Aircraft systems are very carefully design and tested. The chances of taking control with a smart-phone, as the article suggests, are remote. While it is tempting to speculate over what happened to MH370 (and it fills a lot of newspaper columns), I suggest keeping in mind that hundreds of people are missing, with thousands of worried relatives. -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
