It's not that hard to offload cargo from on ship to another at sea, it's been done for hundreds of years.
uh, yeah, actually, it is.
if you're talking about pitching a sack of potatoes from deck to deck, sure, go ahead, they've been doing that for hundreds of years.
if you're talking about using a crane to swing a TEU full of product in a 6 foot swell from a 170,000 ton freighter (emma maersk) to some vessel alongside, you're in for a pretty serious operation.
there's about a thousand different ways to kill yourself in the open ocean. if the containers were stuffed full of cash/gold bars/diamonds/etc, this might be worth considering. but it's probably rubber dog shit from china, and not really worth dying for.
i wasn't aware that aircraft were required to have EPIRB's.
boats, yes.. but aircraft? plausible, i guess, but i'd rather they stay in the air where they belong.
i was in a similar situation. ~50 users, gfi mailessentials. the software is bad -- you have to get away from it. there are too many bad things to list. try following the support forum for a month or so, and see how much progress gets made..
i moved to vamsoft's "orf filter". this cuts out about 98% of the spam at the MTA level, as god intended. (gfi accepts all mail, period, and then backscatters NDRs out into the world.)
i left gfi in place for awhile after installing orf and used it strictly as a categorizing filter, moving everything to the users "junk e-mail" folder.
aside from vamsoft, which is extremely reasonable in price, these are all $free solutions which work incredibly well. orf blocks most spam at the MTA. anything that makes it past is categorized by spamassassin, put in the user's folder, and it becomes the user's problem. the users manage their own email, without anyone else looking at it. better for them (privacy), better for me (don't have to deal with it). the change was essentially transparent for the users; they only noticed that they were getting less junk.
i still follow the gfi support forum, but it's mostly just to chuckle. i'd love to share some of this with the folks who are struggling with the software, but any post that suggests a different, non-gfi solution is quickly deleted -- i understand they need to try to keep the rats on the sinking ship, but the censorship it pretty hard to stomach.
i can't speak for anyone but myself (obviously), but i'd like to think other moderately intelligent people go about body art in the same way i do.
when i got my tattoos, it was for me, not "them". the people i know with tattoos & piercings have much the same opinion.
if someone wanted to look down on me/refuse me a job because i have 'honesty' tattooed on my left arm -- well, i don't think i need to be working for them in the first place.
anyone remember 'the good old days' when people with body art applying for tech jobs were eagerly accepted, since it denoted a kind of 'freak, outcast' personality?
"hey, that guy's got blue hair and a nose ring, he must spend a TON of time in his mother's basement. let's hire him!"
this makes me wonder: when enough people do something illegal, does it cease to be illegal? when does something that's "wrong" become acceptable? when it's 5 out of 6 americans?
i remember this line about being judged by a "jury of your peers", which seems to mean: if they all think what you're doing is fine, whether it's illegal or not, it's fine.

I don't know how any of you people are hoping to receive phone calls when you're not posting your number.
Sorry about that. My name's Jenny. You can reach me at 867-5309.
All hail the Keebler elfnet.
these are TSA agents. they're not molesting people for pleasure; they're doing it for monetary gain. sounds like prostitution to me.

can we please stop using the phrase 'push out'? it conjures up an image of a turd every single time. of course, maybe that's the idea?

ok.. so, there's my confusion. article linked to a coast guard site on EPIRBs, but we're really talking about ELTs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPIRB

eventually i replaced gfi with spamassassin for windows (http://sawin32.sourceforge.net/), an exchange event sink to score the messages before they were accepted (http://www.christopherlewis.com/ESA/ExchangeSpamAssassin.htm), and the mailshell event sink to move tagged messages to the users junk folder (http://www.mailshell.com/mail/client/oem2.html/step/exchangeplugin).

anyway. hope this helps.
For a minute I thought this was about "Pirates of the Great Salt Lake".

in new york (or brooklyn in particular) we have "manhattan special"; the label calls it "espresso coffee soda". it's actually pretty good.
