Small Plane Crashes into Office Building in Austin, Texas

News 8 Austin ^ | 2/18/2010

[sportutegrl]

News Alert, single engine plane plows into building in Austin, Texas. Building houses FBI.

[ctdonath2]

Seems he owned it, registered in CA.

[ctdonath2]

He started writing it Tuesday.

[rintense]

In his suicide note, Stack said he used to live in California.

[beckysueb]

I can’t believe the media has reported on this manifesto and left out the lines about communism.

[egannacht]

Yep

[AFPhys]

There is one Joeseph Stack who donated to Paul, but that guy lived in California.

-—<>-—<>-—<>-—<>-—<>-—<>-—

I believe that Stack indeed IS from CA, and that the business in from CA.

[brytlea]

Geeze, I’m losing my mind. I knew that. I guess this is what getting old is all about... ;)

[brytlea]

Yeah, another poster reminded me. As I said, I’m clearly losing my mind.

Development Services

Throughout our twenty-year history we have grown as the software industry has grown. Twenty years ago the industry largely regarded the development of end-user software to be an entirely different pursuit than that of an embedded controller application. The main reason being because the operating environments were vastly different. Firmware generally was associated with tight processing constraints in minimally capable hardware environments (and, of course, was burned into ROM).

In recent years, however because of the proliferation of low cost, abundantly capable microprocessors and support hardware, the difference between the embedded firmware operating environment and that of the typical end user application has become almost insignificant.

It is not at all unusual to find embedded systems with a multitasking operating system, a full network protocol stack, a relational SQL database server, a multi-user graphical user interface server and more.

Visit our list of Environment Element Components page to see a catalog of some of the many processors, protocols, languages, libraries, and facilities we have worked with over the years.

Embedded Systems Development

In this age, almost every device we encounter that is electrical has some kind of electronic automation. Microprocessor controllers play a part in everything from devices as simple as home appliances to complex computer peripherals. Over the years, we've produced firmware for a wide spectrum of these fascinating devices.

Embedded System Development Areas of Specialization

In every firmware development process there are frequently trouble spots which engineers encounter. Our experience in these areas allows us to help insure a development effort will remains on schedule, and within budget. Some specific areas include:

• Environment Development
• Microprocessor Start-up Code
• Operating System Integration
• Device Driver Implementation
• Algorithm and Process Refinement
• Firmware Product Maintainability

End-User Application Development

Our end-user application development experience started with an interactive text editor built for a port of Unix back in the early 1980's. Since then, we've garnered praise from numerous customers (Western Digital, Sorrento Electronics, Warner Bros. Studio Stores, and many more) for the demonstration of our ability to define application user interfaces that present information in a clear, concise, and efficient format which is intuitive and productive for the user.

Software Quality Assurance

In software engineering circles, it's an odd fact of lift that many of the most talented developers have an aversion to both the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) and the documentation processes. It has been our experience that one of the most expensive mistakes a company can make is to short-change the SQA process.

No amount of effort will turn up all possible software problems (indeed, any given module only functions within its specification in a tightly controlled context). However, the key to achieving stellar results from SQA efforts lies in understanding how a given software environment works and what must be done to methodically examine each possible failure point.

Technical Documentation

Writing high quality, comprehensive documentation (whether it's a requirement specification or an end-user document) and designing an efficient software algorithm are very similar exercises. In both cases it takes skill and dexterity at defining a problem to be solved, organizing just the right pieces of information into the optimal order so that everything is presented as it is needed, and carefully presenting all that is necessary and nothing more.

Designing a good documentation set can be almost as complicated as a good systems design (and every bit as important). However, many of the technical writer staff (while highly qualified authors) have a poor grasp of the documentation tools and the ramifications of how to design a system that can live and breath in an engineering department over the years without quickly becoming unmanageable and obsolete. We've solved this problem, and have the know-how to do it again with the next generation of tools.

Sorry, just in. I may have missed this, if answered already.

Why no posts from the perp re: wife and child problems?

I get the IRS meme, but why burn the house with them in it?

[Moose4]

What year did he donate to Ronpaul? Stack lived in Cali up to about 2003—and it’s possible he may have maintained legal residence there for a while, perhaps. (Though I don’t know why he would, given the relative tax burden between Texas and California.)

LOL. Let’s go one more... and venture to guess that he was an early voter for Debra Medina!

LOL.

[null and void]

Me too. Uh, what were we talking about again?

[lonevoice]

Re: your 911 and 916...quite impressive. Seriously.

[mnehring]

Remember how the media WRONGLY initially reported last year's Washington DC Holocaust Museum shooting as being done by a White Supremacist?

He was a white supremacist, they wrongly reported he was a right winger, came to be he was a rabid leftist.

[rintense]

Something tells me the regular Paulbots will be quiet for a week or two.

He might have done better had he proofread his web site.

[KSCITYBOY]

You can’t believe the MSM would cherry pick the note to fit their agenda. I have some prime property in FL to sell you.

"I get the IRS meme, but why burn the house with them in it?"

Maybe he has more planned than a plane crash - he's a highly trained embedded systems programmer - does he have a security clearance?

Doubt it is the same guy.. this guy is a CPA which doubles the doubt.
