    Re: FAA -- Air Traffic Control

    Just like all modern-day aircraft systems are mostly controlled by software, but the pilot still has some control, there is no reason why an ATC center couldn't be automated to a greater degree than...

    Re: FAA -- Air Traffic Control

    Oh I completely agree, there will always be a role for humans. I just happen to think it is currently over-stated. I think there should be more autonomous control than what there currently is, and...

    Re: FAA -- Air Traffic Control

    I never said anything about tubes, and I find it hysterical that you get riled up but then 1. agree with me that they still use binoculars in ATC centers, requirement or not, 2. attempt to refute me...

    Re: FAA -- Air Traffic Control

    William I really disagree entirely with your premise. The military has been using GPS for years and they do it very successfully. They have to account for everything that you just said, in addition...

    Re: Atlas Shrugged Movie - Part 1

    I don't know, some of the acting in that clip alone looked pretty horrific.

    Re: Graphics card overheating

    Your choices are really a new card, or cooled air, or forced air, a heat sync, or liquid cooling. You probably don't want to do either of the last two unless you're a techie. Easiest is probably a...

    Re: Home theater questions

    It's hard to beat the quality and value of an Onkyo. Just pick one of their THX-certified receivers and you are good. If you wanna be snobby then maybe look at Pioneer Elite and some of their...

    Re: ~500 new jobs in OKC thanks to Boeing

    I don't know, I think the answer is pretty obvious. Have you seen that shiny gray, black, and blue building... off by itself, surrounded by parking lot, and then fencing, and then nothing... the...

    Re: Concerts

    We have very few small and medium-sized venues. I can think of two that consistently have national acts... Conservatory, and the Diamond Ballroom. That's part of the problem. I think the other...
  10. Re: Oklahoma business closings increase as OTC steps up sales tax collection

    I am guessing that they owed the money for quite some time, and the tax debt kept accumulating and OTC probably didn't have any enforcement officers to work it and they didn't care all that much...

    It's not like every other state in the country hasn't already done this. The only thing they could possibly be studying is how to keep a bunch of government dolts on the payroll at ABLE.

    York went out of business? That's really surprising, I always thought their food and variety were pretty good by buffet standards.
