I've not seen that in an airplane. I'd like a cite. There's certainly issues with the computers in some of the later things (like my Volt which is just a rolling computer. The transmission lever and the gas pedals are just inputs to the computer. They don't directly control things. Even the first bit of brake travel is purely a software input). -----Original Message----- From: TUHS [mailto:tuhs-bounces@minnie.tuhs.org] On Behalf Of Dave Horsfall Sent: Monday, February 5, 2018 4:52 PM To: The Eunuchs Hysterical Society Subject: Re: [TUHS] Windows roots and Unix influence (was Re: Happy birthday, Ken Thompson!)
