I’ve been looking into Adobe AIR recently, and this line in the developer’s manual gave me a chuckle.
[…] most errors and alerts can be handled in the normal window display order. (Please refer to the AIR end user license agreement (EULA) for information on AIR’s suitability for time-critical applications such as aircraft and nuclear power plant control.)
OK, I know they’re not suggesting anything. I mean, who in their right mind would use AIR for something as critical aircraft/nuclear plan control? But I just found it funny that it was even hinted at. You never know, of course, maybe one day. I betcha’ those nuclear plants use really old software (albeit tried and tested) that could really use a breath of fresh AIR.

Yeah it’s funny. I can imagine down the track a power plant hiring a developer who only happens to know web-technologies and so uses AIR because it’s what he knows
Just as people currently use images, Flash, JavaScript or HTML in the wrong situation.
Haha, yeah, you never know, eh?
By the way, that’s some great art on your site! Really slick curves and colors.
I think nuclear industry and military still uses Ada with certified compilers I guess… But I dont see any reasons why it cant be done in AIR ! It’s a compiled language, so it can fit in life-critical applications. Maybe we will see that in the future ;-)
