You'll be waiting ~ 3-4 hours before somebody comes and finds you, if they are really good at it.
First, wait for a satellite pass will notify the Air Force. They will then verify it if they can, contact the FAA for missing flights, etc. The next call goes out to the Civil Air Patrol wing that is responsible for that area. They in turn will normally notify the local authorities who are in charge of S&R. Of course, when you broadcast on 121.5, that sound is audible in every Airtraffic Control center that it can reach.
Once they have done this, they will organize a ground based S&R party and try get a general area of where the signal is coming from. Remember, this is non-directional, so they have to go to a few different places, measure the direction and approx. strength of the signal, and then they will know about where it is. Triangulation sucks, esp. with trees and mountains.
Once they have done this, they'll start their search. Oh, if it's at night and it's not somewhere near them, they'll wait until the morning. Hope you don't keel over at night.
Finally, once they triangulate it, they home in on it. In this case, they homed it to an apartment. Questioned the guy, and went back out into the hallway and confirmed it was coming from there.
So, do you REALLY want a 121.5 ELT locator? I would get one of the new 406mhz ones which are digitally encoded with your information. In addition, some models offer GPS in them that will transmit your GPS coordinates when it sends it. Much nicer and easier to find.
Oh, and I'm not a CAP member any more. But, it was fun while I did it. Not enough time now, but, maybe after I'm done building my airplane I'll have time.
I would suggest that the next XPrize be a vehicle challenge.
Develop a zero emmisions vehicle able to travel 1,000 miles, carrying 4 people, minimum distance between stops being 200 miles. No stop may last longer than 15 minutes.
This would essentially emulate a family driving in any EU or N. American country. All while driving a stake through the Oil companies hearts.
http://www.kgw.com/ has been having live video feeds if you have Windows Media Player.
They've had their helicopter over the mountain for about 40 minutes now with a live feed, and have had some good shots of inside the volcano crater, looking at the hole that was created from the blast.
I'm looking at it from near Portland, OR. I'm waiting for a big "Poof" and for all of our TV stations to be interrupted. The erruption will probably be steam and some more lava pouring onto the surface helping to rebuild the cone. It's happened a few times since 1980.
The "fear factor" report on the news today was that the dam built to hold up rocks and trees was already overloaded after 8 years but was intented to last 50 years. They followed that up with all the fish hatcheries on the Columbia River are going to be destroyed because of small sediment going downstream from a single river. And then they followed that up with a shooting in North Portland.
Be afraid.. be very afraid.. of what you are told.
While stored in this environment, it's safe. You have to have a simple process to extract it. Expanding upon his product, there are solutions that you can actually embed the hydrogen in a foam like solution in a cars body. Your car is the gas tank. Your bumper could store all the hydrogen safely.
I didn't realize that the terrorists used the ariel photographs and GIS information to figure out how to fly an airplane somewhere. I guess they were using the GIS data to find the highest point in Manhatan and didn't look out the window.
Maybe we should prohibit aircraft from having navigational equipment like GPS. Or we'll let them have it, we just wont' tell them where the mountains are.
Oh wait... I forgot, this law only prohibits citizens of the United States from getting public information. People in other countries are free to buy satellite and surveyed information from companies outside the US.
Wow, all these replies and I was Trolled on my original post. I wonder if our moderator is an Apple lover. Oh wait, we're in the Apple.slashdot.org area.
I like OSX for one reason, it's Unix based. It's a bastardized Unix, but, weren't all of them at one point?
While XP isn't the greatest, it does do a lot of stuff. I can run all of those Adobe products that use to be exclusively Mac. My scanner works when I plug it in. I have software so I can launch X apps on my XP desktop at work. I can go and buy upgrades for a lot less $$. Now what does your MAC do that I can't do on a Windows/Linux box?
BTW, I liked the fact that your single "Button" works good. My wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse have never once failed.
FireFox is distrubuted under the Mozilla Public License 1.1. Remember, software today is under "License", even source code. Section 6 of the Mozilla Public License dictates that "Netscape Communications Corporation (''Netscape'') may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.".
Since AOL OWNS Netscape Communications Coporation as of the merger, they are free to relicense the product. But, they have reserved the right to change the license at any time they would like, including making new changes/versions private.
Anybody could modify an existing version up to the license change. But, after that, even to add enhancements or HTML 5.0 standards, without their approval could spell disaster. At some point they can simply say that "We own it and you can't have it".
IANAL, but, I would always follow the money trail. It's not a government (back in the days of NCSA browser) poroject. But, rather an enterprise who needs to make money to survive. Nothing is free, not even in a global economy. Get rid of IE (I use Firefox now because IE is WAY behind the time and I hate ActiveX), and what do you have, another Monopoly.
While the open source license gives some security, at some point we have to prepared for the inevitibility of it becoming a commercial project and all those contributors being screwed out of their almost full time contributions at $0 pay.
Lets see, Put the CPU and DVD with the LCD screen. But, it's "NOT A LAPTOP". Then WTF is it? This is a horrible design by Apple to try to reinvent the Laptop and charge $x4 for it.
You can buy a good Dell laptop and put Linux on it and have just as many applications you can run without the crappy Mac "Single Pulldown Menu" GUI on it. How can somebody use this who has a brain. It's too hard to think about ONE application at a time. "did I click in the right window? Oh wait, that was Apple Paint program, I have 6 other Photoshop windows. But they all have the same menu. Whatever shall I do!?!"
If Dell released a machine that was a PC without a power supply (Let's face it, the MAC has an external DC power supply), was a hacked up with a DVD, and had USB ports everything external, people wouldn't pay over $400. But, since this is Apple, it's magical and worth $1200 for the barebones, $4k+ for a machine that did anything.
Oh, and don't give me the RISC/CISC debate. Sun has "SLOWlaris" for a reason. IT'S SLOW! So are Mac's now. Thank god for video accelorators. All of Apples claims are based on this after reviewing their site.
Does this mean I need to patch my eMule so that I stop sharing my files after 9 users? Now, I don't KNOWINGLY share all of a file with one person. Generally I might share just one hash of a song. So if I design patch my software to only give out a portion of one son, I'll be ok.
This bill would provide that it is a crime, punishable by a fine not exceeding $2,500, imprisonment in a county jail for a period not exceeding one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment for a person who is located in California, who knows that a particular recording or audiovisual work is commercial, to knowingly electronically disseminate all or substantially all of that commercial recording or audiovisual work to more than 10 other people without disclosing his or her e-mail address, and the title of the recording or audiovisual work.
Us liberals are such idiots thinking that people should be able to do what they want. We just want to let people marry whomever they want, smoke whatever they want, say whatever they want.
I'm glad that you have helped me find my way.

