If this explanation is correct, and I am now 99% skeptical of anything comming from the Obama Administration, this means they were using rookie pilots who did not understand the Ring Vortex Effect or the Dead Man's Curve.
You stay out of the Dead Man's zone by reducing translational velocity only with height. Each helicopter has its own curve, which also depends on air temperature density and humidity. You NEVER descend directly into your own rotor down wash, and if you do you do it very very carefully since it is the easiest known way to loose lift and crash out, especially loaded in warm thin dry air.
(1) This does not solve the problem, only multi-lateral web of trust does that, ie PGP or X509 keys signed by your counterparties
(2) Obummer's Administration will get it all wrong so (a) we have many more years of scams (b) it will provide endless opportunity for DHS, TSA, CIA and FBI to act ultra-vires and outside the constitution.

Symbian was ALLWAYS a bad platform, which got little traction outside Nokia, and some of the technical decisions eg "Symbian Signed" were brain dead marketing ideas that made the platform even more hostile. Ie if Nokia didn't do it you could not have it, even on your own phone, period.
So Symbian spoilt Nokia's high end while the margins on the low end, simple phone eg N3110, 5 days battery life were eroded to nothing. Nothing Nokia has done, at the high end has worked and they have destroyed all confidence that they know how to build a smart-phone. I predict WP7 will be a disaster and will do neither Nokia or M$ any good.
Nokia had the money to make QT+mego a success, but none of the drive, immagination or technical management to realize sucess.
When the M$ adventure is seen to flop they will be done. Very Sad.
No, and neither am I, this is part of the AGW scam which the Lame Stream Meidia are in up to their armpits.
When you can see the radiometer readings they are ~0,2 mS, ie BACKGROUND but pools are boiling, containment MAY be breached, reactors are in scary MELTDOWN days after they SCRAMED. Pull the other leg.
Asshole America under Obama is being talked up for another ban like the Gulf drilling ban and the fracking ban... and all the other bans which leave Windmills which don't work
Meanwhile Obama now thinks the US should invade Libya.
Though not from the US this is nonsense mission creap. The Department of Education is unconstitutional, and uses up resources that would otherwise be available to support educarion.
They constantly interfear with the running of schools and in the British system have taken a working system and destroyed it.
Get rid of these people and leave harrasment to the police.
Napolitano is just one more of the long like of elected idiots who understand neither technology or their job, which is (military) Intelegence and are trying to use computers in exactly the wrong way. Empirical Computer modeling and 'tell-me-what-is-going-on' are beyond modern technology.
Hunches and good intuition is presently reserved to the people, and all this anti-profiling, security theatre and techno babble just gets in the way of having a small team of expert investigators in FBI and CIA and also the national intellegence agencies of UK and Europe eg DSGE, BND. these staff need to work directly to their director and have direct and immediate access to the Sec HS and Justice.
The need all to be arabic speaking and knowledgeable in the Quran and Hadit, they need to have had field experience.
If, when I and my children lived in the UK, a teacher had tried to do this I would have sued s/his ass off. Now I would insert the barrel of my SIG 210 up their left nostril and politely ask them NOT to do it again.
What do those people think they are?
They can insist that the phone be made silent and pupils do not initiate calls
Your argument is absolute nonsense (a) Global warming, if it ever existed, has stopped, except at NASA, where it is politicised hot air (b) the Science is far from setteled (c) the 'precautionary principle' is snake-oil
Alernative energy strategies need to be devised by engineers and rigorously costed.
Hint, the only thing that works today is fast fission nuclear, all the rest is expensive junk.
You need fewer lawyers and more enginners who are of strong character, not nerds to be pushed around ignorant jocks.
Seconded, and He certainly dosn't understand how irritating and anoying are his intervention in blogs eg "lwn.net" which are technical and we do not care for one who must have the political LAST WORD, again and again and...
That is part of the story, but it isn't all, to have multi-device-homed code you need to get all the BIG/LITTLE 16/32/64 ILP bugs out of your code, and that takes a long time, but both WNT and Linux are very modular with respect to architecture and tool chain, so that is not a lot of work.
SMP, Power Management, Work Queues and managing applications so the dont/cant kill the battery is hard, isolating the network and telephony is also easy.
As usual M$ will not be held back by basics but by sloth, lack of insight and perenially bad management.
Too little, too late, feature incomplete... EPIC FAIL! But I suspect the astroturfers, pumpers and Useful Idiots to be out in force.
I don't want agile development anywhere, but last of all in my phone or car.
In a phone, primarily I want a phone, with good 4+ days battery life, my N 3100 does that, fits in my car and mutes the entertainment system when using your phone so hands free is reasonably safe.
I need to re-boot, ie power off, my N95 once a week because Symbian goes dollaly.
Whe Bosch, who make the BMW and Mercedes engine/gearbox controllers, they started the same crap, UNTIL Bosch reverted. I do not need a car that gets BSOD.
A NewZeeland friend with a new 535i that did this had a relay system fitted that took Vcc off the ECR/TCS and put a 10 ohm 50 watt resistor across the Vcc input pins to discharge the internal capacitors. Pushing the button once a week made his car work, not leave him by the roadside once ever 3 months.
I have never heard such nonsense in my life, go back to CS201, multi-tasking is all about manageing multiple CPU entities and nothing at all to do with battery life or power management.
On one or many CPUs (cores) you need power management and background work management, see the LHML on Android sleep management.
Linux has had SMP for years and the BKL has just been removed from the last of the code. WNT inherited a BKL from the VAX VMS guys design, and you could never persuade people like Cutler that this was piss poor design!
Italy is different, they like sex and are not ashamed of it,
Tolerate alternative lifestyles, eg LBGT
Have some of the most passable/beautiful TS outside asia, and go to confession.
Burlisconi has few problems, at his age most Italians envy him, as in the US its only the PC liberals who hate success and fun, and at 74 who can grudge him that.

Quite apart from all the other good reasons why this is a BAD idea, it is another way to wase money a broke country dosn't have.

Excel, including VB macros work just fine in CrossoverOffice, ie Wine.
Note the purpose here is not to stop them running Windows apps, just to stop the base machine getting porned every 5 minutes
There are just two things:
(1) This does not solve the problem, only multi-lateral web of trust does that, ie PGP or X509 keys signed by your counterparties
(2) Obummer's Administration will get it all wrong so (a) we have many more years of scams (b) it will provide endless opportunity for DHS, TSA, CIA and FBI to act ultra-vires and outside the constitution.

Chess, and Go is 10x more important than 'jock' sports to education,
Should be emulated in US and UK!

Didn't you gyus invent the Tea Party to stop the legislative assholes, who have a massive sense of entitlement, from taxing anything that moves?

You are and idiot and should go back to school where you would learn that CO2 is NOT TOXIC
and we cannot remove it from the atmosphere since photosynthasis produce/depend on it and
so if you did all plants, and then us, would DIE
It is this kind og carap that makes me dispair of the warmists, they know nothing and are certain of
everything.
The problem in the USA once more comes to corporates .. so I absolutely agree
"a couple Execs with broken necks would sort this shit right out."

Consider Clinton, a paragon, of lying.
How naieve and stupid can you Yanks get?
Ever been to Italy, it is one of the most dis-organized and wonderful places on the planet.
And governing it is like hurding cats, Obama only has to deal with sheeple
Italy is different, they like sex and are not ashamed of it,
Tolerate alternative lifestyles, eg LBGT
Have some of the most passable/beautiful TS outside asia, and go to confession.

All this watch this crap is just a huge waste of time,
If you can read, and I know that is now rare in the US just do that,
If you have an imagination too the Porn is better.
