Part of the problem is that airlines are cramming more seats into each plane. However the real limiting capacity for carrying people/cargo is not # of seats, its weight. Too heavy, then the plane needs extra runway to reach a higher speed just to get off the ground. Even if it does get off the ground, it may not stay that way for long if weight limits are exceeded.
Then there's the fact that we have more obese travelers. So yeah, not surprised its becoming more of a problem. And technically, weight and balance calculations are required before each flight.
I can confirm this. The VLC media player for iOS will play my itunes music, mp3's, and movies from my upnp media server, on both iphones and ipads.
I've got a 16gb iphone and ipad. Only using half the avail space with lots of apps. Of course, i don't download my movies or much music to it. Better to stream it.
Not sure what happened in ATL, but in central Texas when precip is falling while below freezing, we usually get sleet/ice, not snow. Driving on ice is a different story altogether.
Neil noticed early on that when he gave long winded answers to interview questions, it would be highly edited to fit whatever show it was for. So he started practicing giving short and succinct answers to specific topics. Once he started doing that, his complete answer would make it to the final product, with minimal editing needed.
>As a pilot, takeoff is not at all a sensitive time of flight
Actually, takeoff is a critical part of the flight. If something goes wrong, you're low, slow, and the runway is *behind* you. However if you're already in the pattern (and at pattern alt) you could have an engine failure anywhere on the downwind leg and still make it back around to the runway.
The real question is whether or not 300 or so devices turned on affect the planes navigation systems. I seem to remember a study done a while back indicating the potential for problems (if any) was due more to the screens used by smart phones/ebook readers/etc, than wireless or anything else.
>It's been ages since I've heard audiophile talk. Yup. It's still bullshit.
He's referring to guitar amps, not stereo amps. In the case of guitar amps, tube amps DO sound better than solid state. You don't get the natural harmonic distortion or volume dynamics of a tube amp in a SS. I've played SS amps that try to mimic tube amps, but its still sterile sounding compared to the real thing.
Now in the case of stereo amps, if you want accuracy, then sure, go with SS.
You need an equatorial mount to deal with the field rotation you would normally get in an alt-az mount with long exposure photography. For people with computerized alt-az mounts, you can get an adjustable wedge that goes under the mount head that will align one axis with polaris and solve the field rotation issue; however wedges add weight to an already heavy mount (not to mention shifting the balance of everything upwards).

you would still need a decent text editor.

10.10 is just a more precise version of 10.1.

screw the starship...just give me the holodeck. without the glitches preferably.
Listen to anything by AC/DC. Angus Young plugs his SG directly into a Marshall amp, no effects.

they don't shit plastic materials like we dump into the sea.

Thats awesome! However, what do they suggest to do about the expired birds now embedded in my monitor?
get a friend with a car to help you take it to the nearest Goodwill.
men at work: who can it be now?
And here i was thinking they were talking about Joan Rivers...
The US doesn't have friends. It has interests.
Wouldn't that be Jake Busey? For anybody that's seen Contact at least.
> A good comment is like a BMW or a Volvo. It does the job it is meant to do, does it well, and rarely (if ever) needs to be repaired.
My guess is you've never owned a BMW or Volvo. Maybe if you would've used Toyota or Honda in your analogy...
