They only pretend to have rights. See what happens when the people are disarmed? Now, who is going to stand up to the overseers?

Only the Government has rights, according to everything I've seen there and Australia.

Hasn't his company heard about the laws in individual states that prohibit this? Who is held responsible for the Spam? The company, sure, but if/when they hear that he designed and built such a beast? You think he has a chance to avoid being named as an individual as well as a corporate entity? I don't think so.

I thought about this. I don't care how much you want to build flight time or pad your log book, this would be a good deal for someone who was extremely dedicated or almost dead and likes reading cereal boxes for days at a time.

Would be a good deal for a young pilot, but I'd bet they don't fly 3,001 hours as they will find someone else at three thousand.

and this looks like the most god-awful BORING thing on Earth. Sounds like Guard Rail flights. Eight hours of mind numbing boredom.

I would like to see the turn over rate of their pilots. Bet it's higher than the dot coms at the height of the stock market boom.

I'll buy it. Would be cheaper in the long run

Probably could have been a hell of a movie if you had someone do it right and create an 8 hour movie-a-thon.

No trailers? 2.0 stereo? Yeech. As the review says, there's better remixes of '60s TV series.

I'll pass, thanks though.

They hype something they don't understand without the slightest inkling of what is going on and couldn't care less about researching it. It sounds good, it makes for a good story, but they don't bother to find out what actually can be done or what can actually be useful. Just out to hype sound bytes and fill columns with horsehockey about what THEY think 'the common person' wants to hear or push their political agenda. Remember, most of the media is against the 'net because that makes them lose their stranglehold on information and their ability to be the only way people get information gets diluted.

How can the media possibly push their agenda if people could read about BOTH sides of a particular issue. Therefore they HAVE to show how miserable it is after overhyping it to get people to jump onto the bandwagon and sink it (is that mixing metaphores?)

Now that the market is normalizing, the media is showing the gloom and doom to show how unreliable any other source of information is. If they cannot make a buck on it and it's a direct competitor, it must be governmental controlled and if that doesn't work immediately there is always predict it's demise so people do not start relying on it.

At least Office would have some takers. ASP seems to be almost ignored by the *NIX community for good reason.

Keep PHP and better that, don't waste time on ASP

Yes, I saw that 'oh it could.' The federal gov't has been trying to get a toehold on the 'net since it's start. If you are not ready for every single way it could POSSIBLY be regulated, you've missed the boat.

"For the children" "safer" "loophole" remember those words as they're favorites amongst people who want to regulate things to death. Think firearms and start looking at the parallels. Starts out with 'reasonable 'net control' then moves up to the level that Joe Average cannot do anything without the government's explicit approval.

Remember, when you have to submit your post to a governmental agency for a 5 day background check before you can post to /. that you heard it here first.

Are the scientists going to have to use those blue and red glasses to see the outcome of the pics? and how do you program that? Or is it like the stereovision thing? DanH

Now it's small enough to use as text wallpaper on your site the same colour as the background. HEY, every person who comes to your site will have DeCSS in their cache.

Now THAT'S distribution. But, would it be the person who went to your site problem? or only yours? I'd like to see MPAA sue everyone who visits -oh say- /. and watch them try to find out the visitor's list.

We also call the language we speak over here in 'The Colonies' English. I guess we're not too precise in our language :)

I'm curious if it had been opensourced, would 'someone' have picked up on the conversion fault with the Mars lander?

Guess we will find out.

Won't this add to global warming? At least as much as cow farts and sulphur dioxide?

How people can determine that it's people causing this? Were people around during the Ice Ages? Did pollution cause the ice to melt? I'd bet that was considered 'global warming' when the ice became water.

Yet, now that people have a political axe to grind, they start hollering that the only reason it could POSSIBLY be is pollution etc.

Cows put off more methane than the entirety of the human race. This is one of the primary ingredients of 'greenhouse gases' yet no one wants to admit that at least part of this is perfectly natural.

Oh, that's right, they cannot use the warming to their political gain if it's been around for millions of years. I forgot. Got to have something to hold against those who think differently than they. After all, it's inclusion, but only for those who conform to the left wing beliefs.

Give me a break, yes people and pollution may very well assist in the warming, but I'm tired of hearing that it's The President's duty to singlehandedly reverse a process that has been going on for millions of years.
