Yes, that's what I was saying. If the software is dependent on the sensors, then for sure it's going to behave incorrectly if the data it gets from the sensors is erroneous. Not exactly unfortunately :( (from Wikipedia): "The pilots then flipped a pair of switches to disable the electrical...

Unfortunately, that sounds very likely. Which means that the software wouldn't be able to tell that, since it's dependent on those sensors :( It's definitely scary. It's like a "patch" over the real implementation in order to save money/time instead of doing things the proper way and having...

I guess because of what you suggested: the cost? Even if Boeing foots the entire bill (which they should, given the circumstances) and trains pilots to fly the Boeing 737 without the need for MCAS, there's still the time involved, etc. Had no idea that MCAS was being used only so it could fly...

From Wikipedia: "It lowers the nose without pilot action when it determines the aircraft is too nose-high, based on input from airspeed, altitude and angle of attack sensors. However, it is susceptible to erroneous activation, as evidenced in the deadly crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and...

That's very scary. It's an outrage that two planes went down over a "software flaw" in the first place. Something that takes away control of the plane from the pilots is mind boggling. Boeing screwed up big time, and I'm surprised the FAA went along with it. They're as much to blame for this...

Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker It's not perfect, but I enjoyed it alot. Had low expectations going in because of the previous film (Last Jedi), but this movie totally delivered. JJ Abrams knows how to do a Star Wars film right! :rockon: There's a few surprisingly emotional scenes in the movie...

This should be a no-brainer though, and should not be a reason why reviewers should not include acronyms. It's always a YMMV situation, but if the acronyms are clearly listed, at least a potential clients knows it may be possible. It should be up to the reviewer to decide what he wants to put...

Yeah was going to mention that. It's probably better that the review focus more on the info, than the raunchiness. Me personally, I love reading those penthouse letter type reviews. But most SPs don't appreciate it.

This is a pretty good approach. But in general if you want to review, you should. The reviews are for your peers primarily (ie. other clients). If a SP get something out of a great review, then more power to them and that's an additional bonus. But that shouldn't be the intent.

Great posts Rebecca! But why so small in terms of image size? Can barely see them :|

It was the word "undercover" that threw me off. There was nothing undercover about it...they were in uniform, etc. So I thought maybe this was a different incident or something.

Whoa...I didn't know about this. I remember there was one time that the cops showed up publicly at one of the VIP parties and went around. But nothing really happened and they left after 30 minutes or so. Supposedly they showed up I think because people were drinking on the balcony. Or so I...

I wouldn't do this to cut down on costs for the incall/agency. But I used to bring a towel, mouthwash, bodywash, etc in case they didn't have any. But these days, most reputable agencies provide this. Mouthwash may not always be there, but towels and bodywash should be.

Not true: I enjoyed it. And I was expecting not to, the way the ads mislead you to believe something else. That being said though, it's not Tarantino's best. It's definitely a slow burn kinda movie, but the bright side is that it does reward the viewer for their patience.

I'd say the windows need a bit more work ;)

I saw Doctor Sleep as well, and also read the book back when it came out (along with seeing and reading The Shining before that). I liked it alot...there's more connections to The Shining than in the book. In particular, to Kubrick's movie. I found it quite creepy/disturbing...especially the...

They gave him a chance to apologize, but he refused. "Good for him" i guess (in regards to him not saying something that he doesn't really believe in and lying to the public). But now he has to live with that decision. Anyways, he should have never made the comment to begin with (especially...

Is that a service you provide, Julia? Lol ;)

I mean, you could just buy the tires at Canadian Tire, and install them somewhere else. I just bought winter tires this year myself, and it cost me $60.00 for the balancing and installation at the same place I got them (not Canadian Tire). So no discount, even though I bought my tires from...

If you have to explain it, then it wasn't that funny to begin with. Vitamin D is slang for dick? First time I ever heard that.
