I answered further up but: yes, it did. The DUAL INPUT alarms were audible in the cockpit voice recording. However, unbeknowst to the captain, the co-pilot used priority takeover on his side. (This was always visible on the panel + there wa

There was both an audio and a visual indication of DUAL INPUT (light on the panel + "dual input" announced verbally). The co-pilot commanded priority take-over (from the pilot, who had just second previously done the same) without

Indeed! Seems like there are quite a few aviators here on HN. I'll be impressed the day I casually see someone mention a Robin DR400 aircraft... (more or less unknown in the US, but the most common training aircraft here in France, and

I'm not in the start-up world personally but from I understand it's all rather vibrant. I went to Vivatech and was, despite the lack of air in the building, quite impressed with the sheer number of start-ups present. Having French

I really don't see why this is international news. One supermarket chain in France gives a substantial discount on a product that kids love, some people in a few of these stores go nuts, this is then filmed and uploaded to the intern

Ah yes, I remember stumbling into this page when looking for cold-case/solved mystery stories. I got through all 13 pages in one afternoon! Excellent story and writing.

Fair point, that was an error on my part. I've corrected it with a note of the change right below it. Thanks for pointing it out!

That and I never understood why knödel never took off. I love knödel! I actually brought some back the last time I was in Germany (before learning I could buy them right here in Paris).

Ha! Good catch :) English is my primary language as well but turns out living in a French-speaking country will do this to you.

Not sure; I'm in Europe. But I've read on forums that some (all?) of these don't work with American frequencies. Edit: Found it! [Manual][2] says "You can only use your device on the GSM 900, 1800 MHz networks." [2]

I recently got one of the [Nokia classic phones][1] and frankly, it's such a breath of fresh air. I know, I know, I'm being nostalgic and it can't possibly replace my iPhone but it does do several things much more efficiently

Great question! YouTube. I don't use YouTube at all for music recommendations/discovery but every once in a while, I'll chance upon something amazing. A comment on an upload of Seventh Wonder's The Great Escape[0] led me

This is fantastic! I know next to nothing about number theory (despite my interest in primes) and this had me in stitches. Thanks for the link.

Excellent question! I found the CERN Virtual Atom Smasher [0], which you might find interesting. I haven't personally played with it enough to be able to tell you how it is; it is directly from CERN, though. 0: http://test4t

That's one of the reasons I like 'em. And this is a designer talking! Sure, a nice simple base CSS could fix line width, letterspacing, general kerning... but I'd much rather take plain old HTML that I can access from pretty
