<0> Ahh, the joy of MS Flight Simulator ;)
<1> it would take some practice to hit a building with a 767
<2> ajofi simulation
<3> Then you know about how many people are killed in freak windshear accidents.
<4> Dominus strikes again
<2> Dominus how is flight simulator sound likea fun game
<1> there are not that many people killed in freak windshear accidents
<5> the fun question is, is it possible to loop or roll a large boeing?
<2> ajofi well it was not hard on 911
<0> gopp: it's nice, if you tune up the realism.
<1> most of them are not paying attention to the weather and the NTSB conclusions will indicate that.
<4> occ: especially the ones with the anti-nuke lasers
<2> oh
<1> Wind shear doesn't appear out of nowhere.
<0> But it's only fun if you're willing to get into real flying... like, learn to really fly a plane.
<4> occ: yoi know about those right?
<3> Here is the vulnerability, They ought to make a computer warning system that when you encounter an object above 1000 feet or so it forces the aircraft to turn
<5> about what?
<4> occ: the USAF boeing with the 3 anti-nuke/missile lasers?
<0> It's pretty boring if you turn on all the ***istants that do the braking/flaps/rudder etc for you.
<1> freemmrkts: well with a database and GPS it's not difficult to do that now.
<5> oh, i guess not, publius
<5> do tell
<3> and commercial aircaft should have flares and chaff foe defensive measures against sholder launched Triple A
<4> occ: I found out this morning. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/27/airborne_laser_test/
<1> freemrkts: who pays for this equipment that thus far would have never been used?
<2> FreeMrkts that great idea
<6> ajofi: the airlines
<2> Dominus any problems with my resume something not logical
<3> Yeah I mean the ability for a computer to realize there is a building in front of you in a colition course should be easy to program into a auto pilot control which would take over.
<0> gopp: few small things.
<3> It could also help with near colisions between commercial aircraft
<0> I'll PM.
<2> FreeMrkts a terroist button
<1> why should government force private businesses to add on chaff, flares and the training to go with it?
<2> if the planes is being taken our by some hijacker
<2> you hit the button
<2> and the planes takes control of himself
<1> If the private businesses want to do it, great. It can be a service differentiator. Forcing them to do it by law is not something I agree with.
<2> hmm Dominus few small
<3> Ajofi, because the truth is at the whim of any nut with the right shoulder held equipment can take out any civilian airliner it wants
<3> Thankfully it has not happened yet.
<3> That we know of.
<3> I hope it doesnt happen.
<1> FreeMrkts: There is already TCAS II which prevents mid-air collisions.
<1> freemrkts: Then the government should pay for it.
<3> The world is getting more dangerous. The cold war looks like the good old days.
<1> If it's worth government making a law, it should fund it's own bright ideas.
<3> Ajofi, Fine.
<7> Mobile phone users could pay less for making calls from abroad to their country of origin, under proposals put forward by the European Commission.
<7> The Commission said it would draft a law to crack down on "unjustified" high charges for using mobile phones abroad.
<7> niiiice...
<3> We cant though eliminate all risk..
<7> heh, gotta love free markets
<3> We have to live with it without being paranoid of mexicans who only want a job.
<4> gopp: you a gamer/
<3> Or a Arab company which has no arab employees
<8> haha Sharon Stone said that Hillary is "too ***y" to run for president
<9> I thought sharon stone was ***y till I heard tha
<10> Looks like Kadima is winning in Israeli elections
<1> freemrkts: well a system to warn pilots about buildings is really not practical. It's not needed for airlines, and wouldn't be affordable for anyone else.
<10> which is good
<11> Hillary....***y
<11> Sharon Stone has 20:2000 vision
<12> damn right..with that mustache
<3> Ajofi, How much did 911 cost us ? I suppose they would of still crashed it into something, like the ground with people on it, but the damage would of been less.
<3> I remeber a United Airlines plane sitting on a street in s.e portland
<3> it was so surreal
<3> It crashed there
<11> FM, 9-11 had an estimated cost of $1 trillion
<9> Tcas II is already manditory for a lot of cl***es of aircraft
<3> TT right, and if you can install these devices for relatively inexpensive, then why not
<3> cars have them
<9> Business Jets, Maybe larger twins ??
<3> They just dont have an autopilot
<1> freemrkts: You're proposing an automatic pilot that could not be disabled in the event the aircraft comes within a certain proximity to a building? And the autopilot would prevent a crash into the building?
<5> TheTailor set the cruise control in his Winnebago and then went into the back and took a nap
<5> :D
<3> but autopilot already has a lot of inputs, a range finder and a override to block a collision wouldnt be that expensive I would think
<9> I think it would
<4> look at AEGIS
<9> Tcas is pretty expensive
<4> I bet we could haev a damn good autopilot if we needed
<11> Hey, there was a woman paying special attention to me, that's so rare it was worth the risk.
