Step one: Buy a VFR Cherokee 140 or similar for $20K Step two: Find flight instructor and pay them $20/hr for lessons (that's a lot more than an FBO will pay them)
For less than the cost of a midrange sedan, you can have an airplane and your lessons. You can spend $10K later to upgrade your panel to IFR and get your instrument rating.
General Aviation is not the extravagant thing that class-warfare liberals and the big airlines would have you think it is.
Americans in general are a lot more willing to prolong life, regardless of the expense, and regardless of the quality of that life. I, for one, would prefer to check out of the game at a younger age with good health rather than spending 10 miserable years in a nursing home shitting on myself.
Europe is not exactly known for its stellar productivity per capita per hour rates, but I still can't imagine that Apple's negligence didn't still cost $Billions.
It's too bad the time change isn't in August when Europe isn't producing anything. The effect would have been nil.
Only reason I said 20 years is because that's how long it has been since I took Freshmen calculus. My wife recently went back to school to finish her degree, so she's taking it now, and it's exactly the same as it was when I took it.
So, 20 years is the only span over which I could reasonably claim knowledge and have a preponderance of evidence to back it up:)
By the time I was in grad school at GaTech, undergraduate courses were spinning revs every quarter, and the only thing that would change would be the problems. This eliminated the book buy-back market almost entirely, because profs of course would require problems from the book.
Undergrad level calc has not changed in the last 20 years. There's no reason someone shouldn't be able to use a calc book handed down from a parent or older sibling. Yet, term after term, every student is nearly compelled to spend $140 on a new book.
It's no wonder our educational system from cradle to PhD is a complete failure. Institutions are too focused on productizing and profiteering rather than growing the world's best talent.
It is not cloak and dagger accounting. It is moving money to where it is needed in the business. If I were a multinational, I would do as much work as possible in countries with the least expensive combination of labor and tax rates.
If the US cannot compete because she has to pay for her bloated social welfare programs, war operations, and insane debt service costs, that's her own damn fault.
This works except for the plain view doctrine. Any information that is available in plain view, which when adapted to the context of the modern Internet include any information that you put in a publicly viewable site such as Slashdot, is free for use by anyone who can see it.
In real terms, if you leave your house, anyone can see what color your skin is. They cannot be prohibited from communicating that information to someone else. You cannot tell someone they are not allowed to know that which they can see in plain view.
Since the moon is moving away from the Earth, currently at a rate of a few cm/year, how much mass would have to be removed to stop the rate of departure?
The 747 is a symbol of American industrial and technological innovation and might. Taking one apart and turning it into an eco-home is really just a symbol destroying American industry to save the environment.
We have far more to lose for defaulting on our debt than does China. FAR more.
Yes, it would suck for China to be holding a bunch of defaulted US debt, but were the US to be a day late paying anything, the entire US Economy would cease to exist overnight. The full faith and credit of the United States Treasury is the ONLY reason anyone buys US debt. It's perceived to be almost as safe an investment as Gold. Put a chink in that armor, and the US is finished.
China has been working hard to diversify its markets. China is heavily into telecom development in the third world, tightly woven with Russia in the energy markets (coal for gas, etc), and could survive without us.
Listen to the advice in this thread. You cannot do better building the PCs yourself unless you have a pretty massive support infrastructure, space, time, and staff.

Gets me wherever I need to go. No TSA. No airport parking fees. No waiting around. No bullshit. Just 125 knots of bliss...
Coverity is not a charitable organization, so the only question I have is: "who paid for the analysis?"
I don't believe Google would have paid an outside firm. After all, people at Google view themselves as "the best of the best."
I suspect Apple might have had something to do with this.
I'm starting to think it would be easier to keep track of when Europe is NOT on holiday, rather then when they ARE.
"yes we have 7 fixed working days every year, and 3 floating work days."

What's this "give" word you keep using, and how does it relate to a college education?
I've been able to have two Wifi laptops communicate in an ad-hoc network forever, so how is this really different?

Am I the only one who is getting a little tired of this meme?
I didn't know mass was a unit of size. :p
1.5 Jupiter Masses = 2.8479 * 10^27 kg, in case anyone was wondering.

Silicon Valley has no idea how to build cars.
Detroit knows how to build cars.
It doesn't matter that it's a hybrid or a solar or a whatever. When it comes to manufacturing, Silicon Valley doesn't have any. Detroit does.

I browse in a VM that reverts all disk changes when it is powered off.
I thought that's the way they were engineered - to generate revenue by way of having to replace them annually.
