   I thought by '75 it was thoroughly commercial by then ;)   
   No, that one sounds like  the '60s, before that happened.

   You should hear the changes Elton John puts into his songs at concerts, and   
   why not - without them it would get too Boring!   
      
   > Still, some people take any mention of things like that as bad manners

   Bragging how? By merely mentioning details?

   That Really SUCKS!!!   
      
   > it's supposed to let us do more than we could before. Tools.   look up the   
   > youtube video on the crash of NASA's X31.  It's about an hour long.   
      
   Nah, I found a video that covered the details in minutes, and of course, the   
   crash was for a STUPID reason!   
   Computers aren't only Servants, they're SLAVES! It's what they're Designed   
   and Intended to be and as such should NEVER be given ANY kind of authority   
   that's not under the Direct and Constant Supervision, Judgment, and Approval   
   of their MASTERS, and can be TOTALLY BYPASSED at ANY time for ANY reason or   
   for no reason!!!   
   To choose ANY other course is to be either INSANELY STUPID, or STUPIDLY   
   INSANE!!!   
   And THAT was the ONLY Reason Why the X-31 crashed!   
   Had the computer, which was reading and processing Garbage data from an   
   unheated and therefore frozen probe, to achieve the Constant Result i.e   
   Garbage in Always Equals Garbage out, been BYPASSED, the pilot could have   
   safely landed the plane rather than having to punch out and come down in a   
   parachute!   
   It's Amazing that the computer even 'allowed' the pilot to escape and not   
   prevent that ala 2001, A Space Odyssey's HAL 9000 computer! Just imagine if   
   the computer was given the 'authority' to prevent the pilot from ejecting!   
   So much more computer STUPIDITY!!!   
      
   >  Computers do what you tell them too.   
      
   And  that's ONLY when they're working properly AND processing Valid data!!!   
      
   > Even if that means crash the plane.   
      
   Not in the case of the  X-31, but Definitely in  case of the  Airbus.   
      
   > Then there is the famous video of the Airbus flying into some trees on   
   > takeoff because of some HUMAN oversite regarding setting the takeoff   
   > computer mode.   
      
   The video said that the airbus had no living persons on board, only   
   computers running it all...right into the trees!   
   HOW could ANYone be so STUPID as to allow that???   
   Millions of dollars worth of beautiful airplane reduced to burning   
   wreckage...all because of a Crackpot False Religion that says computers   
   should be Worshipped so much as to Trust them with doing things that there   
   will Never be a substitute for Living person being in charge of doing   
   EVER!!!

   Sounds like instead of technology making your life simpler, it's making it   
   waaaaay tooooo overcomplicated.
