Air Traffic Controller's wee wee bathroom break caused flight delays
Are you kidding me...
An air traffic controller's bathroom break delayed the takeoff and landing of three planes last week at New Hampshire's largest airport.
Two Southwest Airlines flights circled Manchester-Boston Regional Airport for 18 minutes around 8 p.m. Friday. The takeoff of a medical flight delivering lungs to New Jersey was delayed by about 10 minutes because of the break.

This is How We Catch You Downloading
Written by enigmax on April 14, 2007
All over Europe thousands of people are being threatened with court action for allegedly sharing games like Dream Pinball 3D on P2P networks. Now, documents obtained by TorrentFreak show details of the anti-piracy company?s techniques for identifying alleged file-sharers on the internet and the gathering of claimed ?forensic quality? evidence for use in court cases.
Evidence
In March we reported in some detail about the case of 500 UK file-sharers being legally pursued following claims that they uploaded games from the German publisher ?Zuxxez? onto file-sharing networks.
Since then, many people have been in touch with the law firm who sent the threatening letters, demanding evidence that they actually did something. TorrentFreak has obtained copies of the latest letters and within the claimed evidence is a description of how the anti-piracy system used by Logistep AG (the company hired to track the alleged pirates) is supposed to work.
The cleverly named ?File Sharing Monitor? is the system being used by Logistep to gather evidence against file-sharers. It is actually just a modified version of the Shareaza P2P application that is configured to search for infringing files, and collect the information from the hosts that share these files.
The ?File Sharing Monitor? only targets Gnutella and eDonkey users, so it is still unclear how they track down BitTorrent users. Here is how it works:
1. The client connects to the P2P network, searches for sources of the infringing file, and collects the IP addresses that were gathered through the search.
2. The client requests to download (a piece of) the file from the host that was found through the search.
3. The filename, file size, IP-address, P2P protocol, P2P application, time, and the username are automatically inserted into a database, if the host permits the download.
4. This is the ?best? part. The application does a WHOIS search for the ISP information and automatically sends an infringement letter to the ISP if needed.
The claim is that the ?File Sharing Monitor? is totally foolproof and that it can provide forensic-quality information to a court in order that file-sharers be punished. The question remains whether an IP-address is sufficient evidence to sue a person for downloading copyrighted material. Recent cases suggest that the RIAA and the MPAA will need more evidence than that.
Here is the ?evidence? for the functioning of the Logistep system. You decide.

New Sony DVDs Not Working In Some Players
Posted by kdawson on Sunday April 15, @05:33PM
from the DRMed-out dept.
Sony Media Movies Entertainment
An anonymous reader writes "It seems that the most recent DVDs released by Sony ? specifically Stranger Than Fiction, Casino Royale, and The Pursuit of Happyness ? have some kind of 'feature' that makes them unplayable on many DVD players. This doesn't appear to be covered by the major media yet, but this link to a discussion over at Amazon gives a flavor of the problems people are experiencing. A blogger called Sony and was told the problem is with the new copy protection scheme, and they do not intend to fix it. Sony says it's up to the manufacturers to update their hardware."

Now that's what I call a good bitch..
I saw the start of this rumbling a few nights ago on IRC.. I'm naming no names, they can own up for hitting the button themselves if they choose.
Suffice to say, for a change it wasn't me reporting anything.
When I saw a comment about this elsewhere I thought ireland was pissed about nobody replying to any of his posts.. Be assured I read those that I have an interest in, and if I can think of something I try to at least make a funny comment about the content.. It's not nice feeling like you are posting into thin air... A common feeling in the console areas....

ireland.. a little FYI.. It wasn't like any sort of big discussion about it, just a comment between two mods. 2 lines at most.
Now what goes on in the mods lounge I don't know, and to be honest I don't really want to know what they get up to in that den of iniquity. I'm sure it's dubious to say the least, knowing what they like to talk about.
I haven't really taken much notice of what and where you have been posting things (I get confused which day it is) though it does seem to spread about a bit.. TBH I can't comment on whether there have been duplicate posts or not.. haven't gone searching..
Surely it's better to keep things in the threads they belong to.. easier to find and such.. rather than them being scattered all over.
I'm a regular of both the news and the vista threads because I like to keep up with things.. I didn't used to care but you got me interested in things like new releases, patches and faulty M$ updates.. What am I supposed to do with my reading time if you stop posting those huge articles (I know.. bugger off somewhere else and read it).. Maybe it was handled wrong? Don't have an opinion... being a member of the team that's between you and the moderators to sort out. If you are anything like me you only look at pm's every few days...
Anyway.. what I wanted to say I have.. don't go abandoning us news hungry fools.. we need our daily fix..
Hope everything is ok and a swift recovery and best wishes to all.. (I'm not good with this stuff sorry...)

