If you know enough to nullify it, odds are extremely good that you'll be dismissed during the selection process. As much as we here on slashdot love to poke fun at lawyers, they're usually pretty smart, and will pick a jury they feel will get them the verdict they desire.
"I've never heard of even a small airport that will let someone take off without having first filed a flight plan. Even if you're just going up VFR for afternoon sightseeing."
That's because you're not a pilot and don't know the rules. Other than in TFRs, flight plans simply ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR VFR FLIGHT. While it's highly recommended for SAR purposes. It's just not required for VFR flight. Sorry, you're wrong. It's done all the time.
Hell, here in the DC area, you need a flight plan to exit the ADIZ, then from there on you go wherever you want. Plan on file or not.
What I've always heard is that the commercials aren't louder, it's that they are at the max level set forth by the show they're in. The show keeps it's volume level logical, quiet during quiet scenes so that when something loud happens, you hear the difference. Commercials just come in at the max to grab your attention.
This might help, but it won't stop the real problem, which is all the flights trying to depart at the same time. Look at the departure board, ever wonder how all those flights can leave simultaneously? Multiple runways help, but they can only use ~2 at a time. A limited number of planes can depart in a finite amount of time. Once they stop that (yeah, right) then the delays will be reduced.
Every little bit helps, but they have a long way to go.
With all these new software patents being handed out, plus the Patent Office both being swamped and not very savvy about these new patents, what if MS actually holds some patents that the Linux kernel infringes on?
I'm surprised how many people here want the ebooks to be in PDF format.
I've been reading ebooks for a while, and PDF is the worst format for a book. It works well for magazines, but that's because PDF is a PRINT format. It's designed to lay things out to be printed. With an ebook, you want flowable text, so that when you increase the font size (you know, for grandma) the text flows to the next page. PDF will zoom in, and now you have to move around on the screen to read your book. Completely unacceptable!! (Look at this from an everyday user, not a techie viewpoint.)
CHM is better, HTML can usually be formatted pretty nicely, but PDF, ugh! When I'm reading ebooks, I always look for HTML or mobipocket, or something that's not PDF. And it's because of the flowable text issue.
I think many people who get this device with the intent of reading PDF's will be sorely disappointed.
"SO what? Only a tiny percentage of customers ever used lifetime anyway. Buying a lifetime today would be silly anyway, as the lifetime fee is the same as about three years paying monthly - that's a long time to recop an investment in a consumer electronics product at this juncture in TV history."
At the current rate of 19.95/Month (which was raised from 12.95/month), you'd only have to keep the device for 15 months to break even. That's not hard for a device that "so completely change how you think about your time, especially in relation to TV". When we got ours, it was 12.95/month, and it took 19 months to hit the lifetime price (250). That was ~3 years ago.
This move also makes it harder to give as a gift. I mean, I'd be more than a little irritated if someone gave me a gift that required me to pay (yet another tv-related!!!) monthly bill.
So, they've removed the lifetime, AND upped the monthly fee.
As a current TiVo owner with a lifetime sub, I don't like this at all. Guess it's time to write (NOT EMAIL) a letter to 'em.
I see alot of posts here talking about how people will just leave Verizon for another provider if they (Verizon) don't manage the bandwidth appropriately. Well, people serviced by FIOS won't have many choices.
I just tried to get DSL installed at my home. However, Verizon is planning to put in FIOS soon. They've already marked my area as being service by Fiber, actually. So when I called SpeakEasy to get DSL, they told me, "Sorry, DSL doesn't work over fiber. We can't sell you DSL." I told them the fiber wasn't actually in place yet, but that didn't matter. Verizon had tagged our area as having fiber, so my choices were cable or whatever Verizon's offering.
I hope that when FIOS is finally in, it's everything it's cracked up to be, because if it isn't, my only other option is Comcast.
But I guess that having 2 options qualifies as "competition", right?:-/
It's an airsoft gun. The bb's are 6mm plastic. Much less inertia and penetration capability. Not that he doesn't still need a mask, but they're not as powerful as your run-of-the-mill 4.5mm steel bb's.
You're assuming that the "home theater" system will only be used to watch movies. I don't know anyone that has a good home theater that doesn't also watch everything else in it as well.
We know he didn't hire someone local (in the US) because if he did, he would have legal recourse. After all, if there's one thing we know is ALWAYS an option in the US, it's to sue.
My physics teacher always said it was because the larger levels of amperage just stop your heart, so CPR (or AED) will re-start it. The lower levels of amperage interfere with your heart's rhythm to the point it doesn't recover and you die.

The article is a bit misleading. You don't use just the cruise control button alone, it's a sequence of presses to activate it.
Student pilot here as well. The reason you're not supposed to use cell phones from the air (and this is from another pilot I met who works for Nextel and gets mighty upset when people say it doesn't matter) is that you hit too many cell towers when at altitude. On the ground, your range is greatly reduced by all the obstructions.

Interesting that the IP lawyer in TFA disagrees with you, then.
As others have said, Consumer Reports is the most famous.
If you fly, there's Aviation Consumer, Aviation Safety, and I think IFR Magazine may not have ads either (I don't get IFR Magazine yet).
There a quite a few magazines that function this way, just because you're not familiar with them doesn't mean they don't exist.

How will it use "much much less" fuel?
First off, it uses rotary engines, which aren't exactly known for their fuel efficiency. Secondly, it has FOUR of them!!
So even if it's a four seater with a full load, you're not doing any better than four people each driving their own car!
