I can land a real cessna with just using trim and throttle with a bit on the yoke to make the turns in the pattern. I've never seen anyone come close to that with a sim even with all the fancy equipment. For IFR training, I wan the plane to work like a real one. Set the trim and point it in the general direction and make slight left, right adjustments and make sure the power is correct. In the real world, I can run 1/4 hour without adjusting the power or trim once its set right. I want a more realistic simulator
So they keep the old system to sell more radars? I think someone's concept of ATC comes from reading one too many OOD books by Booch.
Current ATC assums that the plane will suffer a radio failure at any time and works with that as a primary assumption. None of these other systems take that into account.
A pirvate pilot is under no oblication at all in most places to talk to anyone. The exception is very high (class A) and major airports (known as class B). There are rules about entering class C without radios and most airports in the US don't have any radio requirement at all. The transponders are only requireed 30 nmi from the center of major airports and a few other places.
The rules change when you carry passengers for hire or if your flying with instrment flight plans.
When you file a flight plan you tell the FAA that your starting from where your are going and how long you expect to take. If its an instrument flight plan and your route doesn't conflict, you will be given approval or a modified version of the route. Once the plane is off the point of stopping on the runway, if a radio failure happens, you fly the proposed route. If your flying Visual rules (like most private pilots), your under no oblication to talk to anyone, anywhere if you avoid some classes of airpspace.
The current ATC system allocates boxes. Each aircraft is allocated two boxes at a time and these tend to be along "airways" which are between VORs which happen to mostly be located at major airports. One is the box your in, the other is the box your going to be in next. If you have a working radio, it allows the ATC to drop your allocation of the box you were in once you cross a reporting station.
Movies seem to give the impression that ATC control where the planes go which isn't quite true. They simply advise the pilots but its still up to the pilot to keep from running into thigns like other airplanes and mountains.
There is no hole at the artic. The sats only go up to about 60 degrees but thats far enough to see at least 7 of them most of the time at the poles. Right now there are at least 12 visable at the north pole, 10 at the south.
So why is it that if you fill the memory with FF, you find more FF's in the TNEF data and when you fill the memory with 00 you find more 00 in the TNEF data? Is this leaking out uninitlized memory?
How about a TNEF virus? It looks like it could be abused that way.
I don't think the current unicode solution is going to work in the long term. It seems to have major failings when your mixing languages. For an example, I wanted to create a simple document. It needed English on the left, French in the middle and Aribic on the right. Simple eh? In the end it was done as two different documents in Aribic M$ Word and made seamless using cut & paste with tape and a copy machine.
You never ever sue when you have a good chance of loosing by suing someone with a better leagal team. How many of the best paid lawyers and judges went to Princeton, UC, Standford etc?
Besides anoying them will cause lots of lost sales when the students start protesting and closing down every record store near the shcools not to mention that many of the "new napsters" have people working on it from thouse schools.
Now going after individual students at those schools will be fair game for them.
>can anbody present an example of legitimate use of two files in the same directory named identically save for case? The Perl makefile?
If that was fixed, I would switch to a case insensitve in a second. I also would like to see space insensitve as well so my mp3 collection is easier to deal with. It seems that even maodern xargs is broken with spaces.
I assume that there are security problems with all programs. A rapid fire kill to postfix shows its got one somewhere but its not worth my time to debug it so it looks like that flaw may not get published. You cant count on the "no publised flaws=no flaws".
I know what happens when a hole gets found in sendmail. I do not know what happens with qmail or postfix since they never had this problem. I also compile from scratch using non-standard librarys which tends to make the system much more immune to buffer overflow cracks.
If you look at the history of sendmail (or wash-u-ftp) cracks you will see that they have been cracked for much, much longer than these other programs have been around. If you look back to some of the common "sendmail" exploits, they where because of stupid stuff like the auto uudecoder that were commonly used more than a decade ago.
Since DISA didn't publish what systems where cracked in which ways, I don't think you have the authroity to make your claim that no system was hacked because of postfix or qmail. All I know is they didn't hack my boxes and they were all running sendmail.
Well, yes I would run sendmail.
I used to run one of the only sites for DISA that never got hacked. Even the tiger teams failed to hack it and it was runing sendmail properly configured. Out of the several thousand sites they hacked in DISA, there were only about 6 that they couldn't crack and all of thouse were running sendmail.