I never posted a bitch on this thread but always enjoy reading it till now, so I quess I'll post one now.
I enjot the hell out of AD, I've been on other treads that mostly suck, but this really puts a bad taste in my mouth, and of course this is just my opinion, you know before I would ever pm a mod. you would probably have to threaten my family or something, even than I would ask for your address to take care of it myself, but to pm mods for silly things that really gets my goat, I mean isn't that like 2nd grade stuff, poeple snitching on one another, come on grow up.
I can just see it now, oh mister moderator, he hurt my feelings oh boo whoo now I need an anti-depressant mister mod man, come on people let the mods do thier job, they can see problem posts right away, they know what to do.
I wish my life was so uncomplicated that my big problem of the day was to pm a moderator, please people don't ruin AD for me and probably many other people by bieng snitches and cry babyies.
Ireland was right, if you had an issue pm the guy, I mean whats the worst that can happin, he might reply back and say, hey don't like it kiss my behind, eehh, I can live with that, or he just might say ok, got your point, sorry, now was that hard.

Ireland now you know how i felt when i was made to change my sig even though it wasn't breaking the rules, being it had to be someone that whined about it. i mean come on all they had to do was PM me. so the next sig i see that is drug related its going down too!!
one thing for sure the SV could use a good cleaning up!!!and what should be done is before you can open a thread in the SV a mod should have to OK it

- i agree 100% (don't take it all personally Ireland). I personally have to scroll thru 99% of them especially the long-winded ones, i've always got far too much to do, my poor old brain is far too busy for all this
Originally posted by ZIppyDSM:

- I agree very strongly with not being able to withstand randomness (again this is aimed at a few people, and again, see my other quotes)... If i want random i'll chat with friends or read the newspaper or mooch around the internet, my poor old mouse wheel has to work overtime scrolling thru so much forgettable stuff
Originally posted by creaky:
i notice far more than i comment on, just biding my time. been away for so long that i'm allowing some leeway, but endless pointless chatter around the Forums has gone on long enough, time for some action methinks
- this is aimed primarily at some of our older members. For instance, no-one minds the odd 'how are you' in a thread, as long as it's within a post (and a rare occurrence). You will note very very few posts of mine that are random and purely 'chatty'. I'm 'sort of older', and like a random chat as much as the next person. HOWEVER in the right place, NOT on (very) public forums. Good Grief, try to do the 3rd person on this...imagine you go to a brand new site you've never visited before, looking for techie help, from a google search for instance. Imagine how you'd feel, (probably struggling enough with the in's and out of computers as it is) only to fall upon a thread full of mindless chatter. Not a good impression (see my comment further down re cdfreaks). Note how easy it is to end up at Afterdawn from a google search, so we get a lot of newcomers every day, imagine the bad impression so many people must get....
These quotes are from the recent "what does it take to become a AfterDawn Addict ?" thread -
Originally posted by creaky:
..as to offensive reports, they are NOT used even a fraction of the amount they should be (trust me they're not, i won't give a figure of how few people actually frequently report infractions, you people would be somewhat shocked) but luckily us mods prowl all over the shop so we catch a fair few perps quickly, but it's a letdown re how few people hit that 'offensive pointless prat' button. i've said it in a few threads and i'll keep saying it, but unfortunately most regulars (you know who you are ) would rather chat about all sorts of irrelevant tosh across far too many threads than do something useful with their (obvious copious) free time.
- so people don't like reporting idiocy/rule breaking etc. There are posters who think it's silly and petty. Well guess what, i disagree, and not because i'm one of the idiots who has to clean up the crap. I was a normal poster here once, and even when i first joined, my feelings on all the things i've posted in the reply, were the same, i didn't want to read thru threads and have to put up with idiocy/profanities/childish banter/etc etc etc. Yet some of you bleat, cry, p**s and moan about rules/'injustices' apparently done to you, ie sig rules etc etc etc. GROW UP for goodness sake. If you can't cope, get off the computer, go outside and enjoy the fresh air, talk to yourselves if it helps, but stop cluttering up the forums with mind-numbing idiocy. The kiddies in the console forums are bad enough, but seeing these things in 'adult' forums gets my goat. I was away from AD for 3months, only to come back and see the same old crap.
Originally posted by creaky:
i lurk (ie and never post) on an obscenely unhealthy amount of threads, so i get to see how much crap does goes on. Oh and i forgot to mention, i notice a lot of 'help duplication' in threads, mainly the DVD Shrink Forum, am watching the situation a while longer first to see if it remedies itself
(the 'crap going on' mentioned here is random chatting btw)
Originally posted by creaky:
here's how i'll explain it... i lurk on a lot of cdfreaks threads (even post on some when i have time) and for instance, it's very rare (admittedly i only lurk in a couple forums) that i see threads go awhol (saw one last week) so when it happens it jumps out at me like a poke in the eye so i can imagine what people must think of too many AD threads. I only don't clamp down on it a fraction as much as i should because my replies would be seen far,far more in (adult) threads, such that it would take the edge off my presence, ie people would see me so often they'd ignore my quips/putdowns and pokes in the eye etc...
- i'm now out of steam, and some of you will still p**s and moan as if the world's coming to an end. At the end of the day, if you need to chat endlessly, go do it in a pub or something, keep it off these forums. We usually tolerate the odd thread full of mindless crap in case it keeps most the idiocy off other threads/forums, but it doesn't work, and there are posters here with way too much free time on their hands, both to post crap and to moan when their 'freedom' is threatened. When i first came to AD (and thru the following year) I used to have far too much free time so used to be all over the forums, but not with mindless chatter, i put my fingers to good use, ie helping people and reporting all the crap i stumbled across along the way. I wouldn't sift thru endless crap off people at work while dealing with techie problems, nor do i like reading thru thread/helping in threads, to have to step over so much crud along the way.

