Submission + - First Drone Successfully Lands On Aircraft Carrier (ibtimes.com)
redletterdave writes: Salty Dog 502 flew from the Patuxent River Naval Station in Maryland to the USS George H.W. Bush operating off the Virginian coast, but unlike other drones, Salty Dog was piloted entirely by computer without a human operator. The unmanned operation is considered one of the most difficult operations due to navigating the air and a moving ship, and many have said itâ(TM)s a major milestone in the development of drone warfare. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus described the event as witnessing the future and compared it to the first manned aircraft landed on a carrier in 1911.

If the device does not have any moving parts then washers/spacer should be fine. If there were moving parts the torque could snap/bend the fastner so then washers/a spacer would be a bad idea.

We use iLO. Nothing better than being able to observe what a server is doing during reboot. From outside of the LAN you must use VPN before getting access so it is fairly secure.
