The Geeks go it alone in this episode, but despite the lack of an aviation guest we manage to have a great time talking aviation.

The week’s aviation news:

David’s Aircraft of the Week is the Lockheed Model 10 Electra.

In this week’s Australia Desk report, Grant flys solo this week and covers a few headlines, an overly accurate mood-sensing music system, and some voice mails.

Find more from Grant and Steve at the Plane Crazy Down Under podcast, and follow the show on Twitter at @pcdu. Steve’s at @stevevisscher and Grant at @falcon124.

In the Across the Pond segment, Gareth Stringer and Tim Robinson talk with Pieter Johnson about aviation news items from Europe. Making the cut this week is the Neuron-UCAV, the RAF buying second hand transport aircraft and the latest idea for runway capacity in the UK.

Pieter can be found on Twitter as @Nascothornet or XTP Media’s Facebook Page.

Using a recaptcha to prove you're not a script

Spam is a scourge for all websites, so webmasters have to take measures to ensure that thier sites are protected. One of the best ways of protecting a site is to create a task on the signup/commenting forms, that only a human can do with reasonable accuracy. CAPTCHAs ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") as shown below ask you to read some distorted text, which the average computer finds very hard to do.

You can use the control buttons in the captcha to help you as follows.

Refresh Button - If you're having trouble working out the words to enter, you can request a new set of words, without having to submit your form by pressing the refresh button.

Audio Button - Alternatively if you have trouble with your vision, you can use the audio CAPTCHA, pressing the audio button will playback a set of words for you to type in.

The words you enter need not have the same uppercase/lowercase as the images shown, the system ignores case, likewise it only uses the characters a-z and 0-9, so you dont have to enter any odd characters, accents etc.

 
Please prove you're a real person and not a computer program up to no good.
