Good to see that the concept which was first presented to me in an ACT problem is finally becoming a reality. It would have been nice to have heard about this before taking a timed test. Much too fascinating and time consuming.

The more difficult thing is in a field like aeronautics any minor changes have the possibility of generating catastrophic events. In these situations, the cost of replacement, and testing, and phasing stuff in is enormously high and the risk is obscene when change needs to be made.
Several months later, my father was diagnosed with ALS. A week ago, my father passed away.
At this stage in my life, I can't begin to express how thankful I am that there is a group dedicated to the treatment of this condition and that (unlike many other US charitable endeavors) the monies received have been utilized efficiently.
You're purchasing time from people that are busy, and productive, and have a life that on the whole it not completely virtualized. Compare that with Facebook and MMPORGs of sorts, and there are some highly successful virtual people who live real lives in mobile homes and shitty apartment complexes. Not to say their overall quality of life is bad, but maybe their balance is off kilter some.
