I live in Alaska, and I think that these webcams are helpful, but the pilots know the limitations. If they can't get to the site for a few hours, they are not going to hop in the plane and take-off, just hoping that the weather is good. The weather is too fickle here for that. I am not surprised that AK was the first to utilize the webcam for this purpose. We have a 1/2 hour daily weather program on the Alaska channel (that's right our one channel if you don't live in one of the bigger cities or have a sat. dish) and a large portion of this show is aviation weather. But as always, a good pilot always double-checks and files a flight plan before they take-off.
I am waiting for the Aleutian Islands to be covered, that's where the really bad weather is. Most of the pilots I know go to the school websites there, they have been using webcams for about 2 years now.
I glad to know that I am not the only one who put up the $$ for 100 shares (selling my Andover shares yesterday that went up another 20 points after I sold them) and got rejected from the IPO with no explaination except... high demand. And all I wanted to do was pay off my college loans!
Here, here!! I have used NAV for about 3 years now on my network, and except for having trouble downloading updates after a big virii announcement, I have had no problems with the software.
If you are going to produce revenue through advertising, I beg you to go the way of the banner, but NO POP UP ADS. As a consumer, banners- I do read; pop ups- I find soooooo annoying, that I close them as soon as they appear, not even looking at the content. Maybe this is a premature plea, but I hope that I can gather a following.
I cannot find anything on Etrade about it. I looked under filings and offerings and RHAT is not even mentioned. But that doesn't mean they are not involved

It also means that we can use gene manipulations for evil as well. But I guess we already know that.
