I've flown a Citabria. It's designed for aerobatics (the name is "airbatic" spelled backwards, even) and, at least in the plane I flew, the "seat" is actually a sling that holds your parachute. There was no way to sit in the thing unless you were wearing one.
Of course, it may be possible to buy a version of the airplane with normal seats--epecially if you're a billionaire, as Fossett was--but I never saw one myself.
It's not reasonable but Apple didn't have much choice in the matter. AT&T wants to be able to charge their users extra for the privilege of tethering so they've written that into their agreement with Apple.
Actually, the SDK is a free download--I have a copy on my computer just because I wanted to see what it looked like. The $99 is to register as a developer with Apple.
Note my nickname. I'm the one who submitted the article and I do not read either Digg or Reddit. I saw an article in my local paper, thought it might be something that Slashdot readers would like and wrote up a summary with links to the BBC Web site and YouTube. All copy-and-paste stuff was in quotes.
I don't know how it applies but it's a lame bit of legislation
Umm, check that article out again, my friend. You've just called the U.S. Constitution (one of the most significant legal documents since the Magna Carta) "a lame bit of legislation."
Reasonably lucrative, no major time commitment, can be done at home or a hotel room.
Seriously--there are not many legal options that meet your requirements.
I'd suggest you take a little trip down to the "bad" part of your town and start talking to the guys you see standing around on the street corners. I'm sure one of them would be more than happy to help you set up a franchise of your own.
Yessir, never let your ignorance get in the way of a good USA bashing. If you'd taken the time to read up on Wallace (by clicking on the convenient link provided in the summary) you would have found out that he was exactly the opposite of what you surmised from your misreading of a satirical troll.
Oh, there's a way.... it's just out of the reach of most of us.
Not really. Pick up a copy of the ARRL Radio Amateur's Handbook some time. There's an entire chapter devoted to do-it-yourself radio direction finding rigs, some of them pretty sophisticated, with phased-array antennas and the like. I never got my ham ticket but I keep the book around because it's an invaluable general analog electronics reference source.
Those 18 wheelers are pretty efficient for what they do.
I could coax 7 MPG (U.S. gallons) out of the ones I drove while hauling 40,000 lbs (18,144 kg). Not too bad when you consider that some big pickup trucks only get 12 MPG.
That happens on my laptop, but it doesn't on my iPhone, which has a rigid glass screen that protects the LCD part from fingertip pressure. Unfortunately, not from fingerprints or smudges, though.
The real place to put them would be the underused corner of someone's back yard.
There's a problem with that, too--access for maintenance.
I once worked as a cable guy and I used to hate backyard easements because even though I had the legal right to go onto the property to climb a utility pole, I never knew what I was going to encounter when I did. I had several run-ins with large dogs with a strong sense of territory as well as with property owners who didn't answer when I knocked on their doors but who later came out with various sorts of weaponry to inquire what I was doing in their backyard.

I'm willing to volunteer for this study.
Heard a report on NPR at about 16:00 PDT that they'd found body parts in the aircraft.
Vne on a 172 is 163 knots (187 mph, 302 km/h). You still have a valid point, though.
"Uncontrolled flight into the ground." Seriously, that's an official FAA term.

Horse shit. Evolution is a provable scientific theory. Show me one other religion that meets that standard, please.
From the summary:
It's only a hot topic here in the United States. In the rest of the civilized world, ID is dismissed as the nonsense it is.
Can't say--I don't know what agreements Apple has with other mobile carriers.

If I were in the municipal government there, I'd be happy if anyone wanted to link to the city Web site.
+3 Insightful?
I was going for funny...

How do you know that? The only people who can say for certain that that is the case are dead people--and they ain't talkin'.
And then there's the problem of splinters...
Um... At least that's what I've heard...
I've referred to NAFTA as "The Sin of O.N.A.N." ever since reading Infinite Jest.
I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

No, it says more about a moderator being to much of a wimp to rate a comment down while subjecting his/her decision to meta-moderation.
It would also make them easy targets for any predator smart enough to to stalk them from out of the sun. Which would be most predators, I think.

I don't miss that job much...
