What is Digg?211 Comments
- seanpackage, on 03/07/2008, -5/+105Seriously? This has nothing to do with World of Warcraft?
- iceeblue, on 03/07/2008, -18/+82Dugg because it is not a duplicate for me. Why does everyone get so upset over duplicates. If you have seen it move past it. If enough people like it will go to the front page for a second visit, so what? Why does this generate so much venom in people?
Anyway neat 11 cup holders! - slimjim5811, on 03/07/2008, -4/+32What does *that* button do?
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -3/+30I can't find the topless air stewardess in that picture.

Um... Wow...
Really, how many times can this appear on digg? - BossKey, on 03/07/2008, -2/+25It lights up a sign that says "Please do not press this button again"
- strikerK, on 03/07/2008, -7/+29How dare you resize my window.
man that ticks me off. - undersky, on 03/07/2008, -1/+22just fyi, the funny round bulge thing in front of each QWERTY keyboard is wrist rest.
the weird looking handle under the window is window opener
the circular handle next to it is steering wheel for taxing
the rope on the ceiling is for pilot to emergency exit the plane thru window (escape rope)
the seats look quite tight but actually move all the way back for easy access
there is a laptop pull up tray in front of each seat.
the red button on the joystick is to gain control of the plane (from the other pilot).
oh thee is also a ceiling mount camera looking at the cockpit, this is for passengers to look at the cockpit via the inflight entertainment system. there is also a camera installed on the tail overlooking the plane. how awesome is that! - honorableSimon, on 03/07/2008, -5/+24I'm glad someone else noticed.
- sfury, on 03/07/2008, -8/+26i'm in your aeroplanez
pushing randomly lots of buttonz - derian22, on 03/07/2008, -20/+37this was just on the front page, ass.
- binford04, on 03/07/2008, -2/+18Which button is the inflatable co-pilot?
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -5/+18Well since they won't let us go play with the captain anymore and instead put him behind barricaded walls, this is a great way to see the inside of a cockpit. There you go all you future terrorists, learn it well.
No but seriously, this was way cooler than I thought it would be. Looks amazing and the 360 degree adds a nice touch. - knightblade2oo4, on 03/07/2008, -2/+14oh i know you did not just resize my browser window...
- Shinobi326, on 03/07/2008, -3/+13Seriously... That was the first comment that crossed my brain when I saw the link.
- Swarms, on 03/07/2008, -1/+11I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
- centran, on 03/07/2008, -2/+11This has been on before so to answer some of the common questions.
They fly it with the joystick. The little red "fire" button of the joystick is for Autopilot. The joysticks can be used together. There is a way to override one or the other and the computer fixes "stupid" actions like pushing the joystick in opposite directions. To the left or right is a compartment for an escape rope.
If you look straight up... having those alarms go off would be very bad. If you look futher back... yes that is a camera. - allywilson, on 03/07/2008, -0/+9Look straight up...Hal 9000...
- renatoc8, on 03/07/2008, -0/+9Google.
- cyrax04, on 03/07/2008, -3/+11Seriously, wtf. Buried.
- cl2yp71c, on 03/07/2008, -2/+10I'm looking for any cavities from which snakes can crawl out of.
- chris4404, on 03/07/2008, -3/+11Wait a minute, this isn't Azeroth.
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -4/+12360 degrees?! Damn, that's more than 359 degrees!
- boonesfarm, on 03/07/2008, -0/+7It's the new epic flying mount for Lich King. Better start farming.
- rspeed, on 03/07/2008, -0/+7This is why we have a question mark; sentence structure isn't always enough.
- xero9, on 03/07/2008, -2/+9This is Digg, where the whiny little babies of the internet come and voice their dislike for stuff
- joepodcaster, on 03/07/2008, -0/+7The video camera in the cockpit reminds me of a story I heard about a captain who used to (back in the day) leave the cockpit door open for takeoff so the passengers could look up the aisle and see what was going on. Then, just before takeoff he would slip on a big, hairy gorilla-hand he got from some costume shop somewhere. He'd reach up with this gorilla arm and slowly push the throttles up for takeoff while the passengers watched. He got quite a few laughs, but he also got talked to by his chief pilot.
I'd like to hear from someone who can verify this story and maybe put me in touch with the pilot who used to do this. I'd like to talk to him for my podcast. He might have been with Western airlines ... he must be retired by now. If you know anyone who knows more about this, please ask them to email me at joepodcaster@gmail.com. Thanks - topace3000, on 03/07/2008, -2/+9Good thing the wow's official. It made me feel kinda sick twisting the view around, actually.
- ArmandoM, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6No, in case the pilot, co-pilot, and navigator all eat fish for dinner.
- xero9, on 03/07/2008, -5/+11Well I didn't see it then. Maybe you should get outside instead of browsing Digg all ***** day
- ElGanyan, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7Absolutely.
I remember back when I was a kid (80s) being allowed to visit the cockpit midflight and actually sit in the pilots chair (yes the co-pilot was there eying my eager fingers), sadly those days are gone thanks to the "terrorists," fear mongers and their obedient sheeple like you. - honorableSimon, on 03/07/2008, -2/+8I know, I was disappointed too... sort of.
- sonicularulus, on 03/07/2008, -5/+11this was on digg before.
but still cool and deserves a double digg - DeskFlyer, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7For comparison, here's the cockpit of a 1959 Boeing 707: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Qantas-(Qantas-Foun ...
- staffa, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Yea nice, but still websites that pull that bs are not worth the going to, ever.
- carguy84, on 03/07/2008, -0/+51) HUD is sweet
2) The tailcam is sweet
3) Side yoke unsweet
4) FSX should have this plane... - Audacitor, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5On a completely unrelated note, did anyone know that bird used to be slang woman? Like today's chick or babe.
- Ryan166, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Airbus? Dey took our jobzz!!!!
- ButchersBoy, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Well said. Digging the comment, burying the article. News moves fast and we don't like it twice.
- rspeed, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Where nothing can possiblie go wrong. PossiBLY go wrong. That's the first thing that's ever gone wrong.
- Zedizdead, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Since I have a life, I don't get to visit digg on a daily basis. So thanks for posting it again!
- Cytranic, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4You push it once, you have to push it again every 108 minutes.
- ElGanyan, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4The Airbus I flew on last summer had the "rudder cam" feature which they left running during takeoff and landing. Quite a unique experience.
- rspeed, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4Oh, I see. You posted a blind link to YouTube claiming it was relevant to the story, but instead the video is the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
VERY CLEVER! - mrjit, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4I like the lunch bag holder directly above the pilots seat. I need one of those in my car.
- ArmandoM, on 03/07/2008, -2/+6Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -1/+5What *****, no cup holder for the beer...
- thefallofbrad, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3cup holders activated!
- Iwantawii, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3let's bring it back!!
- FluffyWolf, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3Yes, I had expected a more modern look. All Airbus cockpits has a similar look I believe I have heard, so that switching planes would be easy/safer for the pilot, so the cockpit might have been "designed" in the early 90's or 80's. Well obviously it isn't designed, but rather "constructed".
