How come there wasn't any redundancy?

Airline companies as well as passengers got screwed big time, aren't massive landing fees supposed to keep these things from happening?

i rarely write when driving, when i do its at a red light and i get help from my g1 keyboard. its all about knowing your limits, quick glances keeping one eye on the road. i would have no problem tacking on a fine if texting contributed to a collision. i dont live in a city, a lot of long roads and not much traffic, at least in winter. i would never recommend anybody text while driving, but i think a ban is a bit excessive, couldnt it fall under reckless driving

I support a person's right to text and talk and not wear a seatbelt while driving. I regularly web browse while driving and have never been in an accident. It's all about self responsibility, not a nanny state

edit: Also, making the penalties the same as drunk driving? what the hell? drunk driving is a hell of a lot worse than texting while driving

the solution is simple I think, have one standard, non biased group, like IEEE, use a standard to test FLOPS, or drey/whetstones, something that shows how much "work" is done in a second doesn't cover other CPU instructions but it's a start. also, I like AMD's naming scheme, it describes the number of cores and a number that "compares performance among other processors in it's family", now that number just has to be used across the boards

well, infinite resolution @ infinate frames, progressive scan? or wouldn't it be instantaneus scan?

 about 180 degrees FOV and I guess to figure out the number of polygons you would have to find out the number of atoms in your FOV

well blu-ray is only about 4.5 MB/s so it should be fast enough

how can you post this and not have it be political? 8 GB flash drives have been around for a while, how can we only talk about hardware when the main point of the article is about a politician?

there's going to be virtually no reaction because obama's president, if bush was president though, there'd be riots in the streets
