In VMC, yes. If you're in IMC in certain air spaces, it is the ATCs responsibility to maintain separation, not yours (because you might not have the information needed to avoid a collision, but the ATC will). If course, you're sti

I think the Amiga was pretty revolutionary when it launched. Without any accessories, it had stereo sound output and pretty impressive color graphics. And it was affordable (esp. the 500). PCs didn't really get anywhere close in that d

I like this idea. And it's the perfect present for anyone you know that are curious about getting into electronics.

I think it would be a very good idea for them to get some prominent bloggers to do a review of the first kit.

Yep. That's my personal experience as well. Looked at FogBugz several times, but the pricing always put us off. Eventually Atlassian came around and made a good enough product.

Light aircraft engines are already _very_ reliable, you'll most likely spend a career flying without ever experiencing a failure. The most popular GA motor, the Lycoming O-360, has been in production for something like 60 years, and is

> FogCreek should have bit the bullet and re-wrote their application in an open, standardized cross-platform system. Ah, so you happen to know better than Joel how much resources they had available at the time, how long the rewrite would

There's nothing stopping a contributor from keeping your copyright notice, and adding his own license that only covers his own modifications. The contributor does not technically need to change the license of _your_ work, but he is fre

Has it ever been established that the documents he leaked contained information on operatives?

Your comment is focused about how terrible the GPL is for you as a developer. But the GPL was not created to make life easy for you as a developer, it was made to increase the freedoms of the end users.

No you can't. Well, due to fair use you probably could without losing a legal battle over it, but for more substantial improvements you couldn't do that. Presumably you thought about this when choosing the BSD license (or when cho

Have you analyzed this traffic to see what it is? I would expect some of it to be stuff like NTP, checks for internet connectivity and app store updates.

IMO, the main difference is that Apples gives you more choice in the matter. I can still choose to not enable iCloud, and only sync my iPhone / iPad to my computer. Also, for some data collection Apple explicitly asks you whether you w

Even with the context, it's pretty bad. And it's not like his other quotes on privacy paint a better picture.

No, you just missed the "2012" part of the headline. :)

Did you work specifically on the engine controllers? Have you considered speaking to the accident board about this?

I'm not sure that's their main problem. Other companies are alive and well selling similar printers to customers that know what they buy. I think MakerBots biggest problem is that they've marketed (and with Gen5, designed) th

I think the important point is not that it just outweighs what can be achieved by modularisation, but that it is fundamentally more difficult to achieve using modularisation. Had that not been the case, you would expect companies that emula

What do you mean when you say that you're not certain user experience is one of those things?

I don't really get what your problem is? You can disable the memory limitations if your use case requires it, or set the limits as high as you want. How else would you suggest that OpenVZ should handle over-allocation? It is, after all
