That would also be my guess but it what I don't get is why he wasn't in a climb a the time. He was lightly loaded and that plane has a service ceiling of 15k. The impact was at 10k. I would think that if your in mountains and hit a cloud like that the first thing I would do is climb and try and go IFR. But then I have only flown VFR and that was in a sailplane. Nice thing about a sailplane is that you never worry about losing an engine or fire:)
Okay losing an engine on the tow plane is scary but you train for that. It is worst for the tow plane than for the sailplane.
"A decision in favor for those that work for the common good against a single person's greed!" Dude it is software for controlling toy trains. Yes I am glad that this guy got busted but lets put this into perspective. This was a little guy fighting a little guy. Good that he won but not some epic battle of good verses evil.
How do you tax the internet??? Please there isn't really a good way to fix this. If you make the rules looser then you will keep getting Enron. If you tighten them up you get companies moving. The same thing happened to manufacturing. Do you know how hard it is to get a new plating plant built in the US? Yes plating is a nasty dirty process and it is good to have rules to keep them clean but... Or a Steel Mill? Most cities tried very hard to get heavy industry out. They all want light clean industry. Same thing is going to happen with corporations now. It will be hard to find the right mix of regulations and freedoms.
So you ride a motorcycle, so do I. Do you wear an abrasion resistant jacket with armor? abrasion resistant pants with armor? Boots? Gloves? I will make an assumption that you always wear a helmet. So have you ever decided to throw on your helmet and take it for a quick ride to the store? That is the same kind of mistake that Fossit did. The difference is that airplanes are even more unforgiving than motorcycles. I didn't say he was a great pilot just that he was a very good pilot. And I have no idea what happened for sure. It might have been an unpredictable wind shear. In the mountains you can hit ridge life that can come very close to ripping the wings off a plane. Great fun for sailplanes by the way. There are also down drafts that can drop you like a rock. If your flying low and slow over a mountain range and run into one then yes you can be dead before you know it. If he did make the classic pilot mistake of "I can make it" then instead of dismissing him as not a very good pilot everybody should think, "If it could happen to him it could happen to me." Your right it is a typical noob move to be overconfident but what is really scary is that it is also a very common mistake for experts.
You have never flown have you? Actually this kind of accident is very common with a good pilot. This wasn't a tricky flight. He planned VFR and probably did minimal planning. Why? Because this was a milk run flight. A drive around the block. If you make the mistake of flying VFR into IFR condition in an aircraft that can not support IFR then you are in a world of hurt. The wost thing any pilot can say is, "I can make it". When I was younger I flew sailplanes. I was never even what I would consider to be a good pilot. I was at best working on becoming a good pilot. Yea the was a very good pilot and he made one mistake.
Well since that aircraft was a rag and tube plane and not a great interment platform I would guess he had very little in the way of nav aids. Actually fuel issues are pretty common in small planes they just tend not to be fatal. Now an engine out over mountains like that is very likely to be fatal but the fact that the engine was over a hundred feat from the airframe leads me to think that the plane was going really fast at impact. If it was me I would have done my best to hit the ground at about four knots above stall so that I would have the best chance of survival.
I don't know what it is but the end result looks like controlled flight into the ground. Fossett was a very good pilot. An engine failure at altitude would have given him enough time to send out a distress call unless he was very close the ground when it happened. So maybe but it could have been any number of things. From the report of the crash it sounds like it hit hard and fast. For the family this is probably a relief since now they can have some closure hopefully.
Well I am not going to rush out for one of these. I like some GBA games I own and I have Opera for it. A.3 megapixel camera? Big deal. Now If Nintendo included a VIOP and maybe a Video over IP that could be cool. Sort of an Nintendo Phone:)
Well lets add in. Travel. Just how many people from Africa went to the US or Europe before around 1965. How remote of a region was it. And just how many people in that region where dieing of other things all the time. And yes frankly oral sex was considered pretty kinky back in the 60s and 70s. Yes sex with multiable partners and alternative forms of sex have gotten a lot more prolific over the years. Well outside of the military based in far east.
To learn Mono for one thing. I could develop it in Java and still only target this one PC running Linux. Or I could use QT and C++ The choice of language is for learning how to write cross platform c#.
My guess based on the article is this is some mutant client server thingy. Hate to be so technical but this was in the article. "Ballmer was dismissive of Google, saying Docs and Spreadsheets has "relatively low usage" and that users want richer features in an office software package. "We want software more powerful than software that runs in a browser," Ballmer said." Well if you are not going to run in a browser then you must have some other type of client.
My best guess is it will use SilverLight instead of AJAX. So you may see something like Office and Money written in SilverLight that you can run in your Browser as long as you are running on Windows. I will guess that this will be a tool that will allow companies to develop their own "Cloud" programs as well as host Cloud Office themselves on Windows servers. Sort of Cloud Visual Basic.
This is all just a guess but with the data I have that best I can do.
Well Mono is supposed to be a good development environment under Linux. If you are not going to use it under Linux then why not just use.net? This one app is going to run on a Linux box. This is a donated box and I don't have a spare Windows license and I am not buying one. So I figure that it would be a good time to learn C# and Mono and help somebody out all at once.
And I have no desire to use Visual Studio. I like developing mainly under and for Linux for my own projects. The program I am planning on doing in Mono is going to run only under Linux anyway.
So call it by it's full name. Gnu Image Manipulation Program. If you must rename the icon. I am pretty sure that Photoshop Elements is actually called PSE or some such thing.
Well Java was also multi platform as well. Mono makes C# closer to muli-platform than it was. Java has much better resources on line than C# under mono as well. Java has two really good IDEs available NetBeans and Eclipse.org.
I have yet to get into Mono all that much. I have tried and I have found the online documentation really lacking compared to what I can get for Java. I am going to write an app under Mono just so I can learn it and so I can give it a fair shake.
Well if you are running a bunch of maintenance scripts and backup scripts it shouldn't be too hard to be sure that they have all completed before you run the shutdown. The simplest way would be to make them all one big script.
Yes I am. And I also shut down my PC. You might be surprised but I will bet that there are people from where ever you are from that keep theirs running 24/7 as well.

Simple you add some functionality that is covered by patents.
Just don't have any trust in Microsoft of politicians.
Well there where articles about the lowering of the credit requirements causing problems going back to 1999.
Only a fool take offense when none is intended.
It is an acronym get over it people.
Well lets add in.

Actually my wife uses Linux. So yes a Slashdot user that is married to a woman that uses Linux.
Yea that is sick. Why would you want nuclear bomb activation codes?
Sorry I just couldn't resist.
probably habit more than anything. Plus it is a duel boot so sometimes I jump over to Windows to play FS9
