I had to knock off "Accused" or the subject line was too large.
Makes sense they would be raising their membership charges; they are going to have to start eating the shipping cost. Below is a copy and paste of selected sections of an article on a potential class action lawsuit over it's annual membership for Amazon Prime.
"Amazon claims that a $79 annual membership for Amazon Prime provides free two-day shipping on "millions" of items, but for some products, the company is accused of encouraging sellers to inflate shipping prices, according to two recent lawsuits."
"For example, if the price of an item is advertised for $10 with $3.99 shipping and the [vendor] wishes to match or top their price, the [vendor] would charge $13.99 or higher," Burke alleges in the suit.
These sellers raise their prices to match or top their competitor’s total price, as items are sorted by price on Amazon's site, Burke alleges in the lawsuit.
"“The bottom line is the free shipping that Amazon offered to its Prime members wasn’t free,”"
Apparently quite a few birds can also see UV. Knowing that, would it be possible to use a UV light system to steer birds away from windmills? It appears that bird deaths is a major problem point for the renewable energy source, so any passive way of warding birds away from them would be a good thing.
Where I live is fairly windy all the freaking time, the South horizon is just an endless line of wind turbines. UV at the end of each blade might not be a bad idea.
Sometimes the animal adaptation proves to be a problem for us (and the animals). For example, not everyone is terribly happy that coyotes have adapted to suburban living. A lot of people aren't that happy that bears have adapted to food locked in small cars.
While building the Alyeska Pipeline workers were taken out to the job site in buses; where they would leave their lunches. I've heard a few stories where a bear(s) had taken over the bus for the food.
Each story had the workers waiting until the bear was through until they could get back in.
Most of the time things like that don't work out well for the Bears. If the sites weren't so remote a group might of shown up, knocked the Bear out and flown it 200 miles away "so they couldn't find their way back".
The thing is a worker might of fed a bear at one time, or left their garbage in the open; after that the bear expects food, or knows where to find it.
Seeing it is different that what I thought, I figured it would be at the insulators but the discharges are everywhere; mentioned in the video a cause was bird droppings.
I met my wife online (in a Yahoo chat room), work online as a web developer, socialize online with people around the world on a daily basis, use it for reference (ala Wikipedia) and entertainment (e.g. Netflix). Without the web, my life would be much, much smaller and poorer.
Alas I'm the single type -not gay, just enjoy the single life; or I could of said the same thing, but in a pre-Internet/IRC way.
$250 for a Supra2400 baud modem really changed my life, but didn't know what to do with it when I got it. This was pre-Gore so had to hit the local computer store for BBS numbers, BBS's ya like I had a clue.
Hit the Bulletin Board System (BBS) and I met a few long term girlfriends online (BBS's were/are mostly local affairs), even have a son; a direct result of my modem purchase.
I enjoyed it so much I started my own BBS using Cnet for the Amiga software. An Amiga in a IBM world was unique (after we beat Atari out of the game). I ran a 6 line chat board, I had a 6 port serial card (for printers) that I used to plug modems in, one system and I could have 8 lines, and still play my games (25Mhz and 10 Megs static ram).
I pulled in FidoNet and a few UseNet feeds as it cost 10 a minute for the long distance fee to my source. With Cnet if I had an open line (nobody using it) I could connect to another Cnet BBS anywhere in the world, that was kool - taking everybody someplace different to meet total strangers.
My/. handle is due to the BBS's, my handle is a shout out to anybody who knew me then, they will know who I am instantly:}
I remember when I first came across the newly released WWW software, I read the description and figured it was some new fancy terminal program and passed on it, I already had a decent one. Even talked about it to a friend who said it was to show jpg's when you went to the site, ya like we were that lazy:} neither of us even attempted it to check it out.
Being on-line be it BBS, or the Internet I find very rewarding as well.

Well, the current incarnation of Opera is based on Chrome, but they've made a lot of positive changes to the code base. I don't really use Chrome much though, so I'm not sure exactly how Deep the differences go.
