I have a blog at http://depravedlibrarian.blogspot.com (I've also registerd the domain and will eventually put up a forwarding page). I misstyped this in the location bar: http://depravedlibrarian.blogpsot.com and found that registrant for this site and all the other Amazingbiblestudies sites (I checked 3 other Blogger address) is the same registrant. While it's not exactly domain hijacking, what can I, or should I do about this? How else can I get the word out about this? Thanks for your suggestions.

So, I was thinking about the latest "airplane over DC" scare, and it reminded me of something I've been wondering about for a while. Given all the advances in avionics and fly-by-wire technology, couldn't aircraft manufacturers install some sort of 'hijack button' that would irreversibly cause the aircraft to contact the authorities and land itself at the nearest suitable airport, or let someone on the ground take over the controls remotely?