Yea, I watched the end to see just how far he went into Oregon. I hate Medford too! Although my roommate's parents live by the Oregon Vortex and own a horse ranch. Grabbing a few horses and packing it out for a night or two is the only way to camp!
I think they needed a way to say "This song is copyrighted. The RIAA is coming to get you" without corrupting the quality of the MP3 music itself (artists would get upset).
That way all RIAA approved players that support the limited DRM only plays the last two tracks while WinAmp plays them all.
Just think, RIAA in my rear channels with Metallica in the front. Woo hoo!
I think I still own 8 real shares from options I exercised many years ago at Lycos. At their current stock price, I could use them to buy the domain. To think they were worth about $720 at one point when I had them. Doh!

Is this in the same place that use to have the flight simulators? Seems on the map to be the same place. Either that, or it's next door.

I forgot to mention it does have a normal Windows Explorer view (Drag and Drop).
WinSCP on SourceForce
Most people get the two side view of the world, and it's open source. Supports SCP and SFTP.

Your bud, god@heaven.com
P.S. - There can be only one.
Does this mean we have to maintain 3 miles of seperation from the vehicle in front of us with IFR seperation when approaching our house?
What if it's foggy up by SFO on the 101. Oh god, I'd have to circle my neighborhood for 45 minutes before being allowed to head to work.
Why not just buy up the Mozilla.org assets from AOL? Time Warner needs the money.
A little more money into Firefox wouldn't hurt. Besides, if AOL keeps it they'll start pushing ads into it sooner or later.
Sounds like a chapter right out of Ender's Game. Damn that Peter Wiggin, err.. Locke! Yea! Damn that Locke!
Now we just need to have a pen based computer for each kid in school. Whoops, that's already happening too.