haha.
creaky, i feel for you mate. Your hard work and situation doesnt go unnoticed, dunno about anyone else, and im not brown nosing, but you and ddp and dRD, are the most respected by ME....and assume by other people.
*thumbs up*
P.S....@ ireland. I have no idea where any of that came from, i mustve missed a page of this thread, but i for one enjoy your hot news posts ireland, and everything you post, but you just have to put yourself in the place of the mods i suppose. I dont participate in any of the other safety valve threads so i dont actually know how many times you post the same things. In your defence though, i will add that sometime you just post links to a post in another thread... not actually posting pages and pages of the news in different threads.
Thanks ireland!![afterdawn legend]

My bitch du jour is that the "Old timers....say good morning, afternoon or evening thread" was closed; and we were having so much fun there. Ireland "laws" were hysterical and people were indeed using it to say good morning, afternoon or evening. I liked that thread.
Edit: I only just read the above remarks and I couldn't disagree more. When I first came to afterdawn, I was drawn into the "safety valve" by gear79 because we should "play" in the receivers / amplifiers forum. I give my two cents worth in those forums for which I have some knowledge to share but part of what attracted me (and I'm sure others) to AD was that there was both work and play and that "play" was brought to the appropriate place to keep the threads on track. Who got off topic more and made us laugh more than gear79 in the safety valve then we complain that things aren't as much fun as they use to be??? Who cares if certain threads go a bit adrift? That thread was one of the more popular, it always stayed in use and didn't just drift away like so many; at 67 pages and counting, members must have been having a good time (for a change) only to have it axed.
Some of Ireland articles are way over my head and there is no sense in my reading them. I have this nifty mouse with a little scroll wheel on it that lets me get past that article really quickly and without a great deal of effort. When I did undertand the articles, they were extremely helpful to me when I don't understand them, well, there I go with that little wheel thing again!
Lord, this place use to be so much fun. Now its about as much fun as a root canal.

ireland, I normally don't say much about anything that goes on in these forums. I glean the good stuff and throw out the BS. I always look forward to the articles you post, no matter what thread. If it wasn't on the subject, I always considered it a bonus when it came from you. I'll keep reading where ever you post and keep enjoying what I read. You seem to have a good since of humor. Thanks for your articles. George

Gerry, this is the kind of thing i mean. No-one needs to feel the need to leave or go anywhere, but this isn't a drop-in centre, we can all be sociable and have fun, but surely without the endless chatting ?.
Good job this isn't real life, otherwise i'd be p***ed off that my comments fall on deaf ears all the time. I'm only trying to make the place a bit more how it should be, as are the other mods, yet some of you take it all so personally. It's the internet people, it's not real, but we have to look out for the newcomers, who must think it's a gigantic instant messaging chatroom, we have enough of that in the kiddie's forums.
Fun is fine, but certain 'fun' threads need more restraint from you all.. then we wouldn't have to close them then hand out handkerchiefs/provide counselling to all the mourners..
(yes i'm a touch sarcastic there but as ever i wonder why i bother wasting my time on these forums). I'm off to use the rest of my day off doing something productive like fix one of my PC's that isn't playing ball. And do my chatting on MSN...
