You know how when you put up a new question, you get N minutes to edit that question before the edits start showing up in the edit history?
Are you folks able to see the full edit history, including changes made in those minutes?
@DannyBeckett - I am pretty sure the Hans Gruber answer I wrote answered the original question. I don't remember there being anything about "security measures", just about "What prevents"
But I had just woken up moments ago and was posting from my phone, so my memory is unreliable.
I noticed that the question said "security measures" after I got done posting the answer, but by then it was time to go to work and I figured if it got downvoted I'd just delete it later.
not too shabby, got parts for the ipad mount today, gonna have to match up the holes with part of my radio rack cover & probably change out a few nuts though
I'mma have to see if my machine shop buddies have an appropriate set of nuts for this mount (the ones RAM supplies look like rivnuts, but...aren't -- which is for the best since I think rivnuts are god's way of saying "Fine, don't repent. We'll just skip right to plagues and punishment.")
I always feel kinda bummed out when professional athletes (especially the million-dollar-paycheck kind, or in this case half-million) feel the need to cheat. You're a starter in the fricking majors, what the hell? It doesn't get much better than this, don't put pine tar on your neck.
@ratchetfreak while true, I can see it being a big deal in sports like.. oh I don't know.. javelin throw, where you literally only make money when you're the winner. But in Baseball, or Soccer, or whatever, where you get paid a six figure salary even if you're not the best of the best of the best... not so much
You can sometimes ping a user even if their name isn't autocompleted, and conversely sometimes the name of unpingable users is completed. This is because your browser decides whether to autocomplete, whereas the server decides whether the @user mention generates a ping, and they base their decisi...
24 April 1929: At Roosevelt Field, Mineola, Long Island, New York, 17-year-old Elinor Smith set a Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) world duration record by staying aloft in a Bellanca CH 300 Pacemaker for 26 hour, 21 minutes, 32 seconds. FAI Record File Num #12217 [Direct Link] Status: ratified – superseded since approved Region: World Class: C […] The post 24 April 192…
24 April 1939: Curtiss-Wright’s prototype fighter, the XP-40, was evaluated by the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA) at the Langley Field, Virginia laboratory in March and April 1939. The new aircraft was a production P-36A Hawk, serial number 38-10, modified by replacing its original air-cooled 14-cylinder radial engine with a 1,710.6-cubic-inch-displacement (28.02 liters…
24 April 1943: The first class of the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots, Class 43-1, graduated from the four-month flight training program and earned their wings as U.S. Army pilots. The class entered with 38 trainees and 24 graduated. Each woman had a civil pilot’s license and at least 200 hours of flight time. Over 25,000 […] The post 24 April 1943 appeared first on This Day …
24 April 1967: On his second flight into space, Cosmonaut Vladimir Mikhailovich Komarov lost electrical power when a solar panel on his Soyuz-1 capsule failed to completely deploy. Soon the automatic and then the manual stabilization controls failed. Communications were failing. After 13 orbits it was decided to abort the mission. On the 19th orbit the retrorockets fired and the re-entry [̷…
@Falstro I am developing international standards and technical specifications for surveillance systems, both one the airborne and the ground domain. And I build software that monitors the compliance of surveillance avionics with these standards.
@Federico, I lived there for a while as well, probably for the same reason :-)
From Dictionary.com Spook 1. Informal. a ghost; specter. 2. Slang. a ghostwriter. 3. Slang. an eccentric person. 4. Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. a black person. 5. Slang. an espionage agent; spy.
mine would be "I am developing international standards and technical specifications for surveillance systems, both one the airborne and the ground domain. And I build software that monitors the compliance of surveillance avionics with these standards."
24 April 1990, 12:33:51 UTC: Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-31) lifted off from Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Florida, on a mission to place the Hubble Space Telescope in Earth Orbit. The STS-31 flight crew were Loren J. Shriver, Commander; Charles F. Bolden, Jr., Pilot; Steven A. Hawley, Mission Specialist; Kathryn […] The post 24 April 1990, 12:33:51 UTC,…
I have been passionate about aviation since I was young. I wanted to become a pilot for a commercial airline for a long time but I decided that it would be good to do develop my technical skills as well. So before going to flight school, I started aerospace engineering. Never went to flight school afterwards.
Some of my friends started to work at Airbus or Fokker, they worked on quite some interesting projects from the start
Oh that sounds so much like me: I wanted to become a pilot too but I found my passion in physics and engineering and I found the pay to be pretty good as an AE too!
I am an independent consultant, I work for the highest bidder/ most fun job. I started to develop simulations for air traffic control, from there I moved into replaying some radar tracks. That got me involved into the development of new systems and international standardisation
The aviation industry is not so big and many people did AE because is sounded nice and provided an challenge, but they are not specially passionate about aviation.
@shortstheory You still could only use it on very few roots. Pax aircraft are not allowed above mach 1 in the states. the use of such an aircraft is pretty limited
the Concorde nearly flew above the O3 layer, but the net radiation exposure was lower than on subsonic transatlantic flights due to the much shorter flight time
I just edited this question twice, because I had left a typo in the title after the first edit. In the revision history, both edits seem to have been merged into one, using the edit summary from the second edit.
Is this on purpose? Is there a grace period for correcting edits?
@TheFlyingEngineer a better description might be a lack of pressure in space, as sound waves require pressure to propagate, not necessarily air as the medium.
@SteveV. I just answered a question on the SE Meta Sandbox and edited it. There is no history, and it doesn't show up in the users activity as a revision either, so I guess we'll never know unless you ask the OP. :-)
sounds like something that would have fit better over here.... http://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/26350/can-you-get-sucked-tight-on-a-planes-toilet
@Manfred it's part of the close dialog if you have the privileges. You can vote to migrate it elsewhere, though I'm honestly not sure how that works on a beta site like this where we don't have defined migration paths yet. You'd have to click through the close dialog and see what it gives you.
In the right column in this window, when clicked on a person's icon, it shows how long ago that person has been seen and has talked. What exactly tells seen? For all users in a room, seen is always a few seconds or 1-2 minutes ago.
@Farhan if there isn't already an answer on meta, feel free to ask it there. balpha is likely the only person who knows off-hand how it works.
@Lnafziger I just checked in the database out of curiosity, and we don't even store grace period edits in the post history, which surprises me a little. So it looks like there's no way to know what may have changed during that time. cc @SteveV.
I've noticed that the "seen" in chat is different from the "seen" in user profiles which changes when the user refreshes the page. How does it work for chat?
@BretCopeland its not that surprising. If you click edit on a post you just edited it loads with the edit reason pre-filled with the last edit (e.g. added 1192 characters in body) and (at least for me) gives the impression that its just letting you edit the edit
@Farhan Smart people know better than to threaten me - threats just give me a warning period in which to reinforce my defenses and prepare plausible alibis.
