that point down, they might be able to use even smaller LEDs, further saving money and decreasing time for ROI. The benefits to wildlife that are confused by the night lights and to citizens who might be able to see more of the wonder of the night sky are added bonuses.

Then they misunderstand. The reason why ISPs block port 80 incoming is not to block "servers" primarily to up-charge people. It's done to protect the internet from XP zombies which serve up ads. My ISP (cox) doesn't charge more for a business account than it does for a personal one. The need to specifically ask for a business account with no port blocking is there to ensure responsibility with viruses.

Maybe the reason the computers run windows is because some of the software they are using is something common, like a map program, which inevitably would have been written for windows. And if they aren't connected the the public internet, an antivirus program would have been unable to download its virus DB updates. Still, this is coming off looking very very bad. They followed the how-to on the kapersky website? Seriously that was their best move? Now they can't figure out why it's coming back? Everyone involved in this has huge egg on their face. They are coming off as supremely incompetent. Geez guys, pay me your government contractor rate to clean the place up. I'll run all the windows applications through wine or virtualbox in a linux environment, lock down network access with a fake proxy server, set up automatic daily software patches, and this will never happen again.
