All you would have to do is register it as an experimental aircraft. Of course the FAA might not approve your type certificate but if you have 9 mill to buy it, I'm sure you could scrape together the cash for a couple of lawyers to push the paperwork for you.
To plagiarize would be to take credit for the work of another. To wite down the words of a poem and post it in a public place with credits removed is not. Methinks responding with the name of the author would have been a much nicer. The tone of your response has damaged the good reputation of the honorable Mr. AC, and caused irreparable harm to his good name. Mr AC is everywhere, perhaps even watching you right now. Not a good idea to get him mad.
Being a pilot is like being a professional athlete (for life).????? What??? You have had two CAL reconstructions and could still fly for Delta. How is that like being a pro athlete for life? Most of the pilots I work with are overweight. Article: Pilots for the majors make too much money. Cavemanf16: Flying an F16 (nice plane by the way) requires skills similar to a pro athlete. Me: Are we reading the same article here?
I agree with some of your points, but some of them have little merit.
Navigation (Ever had a bus wind up 50 miles off course because the prevailing winds changed direction? Didn't think so...)
I work on Learjets so perhaps the planes I play with have better equipment, however I doubt there is a single commercial jet out there without a full navigation suit onboard.
Altitude effects like hypoxia (unless your bus happens to be driving up to Mount Everest Base camp)
Planes have pressurized cabins and O2 systems.
Gas turbine engines (when's the last time you saw a bus with one of these?)
#1 Eng to start... Throttle lever to idle. Lights look normal.. #2 to start etc... I could teach a bus driver to start one of these things in half an hour. You may have a point on engine failure, but it is quite rare. For the most part, My laptop and I can tell you it's time to change the engine a couple hundred hours before anything fails in flight. I will however concede that point because there are quite a few CF6s out there and they like to fall apart with little warning.
They are a private company, and thus do not file, but as soon as they sell 2Bn worth of stock to the public we will know exactly how much they make and where it comes from. If they are planing to IPO, they should be filing with the SEC soon. First/.er to hunt it down and file?
SCO may say quite a bit, however, one needs only to read the contracts and ammendments available for your veiwing pleasure at SCO.com. The initial contract clearly granted AT&T the right to derivative works, however, they later terminated the derivitive works clause in the contract. SCO's exhibit C. Letter from AT&T to IBM (PDF). See Para 2.
In civil cases, you must prove only that the "preponderance of the evidence" points to wrongdoing. In a civil jury trial, you only need a majority of the jurors to decide in your favor, not 100%.
You are right about the preponderance of the evidence, however, I believe you mis stated the second part. To the best of my knowledge, all jurors must agree on the liabilaty of the defendant.
even in the very unlikely case that SCO won the suit, the damages awarded would be close to $0. Damages are required for a plaintif to win a suit. Because there were no damages, SCO wouldn't win.
Fell's Point at night is much better. I could spend a couple nights of any vacation at Rex's Tavern. That place rules. We, The soggy residents of Fells Point, Heartialy agree with the first part of your statment. As to the second part, there are a few inaccuracies that we cannot let pass without correction. After a few seconds thought, it was detirmined that you were speaking of Max's, which while alright for tourists, lacks the distinctive personality and character of the rest of Fells point. I would proudly mention The Wharf Rat (Fells Point not Downtown), Fletchers, Coopers, John Stevens (Temporarialy closed due to flooding), and perhaps even Miss Irene's which was voted the best place to get drunk by The City Paper. While on the subject, I would be remiss in my duty not to mention Thf Fells Point Festival which is this weekend. A few hundred thousand drunks turn the place into one huge party.

So, unless the settlment specificaly denies the use of a digital signature as described, it is legal. On to the terms of the settelment... Oh wait, the final terms of the settelment have not yet been written. It will be a simple matter of law, If MS can get the terms written in a manner that precludes electronic signatures, then they will be right. If they can't, then they will be wrong. Does anyone have the terms of the proposed settelment?
The fact that there were no injuries or deaths from the result of an accident or incident is mute. In an industry with a statisticaly insignifigant accident rate, such as commercial aviation in the US, you have to look at the maximum potental harm in order to run an effective safety program. An engine failure on the ground and an engine failure on takeoff can be caused by the exact same human error but in one case people die and in the other we replace an engine. If we want to collect any stasticaly signifigant data, we have to treat the incident in the same manner as we treat the accident.

They certainly have their target market nailed pretty well.
The problem with free updates is that users sometimes install them. What's wrong with that you say? Read on to the point where Mr. Gates says that that MS is intent on persuing the growing security market.
1. Make faulty software. 2. Charge for updates so that no one installs them 3. Sell security software to companies that are attacked by hacked windows boxen. 4. Profit
The laws in regards to telephone lines, as I understand it, actually require the line owners to share the lines with other companies--originally with the purpose of enhancing telephone network inter-call-ability. Since these laws apply to DSL providors and the like, you can get, say, Earthlink DSL through Verizon lines.
There was a recent ruling that changed this. I don't have time to do the research on it right now, but here's an extract from Findlaw.com's analysys of The FCC'S UNE Triennial Review Order.
The FCC eliminated line sharing as a UNE, to be phased out over a three-year period. Competing firms will only be entitled to acquire new customers during the first year and, during the three-year period, the price for the high frequency portion of the loop will increase incrementally towards the market cost of a full loop.
Competitive DSL services will be hit hard by this finding. The Commission apparently is betting on "intermodal" competition to prevent rate increases caused by its decision to eliminate DSL competition. For these competitors, a close reading of the language of the final order will be imperative to ascertain whether there is any basis for overturning this aspect of the decision.

And IBM has lobbyists too, plus they could easily donate the entire value of SCO to political campaigns if they wanted to.
I tried to donate the entire value of SCO but no one wanted my two cents.
