the fully laden wings droop substantially, and I believe they almost drag on the ground when full.
From my observation of the live takeoff video feed from the airport, I didn't see any drooping at all. At the end of RWY 35 where it sat a good portion of the day, the wings looked perfectly level in all shots I saw on the feed - including the moments immediately prior to takeoff. Once the takeoff roll was underway and especially once airborne, the wings appeared to have a slight bend upwards at the tips.
It used to be just plain www. But when I load (and reload, and reload) that URL above in a browser, it refreshes fine (current image). Using WebcamWatcher, with the exact same URL, it won't load the image at all. I have confirmed that other images from other sites load fine in that software, so it's not the network or the webcam software.
I have been capturing the JPG stream of the cockpit image (using Beausoft WebcamWatcher). I'm up to over 5400 images so far, they are updating the JPG every six seconds, over a satellite phone (IIRC) to their website. Will be interesting to make a MOV out of the complete batch of JPGs from the cabin. Each JPG is about 11KB, 352x240 pixels. I also do see the "loss of data" every once in a while but usually only for a few minutes at a time.
Same as when you get some (allegedly) really cool new car. You'd swear that everyone on the road has one, you see them everywhere. Of course, you never saw one before you got one, even though there were roughly the same number on the road before you got yours.
Of course, this is probably simply random, but on iTunes I have heard some awesome segues, that would put the best radio Program Directors to shame. Things like outcues and incues in the same key or on a similar note, complementary tempo matches, etc.
OK, maybe it's just me, but there are some real jems sometimes IMHO.
The main problem I have is with the Crossfade playback in iTunes. If you have it too high, cold>cold segues will step on each other. Set it too low, and you get gaps on longer fading tracks. Of course, that isn't a problem on iPods (that whole gap thing).
On a computer, something like MegaSeg is better because you can specifically set the segue point for every track just like they do at your favorite station, especially if you are doing any internet broadcasting (but MegaSeg isn't cheap).
OK, so it took me just a few minutes more to find it (not the slashdot story itself, but the correct subject anyways). I guess you could say 'the karma's in the mail' now?
I have to say I don't have a problem with this. These test strips are labeled with a specific calibration number that must be matched in your glucometer. Considering that proper blood sugar readings could be considered a life-critical issue for a diabetic, I don't have a qualm with 'expired' strips being unuseable. Our insurance covers the cost of them anyways, and as it is we go through 3 or 4 a day anyways.
interesting take on it, I don't own an HP printer newer than my 2000C (and will probably never, due to the problems in my other posting), so I don't know if that's still the status quo in the current printer line. But I hadn't thought of that possibility.
Sorry, not intending to karma whore, but I remember another problem I had that also rendered a perfectly good cartridge as unuseable (I suspect because of the chip in the cartridge thinking the cartridge was 'empty', due to the problem below, and forever marking the cartridge as such even after the repair).
In 2003, I had a problem with the HP 2000C breaking the "ink supply station". Essentially this particular mess of plastic parts and gears that the ink cartridges mount into, will regularly break. Once it breaks (apparently most frequently the arm for the cyan cart), you can no longer use what may have previously been a good cartridge after you complete the repair.
I was able to order a new "ink supply station" from HP and repair the damage myself, but I remember it being a rather detailed repair. Unfortunately, I no longer have the web pages up that I had posted at the time, but hopefully this usenet thread with my postings will explain the problem better.
PS: don't particularly care that it reveals my name. no big deal.
Well, I didn't word that properly, but I think at least one person got the gist. I installed an expired cartridge once (according to the date on the package) and via the little copper pads going to the embedded chip in the cartridge, the printer wouldn't let me use it.
...that this is true. My trusty older HP2000C business color inkjet still sees regular use with both Windows XP and OS X. Anyways, the cartridges (HP 10, and also HP 11 which work fine) have an expiration date printed on the foil package. I had occasion to install one of these once and the printer configuration software told me it was expired and refused to use it, even though I could shake it and hear it was full.
"Renewable" energy has been discussed here fairly regularly. One potentially promising technology, Renewable Energy from Algae, is in fact very feasible, according to an energy conference I helped run recently.
The disadvantage is that they do take a significant cut
Speakeasy credits you 80% of what you charge the neighbors, directly to your broadband bill. But they give your "WiFi NetShare" customers (who are really their customers) 3 speakeasy.net email accounts (that can be POP'd), a backup 5 hr. per month dial up account, and telephone tech support. If the total of all your credits total up to more than the total montly cost of your account, you don't get the extra money back.
Nevermind, there goes the karma, I think I read your post wrong. They would be non-random precisely because there are so few. Oh well, time to slow down the 'submit' clicking.

Previously updated about every six seconds, now I am only getting refreshes every 45-60 seconds.

Sheesh, neverming, working again with WCW. Anyways hope the info on the URL above is still helpful.
Sorry.
Now when you try to load the cockpit image using Firefox or IE, you get back the following URL and image

Look, if you're the same person as the other post alleging this, either pony up some details or shut the hell up.
Missed something. That's FL 570.

But I digress.
Is that anything like Middleware or Vaporware?
What process did CitiBank go through to verify that the picture submitted to print on the card is the actual cardholder?
Gee, I was expecting to be, uhh, blown away by the piece. Can't say that I was.
Here's a mirror then:

This isn't what you're looking for, but didn't Union Pacific raise a big stink about the modeling community wanting to use UP logos on scale trains?

must be the latter. I actually did at the time what you suggested, but no go.
