And that basically boils down to exactly what I said - "he/she gives you the okay to" is pretty much the same thing as "up to the pilot/flight crew".
If you want to nitpick on wording, fine. But the net effect is - the decision falls on the pilot with the requirement that they explicitly ok it, which is exactly what I said in the first place.
b.1-4 give you additional devices that allow you to go ahead and use without even asking.
Re-read my post... The FAA doesn't have any restrictions other than what is deemed acceptable by the flight crew. The FCC (not FAA) has a very specific restriction against cell phone use in the air.
If you look at the regs, pretty much all of the places it's referenced, you can see this exception to any restrictions:..... (5) Any other portable electronic device that the operator of the aircraft has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used.....
It's commonly perceived as an FAA restriction since the public only sees "faa people" i.e. flight crew - enforcing it, but the underlying restriction is done by the FCC.
Where it really sucks is that currently, even though it's perfectly safe, I can't use my cell phone in my own aircraft. That is on it's way to being changed, but unfortunately, what is likely to happen is that the big-money telecoms will get the rule changes worded in such a way as to only allow commercially provided aviation cell phone services, instead of a generic change.
There is no FAA restriction on the use of any electronics in flight. It is totally up to the pilot/flight crew. A pilot flying a private 747 owned by a sports team for example can freely allow use of any electronics at any time.
There are specific restrictions imposed by the FCC depending on the band in use, such as cell phones, and that is on it's way out.
Unless the FCC has applied restrictions to the band - you can freely use whatever you want subject to the requirements of the flight crew.
Now, that's not to say any pilot is going to approve - in the world of lawyers, it's far easier to say no than to take any risk, even if it's practically nonexistent. Think about it - the first accident that occurs after a pilot allows it - it's going to get blamed, even it it has nothing to do with the real reason for the event.
No. Graffiti works just fine on the treos. It just doesn't have the input area. If you want to enable graffiti, just install the GraffitiAnywhere package (free). It enables graffiti on the full screen area, and also works on older palm models.

Nice idea, but poor implementation, they have had a tendency to easily come loose on several servers we have.
This isn't necessarily true... In fact there was an article and discussion in Bruce Schneier's cryptogram newsletter discussing this and some varied responses recently about the differences between a single expensive safe and lots of inexpensive ones... The results are not always intuitive.
I'm paying $90/mo for 512 Kbps up / 512 Kbps down. The speed is generally quite solid. I believe the normal consumer packages are cheaper, but I wanted the decent upload speed. I believe $90/mo will get you 1.5Mbps/128Kbps. Sprint offers DSL in the area, but good luck finding out what the speed is.
Uh, yes. The did consider exactly that possibility. They just did it decades ago, when the largest planes were significantly smaller than they are now. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the towers were designed to handle being crashed into by planes as large as a 727.
Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to work performed by government contractors, which is how a lot of the real engineering and development work gets done.
The libraries apparently are still able to turn off the filters when asked to, but is there anything that says they "must" turn off the filters when asked?
If not, I predict that the filters in most libraries will not get turned off unless someone asks very loudly, and that's not likely to ever happen. This is likely to happen if for no other reason than lack of librarian time to deal with constantly turning them on/off.
Similar thing here - Walmart pharmacy gave my infant daughter "ear allergen drops" instead of an albuterol. Both were in labelled boxes on the shelf near each other.
Not only did they get the wrong box, but they put the prescription label for albuterol OVER TOP of the labelling on the box that said ear allergen drops.
It performs a very similar function to Razor, but is a lot more open. You can run your own servers and participate in the global database, or run your own database independently.
Identd is useless for trusting an outside host, however, it is exactly what you need when someone outside complains about something one of your hosts is doing. Or you are trying to track down a trouble user locally.
Identd is perfectly usable and mostly trustable when on hosts that you have control over.
Now, probably should run it in DES encrypted mode, but most sites do not.
As for why IRC does it? Who knows, doesn't seem to accomplish anything much to me.
Right, but it's factoring. It's not like symmetric keys where you have to check every key, so it is a doubling in total keys, but you don't have to check all of them.
Actually, I guess that's not entirely true... it's not really a brute force keyspace, so you'd get more than 1 bit for the doubling in cpu, but you wouldn't get double the bits.
No. for $2B it would work on a 1025 bit key. (Give or take, presuming there isn't any funky parallelism that yields more than a doubling in performance for a doubling in dollars.)
I am in a cube in a machine room with old raised flooring and IBM mainframe era air handlers, along with about 50 feet of rack systems. It's very noisy, but having my own cubicle with a door I can close, is FAR preferable to sharing an office.
A few years ago they published the MAL server source that you could use to set up your own site that the avantgo browser could sync to. Unfortunately, they yanked it after a while and went completely closed with it.
Should be possible to reverse engineer the server protocol/formats/etc. from the SyncMAL tools, but sure would be easier if source were still available.
Granted, this is a bit out of the price range most people are willing to pay, and are overkill if you just want headphones, but the Lightspeed 25K ANR aviation headset is fantastic.
I tried it once in my cubicle (inside a large IBM mainframe style machine room with a couple of rackfulls of machines and 4 large air conditioners) and it almost completely silenced the ambient noise.
Keep in mind, these headsets are around 20-28dD passive, plus another 23-30 dB active noice cancellation, but they are designed around the frequencies put out by 4 cylinder piston airplane engines at around 2400 RPM.
I believe Bose X headsets are similar. I don't know if their non-aviation headsets are anywhere near as good those.
Running two instances of X is not a problem. I do it regularly to run certain apps under wine, and for dvd playback to TV. What you can't do is output from more than one simultaneously, or at least I have not seen any way to do it.
If you do that, you will generate a email message for every recipient instead of sending a single smtp connection to your mail server with a big batch of recipients. It will have a significantly negative impact on performance.
Now, if you wanted to do that on the monthly reminder email, that would be pretty reasonable.

