  1. Re:Dumb. Very, very dumb. on United Makes Plans to Drop 'Baggage Neutrality' · · Score: 1

    Actualy, I already had the experience of being asked to weight my carry on, and told to check it.
    It was a regular size for a carry on (never had a problem with it either before or after), but wheighted 13kg (the limit was, I think, 6kg).

    Lucky you, you don't have to wait for long.
    Try to fly to a small and congested airport, like Lisbon...

  3. Re:EasyJet/RyanAir on United Makes Plans to Drop 'Baggage Neutrality' · · Score: 1

    Which company was that?
    Recently I've flown, for (my) the first time with Ryanair, only with my hand baggage, and I only paid the advertised price.
    You should just pay attention to the small letters, because, probably, the cheapest option (when I booked my ticket was to travel without bags, without "express checkin", without travel insurance) is not very visible.

    With easyjet, (my regular low cost, since ryanair doesn't fly to Lisbon), it was easier, I have to admit, they are just more upfront with their prices.

    ... I suspect they do this all over the world though.

    No it isn't. Around here (Portugal) after some time without answering, you will go to the answering machine and they only bill you after the first 5 seconds (so that you have time to hang-up, if you want it). For those without answering machine, after sometime (like 1 minute), the call is automatically terminated.

  7. Re:Slashdotted on Build Your Own Bluetooth Sniper Rifle · · Score: 2, Informative

    Shouldn't that be http://www.tomsnetworking.com.nyud.net:8090/Sectio ns-article106-page2.php instead? And from here, I can't connect..

    There is always Squeak.

    They can start as slow as they want, learn the concepts of programming, and when they want to enter in the "market", can always learn the language de jour, be it C++, Java or C#.

    And squeak seem to run quite fast for what it does, and when they botch the runtime the restore is only an cp /whatever/image ~user/image Regards
