Comment Re:Directly monitored switches? (Score 1) 54

The issue is not whether the switches were moved. In the event of a dual engine shutdown, moving the switched off and then on - is the correct procedure to force a re-start. After a short delay for the second one, because electric power was lost, and the RAT only supplies enough power to start one at a time.

Suicidal pilots would not have restarted the engines!

The "did you do that?" comment had no indication of what "that" was that has been published. It is pretty clear that multiple actors are engaged in muddying the waters.

"The truth will out" - but possibly at 40,000 feet over the North Atlantic.

How many RATs does it take to power a data center? enquiring minds want to know!

Submission + - Captcha and Locale

Anne Thwacks writes: Google's Captcha fails to account for locale. Eg: we do not have crosswalks, we have Zebra crossings.

However, that is not the most serious problem with Captcha: when they say "bicycles" does that include or exclude motorcycles? does it include or exclude parts of a bicycle? (Or staircase, or bus) if parts, how small are the parts? Does the last 3mm of a handlebar count as a bicycle? Does just the wing mirror count as a whole bus? Does a quarter of the bottom step count as a staircase? and why are the pictures so small and blurry on my 4k screen that I can't actually tell what is in the picture anyway? Why can't the pictures scale to the window? Some people have 8k screens. It is not 2010 any more!

Now Google says I am a robot, and won't let me read my own mail. Is this cruel and inhuman torture according to any known legislation? Are Google fit to be in charge of anything at all? What can be done about this?
