It was a shortage of computer memory in the $2.4 billion air traffic control system while a U-2 spy plane flew over southwestern US that caused LAX computers to crash and hundreds of flights to be delayed on April 30. “In theory, the same vulnerability could have been used by an attacker in a deliberate shut-down,” security experts told Reuters. Now that the “very basic limitation of the system” is known, experts expressed concerns about aviation cyberattacks. $2 billion air traffic control system failure blamed on shortage of computer memory
Lockheed Martin, which created the En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) air traffic control system, claims it conducts "robust testing" on all its systems, yet the lack of altitude information in the U-2’s flight plan caused the automated system to cycle off and on trying to fix the error.
According to researchers with MITRE and other experts, this hybrid system is the FAA’s first challenge as a system made up of both IP-connected and point-to-point subsystems increases the potential for the point-to-point systems to be compromised because of the increased connectivity to the system as a whole provided by the IP-connected systems, the GAO stated.
“The older systems are difficult to access remotely because few of them connect from FAA to external entities such as through the Internet. They also have limited lines of direct connection within FAA. Conversely, the new information systems for NextGen programs are designed to interoperate with other systems and use IP networking to communicate within FAA. According to experts, if one system connected to an IP network is compromised, damage can potentially spread to other systems on the network, continually expanding the parts of the system at risk,” the GAO stated.
Nope, I'm not as old as you and I've been in IT for decades, the UI is getting weird from my point of view. Take Google+ and Youtube... worst UI ever. I don't want to say I am not adapting, I want to say this generation has it's own version of logic and UI design.
It's probably a bit of both, I admit I am no longer enchanted with gadgets and tech, living on a farm with no tech around sounds good in that romanticized way we look at things when we dream.
Look at how the LA schools iPad program turned out. Also note that there is an article stating the sensors on the watch may not with dark skin... LOL... Really Apple? http://fusion.net/story/60771/...
Once, a long time ago, I read an article stating that flying was the 2nd most dangerous mode of travel, (1st was motorcycle) but the author stressed it depends on how you look at it. Miles travelled, or per trip.

OK lets adjust that..

Funny, I can recall arguing to make politicians jobs revolve around self interest, their self interest, as that is possibly the only way to get them to do anything (in our interest).
Be careful if you're a HAM, locally I was able to find the name, address, and other information of callsigns with a simple look up. In this case not a big deal but be aware that anyone can look you up via your callsign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Interesting, see which country has the most.
Other than that kudos to these people as they are often the last working line of communication.
Possibly this could help sagging local retailers, the matching of routes with people needing a ride means 2 things done at once reducing emissions. There's some good potential here, I wonder if Uber can implement this correctly.
Additionally, since this information is "readily available" you could have posted it, and put and end to it, instead you chose to be lazy and just bitch, you must be a millennial, I see that behavior everyday.
No he does, I'm tired of assholes just "saying it is so", provide data or GTFO, until then I stand with my assessment, that the USA has shitty internet and Comcast is a bunch of greedy termites that should be dismantled the same way ATT was previously.
Fuck Comcast, fuck Verizon, fuck the FCC, and fuck this government of greedy poltroons.
Slashdot Mirror
Tar and feather the CEO's of Comcast, break it up, and force upgrades to the existing network.
They keep raising prices and selling the same shitty service... they have a name for this kind of deal..
Side note: spell check keeps trying to put "compost" in place of "Comcast", maybe machine intelligence does exist.
Probably not, and the system shat it's self when a single U2 spy plane flew into the air space at 60K feet.
Apparently it tried to check all aircraft/altitudes for collision courses and then took a giant shit and crashed.

Satellites better at tracking "drones", I think not.

Oh... and you will need another entirely new system to accommodate drones.

So basically you're a pig that actually thinks smoking is a good idea?

Perfect...
There won't be any jail or doctors after rioting because of this.

Implementation is another thing entirely.

This is something I could totally support.

Yet you provide no data for your claim.
50 million illegals have moved into this country, I think the urban density is far higher than you imagine, or that is documented.
LOL, lots of Comcast employees here...
What's it like working for thieving termites?
