I'm with you there. I mean, com'on. People know that there is risk involved in this kind of thing. Let people take risks. I don't want Uncle Same babying me until I die.
And also the flyer's responsibility to protect the lives and property of others on the air and ground. (kinda goes without saying).
Yes. The sport pilot rules have limitations on what kind of airspace you can operate in. This helps prevent less safe pilots from flying over densely populated areas. I think that is a reasonable limitation.
I'm a private pilot and I DO agree with your viewpoint. Government regulation has been killing general aviation. I'm glad that they're allowing all folks the opportunity to enjoy flying.
As for safety, it should be up to the flyer to preserve his own life. I don't want the government to baby me. I can take care of myself.
About ten years ago, I worked at a defense contractor. We had a project to identify aircraft based on the microphone clicks from their transmissions. As it turns out, radios from the same make and model have unique RF ramp up and cut off patterns. This allows you to identify a particular transmitter based on its transients.
The details of the project were classified, but I will say that, even ten years ago, the results were impressive.
I'm with you on this, but I thought of something interesting. If you made it illegal to advertise with illegal spam, then couldn't spammers extort money from legitimate businesses by threatening to advertise on their behalf?
It's an odd twist, but nothing like this is below the spammers.
Yes, the business would probably eventually prevail in a court of law, especially if they could prove that they were the victim of an extortion attempt, but the hassle would be expensive in and of itself.
I wish people on cell phones would be more courteous, and only take calls where acceptable, and then only speak as loud as they need too.
My general rule of thumb is to move to a place where a pay phone (for those of us old enough to know what that is) would naturally be placed and then talk as if I were on a pay phone.
For example, in the airport find a spot in a hallway or in a corner and turn your back to the crowd. In a restaurant (even a fast food restaurant), take the call and quickly move outside or to a deserted area.
These would probably be a great inexpensive satellite replacement for communications, but they would not be able to replace spy satellites (which must be discreet), nor could they replace geostationary satellites that service other space vehicles (such as the GPS constellation).
Actually, I have something specific in mind. Clean Films is a company with a Netflicks like business model, except that they distribute movies that you could like to an airplane version. Since they do the editing themselves, I'd like to know how they have stayed in business. It's a very interesting situation.
Sure. If the copyright owner wants to hold back something for political reasons, it's their material that they're holding back. They can do what they want with it.
Personally, though, I'd like to get some old Dukes of Hazard reruns.
Bandwidth Considerations at Hot Spots

WiFi Phone Announced

This would probably work well on a LAN, but would this really work well between networks at all Wi-fi hot spots? I'd be concerned about spotty coverage where the Internet connection is slow, such as at a coffee shop or hotel where every computer on the network is sharing one DSL connection.
Also, since Wi-fi coverage is still spotty, even inside of cities, traditional mobile service is probably still the best solution for most folks. Once Wi-fi becomes more widely deployed, then this kind of device could displace traditional mobile techs.

Yes! Thank you! That needed to be said.
I can hardly understand German anymore, but it's still easier to understand the German site than that computer generated "translation."
Can anybody take a crack at a decent translation?

These toxins are produced with DHMO!
SUPPORT A BAN ON DHMO!

Yes. I meant by a majority of the jury.
I guess that a spammer advertising a sex site better hope that he's tried in LA and not Salt Lake.
What defines sexually explicit??
"I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I see it."
Seriously, though. If any reasonable person on a jury in a court of law thinks that it's sexually explicit, then that's good enough.

This is a great idea! You could easily map the ID output into a sequence of port knocks.

I guess you're right. I hadn't considered that scenario.

It just shows respect for those around you.
I would demand a recount!
Oh, wait. Thanks to e-voting, theres nothing to recount.
Oops...
I thought that I read somewhere that the space shuttle uses GPS to establish it's position in orbit. Maybe that's only for landing approach, though.

Is it legal to make and edit copies of commercial DVDs for personal use? What about loaning out the edited copies to friends?

I use Opera. I just zommed in until I could see my dog.

So will the UN make a pledge not to upgrade any of its computers for the next ten years, or do they just want for me to make that pledge?
