Doesn't matter. Even if it's your own plane, and you are the only one going to fly it, you still have to obey the rules.
You never know, you might hijack yourself with that pocket knife!
NOTICE: An actual, real, does-this-for-a-living pilot as told me this. This isn't some assumption on my part.
He told you wrong. If you aren't going through the secured terminal (which 99.9% of private flights don't), then you don't need security screening. I am an actual, real, living pilot and I've flown through over 250 airports large and small in the USA on private flights. O'Hare is the only one I've seen that actually has even a metal detector for private flights... I walk through, it beeps (because of my pocket knife, flashlight, keys, etc. on my person) and they wave me on through.
In other news, Congress is passing new legislation mandating minimum flexibility requirements for buggy whips.
Anyone who isn't skipping through commercials with their DVR deserves loud commercials.
Its not because he's rich, its because its his own fucking plane and quite honestly he should be able to do whatever he wants to with his own property
Agreed. I have never flown a private airplane to Japan but here in the US private airplanes are NEVER accessed through commercial gates, i.e. you don't go through the normal security areas. I have flow into countless small airports but also O'Hare, Nashville, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and many other large airports - and only one time (O'Hare) did I even go through a metal detector. It went off like a brass band (I had 2 knives plus keys, watch, phone, etc) - the guard just waved me on through.
Now, if I were going to bring throwing stars home from Japan - I'd ask about it, not assume same rules as home. But, if I had such items at ANY airport in the USA with a private plane, I would have no qualms about carrying them in my briefcase.
I think that Jobs doesn't really want to eliminate jailbreaking - just not make it so easy that everyone does it.
The fact that iPhones can be jailbroken (jailbreaked?) means that a lot of people who would not otherwise buy the phone, will go ahead and get it. Even those that jailbreak probably buy a few apps from Apple anyway - and Apple doesn't have to support any problems they have. It's a win-win for Apple, non-JB phones are easily supported and JB phones don't have to be.
As a small eCommerce business owner, I spent a lot of time working on making my site appealing and functional - and as a result I chose NOT to use Flash. It's slow, cumbersome, does not work with all browsers (often due to users actively disabling it), does not play well with accessibility add-ons, and is arguably more difficult to maintain.
I chose to use ASP due to my own experience with it but the back-end technology isn't important, the output presented to the browser is simply HTML with CSS.
My site has ZERO specific enhancements for mobile users but as it happens the site renders quite acceptably on an iPhone.
Mac mini, Apple remote, and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
I use exactly this setup, it works great. I also have DVDPedia with the plug-in for Front Row so I can pull up all my ripped DVD's with the Apple remote, very handy.
I have a box that takes DVI and Toslink and converts it into HDMI, but I've never gotten around to hooking it up - the Mac Mini works fine through the VGA port.
>>With DVR's becoming more and more popular, the time that a show airs is less and less important.
Agreed. My first reaction to the article was that I have no idea what day or time the shows that I like to watch are on the air. My DVR grabs them, when I have some idle time and want to watch TV I hit the "List" button and there they are.
Who was this suspect traveling companion, this possible terrorist?... Anderson's two-year old daughter, that's who. This toddler was identified by name as one too dangerous to let on a plane.
It's his own damn fault for naming his daughter "Osama bin Laden"...
How do you mark an article submission as "Troll"?
Beautiful Mind was not a terribly accurate film; it took a ton of non-realistic liberties for "artistic" sake. Also, it was (poorly) showing a relatively severe case of schizophrenia... Hardly a "best case" scenario.
H2O2 is still a common disinfectant, and while force-feeding it in massive quantities to mice can cause cancers, there's no evidence that I've ever heard to it being a human carcinogen. In fact, there are methods using H2O2 to treat cancer.
with the new Cingular Nation plan - you roam all the available GSM network through out the US...
I have the current AT&T equivalent package, and spend a lot of time roaming onto Cingular's network in certain rural areas. I'm looking forward to having a larger GSM "home" area, so that I can switch to the non-"National" plan, which will be cheaper and will allow me to add a family phone.
Please, unless you live waaay out in the sticks.... the 2.4GHz band is getting crowded enough; cranking up your WAP output by 4 times just so you can use a laptop in the basement crapper can be a very un-neighborly thing to do. I'm having a hard time coming up with a channel that isn't being stomped on or stomping on someone else's nearby WLAN.
Wal-Mart seems like a huge competitor. But the on-line presence is weak
It seems to me that Wal-Mart's online presence is growing dramatically. I started using their Fuji in-store kiosks earlier this year for prints from my digital camera, and then found out that I could just upload them through the Web site and specify the store where I want to pick up the prints. Great for sending Christmas prints to family in other areas!
The music service looks good to me too. I don't use an iPod or a Mac so I've never looked at iTunes or the ITMS. But, I bought a couple albums from walmart.com last week. Pretty cool really, I may stop listening to XM Radio as much:-)
This is a new application of an old idea - diesel locomotive engines use this exact approach (well, their motors aren't "In" the wheel, but otherwise similar).
Diesel locos use a Diesel powerplant to generate electricity, which is then used to run the electric motors powering the drive wheels. It's very effective and proven technology.
Strongly agree. We sell the Delphi units (SkyFi and Roady), and Sirius has nothing that can hold a candle to either in terms of functionality and size. We specialize in putting them on motorcycles, so size is of a primary concern... but even in my cars, I really appreciate the SkyFi, and in my wife's BMW Z3 the Roady is going to be a great solution.

There are a lot of phased array sat antennas on the market, e.g. http://www.raysat.com/ - TFS makes it sounds like a new idea.

Yes, I know, it's a development vehicle, not intended for sale.
So the point of your rant is..... what exactly?
For a large majority of people, that device is the iPhone.
A 3% global market share is your idea of a "large majority"?
Try a 25%+ US market share of smartphones. Pedantically speaking this is a large minority, not a majority, but either way it's a lot of phones.
He's not cutting gemstones - It's a SIM card, they're cheap. If he'd trashed it, he would have just gone and gotten another one.

Actually a factor of 121 (12" - 1" = 11")

With over 1 million subscribers on XM now, I'd think that they would do whatever necessary to ensure backward-compatibility.
Not so. There was a case of a 767 dead-stick landing in Canada several years ago (fuel starvation due to liters vs. gallons confusion).
