I think his comment still stands.

Not really. It's like leaving riddles in a bank safe that is so insecure that almost anyone can just walk in and take customers money. It's like leaving riddles that humiliate the bank operator into taking the right fucking precautions to protect the customers money.

Would little snitch have caught the offending program phoning home? Although he probably looked to see if the users had this installed.

*sigh* I fear this is the end of OS X as we know it....

I was under the impression that you could trim the aircraft in such a way as to get the desired AoA (in combination with the appropriate throttle setting) to get out of a situation like this. I read somewhere that this situation happens more than you would think. I searched for a bit, but can't find the link....

Busily exploring our world. Wow. It almost brought a tear to my eye....is that weird? Something about watching those telescopes buzzing away with activity against that background....

...just to make sure. Isn't this story like a week old?
From a news story on 5/22: "According to reports, NASA investigators had been targeting the woman for several months in suspicion of the potential illegal sale of a moon rock. The final meeting between the parties took place in a restaurant in Lake Elsinore, CA, where the woman offered to sell the alleged hunk of the moon for $1.7 million to an undercover NASA official. 'After conversation, the moon rock was produced inside the restaurant (and) several (sheriff's) investigators and NASA agents moved in on the suspect, took possession of the rock and detained the suspect,' said Sheriff's Sgt. Todd Paulin in an interview with KPSP Local 2 News. Authentic pieces of the moon, collected by astronauts who have been there, are considered national treasures and, as such, it's illegal to sell them per federal law. The unidentified woman attempting to sell her chunk of moon rock hasn't been arrested, however—investigators need to first determine whether the rock is legitimately from the moon."

All aircraft have a "safe-mode" angle of attack and throttle setting that would ensure stable and safe flight until they could figure out what was going on.
As long as their gyros were working (which they most certainly were, hello redundancy), they should have pulled through this as other flights that go through this ALL THE TIME have....

Yikes. Oh public schools, how you have failed us!

And in this case, I am referring to the submission. Yikes. Hook, line and sinker...

Nope, just a boner (just make sure you're holding it right)

Is it the same area of the brain that is triggered when apple (or MS or google or etc) hating trolls see an article about apple (or MS or google or etc), especially one that seems to correlate with their preconceived notions? I've always wondered what area of the brain triggers salivation...

It would be interesting to add radon detectors to the CalMagNet ULF sensors that are already in place in California.
They already look at magnetic anomolies, air conductivity, and IR (GOES).

We already monitor ULF in several high risk areas. Radon counts would be interesting. "The California Magnetic Network (CalMagNet) concept involves placing Ultra-Low-Frequency (ULF) based sensors along the major faults throughout California as a pilot network that will lay the groundwork for similar networks throughout the world. The data collected will allow researchers not only to validate the technique but also to provide data for the development of earthquake warning programs." http://www.quakefinder.com/joomla15/index.php/component/content/article/32
