He didn't realise the historic importance of the event, and so didn't bother to have any photographs taken of his machine flying, though [as mentioned above], there is extensive evidence from witnesses describing his flights.
So with no evidence and 100 year old witness testimony we are expected to believe this?

It doesn't have views, it distorts what a database actually is and it fails on the most important learning there is, security.
Access (and it's kin Foxpro) has caused more problems where I work than I can count. Because of the availablity of these "tools" even casual users think they are developers. Then after spending months developing an Access database they find they cannot share it with other users. So they continously bother the IT department with questions such as "how can I share my Access database over the web?"
The query wizard also spits out the worst "SQL" I have ever seen, and I call it SQL lightly. I get questions all the time on, why doesn't my query work. I look at the code and it's 3 pages of outer joins.
It's time to BAN Access and I refuse to support it.
Even if there were a way to limit how much spam you get based on how much mail you send, what gives anyone the right the spam you? Unlike TV/Radio/Etc, spammers are NOT providing you with mail service. In much the same way as telemarketers don't supply the phone system but still hassle you every minute about a lower mortgage.
And btw, this proposed law will do nothing. Take a random sampling of spam you receive and check the IP address. All mine comes from China. Do you ever get the idea that this country is run by D students?
While I do like this concept. This would be really annoying if you were trying to do a cut and paste. You click and drag your mouse down to get a section of text and suddenly jump to the end of the document.
If they would make it right-click only it wouldn't be so aggravating.
Kramer: You think that dentists are so different from me and you? They came to this country just like everybody else, in search of a dream.
Jerry: Kramer, he's just a dentist.
Kramer: Yeah, and you're an anti-dentite.
Jerry: I am not an anti-dentite!
Kramer: You're a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. "Hey, denty!" Next thing you know you're saying they should have their own schools.
Why do people think that sharing ideas is communism? If the federal government controlled Linux, that would be communism. Communism is a form of government. If I lend my neighbor my lawn mower am I being a commie? No, I am being a good neighbor. And I will probably get a favor in return. (Not that I help people only for a reward.)
Medicine and physics seem to work fine in this sharing environment. No one patents an operation. Instead when a doctor learns of a discovery they make money giving lectures about a new procedure.
What you are seeing is not Communism, it is a resource economy. Instead of exchanging goods and services people are giving resources to those who put them to good use. And thus making the fruits of their labor available to everyone. Which is the basics of a resource-based economy.
Ok, I admit it. I have been developing in the loathsome VB/ASP language for years. However I was annoyed from Day One over this SCO suit. I have nothing but contempt for liars and that's what SCO is. You have to be a nitwit to think this means good things for MS developers. Let's see, decreased competition, even more crappy products from Redmond.
Seriously though, property rights in space need to be addressed. Perhaps it should be like homesteading. In order to "claim" the land you have had to make use of it for 10 years.
For now I am considering my own lawsuit against Orbital Development. I am going to sue because Eros isn't handicap accessible.
I don't think the author or anyone else is saying "choose OSS because it's bug free". I believe the point to be made is that Open-source can be inspected by anyone since it's available to the public.
I for one do not trust proprietary software for voting. Government should be transparent and so should the software used to elect those buffoons into office.
And I will go so far to say that not only should the software be OSS. I should be able to download the voting data and run my own analysis of the past election.
We've still gota pay tax to keep kids in school, our roads being repaired etc.
Property taxes keep kids in school. I am currently paying for someone elses kids to go to school. Taxes on gas are where the money comes from to maintain the highways.
In Ohio they are making it so you have to pay the taxes of where a business ships a product to, not where it was purchased. To get around the "tax ban". Which of course is a big headache for businesses which ship to all over Ohio. Where they have to figure out not just one tax, but the tax for the 1 of 88 counties they are shipping it to. Which is going to increase the cost of products.
Read my lips: Taxes = high prices = less spending (consumer and business) = lost jobs = poverty.
All so government officials can reward their "friends" who bought their way into office with large government contracts and subsidies.
And to anyone who says special effects do not matter hasn't seen the BBC series (which I have on DVD.) I feel like I am watching an episode of The Great Space Coaster or Fraggle Rock.
I agree. It's not the optimal way to do it. But for certain bills the service will download the e-bill from the website. Such as DirecTV, Discover, and American Express. So there is no paper involved.
I like that companies are embracing this online payment option, but I am not going to visit a dozen sites every month to pay my bill. Not going to happen.
I do some like this....and love it!

I have been receiving bills like this for around 3 years. Every bill I receive is scanned and I can view them online. It has been a great boon as a consultant as I don't have a pile of [overdue] bills waiting for me when I get home. Plus I can run reports and see exactly when something was paid and how much was spent.
Since it scans the entire bill I am able to view detailed information. Such as, I can view natural gas and electric usuage and see if that new furnace and air conditioning unit are actually paying off one year later (something I did about a month ago.) Sure you can keeps years of paperwork in a box, but that's not searchable.
I receive 100% of my bills in this manner. I will never go back!
A quick google of that code found this. Under a heading of 32VKern. Which states "32V was a port of Seventh Edition UNIX to the new VAX platform, which had been released by DEC in 1979."

SCO's intellectual-property ownership "is extremely powerful," president and CEO Darl McBride said at a media and analyst conference Thursday. "There are two major operating systems in play around the world--Unix and Windows. Microsoft owns Windows, and we own Unix."
The issue of intellectual property in the Internet age has begun to divide the IT industry into two camps--"those trying to destroy intellectual property and those who believe that intellectual property matters," McBride said. "The silent majority is behind SCO, and they're hoping that SCO prevails in the end. It gives other companies the ability to monetize their intellectual property."
Doubt it. That's why you pay them a fee. You are not paying for email or web access. You are paying for Internet access. My DSL provider frequently tests and provides support for non-PC products, such as Xbox and PS2. I see this device as no different.
And I know of no ISP that claim "One computer only." They might give you only one IP but don't stop you from using a router to connect more.

From an article entitled: SCO Rides Unix to Financial Turnaround
McBride quotes from the article:
SCO's intellectual-property ownership "is extremely powerful," president and CEO Darl McBride said at a media and analyst conference Thursday. "There are two major operating systems in play around the world--Unix and Windows. Microsoft owns Windows, and we own Unix."
The issue of intellectual property in the Internet age has begun to divide the IT industry into two camps--"those trying to destroy intellectual property and those who believe that intellectual property matters," McBride said. "The silent majority is behind SCO, and they're hoping that SCO prevails in the end. It gives other companies the ability to monetize their intellectual property."
Ironically this was posted by an AC.
