Here is a good post by Zeke: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/3018977/
Also a good read is: http://www.seattlepi.com/business/boe202.shtml

Is there a real direct control on 767? Can you tell me how a B767 is controlled without any computer or electricity? Even CVR and FDR go offline without electricity.

THATS FOR THE 777 not 767 Dumas ever heard of emergency battery power or a RAT.

You may ask this Chesley Sullenberger what the A320 did when the engines lost thrust.

ITS CALLED A RAT RAM AIR TURBINE FOR EMEGENCY POWER most airplanes have one. plus emergency battery power

Do you know how the fly-by-wire system works on a C-17? Hint, it’s not a Boeing design.

Yes its a system derived from the NASA f-8 program made by BAE.

I did heard of it. Did you know how an input via yoke is send to the control surface on a B767? Via cable, via direct hydraulic actuator, ... how?

Yes its a system derived from the NASA f-8 program made by BAE.

The Airbus system is also derived from a NASA development. Did you read the links I posted?
