It's simple things that are ALWAYS the curse that brings down an otherwise suppurb accumulation of engineering.

Every new system has glitches. It is the same, although with less disaster potential, with new car models or anything else.

Good grief!

I haven't seen any of those blue screens since 1998.
Regarding the F22..
Seems like something somebody at the programming and systems level should've caught long ago, even before construction of the first F-22.

heck - possibly not the first time. There is a story about the F16 flipping to inverted flight after crossing the date line from years back. Don't the varsity of the story, but it's certainly been told a number of times.

For me personally, I am religiously unable to 'Don't The Varsity' on this story. But I remain stuned that it is even possible.
