  1. What about the ... on Computer Error Caused Qantas Jet Mishap · · Score: 1

    Okay so it wasn't someones phone that did it, but this is not the first instance of aircraft instrument trouble in that area. Now what else is in the area of Exmouth? 1 : The phased antenna array, 2 : Pine gap .. Americas installation which is part of the echalon program. now both of these, the phased antenna array in particular pump out massive amounts of em interference. Since this isnt the first instance of plane trouble in the area, merely the most reported/ serious, maybe they should look into the EM in the area and see if that could be having an effect. Thats alot more EM then all the mobile phones in Perth city put together. I know the airbus systems are pretty heavily computerised, but I am not sure about how hardened they are. I know someone on here said they are an auto pilot engineer. Thoughts?

  2. Clarion? on Best Reference Site For Each Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    I don't know if anyone else has encountered this language, it's basically a database language that I have to do some work on shortly, however I have been unable to find a reference for it! If anyone does know of one please let me know :) It's the obscure licensed languages that are the killer - they don't like explaining the language.