Just today I updated my Motorola Xoom (google) Tablet to Android version 4.4.2 thanks to hax, and installed Opera on it. It's the first full version of mobile Opera I've seen since 12 (not a mini), it uses pieces of everything, lots of Chrome, lots of Google stuff (analytics), a bit of Netscape, Mozilla, MSDN, Apple (sample code), Apache, Linux and even GIMP. Those are just a very few, just pages and pages of redistribution license.
As if they grabbed the best of all that's available, one could hope. But they still don't get it, there's still no bookmarks; but a bookmark import utility to turn your bookmarks into Speed Dial icons, that would give me 3337 icons, and a lot of time searching through them.
If you've used Opera you know it exports bookmarks as formatted text (ADR file) and as a HTML page. I can use the HTML page to get around to places I've thought special enough to bookmark, even have it as my start up page.
The FCC governs radio rules, we're talking about the FAA, which governs airspace.
The subject title "I was once a drone pilot" was me being facetious of such an absurd charge for flying an RC plane. I was wrong in I thought the FCC was involved; one of those click submit at the same time noticing an error, but too late.
If you break any of those you MUST have a waiver or a Certificate of Airworthiness for the aircraft (just like all commercial aircraft, including that Cessna some guy you know has) or you are breaking the law.
You were never allowed to fly your glider within 10 miles of controlled airport, and 2 or 5 miles of an uncontrolled airport. Ever.
Your ignorance of these rules does not mean they didn't exist.
And ignorance is what I'd of pleaded. I thought I was fairly close to an air port but didn't realize just how close http://i60.tinypic.com/x1ka52.... From the air port to the High School was less than a mile, sure along mile.
The only rule I was aware of was checking transmitter flags to make sure I was on a different frequency. There was one other that flew at that school, using the 100 feet of surgical tubing method. I built a pod for a.079(?) engine to take me up - just sweet.
I wasn't in a club or with others who flew, so knew zero on the legalities of gliding, or flying.
I built 3 Gentle Ladies, the third - the wing and it's angles are perfect, not having others to talk to about how to do "stuff" I stretched my mylar with a cloths iron:}. A heat gun I found out later was the preferred method and sure would of been heck of a lot easier.
At the time Helicopters were the big thing and where I'd of gone if not for a life changing event, I bought an Amiga.
This was set in motion 2011. Searching for H2-11 (to see what it was) I came across how the jets were in the position to get the fuel, that "Google has no official relation with H211", and heck of a lot of information on this -in one link (dated Dec 11, 2011).
"The Google leaders and their friends are not the only ones using the jets. NASA conducts flights on the planes with its own researchers and equipment to gain scientific data. That deal was part of the unusual agreement with NASA allowing the Google team the use of Moffett Field, an airport closed to private aircraft."
Below is from the same link and explains NASA and Google's ties at least at Moffit field, I added the links for hanger one.
"The Mercury News reported the three top executives at Google, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt, are offering to pay $33 million to finish the restoration of the historic airship hangar at Moffett Field. The giant structure, built in the 1930s and called Hangar One, "
"The jets are not owned or operated by Google. Instead, the 3 Google leaders operate the fleet through an LLC called H211. Google has no official relation with H211. Ken Ambrose, the Director of Operations for H211, announced the funding offer at a public meeting this week. He also complained that NASA, which owns Hangar One, has taken too long to respond to the offer.
On first glance, it sounds like a purely noble gesture by the Google trio. The building is in the middle of a project to strip toxic materials in its siding. Lack of taxpayer funding to complete the project has raised fears that could lead to the demolition of one of the world’s largest freestanding structures.
But, as the Mercury News reported, “There’s a catch: They want to use up to two-thirds of the floor space of the hangar to house their fleet of eight private jets.” Most of the members on the Hangar One committee, along with the local congresswoman, support the idea, although there is some concern about the public-private partnership."
Most of the big-name AV companies have a free(ish) client for Android, but it just runs hashes against lists of known-bad executables. Nothing I've seen does actual content scans against a signature DB, presumably due to the resource demands.
I used to build and fly 2 meter gliders anywhere I could launch them, only FCC concerns I ever had was the frequency I was controlling them with. Getting damn risky now.

