| 830869 | 2009-11-17 03:38:00 | Amazing. A coherent, intelligent article on stuff.co.nz!! Never thought I'd live to see the day! He is spot on about testing. Although the extent of my foray into coding is some basic html and a few macros in Word and Excel. I prefer breaking other people's code :D |

| 830871 | 2009-11-17 18:25:00 | 'Aircraft have cracks and other structural defects'!!! Now I am seriously worried. :eek::eek: And so you should be. The new 'composite' (ie carbon fibre) materials used on aircraft are difficult to assess for cracks / damage. Cases like the entire rudder / tial area shearing off are kinda characteristic of composites. They used to test for faults, delamination by tapping and listening to the sound off these parts... but the composites don't reveal their faults this way.... so how do you know if that hefty use of rudder approaching Wellington has stressed the tail? How do you know if the lightening strike has or hasn't weakened the structure? Frankly, I'm happy to stict with the older, metal planes for the meantime. |

| 830876 | 2009-11-18 02:03:00 | I think this article is out of touch with the fact that Win 7 is prob 60% based on Vista obviosuly with some major code re-writes. A lot has historically been corrected in Vista which is why the Win 7 release has been pretty smooth (didnt say perfect). Under the release of XP or Vista this article would have been correct, in fact it was pretty much the advice i remember giving, but not this time with Win 7. I believe Win7 is fine for home and small business use now, but still wouldn't introduce it into a cooperate environment just yet. |
