This story is old. I posted the following on eng-tips.com two years ago.

The picture does not look like one of a functional aircraft.
What is there to enforce such a code?
In the USA and Canada, there is a system in place for licencing engineers, which includes legal protection for the title of Professional Engineer. All sorts of structures cannot be built unless they are signed off by a Professional Engineer. What process is in place to assure that the software you run was written by a Professional Programmer? Do software companies want their software written by Professional Programmers?
What about all the software written by high school students and college dropouts?
Me!
Why was this choice not provided?
I still have my vernier caliper. The nice thing about vernier calipers is that they do not grow legs and walk off. Digital one seem to have this capability.
I upgraded my laptop from Fedora 20 to Fedora 22 with great difficulty. I do a complete re-install of my OS on its partition, as you note. My main problems were that the wireless did not work during the intall, and that Bluetooth did not work once I was installed. It all is working very nicely now, but I have been running Linux for over twenty years. Fedora 20 could be installed by an ordinary mortal. Fedora 22 requires a second computer with an internet connection, and some geek skills.
Fedora 22 would not recognize the primary hard drive of my desktop. I am thinking hard about Ubuntu. I plan to download Fedora 23 and see if they have fixed it.
Most high speed piston engined aircraft during WWII used thrust from their exhausts to increase speed. I cannot imagine why you would direct a turbo-prop's thrust anywhere other than to the rear.
Lots of WWII radiators generated little or no drag. The P-51 Mustang's radiator actually was sort of a jet engine, expanding its cooling air through a nozzle in the rear, generating zero net drag.
The structure was balsa wood sandwiched between layers of hardwood. This is now the Mosquito was built. From the photos, it appears the ailerons are fabric covered. This was typical of late thirties aircraft. The allies replaced their fabric covered ailerons with metal ones during the war because they did not work at high speeds. I don't think the Germans did.
Formal certification and licensing normally implies two things. You have the knowledge to do the job, and you are professional enough to be trusted. Read up on Professional Engineers.
If you have an association that certifies system administrators, computer repair people and other computer administrators, I would think your primary focus would be on ethical and professional conduct. Joe Blow knows how to fix/administer your computers, and he will keep your secrets and systematically act in your interests. He can be trusted with access to your network, your computers and to your hard drives. The idiot in the article above, is not certifiable.
I do not like the idea of my laptop having an entry that activates my camera or anything else.
Right now, I run Linux, and I encrypt my
Put no trust in cryptic comments.