FTA "a total lack of actual upgrade options. What Microsoft calls an upgrade involves completely wiping the PC and reinstalling a fresh OS copy on it -- or ideally, buying a new device."
Oh mercy that's just incompetent.
Much the same with EA's Dice; they just came out with a new series of Battle Field 4 maps and updates, trying to look good after a unplayable release of BF4. Updated the jets wouldn't take off (no afterburners), incompetence taken to a new level.
My grandmother refuses to upgrade because she's so in love with the greetings card workshop software that came with her first computer in the mid-90's. It's run fine on each computer since,
My Mom has the Greeting card workshop she's toted along the way, the CD is always installed:}, of course she's running XP.she's at an age a new OS is just going to confuse her (very much). No matter the cost she would not get her monies worth out of it.
It's possible to download Android apk's at developers sites as well as other places, be nice to scan them for malware before transferring/installing them to the Android.
An example is AdAway which I assume is safe from malware, you can't download this from play.google.com https://f-droid.org/repository...
I've Googled this query and have gotten no results, figure I'd hit on a geek:}
I'm glad you're blocking Samsung's corporate website at your router. There's no possible way that they could ever have servers under unrelated IP addresses or hostnames -- we all know that would be breaking Internet Laws.
I'd used to be able to say not a problem, but https://www.robtex.com/ isn't showing what it used to, if fact nothing more than if a site is safe or not.
Not saying Samsung is blocked as one can't, but I do what I can, and https://www.robtex.com/ used to tell me all of the ip addresses of a company. and that all paths lead to Google:}
It's more than blocking them at the router level, I don't use the WiFI and haven't or plan on getting a Sumsung account so no place to pigion hole any thing they may get.
Bottom line is it's very intrusive, required to providing you with a fairly decent service. And a question I've been asked on/. a few times, am I willing to give up my freedoms just to watch TV. - Which I don't use the Samsung for it's, my PC monitor
Take a look at ZTree. Like TC but totally keyboard driven. I can't live without it.
I checked ZTree out and was thinking of some DOS comments, this being the GUI age and all.
Working with Total Commander your told up front that the program FAR is much better, has more support (plugins), and free http://www.softpanorama.org/OF...
So I checked out FAR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... and there it was; Norton Commander, yet FAR impressed me on it's first outing.
A, 7z x far.7z, then moved the output to a D:\MISGPRGS\FAR directory, ran FAR, right clicked on the display and it asked if there was something I wished to run in my Comodo firewall's sandbox, there was no delay the sandbox options was one of many options available.
- It knew of Comodos sandbox, meaning it hit the registry reading what it needed very quickly. Total Commander is actually pretty sluggish, to copy a large directory with TC is to find something else to do in the mean time, it's slower than windows copy. You can increase the buffers but it's not just it's copying that's slow; for it to hit the registry the way FAR did would I feel would take TC too long or even hang it for a bit.
I'm at a loss at the moment, I'd like a dual pane explore but right now just not sure which one.
I prefer Directory Opus. Unlimited file list panes, massive amounts of power. I have the lister windows cut down fairly cleanly, not like most of the demo screenshots that are "kitchen-sink" affairs.
It started out on the Amiga which is where I used to use it, and then migrated to Windows.
Then your aware Dopus was a direct rip off of his friends (buddies for years) DiskMaster. DiskMaster was free, Dopus want(s)ed big bucks; for Windows that comes to $90 for something you can get for free. Dude rips off his friend for a fast buck - I wouldn't touch Dopus with the Amiga, damn sure ain't gonna get near it with the PC.
Unable to use an computer without it, runs fine under wine..
You mention of Total Commander got my interest going again. So many times I've started to use Total Commander only to forget about it the next day using Windows Explorer again. Figure I'll give it another attempt. Much more serious about it now that I've downloaded all of it's plug-ins - T C offers quite a bit more than I thought it was capable of (with the plugins).
"Power Pro - tell me you know what that is and you'll be the first, I've used it since Win95" Windows PowerPro gives you the power to control your system and how you access programs because it allows you to choose the combination of how to activate and what to activate.