<3> heheh tt
<1> freemrkts: the on-board database, just for navigation, for a big airliner runs tens of thousands of dollars for a single aircraft.
<3> I tell you if you watch the news to much it makes you afraid of women ;)
<3> And vice versa, women afraid of men.
<13> Iraq Body Count, an antiwar group that keeps a running tally of Iraqi civilian deaths, reports that the daily toll under the occupation falls in the range of 25 to 28 per day. But under Saddam Hussein's rule, the death toll averaged three times that, including 600,000 civilian executions recorded by the Documental Center for Human Rights, and the 100,000 Kurds killed during the Anfal operation. A violent day under the coalition
<3> So many psychos out there killign their wives and husbands and girlfriends and boyfriends.
<8> BE AFRAID .. BE VERY AFRAID :)
<1> freemrkts: i don't have an estimate for what you're asking for, because i don't even know what you proposing. But don't underestimate how expensive anything to do with aircraft is.
<3> Its overblown of course by the media ;)
<3> Comet haha
<8> hehe
<14> back from the mall
<4> lOL
<13> Coalition casualties declined by 27 percent in 2005. They have declined by 62 percent in 2006, measured against the comparable period of 2005. The insurgent strategy of targeting Iraqi police and army units peaked in July 2005. Since then, casualties among those units have declined by 33 percent. Infant mortality is down 60 percent.The Iraqis have had three elections and women voted in all of them. The number of coalition-traine
<13> hrm, thats fairly interesting
<15> Yeah now they are targeting iraqi civilians.
<4> MikeyD: hehe, what do you think it means? ;)
<14> thats was the quickest trip to the mall I have ever made!!
<3> Coalitions casualties have dropped like a rock for I think the last 4 months
<10> MikeyD, Link please
<15> Deaths haven't dropped.
<3> and its all because of the Iraqi Army finally getting trained well enought o takeover the most dangerous jobs.
<13> i dunno what it means other than the satistic thats being thrown out
<15> I mean they are just going for softer targets.
<10> MikeyD, Link please
<13> im looking for the source the person is citing
<13> link to what i just pasted is here
<3> sint, 4 coalitions deaths this month not counting yesterday how many deaths yesterday or the day before ?
<13> http://www.ajc.com/sunday/content/epaper/editions/sunday/opinion_44625217d2f40057000a.html
<3> As of 3.24.06 there were 4 deaths in the month of March
<15> Seriously if you are trying to get your message into the national news isn't it easier to target a mosque or a wedding and not even get close to iraqi or US forces.
<15> 56 just the other day.
<3> Did any americans die on teh ***ault on the bad guys in the so called mosque which wasnt ?
<15> Coalition forces are not all the people in the region.
<3> sint, Not Americans
<3> Not Coalition
<16> FreeMrkts: your buddy Frist didnt say anything today yet in the senate
<15> So you don't care about anyone else?
<15> I get it.
<16> what do you make of that
<3> fRIST IS NOt my buddy
<1> 100% of Jordanians have an unfavorable view of Jews. 58% have a favorable view of Christians. 1% have an unfavorable view of Muslims.
<3> Not on immigration.
<4> FreeMrkt: I don't think so
<4> FreeMrkt: THey just served as advisors
<15> It is obvious the people trying to sway the balance of power in Iraq have given up targetting US forces because the US is already planning a pull out.
<16> i've been watchin on C-SPan for some action, and theyve barely touched immigration
<3> Is he still trying to push an immigration bill with border security but not comprehensive ?
<15> The numbers are down 15 percent already they don't need to do anything to get the US to pull out.
<16> Well they said yesterday he likes the bill as the house penned it
<13> i think the person who said that is pulling the numbers from here
<16> but he hasnt talked today
<13> http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/nadler200603130815.asp
<3> Publius, Well as I recall now you are right it was mostly Iraqi and so coalition casualties were low if any
<15> They just keep targetting their religious and polical opponents and people that don't care about Iraq think the US is winning even more now.
<4> FreeMrkt: I believe 16
<16> I dont even think Frist is in the senate today?
<15> But alot of people are still getting killed.
<1> 60% of Jordanians have confidence in Osama bin Laden. And 57% say violence against civilians is sometimes/often justified to defend Islam.
<16> i havent heard a mention of his name
<3> I bet there hasnt been 10 this month. I saw a scale with the numbers, coalition deaths dropped like a rock in the last 4-6 months
<3> to deny that is to lie
<3> its a fact
<4> FreeMrkt: Oh, the coalition deaths
<15> FreeMrkts do you really not care about anyone else?
