Substandard Italian workmanship renders first 787s unsafe

Many people work in digital or analog domains without ever studying,
contemplating, or understanding the quintessential differences between the
two. I've heard a very wide variety of definitions of digital, most of them
wrong even when they come from "experts."

Not always, but there are many things that many people don't really
understand, even those with formal education in a related field.

For example, if you drop a heavy object and a light object from the top of a
building, the heavy object will hit the ground first--but if you say this to
certain physicists, they will instantly argue about it, without thinking it
through (it's a true statement). The angry young male physicsts are the worst,
of course ... angry young males will argue about a sunny day.

That's really, really funny!!

I know it's politically incorrect, but the mentally impaired really give us a
laugh sometimes!!

Let's all be on the lookout for those angry young male physicists, feeding us
false information to bloster their testosterone-driven egos!!

For example, the written word is a digital representation of information.
There are no "half W's" or "partial A's"; either a symbol is one letter, or
it's another. But the written word is typically actually stored on analog
physical devices, such as books or disk drives. These analog representations
must be resolved unambiguously to discrete values upon entering the digital
realm.


Your understanding of everything digital is completely elementary and grossly
misinformed. The large majority of digital devices do not write to or read
from physical storage devices, but interface directly with other digital
devices.


The print on a page may be blurry, but in order to read it, each
letter
on the page must be unambiguously identified--there are no partial or
intermediate letters.

Even this is a grotesque qnd obvious error. We all read print every day with
errors and ambiguities, and easily correct the missing or misformed text
through context. Digital systems do the same, through delta modulation,
checksums, and several thousand different error detection and correction
algorithims. You haven't read up much on digital in the past few decades have
you? You also have not come to terms with the difference between a bit and a
byte, at the origin of one of your most howling asininities yet published on
these pages!!
