I've been using an IBM ThinkPad for a several years, and while I love the little 'pointer stick' type mouse, I've noticed my pointer finger developing 'slop' in between the joints of my finger tip from moving this little nubbin.
My assumption is that the continued use and the pressure that I've used for many long hours of hack sessions has ground away at the bone.
I've since been very concious of using less pressure.
For background -- I'm 26y/o and in good health. I'd imagine older people, whose bones are more brittle, could have even more a problem with repititious actions with devices that were not thought about from a human perspective.
The ultralight-like aircraft are aircraft that what some call 'fat' ultralights, they were operating over the said legal limits of true US ultralights. Most likely being heavier, faster and/or having more than 1 seat, than the US FAA limits allow.
This was a gray zone that the FAA knew existed and is what these new regulations are meant for.
Before this they were legally outside of the regulations and should have had these planes registered as Experimentals. Legally you must hold a US Private Pilots (PP) license in order to fly these planes.
Canada and European FAA like entities have had much more liberal definitions of what the US calls ultralights for some time allowing around double the weight, faster, and 2 seats.
With this new regulation, these pilots (who are operating outside the regulations) are now able to obtain a much easier to get license. Sport Pilots are required at least 20 hours of flight instruction, versus 40 for a PP license (although you'd be hard pressed to find a PP that made it in 40).
PP licenses require cross country, night flights, navigation and a slew of other training that is not required for Sport Pilot (SP).
Before this regulation was issued companies were producing kits to build these 'fat ultralights' to be built at home. The companies couldn't legally sell them complete as they are not ultralights.
Now these companies can legally put them together and charge for it and have them certified as SP legal plane. This is a great thing for the aviation industry.
I seriously doubt that your two seat 'ultralight' is currently FAR 103 legal as an ultralight before this new regulation. If you have enough power to tow something besides yourself, you have a motor on it that tipping the scales over the legal 254lbs. So I'm guessing you've been operating around the old regs, so this will be nothing new.
I'm not condeming you. All I'm saying is nothing has changed with this new allowance.
"(d) If unpowered, weighs less than 155 pounds; or (e) If powered: (1) Weighs less than 254 pounds empty, excluding floats and safety devices which are intended for deployment in a potentially catastrophic situation;"
These ultra-ultralights, such as hang gliders, and powered paragliders are still infact ultralights. They are still subject to FAA FAR 103, just as they were before. Nothing has changed there.
No license is required.
Now I'm not saying you should do it without training!!!
No. This does not limit anything. All this does is allow people to fly planes that are faster/heavier than the ultralight class (which still will not require a license) with a license that requires MUCH easier to attain than a full private pilots license.
Ultralights that were were in compliance with FAA FAR 103 BEFORE this new allowance are still in compliance and will not require anything more.
And actually, the weight limit has been increased from the initial publication of specs to 1,320lbs. So some of the planes listed on the bottom half of the URL I posted are now legal as well.
Well candy can make people affect people for the worse. Especially small children. I don't know about you but seeing those little hellions running around with a roll of those compressed sugar wafers (Smarties), and a Venti Mocha Frappacino(tm) scares the bejesus outta me!!
I drive a 2001 Audi S4. It has a V6 twin turbo manual 6-speed. EPA says 17 city, 24 hwy. I drive mostly highway. During the summer months here in FL (lots of A/C), I tend to get around 20mpg average with my normal, very aggressive driving.
Altough, around 2 months ago I performed a 'test'.
During the whole tank of gas, I accelerated as slow as I could never pressing the gas more than 1/4 of the way. I knew the lighs were going to turn red, so why accelerate? I eased on slowly and came up to the red using as little break as possible (a waste of energy)... maybe even rolling into the light as it would turn green and _then_ slowly accerlerating.
On the highway, I would stay in the right lane (insane for me). The speed limit is 70, but I would hold 63.
For the tank I averaged 35mpg.
Moral of the story. The car you choose does have a lot to do with your final MPG. But your driving habits also have a huge amount to do with your fuel usage.
It supports everything that Gnome-Term does but has much better tab support (including moving tabs). Better shortcut key management. Allows splitting a terminal horizontally and or vertically within a tab. Has terminal "bonding" allowing typing the same thing in multiple windows. Supports background images with brightness contrast/tinting/gamma like Eterm, but configurable graphically.
Only thing is it hasn't been binary pkgs haven't been rereleased for current distros... but the old packages work pretty well!
There is a twin jet engined (RC model plane ducted fans) used on the smallest human flown ultralight the Cri-Cri. It can fly with one engine running 100MPH with both it tops at 150MPH.
Version 1.3.x with GTK2 support is a complete rewrite of Galeon 1.2. I still use Galeon 1.2.10 (the last RPM released). I think to call the new one Galeon is unfair really.... as it doesn't work the same way as the old version and is missing tons of features.
Your fighting a loosing battle son. I know you spent all your hard earned money on your paper certificates. I know you think that they mean your smart.
Companies don't care about these 'savings' even if they were true. Why? Because they want to get away from the Microsoft monopoly. They did it with their choice of the PC, and now they are doing it with the software that runs on them.
Commodity, standards based software will be the winner in the end.
If your familiar with the olden days of the red,blue,black boxes for phone hacking (phreaking) check out the Chrome Box. Although this is not actually a 'box' but explains a method to control traffic signals with a strobe light.

I think this could definitley be a problem.

Heh. Yeah I suppose that is legal then. Although why you can hook up multiple *lights to tug gliders but you cannot legaly tow banners is beyond me :)
:)
I would however like to see photos of this!

Before this you could not legally fly a 2 seater 'ultralight' unless you are a certified ultralight instructor (...or hold a private pilot license).
This now allows people to fly these aircraft as a Sport Pilot.
You can also now get your 2 seater classified as either a sport pilot plane or as an experimental.
As for towing, I haven't seen anything related to it.
No. This does not limit anything. All this does is allow people to fly planes that are faster/heavier than the ultralight class (which still will not require a license) with a license that requires MUCH easier to attain than a full private pilots license.

These are the standard class aircraft that are considered to be sport pilot legal.
It will however allow the American public more FREEDOM. Which is what America is supposed to be all about.
Sounds like a lot of work when you could just rent a U-Haul and use a lot cheaper explosives.
Also forgot to mention US ultralights are limited to 63mph.
These planes ARE LIGHT. Meaning they weigh no more than 1,320 pounds. Most of them can only carry around 450lbs. This means people and FUEL.
See here for an example only has capacity for 35lbs of baggage! These are not dangerous vehicles.
You could do way more damage with a U-Haul or Ryder truck and a few oil drums of fertilizer...
As far as 'Ultralight's they are even lighter being limited at around 254lbs for a powered aircraft, and only ONE seat.

People you need to check out Multi-Gnome-Terminal.

Give it a try.. you'll like it!
There is a twin jet engined (RC model plane ducted fans) used on the smallest human flown ultralight the Cri-Cri. It can fly with one engine running 100MPH with both it tops at 150MPH.
What sort of redundancy does their new office layout provide? Are there any significant speed gains with this enhancement?

ok ok it should have been: UNDERPAteNTS :-D
1) Quietly Collect UNDERPAteNtS
2)Wait for some company to make lots of money totally legitimately
3)Sue until your stock price doubles!
