As I understand it, the computer is able to override manual inputs by the pilots if it thinks (erroneously or not) that the plane is going to stall. As Todd Walter pointed out above, the solution to that is to pull the circuit breaker for the computer and fly the plane manually. Knowing what...

I'd just like to point out that he didn't say "brought back to idle", he said "you're at zero thrust". As I'm sure you're aware, there is a big difference between the two, idle being, well, idle, and zero thrust meaning the engines are still spooled up enough to maintain speed, without...

For my next project, I'm going to figure out a way to turn baby shit into hair extensions. I expect to be a multi-millionaire by Xmas.

The really stupid part about this is that cities don't make their main income from sales tax on lunch, they make it on property taxes. If Google et al were to give the Bay area the finger and move to Nevada, SF would look like NYC in the 70's within a year. It's already on the way with all of...

I don't think he/she "meant" anything by it, it was a joke, intended to get a chuckle from those who got it and have a sense of humor. You obviously didn't and/or don't.

Sounds like a Chewbacca defense to deflect attention away from the (minor) uproar caused by Apple refusing to fix Linus Sebastian's iMac Pro. Or maybe this is intended to be worn as entertainment while you're commuting in an equally improbable flying Uber...thing.

Big problem with this: All governments have realized by now that companies like Facebook and Google are doing a massive amount of civil espionage for them, for free, legally. There's no way they'll tell them to stop, they just want to figure out how they can force said companies to share that...

Almost as much fun as watching Prime run....... .

People still buy movies on DVD? Especially shite like this that you'll watch once and then throw in the garage sale pile?

Just another Uber scam to generate venture capital investment $$, there's no way this will be cleared for use by the FAA or law enforcement in five years, if ever. There's a reason aircraft take off and land at airports and not any flat spot they want. Just imagining the air traffic control...

Looks like I'm going to have to keep plugging away with my ATI 7970, which kind of sucks because it can't handle some of the games I play very well. Not that I can afford a new high-end GPU anyway, at least until the virtual "currency" fad finally tanks. (Edit to fix the GPU model, not sure...

All ethical nonsense* aside, this sounds like a great theme for a game: GTA 6 - Autonomassacre! *If you let your car drive you into a wall while you text, work, masturbate, whatever, don't blame the car. It's just proving how smart it is by removing your idiot genes from the gene pool.

I thought only white people could be racists, or does that only apply when it fits the SJW agenda?

A little late to the party, but as someone who drove for Lyft full-time for a year and a half (Aug 2016-Dec 2017) I can say from first hand knowledge that drivers can make as much as $30 per hour (after expenses are factored in) if they're smart about where and how they drive. I lived in San...

Part of the reason batteries are so expensive, relative to gas, is that the US government subsidizes gasoline production and doesn't (as far as I'm aware) do the same for battery production. With politicians in the pocket of petroleum manufacturers, that's not going to change any time soon.

If the B-52 is still an effective weapon, the A-10 should be on the Air Force all-star team. Kind of like the C-130, there's nothing better for the job and it's WAY cheaper to maintain and upgrade than to develop a new system just to say you have a new system. Not only that, but the boots on...

Simple solution: Download and install FF 55.03 in a different folder than FF 57.0 (your extensions, bookmarks, etc should all be moved to it automatically), make sure you set it to "never check for updates", then uninstall FF 57.0

I'd guess there are still pay phones in rural areas and small towns with poor or no cell service. Do they still have entire walls of them at airports? I know they used to, but I haven't paid attention enough to notice them in the past 10 years.

Uber and Lyft are SO full of shit with their "projections", there is no way they can even jump through the regulatory hoops to get this kind of service approved in two years, much less build the necessary infrastructure. Not to mention the fact that both companies are successful specifically...

Agreed, if you insist on buying Apple products, especially on the day they're released, you should be used to getting reamed by now.

Oh I'm not complaining about the grammar, just the content. Saying something that is glaringly obvious "may be" a cause of something else is annoying. Don't equivocate, just say it!

Really, you don't say. Do journalists even need an education any more? Or editors, for that matter?

Both of these items are still available.

I don't think there has to be a specific feature that requires a screen to fold or stretch in normal use, the fact that phone screens will be much less susceptible to cracking or shattering on impact makes the research worthwhile. If you accidentally drop your phone onto the corner of a table...

Yet another reason I choose to drive for Lyft instead of Uber. Here in San Diego, the number of ride requests you get are about the same for either, and I'd rather work for and promote a company that isn't run by a money grubbing egomaniac. Yes, Lyft likes profits, but not at any cost.

^^^^^^^

Any parent stupid or irresponsible enough to give a child their credit card info and then not closely monitor the kid's use of it is a moron and deserves what they get. Children don't need credit cards with their parents' credit limit, if you don't want them carrying cash get them a debit card...

I'm still using my Note 4 for work and exchanged the Note 7 I bought for personal use for an LG V20 because it was the closest in screen size and was a brand new design at the time, but there are several things I don't like about it (no stylus, the keyboard layout is annoying, the top edge of...

Check your PMs if you haven't already.

I gave him another hour, if I don't hear anything I'll let you know.
