The problem is finding someone new willing to maintain the software. We have large systems running on big iron. The people who maintain it are getting older and fewer. We struggle trying to get someone new motivated to learn the technology. It's not an issue with the hardware, you can continue to upgrade that. It's finding someone who is willing to work in software that is no longer popular.
Hawaii is volcanic. The volcanoes are high, so you have to deal with a thin atmosphere. Unlike the arctic, you get more of a 12 hour dark/light cycle. These are all closer to Mars conditions than anywhere else you can find on Earth. You are going to land on Mars nearer the equator than the poles. But, of course, Hawaii is much hotter than Mars.
Number 7 is not the path the plane followed. It is the possible location of the plane when it made its last ping to the Immarsat satellite. The radar info was its last known position. It could have flown to India, turned around, and flew back to Thailand to make its last ping. It could have then flew on to Laos. That is not a probable pass, some other country would have noticed the plane, but it is an explanation of the picture.
We just had a guest speaker discuss his role in the Ice Cube neutrino detector. He also commented on this, since they were also working at the South Pole at the time.

I just hard wired my own OS
Real men run Apple DOS 3.3. Apple II forever!
it's a space station

I don't see how that would be different from living here.
Or did it actually go into production?
Are we talking night vision goggles, or thermal imagers?
Everyone loves Pi!
And Apple has gone from Mac OS 10 to Mac OS 10
and people who make silly youtube videos
Isn't that built into the iPad ROM already?
I have had enough of this touch stuff on my ipad. I need to install DOS and get some real work done.
Lunatic Fringe. Love that song.
Try having the same debate in Saudi Arabia or Turkey.
Or Helios Airways Flight 522, which lost cabin pressure, and flew on until it ran out of fuel.

TeamOS/2, Where are you???
Very dangerous around people fleeing paparazzi.
It didn't get interesting until the Baroque period
I do that every Saturday night ;)
I feel them after every Thanksgiving meal.
