        <description><![CDATA[Do we need Techrepublic to publish an Aesop's Fables book for users?   All these stories that we collect need to be collated for the general user. My story is here:Students use the computers in lecture halls to give presentations. More than once I have come in to the lecture hall to give my lecture and discovered a USB stick already plugged in. In one case  exploring the stick showed that the students CV/resume was on it, so I was able to get it returned to him. The moral of the story is to always have a small file on a USB stick that identifies the owner.  In my case it is a text file called 'this is mine' that has my name email address, and mobile phone number.   A text file so that it can be read by any computer operating system.]]></description>

I've shared it with my colleagues at my day job.I actually had intended to share a blog post (cautionary tale) that I wrote and get your thoughts:http://blog.mladams.com/2012/09/is-frugality-costing-you-fortune-in.htmlI also wrote a more technical post describing how I fixed the problems on the same blog, but this link is for the end users.Thanks, Mike A.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I discovered that it is common for regulators to harass flight maintenance centers to death - the idea being that if anything goes wrong - they can show either records or bulletins that &quot;something&quot; was wrong. It got so bad in the early '90s that my brother's boss finally had to pull some strings. It turns out his boss was hand picked to run maintenance for President Johnson in the sixties; he was an Army Aviation section leader, and was highly STRAC. So the FAA pulled the inspector from his location and sent him to - Alaska, I think - that is - if he didn't quit! HA!My brother was more interested in keeping the helicopters flying and not falling out of the sky. Every time another customer dropped from his business, they had a flying coyboy, geologist, or police pilot die from a crash. Every time it ended up being a maintenance issue that the FAA concluded was A&amp;P related. One thing for sure - my brother sleeps real good at night!]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-394647-3700885]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[I was chief pilot/director of ops of a corporate flight department. I wrote the whole op, including the maintenance schedules. (yet another wild story, I grounded the dept and insisted my predecessor was doing it wrong... imagine a &quot;new hire&quot; immediately shutting down the op)We had a 'whole house' inspection one day, a fellow not known to be prone to vindictiveness, but a serious hard ass nonetheless.To get to the point, when he was done ripping every detail apart he could find nothing wrong. He outright admitted that regardless, he had to find something to fault us on, something about justifying his job.So here's what he came up with...One aircraft had Pratt and Whitney PT6-11 power plants, which are also used in marine applications. There was a service bulletin out for the marine-only applications, in fact it involved parts that don't even exist on the airplane version. The directive clearly stated not only that it applied only to marine systems, it mentioned, for clarity, tat it was definitely NOT applicable to the Cheyenne I (the only plane to be cursed with these down rated sulfur gathering beasts)Well, there's a bulletin, and it mentions PT6-11... the FAA fellow asked me where the log book entry was for this not-an-AD. Um... we don't need one.He insisted, and wrote me up for it. He said he's be back in a few weeks to see we'd &quot;straightened out this situation.&quot;We were in western New York, our Cheyenne maint was handled by a specialist firm in Groton Connecticut. I called and explained the deal, and they couldn't stop laughing. We arranged to mail the logs, they make the entry and mail back.In the end it said something very close to &quot;P&amp;W service bulletin XXXX is not applicable to aircraft installations.&quot;I think the shop was impressed with the outcome of my 'grilling,' but they were relentless about this, every chance they could a joke would slide out referencing putting whatever in the logs. eg I'd come back from lunch (waiting for some minor day maintenance) and someone would grab a log book and pen, and ask me what I had for lunch, pretending to be writing it down.I'm glad I bailed when I did. I can't imagine what I would do to some lowbrow with blue gloves trying to grope my executives before they get on their own damn plane. (They are starting to show up at general aviation)When we dissolved out department I had a few job offers to fly Gulfstreams. They all entailed being on the road far more than being home, and I had young boys at the time.But one of the things that turned me off was they all also showed me the handguns secretly stashed in the cockpit and elsewhere, and told me I'd have to be proficient (and fast) with them, because in a lot of their remote destinations you deal in huge wads of US money.I'd say a non-sworn &quot;officer&quot; with a 85 IQ and blue rubber gloves groping my passengers and bossing me around would warrant a measure of lead in their a$$... I'd be soooo tempted. ..but deliver us from evil.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[You're right, people may measure their skills, success or whatever against themselves, some standards, or what other people accomplish, and may lose sight of the reason for being in the process.The good news, I suppose, is this A&amp;P ended up being an inspector for the FAA. Thought we didn't relish seeing them coming, in the long run you do want a hard-a$$ wearing that hat.BTW he tried hard to get me to join the agency, too. I ran a perfect general aviation op (I mean perfect, I have a funny story about an inspection..) and he knew literally nobody else did, and wanted me to crack heads. (I'd know where the skeletons are buried)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[and the men that do it; but if I were a passenger on a flight that revealed what THAT A&amp;P mechanic thought about people on board, I might select to go ground route. Dont' get me wrong - I got a brother that knows it is a fly or die world, and he is so anal about his work, he would probably commit Seppuku rather than face failure of technical proficiency !  He'd be mad as hell at failure, because he is so into accuracy and job proficency, that he would be just as dissapointed at not catching mechanical failure as losing precious lives. Also don't get me wrong that he, or I for that matter, consider our job history as more important than people's lives - we are as proud of our good work, as if we flew in the aircraft our selves.To many of our friends are helicopter and weather modification pilots, and we consider their lives irreplaceable, just as we do ourselves. I just want to emphasis that there are still those who's work ethic is at Mt. Everest level, not at AFL CIO union level!!]]></description>

Its a pity that common sense methods of dealing with such panic headlines arent included with each new PC/Laptop by law. Oh and that includes 'you inherited a fortune....'
