I run it, so this could be spam, but http://www.rsvpair.com/ is exactly what you requested - a free directory that lets people who want to fly charter find operators, give feedback and see prices, both for large executive jets, turboprops, and smaller props like you were requesting here.
Actually, the bubble created those jobs. It's collapse took them with it, and those of us (me included) who did not save while the bounty was present have ourselves to blame.
I'm not sure there is a more useless feature in all of OSX. Some widget thingy that does not fit in with the UI and I have to actually leave my working desktop in able to use? Why don't dashboard widgets a) get bounded by a normal window and b) follow the same window stacking rules as every other application?
Turning the dashboard off lest I accidentally trigger it is my first priority on OSX - even before installing quicksilver.
Thanks for this - you helped me take the plunge and updating my remote backup scripts... They now take about 1/10th the time to transfer and space to store, all by changing gzip to 7z in 4 or 5 places!
Now that's cool. I hope it's a success - imagine a future where all terraforming will be done by Abu Dhabi/Arabian descendants. This would be a very cool modern "killer app" for thier culture, and a way to finally earn some (overdue) respect from the west - without resorting to... unsavory and extreme methods.
In Ten years, this will be carved in innumerable brass plaques and other permanent medium, and the word "Cyberspace" will look as dated as the "Keep on Truckin'" guy...
Evolution has recently gone from being my favorite mail app to some bloaty monstrosity that spawns servers in the background, ties up over a gig of ram all of the time, and goes for long naps on me... I figure either it's Novell adding "enterprise features" or they've finally starting cramming that mono junk into it. Either way, thunderbird - and more and more lately, mail.app - have replaced it on my desktops.
You're aware they beleive they can use the power of thier mind to throw large objects, channel their being through a tuned plasma sword during battle, and are imbued by invisible creatures named mitichlorians, right?
If this is a joke, it's a funny one. If you're serious... then it's even funnier, in a dark way.
It must be tough to depend on an obsolete system for your income. I'd suggest you find a new line of work - threatening kids isn't really scalable, and won't ever be effective, except to make you feel more justified to keep pumping effort and faith into a failing business.
Do your kids a favor and find a job that works in the coming world - don't try to fight a tide that's too large for you, when you could be harnessing it to make money.
Also... How does extending copyright effect this story at all?
I'm sorry for all the pain this is likely to cause the Kernel developers that were relying on it, but I can't say I'm sad to see McVoy and his noise go away.
Someone modded you funny, but I think you're right - if someone developed a mysql "interface layer" to postgres - simplifying the management and allowing the mysql libraries to connect natively, I believe it would trigger a tremendous amount of adoption.
Call it postgres lite - whatever features and speed you lose due to the interface, you can make up for down the road by a "proper" port of the app to postgres - but you won't have to worry about migrating the data, users, procedures, etc.
This is probably a lot of work, but it's possible MySQL, PostGres and the users will all benefit from the process.
For instance, when starting a business project, where is the OSS feature for a complete novice to create a Sharepoint portal with Outlook integration, RSS feeds and an Infopath form that connects to a SQL database?
You may consider this strange, but I can't think of any reason why anyone would actually want to do all this gobblygook, except maybe because MS marketing told them they should. This sounds like a complete waste of time and effort, for the assets involved in constructing it, those required to maintain it, and the poor people forced to use it afterwards.
Like the 200-or-so access and excel-based application nightmares that I've been asked to remove and build replacements for, strapping wizards, buzzwords and day-glo colors onto a hunk of technology doesn't magically give application development to the masses.
Why does an email proxy need to take over GDM/KDM? I think I'd *much* prefer to set up the proxy seperately and simply aim my mail client at it explicitly. I'd prefer to be able to easily aim it elsewhere when I feel like it without having to log out and modify system administration.
Allowing some closed-source commercial app (sorry, promises mean nothing: show me the source) to take over the login process and injecting an invisible proxy seems a par-tic-u-larly stupid way to solve the problem they are trying to deal with here.
Was Timothy duped into posting an ad accidentally, or was this intentional front page spam on slashdot's part?
The core issue is that the RIAA/MPAA having a bad business plan shouldn't be reason for the government to reduce my rights or control my behavior.
If they are silly enough to offer me something, and I pay for it, it should be mine - no matter what dumb provisions they try to attach to it, and no matter how much they want to sell it to me and to everyone else, too. A dysfunctional business should not be propped up by my taxes and elected officials.
If people can't make money that way, then go find another job. I, like slashdot, give away information for a living, and it's hard work. You need to find ways to have your customers prefer to get their data from you, when they could get it anywhere.
If you mean "If someone buys hardware not supported by Linspire, there will be a problem with it working under Linspire," then this is the same case as with Windows - if you buy hardware not supported by windows, it will not work with Windows.
And if you call tech support, they'll tell you that. Same as with Linux, whether they are new or not.
Yes, Linux vendors expect an end user to activate thier brain and make decisions for themselves. This used to be standard operating procedure until MS dumbed everything down and made users afraid of thier computers. Hopefully, this gets turned around and people can start getting smarter instead of dumber for a change.
If not, please let the dumb ones keep using Windows.

Sorry that this is so offtopic. I was simply curious and thought I might ask here:
.* /your_isp_stinks.html [R,L]
Is this how I would block all of the customers from a specific ISP, if I ever wanted to? I'm not sure why I would, but you never do know...
RewriteEngine on
Rewritemap bssubnet txt:/stuff/bssubnets.txt
RewriteCond ${bssubnet:%{REMOTE_ADDR}} ^b$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{request_uri} !^/your_isp_stinks.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule
Also, does anyone know where I can find the list of all subnets that an ISP might have? Especially the business customers.

Ah! Thanks for explaining that.

If you order a computer with MS Windows, then they charge you for it.
You're aware they beleive they can use the power of thier mind to throw large objects, channel their being through a tuned plasma sword during battle, and are imbued by invisible creatures named mitichlorians, right?
In just about every way you could possibly imagine.

I agree. Movie theaters should be required to allow people to bring thier own food. This will drive them to charge fair prices + "convenience" cost.
The abuse of the concession monopoly is one of many reasons I no longer go to the movies.

Why exactly do experts need to see it first? Some of us (Certainly not me!) are pretty expert-y ourselves when it comes to encryption.
If you're going to open the source, then open it. If you're not, then drop the act.

Why wouldn't Joe User be able to get a wireless network working with one of these?
How could it take 5 hours to clean an infestation? Just umount /home and reinstall - it'll only take 20 minutes or so.
Did I miss something?
Yes, when you are convicted of maintaining a predatory monopoly, the rules are different.