You'd think it was a fishing line, it's now delegated to the second page of resultshttp://powerpro.cresadu.com/
Thinking of subject after posting to it, I have programs that I use all the time without them being "to die for", just damn handy to have around like.
SndRec32 - open it up and play small sound bytes as fast as you can drop them on top of it, or use VLC (excellent in it's own right) to take it's sweet time to play a 2 second clip. SndRec32 isn't part of Win7, I had to bring it over from XP.
PEEK is the program I couldn't remember that was handy as heck. PEEK Version 1.1 for Windows95 and WindowsNT 4.0 Contextmenu Extension providing simple text extraction for any file. XP broke it; but the read.me just might be enough to walk me through editing it to work with any Win OS (one can hope).
I found a program called "Universal Viewer" that claimed the same ability as PEEK, I tried it out on a batch of jpg's that are corrupt to see what I could find, It printed out: JPEG error #53 - I miss PEEK!:}
The one fortunate thing is they're building back into Chrome what they lost when they stopped developing Presto. It's slow, but it's happening. I still miss things like Ctrl-Z re-opening closed windows, but they've regained a lot of the ground they lost in the changeover.
I still really miss per-site options, which haven't made it back into Chrome-based Opera.
Ctrl-Z does that eh? I've always just used the triangle under the X (close button) and like it better (just tried the keyboard way).
Really going to miss Opera it was a safe browser to use because so few used it, When Opera was first released, I'd install it to a 3.5 floppy and have my browser and bookmarks with me when I visited another geek.
I just don't wish to use Chrome.
I don't trust anything that's being pushed on me as hard as Chrome is. It's past the point of being obnoxious and right up there with mcafee; miss an option separate from the others and find yourself installing it.
I don't like the fact Chrome has (two, at the time I used it) services to install, change or remove anything at anytime, even if it's limited to Chrome's up keep. I not only disabled them but blocked access to the directories they used. I like to at keep a semblance of having control of my own system.
I still use Opera 12 for at the least the bookmarks and shortcuts or nickname ie "Fish" takes me to Google translate./. to guess where (and it's a default).
You just get a copy of Opera12 or not deleted the version you downloaded (damn did I get lucky). Every once in awhile your hit with a requester to download the latest version, (I think it's hard wired into Opera), which you just click on NOPE.
I installed Opera 15 once and noticed it was firefox. Opera.com made mention of closing down April 2014, and to grab anything you had on site - just a really sad demise to an excellent browser.
If you have a (new) feature you really like, there's a very good chance it was on Opera first.

I'm glad you're blocking Samsung's corporate website at your router. There's no possible way that they could ever have servers under unrelated IP addresses or hostnames -- we all know that would be breaking Internet Laws.
I'd used to be able to say not a problem, but https://www.robtex.com/ isn't showing what it used to, if fact nothing more than if a site is safe or not.
Not saying Samsung is blocked as one can't, but I do what I can, and https://www.robtex.com/ used to tell me all of the ip addresses of a company. :}
and that all paths lead to Google
It's more than blocking them at the router level, I don't use the WiFI and haven't or plan on getting a Sumsung account so no place to pigion hole any thing they may get.
Bottom line is it's very intrusive, required to providing you with a fairly decent service. And a question I've been asked on /. a few times, am I willing to give up my freedoms just to watch TV. - Which I don't use the Samsung for it's, my PC monitor
Take a look at ZTree.
Like TC but totally keyboard driven. I can't live without it.
I checked ZTree out and was thinking of some DOS comments, this being the GUI age and all.
Working with Total Commander your told up front that the program FAR is much better, has more support (plugins), and free http://www.softpanorama.org/OF...
So I checked out FAR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... and there it was; Norton Commander, yet FAR impressed me on it's first outing.
A, 7z x far.7z, then moved the output to a D:\MISGPRGS\FAR directory, ran FAR, right clicked on the display and it asked if there was something I wished to run in my Comodo firewall's sandbox, there was no delay the sandbox options was one of many options available.
- It knew of Comodos sandbox, meaning it hit the registry reading what it needed very quickly. Total Commander is actually pretty sluggish, to copy a large directory with TC is to find something else to do in the mean time, it's slower than windows copy. You can increase the buffers but it's not just it's copying that's slow; for it to hit the registry the way FAR did would I feel would take TC too long or even hang it for a bit.
