Comment Your hit piece on us is wrong!11! (Score 4, Funny) 105

The only reason why the truth isn't widely accepted by the sheeple is the constant MSM conditioning. If everyone knew what we know, the truth would be unstoppable.

That is why you cannot win against us in the Social Media, where our voice is strong.

Just think about it, does it make sense that they could shoot Princess Diana in that Mercedes, but could not manage another Moon landing since Armstrong?

Comment Hm... (Score 4, Interesting) 35

Hewlett-Packard carried out only six hours of due diligence on the finances of the British software company Autonomy before buying it for £8bn, in a deal that ended in disaster and a $5bn (£3.8bn) fraud case, according to court documents.

So, you do due diligence, you fire the guy who set up the deal, but you pay nevertheless, then it turns out there was more diligence due or perhaps you didn't manage to manage it so well, and then you sue, so that your failure becomes someone else's problem? Neat.

But we should listen to you instead?

Listen to whatever you want, it is a free world.

Should the pilot learn an interface that can lead them into a deadly error, or should a more appropriate redesign of a problematic interface be considered is an old argument, and an appropriate redesign has tended to lower the death toll.

this isn't some poorly-considered design fluke in the 787

Sure. The official document that asks the operators to change the buttons on this type of aircraft that I quoted is surely the work of some know-nothing Chicken Little and not an indication of a poorly considered feature.

We should always discard such documents and listen to the aviation "experts" on Slashdot. After all, they are not only great engineers, but also have a long history of polishing a pilot's armchair in their mom's basement.
