What's interesting is that airliners face similar conditions in the Middle East, that is, very fine SiO2 particles. And they go there every day and cope with it.
And the requirement for zero ash is fine, what's not fine is putting a blanket over all Europe saying 'there may be ash there'
And don't forget the 'Desolé' since everything has to be in french. I assume they should draw a frowny face with a french hat and a cigarette as well...
Or maybe they will do their homework and instead of having a knee-jerk reaction actually measure the ash density and determine if it's dangerous or not
I'm guessing the dangerous area is about 1/10 of what the British VAAG is saying
1. You're saying that they were lying when they said that they had practice mission in Nothern Finland. And lied that even short missions can cause problems when they released photos about the engines.
No, I'm saying I saw only one source claiming they were on Northern Finland. Maybe they were further north, in the arctic.
And I'm sure they're being 100% honest about the engine photos.
2. You think that they _could_ lie about it and not get caught. Do you have any idea how closely airspace is being scrutinized?
Depends on altitude, artic monitoring and radar signature of the F-18. I'm not sure they ask civilian ATC for clearance...
One thing is flying straight into the plume, another, in a very large area where 'allegedly' the ash density is enough to damage a plane significantly.
And then you have BigTable (C++) and Google File System (C/C++)

Funny how one of the last things to run on Linux 64 bit was the JVM. Oh yeah, and even Flash became more popular as a 'run everywhere' platform on the web.
Have you ever written a device driver for Windows? For Linux? For an embedded device?
Have you ever had to replace the default memory allocator on a C++ program??
You see, I don't have to rely on a "virtual machine" to make my programs run. Also, I don't have the luxury to add more memory to some machines where my code runs.

Microsoft is more likely to flip at them when they find out the factory does not use licensed windows copies.

Did the engines on BA Flight 9, those that shut down mid-flight for ash ingestion, went flying off?? (I mean, without the plane)
Thank you
So

Or they were somewhere in the arctic and got closer to Iceland
I don't think they went there after the volcano began erupting, I think they were caught by surprise near the volcano.
And if they were really crossing somebody else's airspace I don't think they would be in a rush to confirm it.
Iceland is west of Finland.
You're right, sorry, I got confused

Still...
*In* it. Those Finnish pilots are badass.
That explains a lot...
One thing is flying straight into the plume, another, in a very large area where 'allegedly' the ash density is enough to damage a plane significantly.
Well, consider this: Icelandic Air flies 757s between North America and Europe, with KEF as their base.
So we can choose between the findings of a massive corporation risking its own equipment to call BS on a computer model
or a military entity performing a post-mortem on its equipment which sustained damage just prior to flight restrictions.
You decide!
Fixed
And here's the gotcha, they never disclosed how close to the volcano the finn planes were.
It's all about practice. Practice, practice, practice.
Also learn to steer with your chin, WHILE you're eating something...
Well, videogame devs don't have a choice, they write for the Wii / PS3 / XBOX and even that being like, 50% common code, still...
And they manage to do it. For a time sensitive app with several different complex APIs (like graphics) and different number of cores.
So, if someone complains about 'having to write for iPhone and Android' something like a twitter app, call the Whaaambulance
Well, I'm sure he would be a sure fit for those "must have 10+ years Java experience"
or maybe not... HR drones...
No! you develop for the Iphone using Microsoft Visual Objective Java or something...
I have 10 years experience on that, btw!
Well everybody knows the password is 12345
Now excuse me, there's someone knocking on my door...
C has become the English of computer languages. There are so many derivatives - C++, C#, 'Objective-C', Java,
Erm... no
Java and C# may have originated from C++ but they are very different
Obj-C is a very different monster altogether. (want to have a taste of Obj-C? Take a look at the Adium source code)
It's more like C has become the 'latin' of computer languages (except, contrary to what most java-fans think IT'S NOT DEAD)
Makes sense, even though in most cars I saw the brakes are the ones with the least range.
Even then, the brakes go 'very deep', so people can really not hit them to the end.
Yes, so by your logic we should have 500 more people crash their cars before we can look for a conclusion with sigma > 0.95 or something like that
Well, in both cases it's trivial to slam the brakes and apparently that's too difficult for some people...
Seriously though. Adsense, GMail, Wave

NO
Well, it may have began like that, but MS knew how to fix java.
So there you go.
Have you ever written a device driver for Windows? For Linux? For an embedded device?
Have you ever had to replace the default memory allocator on a C++ program??

Have you heard of Jonathan Schwartz???
I'm glad you didn't say anything about having a ponytail...