I'm at a loss at the moment, I'd like a dual pane explore but right now just not sure which one.
Just saying if you like Ztree check out FAR http://www.farmanager.com/plug...
I prefer Directory Opus. Unlimited file list panes, massive amounts of power. I have the lister windows cut down fairly cleanly, not like most of the demo screenshots that are "kitchen-sink" affairs.
It started out on the Amiga which is where I used to use it, and then migrated to Windows.
Then your aware Dopus was a direct rip off of his friends (buddies for years) DiskMaster. DiskMaster was free, Dopus want(s)ed big bucks; for Windows that comes to $90 for something you can get for free. Dude rips off his friend for a fast buck - I wouldn't touch Dopus with the Amiga, damn sure ain't gonna get near it with the PC.
Unable to use an computer without it, runs fine under wine ..
You mention of Total Commander got my interest going again. So many times I've started to use Total Commander only to forget about it the next day using Windows Explorer again. Figure I'll give it another attempt. Much more serious about it now that I've downloaded all of it's plug-ins - T C offers quite a bit more than I thought it was capable of (with the plugins).
"Power Pro - tell me you know what that is and you'll be the first, I've used it since Win95"
Windows PowerPro gives you the power to control your system and how you access programs because it allows you to choose the combination of how to activate and what to activate.
You'd think it was a fishing line, it's now delegated to the second page of resultshttp://powerpro.cresadu.com/
Thinking of subject after posting to it, I have programs that I use all the time without them being "to die for", just damn handy to have around like.
SndRec32 - open it up and play small sound bytes as fast as you can drop them on top of it, or use VLC (excellent in it's own right) to take it's sweet time to play a 2 second clip. SndRec32 isn't part of Win7, I had to bring it over from XP.
Just about anything by sysinternals http://technet.microsoft.com/e... or nirsoft http://www.nirsoft.net/
HTTRACK - website copier
PEEK is the program I couldn't remember that was handy as heck.
PEEK Version 1.1 for Windows95 and WindowsNT 4.0
Contextmenu Extension providing simple text extraction for any file.
XP broke it; but the read.me just might be enough to walk me through editing it to work with any Win OS (one can hope).
I found a program called "Universal Viewer" that claimed the same ability as PEEK, I tried it out on a batch of jpg's that are corrupt to see what I could find, It printed out: JPEG error #53 - I miss PEEK! :}
The one fortunate thing is they're building back into Chrome what they lost when they stopped developing Presto. It's slow, but it's happening. I still miss things like Ctrl-Z re-opening closed windows, but they've regained a lot of the ground they lost in the changeover.
I still really miss per-site options, which haven't made it back into Chrome-based Opera.
Ctrl-Z does that eh? I've always just used the triangle under the X (close button) and like it better (just tried the keyboard way).
Really going to miss Opera it was a safe browser to use because so few used it, When Opera was first released, I'd install it to a 3.5 floppy and have my browser and bookmarks with me when I visited another geek.
I just don't wish to use Chrome.
I don't trust anything that's being pushed on me as hard as Chrome is. It's past the point of being obnoxious and right up there with mcafee; miss an option separate from the others and find yourself installing it.
I don't like the fact Chrome has (two, at the time I used it) services to install, change or remove anything at anytime, even if it's limited to Chrome's up keep. I not only disabled them but blocked access to the directories they used. I like to at keep a semblance of having control of my own system.
Not after they dumped Opera for Opera Next.
I still use Opera 12 for at the least the bookmarks and shortcuts or nickname ie "Fish" takes me to Google translate. /. to guess where (and it's a default).
You just get a copy of Opera12 or not deleted the version you downloaded (damn did I get lucky). Every once in awhile your hit with a requester to download the latest version, (I think it's hard wired into Opera), which you just click on NOPE.
I installed Opera 15 once and noticed it was firefox. Opera.com made mention of closing down April 2014, and to grab anything you had on site - just a really sad demise to an excellent browser.
If you have a (new) feature you really like, there's a very good chance it was on Opera first.
