I'm guessing that there was no mechanical connection between the switches in the cockpit and the actual valces controlling the fuel?

Is there a computer inbetween the cockpit switches and the valves that could have decided to do the deed?

Are the reports refering to the switches refering to the physical switches in the cockpit or the result of somthing switching the valves?

That's what the artificial unintelligence should have said.

Long process to register at Openai dot com and then:

Q:Why is the blooby pink?

How can a digital image be measured in metres?

I think here in the UK, we are not supposed to point cameras at public places, eg the street outside your house. But, if a crime has been committed, the police ask for recordings of the street.

Surely, in the interest of safety, Amazon drivers should turn their 'phones off whilst driving?

I use the hardlink feature of rsync to back up, with -excludes, the home directory of my macbook to a hard disk attached to a Raspberry Pi. I also have another PI and disk in my son's appartment. The whole of the macbook gets backed up to a usb disk using timemachine. The Pi's do a similar rsync of themselves as root from / every night.

But really, the only things I really care about are my photographs.

I just want my Raspberry Pi to work. But I have problems on reboot with sshd, apache2 and isc-dhcp-server. But at least I could get radicale running. But not on a reboot.

I have read that rc.local can be used but does not neccessarily run at the end of the boot sequence.

I run a cron job to make it better. It sucks as far as I am concerned.

People drive cars and don't know how the engine works. It's a shame but that is how it is.

But at least with the Raspberry Pi, there is a low cost option to learn what is under the computing bonnet.

... men with the "strong ability to work under pressure, able to work on weekends, holidays and night shifts."

Obviously, women are not idiot enough to apply for such a job.

There were more deaths via selfies than deaths on the moon this year.

I use ad block plus to block a picture at the top of a forum I read. Not because it is an advertisement but because it takes up screen space on my netbook.

So not just for advertisements - rename it stuff block plus.

I use a new directory for incremental backup with rsync, using hard links and references to the last completed back up and the latest incomplete backup.

The major problem I have is that photos can take 12 or more minutes each on slow internet connections but I just leave it running overnight.

For adding exifdata to a number of photos at once, you can use exiftool http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ I also use NikonviewNX to add titles to my photos. This is free from Nikon.

However, I don't touch the originals and only update copies of the photos.

Once you have data in the photo's exifdata, you can extract for other purposes using exiftool or the underlying libraries.