All programs have flaws and some times thouse flaws open it up to abuse. A secure server must keep on top of thouse flaws. At this point I think that sendmail is much more secure than postfix and qumail. I managed to get postfix to dump core a few times on the mandrake 7.1 that I'm runnng at home. Users should not be able to cause programs started as root to core dump.
I've been running three name servers to get around this problem.
All my interal hosts use 192.168.*.* and I use ciscso NAT to get the right exteranal address mapped to the correct internal addresses and cisco nat will automagicly fixup dns packets on the fly but only if they are udp. The result is that I have one exteranl address for exteranl zone transfers, one for external name service and one for internal use.
If your going to devlare value of "0", a quick letter saying "heres the junk you want, I hope you can fix the... and I don't know why you wanted this other junk...we miss you...." works great if you throw in some other lightweight junk (old teddybears work great for padding) but the letter has to be easy for customs to read so its got to be in the local language.
TNT has a 25kg "Student" special but I do not know the details. I'm assuming its on a standby to standby arrangement but they will ship quite a bit of stuff for $150.
I had someone ship to Australia because she was consufused about where it was and thought it was just a far away state.
Just to make life even more fun, it would appear that USPS has its own 9 digit zip code for here which appears to be 00194-0000. Has anyone else noticed this?
My great grandfather was selling Olympic stuff at the 1904 St Louis Games. He didn't have the IOC permission beforehand and didn't get sued even though they knew he was doing it. They didn't even ask him to stop. So was he a counterfeiter or not?
I'm wondering if the courts would consider 96 years of not protecting your "trademark" enough to allow me to sell stuff down near the stadium.
Drop by where I live and take a look around. Heroin is basicly legal in small quantities. Needles are free for the asking. So far this year there have been over 180 fatal OD from heroin alone. There are yong kids hooking for drug money.
I've got ex friends that are going to be depressed for the rest of their lives becaase they had just one too many many hits of esscascy.
Making drugs legal won't fix the problem and killing the dealers seems to be the only solution that has any hope of working.
I read in a real newspaper that there seems to be strong evidence of a large hit in the 600ad timeframe that has been verified by tree rings world wide.
I wish I could find some details but I heard that someone in Germany is trying to get its censorship people to slap an "adult only" rating on the bible. I'm not sure how thats going. The same thing could happen in Oz but its going to take someone with about AU$4000 (= ~US$.02) to get it done.
I did find something else. According to one report, Mein Kampf is very hard to get in Germany.
A reference is here: search for 95-221. While I don't agree with the contents (I've only read a small bit), its one of thouse books that parts should be required reading. It shows that if your a good speaker/writer and can talk about your country with pride and blame others for the problems, you can go far in politics.
Even based on the absurb notation that international web sites involve international phone rates, he should look at my phone bill. I've got several calls to the US that are cheaper than calling the other side of the city.
I'm not sure what I take on Alston is. He seems to almost seem to have a clue about some things and then completely miss the boat. Maybe he's got a few clued in advisors. Maybe he should get some more.
The real trick is not to use RGB but to use HSV and do the HSV -> RGB conversion in analong section on the back end of the A/D conversion.
When we first got a 24 bit display at school, I wrote a program that would draw a rainbow which had wonderful changes between the colors except the orange bits. The thing just could not display enough shades of orange. I then wrote a color picker program that would display all 16 million colors over 16 pages of display. It turns out that about 8 million of thouse colors are brown when shown with other colors and even more look like ugly brown when shown by themselves. Extending the RGB model further just wastes more backing store memory for more shades of brown. From what I have seen, HSV would even work very well with 16 bit modes.

Right. Most military grade sutff is much worse than the cheap stuff you can get at the hunting supply shop.
Not anymore. Celestial naviagion is not longer a required course at the Navy academy even for navigators.

Mark Twain killed the C and left the K when he propsed fixing up Englsih spelling.
He also propsed that you replace "damn" with "very" so your editor will delete it and the wording will be as it should have been.

Hopefully corp America will see the light and the demand will force the price of thouse 21" LCDs down to $300 like they should be.
The lead is for x-ray shielding so you don't get over exposed if the voltage gets a bit too high.

Considering that Vixie is running the most heavly loaded root name server with it, I would guess he does trust it.
A useful trick is label the stuff as non-working.

Paletts were an optimization, not a kludge.
They are very useful at reducing the number of bytes per pixels that have to be moved.
