The future of US Army helicopters: pilots optional

April 28, 2010 by Sean Hollister
The future of US Army helicopters: pilots optional Five years ago, the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter got a digital cockpit and fly-by-wire controls. Starting in 2011, the US Army would like it to perform missions without a pilot at the helm. In a 140-page "Unmanned Aircraft Systems Roadmap" released earlier this month, the Armed Forces reveal that the UH-60, AH-64, CH-47 and OH-58D whirlybirds will all be part of a new aircraft category called Optionally Piloted Vehicles (OPV) -- meaning in future, the flick of a switch will turn them into giant UAVs. If an unmanned Apache gunship makes your boots quake, you're not alone, but you won't truly have reason to fear until 2025. That's when the government estimates half of all Army aircraft will be OPV, and those bots will learn the more deadly behaviors, like swarming. Sikorsky says the unmanned UH-60M will fly later this year; read the full roadmap PDF at our more coverage link.The future of US Army helicopters: pilots optional originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 28 Apr 2010 07:13:00 EST.

So I recently switched linux distros on my web server that hosts this wordpress blog. I tar’d up my wordpress files and dumped a database backup as well. I copied those files to my local machine and then performed the re-install. After the install, I imported the wordpress database, transferred back the wordpress files and all seemed to work well.

I noticed a day later that my wordpress permalinks were broken. All of the pages were displaying a 404 error. I confirmed that I had the apache mod_rewrite enabled and that the .htacess file was being re-written. I switched back to the default permalinks (?p=145) and the site worked as expected. For search engine optimization, however, I needed to figure out the custom wordpress permalinks issue. I tried a few wordpress plugins to resolve the missing permalinks with no solution to be found.
