      Am I the only one who is disappointed that the aeroplanes operated by Delta Airlines don't have delta wings?
      (Technically do because Delta own the wings on the plane but I meant delta wings like a Vulcan bomber, a Mirage or the Concord)

      That's next on their list after they buy that much needed UPS.

      And after replacing their systems with something newer then Windows 3.1.

        Again hence why I drive if at all possible 😛

        She's seen the systems the airlines use! Everybody drive!

        I wonder how many IT people that work for airlines actually fly on those airlines...

        For those unaware: I don't know that @Minion-Queen has seen the systems airlines use, it's just really very obvious after the news story.

          Because Delta doesn't fly 😉

            I have seen what the flight attendants use at the gates. Let's just say it is not a even slightly up to date system.

                    You don't tend to notice things when you are on a lot of meth.

                      There has to be an awesome People of Walmart meme for this.

                              Single point of failure with the switchgear, surprised there wasn't a backup. Usually they have devices that monitor this kind of thing and automatically switch over.

                                Can't? No, they can. Won't? No, because they don't care.

                                  Im sure that generator would cost less than the predicted millions that it will cost delta because of this.

                                            Just heard that a small ISP north of Hamburg offers 1GBit/s sync FTTH, cable TV and phone including landline calls etc for 80 EUR per month without any throttling or traffic limit. 500 MBit/s sync would be 20 EUR less. I moved from the area they are operating in like 5 or 6 years ago...
