Low fuel light comes on with approx. 20 min. of fuel remaining at standard burn rate. If you are burning at a different rate your time aloft will vary.

From a different tangent: I had a recent incident (noted at the link in my.sig) where a small circulation national magazine posted enough descriptors of me online AND in print, without my name or physical description, for numerous people I have not heard from in ages to contact me and ask if it was me or if I knew 'Shooter'.
Also, it was posted without my knowledge or permission.
A buyback occours only when the company feels that the share prices are too low.
Another sound reason is if the management wishes to exercise more control over voting shares as management controls all of the votes of company owned stock.
Granted, what you mention is close to the only reason ever mentioned in the press or in non-business courses, but it is nowhere near an exhaustive list.
No, this is not a statement on the merits of the decision, it is a statement of basic Finance.
A managing partner of Baystar says the call wasn't from Gates or Ballmer. But it wouldn't have to be, would it?
Nope, it would not have to be a "tip-top" person, just has to be a Principal or someone with delegated authority from a company officer to be valid. This is not anything uncommon at all.
Yahoo Finance is reporting that SCO announced that the company's board of directors has authorized management, in its discretion, to purchase up to 1.5 million shares of SCO's common stock over the next 24 months. SCO has approximately 14.4 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Any repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes.
This is nothing new, odd, illegal, unethical or strange either. It is a common business practice of publicly traded firms.
Now, the underlying story is where the problem sits, not with the scenery.
I may be missing the legal point.

Not that I can see, but the search feature was broken when I looked. I did browse around and find this:
The treaties control space-related activities of States. What about non-governmental entities active in outer space, like companies and even individuals?
The Outer Space Treaty states that States Parties shall bear international responsibility for national activities in outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, whether such activities are carried out by governmental agencies or non-governmental entities, and for assuring that national activities are carried out in conformity with the provisions set forth in the treaty. The Treaty further states that the activities of non-governmental entities in outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies shall require authorization and continuing supervision by the appropriate State Party.
Seems to refute the assertion, until other information can be found.
Even if it were some sort of violation of International Space Law, why would a patent violate that? Describing and protecting a method should not be a violation of a law, actually doing it should be a violation of the law.
Note: the views of some storm-troopers may differ from mine:)
Well, I hope that they get the actual spammers rather than joe-clueless who's machine was hijacked to spread the spam. Hard to show any intent there, but intent seems to be a victim of the spotlight-seekers much too often.
No, I have no sympathy for joe-clueless, but they do not deserve what spammers deserve.
The deal is not It seems in France, all CDs, hard drives, and the like owe musicians money in case any of it is used for piracy. The deal is stated in paragraph two:
The argument centers on a fee levied in France on sales of blank CDs, tapes, hard disks and other hardware that can be used to copy music. The proceeds go to musicians and other rights holders who lose money to piracy.
Even that sounds like a reach. Their system is like that used in other nations where there is a fee on media that goes to artists no matter if their work is illegally copied or not.
The question that the article does not answer is if all/any HDD manufacturers pay the fee already. Guess what? If the fee was already paid by the manufacturer then Appled paid the fee already when they bought the drives. Not saying that is the case, but it is something to think about. Also, if no HDD manufacturer pays this fee then the threat is just as stupid as it sounds on the surface.
The story is a bit misleading. IEEE is running a story about two French professors that have created a new class of encoding is an odd way of stating that it was invented eleven years ago, as the story states:
It happened a decade ago at the 1993 IEEE International Conference on Communications in Geneva, Switzerland. Two French electrical engineers, Claude Berrou and Alain Glavieux, made a flabbergasting claim: they had invented a digital coding scheme that could provide virtually error-free communications at data rates and transmitting-power efficiencies well beyond what most experts thought possible.
It also seems to be making a natural progression into new areas, beginning at satellite transmissions 11 years ago and making it's way into other digital wireless applications along the way.

I can't imagine having to be paranoid about employees. That seems to me to be a bigger problem than hardware.
That is just what he wants you to think.
Many of the women I have dated are invisible in mirrors and on film.
Side effect: loss of blood and money.

Back when I was still flying (Army National National Guard, rotary wing) the landing checklist no longer included a fuel check (made sense to me).
However, the "old guys" were in the habit of a fuel check before landing.
One flight I finally responded to "fuel check" with "enough to land".
The Pilot-in-Command responded: "How much?"
Me: "Enough to land"
He: "If you did not calculate it how do you know?"
Me: "I don't have to calculate it. With or without fuel we are going to land."
As The New Republic has revealed, I use hydrogen in my 1972 Dodge Charger and 1996 Jeep Cherokee. Check the link in my .sig :)

Yes, it is the same New Republic that gave us Stephen Glass.
btw, I am the "2600" alumni on San Andreas, not sure who else is on it.
Actually, George C. Scott demonstrated the concept in the 1967 film, The Flim-Flam Man.
I had no idea that he was such a visionary!
Some of us did go the culture route by supporting women in the arts.
I also did a study on mini-theater technology.
He is pals with Emmanuel and he is a "celebrity", so it seems that is close enough to have a speaking block whenever he wishes.
BTW, he is the only speaker that several folks on the security team refused to guard.
Sounds like the NSA was close by, but just watching :)
I can't help you on the new name, but to get the name you want make sure withhold the epidural until the little lady complies.
Skipping the episiotomy could be the next step, but let's hope your demands are met in good time.
The Washington Post is a newspaper.
NewsMax.com is a screed collection.
So your entire objection is to the source rather than content.
Then you continue to whine that people are leaving corporate overlords and becoming their own bosses.
Are you Stalin or are you Hitler?
Oh no, wrong track eh Eisenstein?

I completly agree with you in the merits of this law, but I was just speaking to application.

Thanks to timothy for almost clearing this up
Cool! I am still fiddling with the I-Opener from several years ago. Now something else to splice into the Jeep :)
Maybe I could use it for the OBD-II display?
The contention that DOJ or the Bush are acting out of altruism is ludicrous.
Who said anything of altruism or any other motovation? Action is what counts no matter what motive you wish to assign, good or bad.