What is GNU Zebra?
GNU Zebra is free software (distributed under GNU Generic Public License) that manages TCP/IP based routing protocols. It supports BGP-4 protocol as described in RFC1771 (A Border Gateway Protocol 4) as well as RIPv1, RIPv2 and OSPFv2. Unlike traditional, Gated based, monolithic architectures and even the so-called "new modular architectures" that remove the burden of processing routing functions from the cpu and utilize special ASIC chips instead, Zebra software offers true modularity.
Zebra is unique in its design in that it has a process for each protocol. Zebra uses multithread technology under multithread supported UNIX kernels. However it can be run under non-multithread supported UNIX kernels. Thus Zebra provides flexibility and reliability.
Each module can be upgraded independently of the others, allowing for quick upgrades as well as protection from the case of a failure in one protocol affecting the entire system.
Zebra is intended to be used as a Route Server and a Route Reflector. Zebra is not a toolkit, it provides full routing power under a new architecture.

As stated in many other posts, there's no reason to retain checkout data beyond the return of the book.
However, I believe there even maintaining it at all can be eliminated.
It's real simple:
Two cards/records - one for the book, stating it was checked out on MM/DD/YYYY and that it is valued at $X.00.
Second record - per patron, record the fact that on MM/DD/YYYY, the user checked out a book valued at $X.00.
The _ONLY_ shortcoming, when sending out 'overdue' notices, you lose the ability to list what specific book was checked out.
When a book is returned, credit the account of the person returning it, and note the return on the book itself.
Right, but it's factoring. It's not like symmetric keys where you have to check every key, so it is a doubling in total keys, but you don't have to check all of them.
Actually, I guess that's not entirely true... it's not really a brute force keyspace, so you'd get more than 1 bit for the doubling in cpu, but you wouldn't get double the bits.

Wouldn't running IIS behind a Squid or other linux based proxy server yield the same results with netcraft?

BTW, The 25K's typically go for around $450-$500.
Seems to me that the problem is that X on linux is very much tied to a vty. If you could get X to run independent of a VTY, then it would work.
i.e. linux can only have one vty active at a time - so only one X/TTY/SVGA output at a time.
Running two instances of X is not a problem. I do it regularly to run certain apps under wine, and for dvd playback to TV. What you can't do is output from more than one simultaneously, or at least I have not seen any way to do it.
