Actually, unless he has a commercial (not a private) pilot license, that is already illegal.
You cannot make money with a PPL (you can take people up and accept contributions for gas, but that's about it).
A CD is a piece of plastic, covered with silver. A laser is used to focus light of areas of the CD, which will result in different luminosity of reflected light, causing different voltage potentials over a photodiode. This analogue signal will be enhanced, noise removed, before sending though a Analogue to Digital converter.
If a CD was digital, like a USB drive, there wouldn't need to be this process!
A CD is no more digital than a Wifi radio signal, or the printed text in a newspaper. If you claim a CD is digital, then I'll claim an audio tape is also digital, because old computers loaded games from them.
IIRC, CD's used to have a three letter designation on the 'digitalness' of the content.
AAD - Alanog recording, analog mastering, digital media.
You could have AAD, ADD (:)), DDD etc.
But everything was xxD - no xxA - BECAUSE THE END CONTENT IS DIGITAL.
They may still have this designation, I don't know, I haven't bought a CD for 10 years.
In my case, if I lost my internet connection I would be unable to work. I work from home and it is essential. I would sue for loss of employment. Probably for loss of all earnings between now and when I would have retired.
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: -- "We invaded you last night--we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: -- "Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again, That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray; So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!"
Who in your company suddenly decided that ALL 4GB DIMMS needed replacing? Surely not every PC suddenly became so starved of memory. Sounds like a poor decision?
I feel sorry for the Aussies, true, they're isolated so shipping from the US is a cost, but I was there the other week and a $1000(US) Apple cinema display costs $1600 there (the A$ and US$ are about parity right now). That's not shipping. That's ripping off.

And using a car analogy too.
Well done sir!
You could fix that though.

You just don't fly at all, do you?
So, bogging down the legal process is actually grounds for totally ignoring it and shipping someone off to the US for 'justice'?
Wow. I thought NZ was better than that.

That's because of the backhander payments to corrupt officials.

At the quantum level isn't everything?
At the quantum level everything is both analog and digital at the same time.
Until you look at it.
I think they're pretty much guaranteed that their planes WILL make a landing 100% of the time. :)
Well we're making more humans faster than the rate of decline of work, so we should be good.

Actually in cricket, one out and you're out, so you have to go in. 10 outs and the side is out...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in, goes out, and when he's out, he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When both sides have been in and out including the not-outs, that's the end of the game.
Actually, it's the same word, repeated once.
Do not confuse working with attendance...
There's always the risk for a company giving training to employees, and then they leave.
There's always a risk of not giving training, and they stay.

The photo is used so you can take a picture of the parking lot where you left your vehicle, or of your luggage tag barcode.
The license is not to watch TV, it is to own equipment capable of receiving TV. Whether you use it for TV or not, you need to pay.

Why anyone feels the need to abbreviate "2012" is beyond me. Just makes the headline even less intelligible.
I would have claimed the mileage allowance.
Just like religion? Oh, wait.
There is no dark side of the sun.
As a matter of fact, it's all dark.
