What the hell airline has you flying as at least an FO with both Boeing and Airbus type certs with only 3,000 hours? It takes 1,500 hours to get an ATP alone, let alone with certs on multiple turbofan birds.
I would say I want to avoid it, but it sounds like "Virtual Fantasy Airlines".
Protips:
MSFS X is not an actual plane that you are flying.
The A330 that flies with propellers is a product only of Howard Hughes grandchildren's wildest imagination.
"near vertical dive"? No. Just because it feels that way to you as a passenger, don't make it so. A descent that exceeded 20 degrees would result in reports being filed with the FAA, at the least.
It is much more than a fancy phone or even a blackberry. You are not really comparing apples to apples. (sorry). Yes it is a gadget and no it is not necessary, but no phone is really necessary. Some people want to have one device they can use for phone, email, scheduling, music, games and whatever the other thousands of apps do.
Holy crap. I don't know what's worse, the blatant iWorship, or the +1 Informative moderations.
No, it's really NOT much more than a fancy phone or even a blackberry.
That'd be fighting fair. If I recall correctly, TW figured the best way to fight that was to go to the state government and get them to force the city to close the ISP down.
Sigh. They're not moving to SD to replace CF - they're moving so you can write a JPG to an SD, pull it while you continue to shoot in CF, and have someone else review it while the CF is recording RAWs.
What are you on about? Digital backs don't use SD cards. Canon's 1 and 5 series offer SD cards concurrently with CF, primarily for the ability to write a RAW to the CF, and JPG to the SD for quick preview by an assistant, etc.
CF is not on the way out for any pro gear that I've read about in the last year, unless you're reading something that the rest of us aren't.
Can you imagine the "I'm a Mac" ads that would have come out if this had been a problem in Windows since 98 and was only now being fixed with Windows 7?
Sortable search results
Wow. Novel. "Think different" indeed: "You want to search for something, so you obviously don't want to sort the results, right, you'll just keep refining ad infinitum til you get there".
I brought a N95 to AT&T and didn't need to do any IMEI registration - though perhaps as a new customer they picked it up on first registration with the network. IMEI is broadcast regularly with most GSM-level network activity.
Sucks to be an iPhone user. My phone will happily tether to my laptop via USB or BT, at 3G speeds, through AT&T. Hell, it'll even function as an infrastructure mode Wifi hotspot if I so choose and happily NAT multiple connections.
Under the terms of the App Store program, they can offer or retract an App at will. They're under no obligation to provide an app, or even give a logical reason for withdrawing it. No question it's bad business to not give a reason, but there's no legal issue there.
And under MS's OEM terms, they could do similar things. And yet those onerous terms were challenged, and some found to be valid, while many were found to be invalid.
There is a corollary to that, it's true. In college (which I started a week before my 16th), there was zero stigma to my age. Everyone was new, on a level footing, I mean, I never 'fit in', per se... I had my group of friends, and would wholeheartedly agree that ye gods, were there some wastes of space at high school... but there is some formative processes that happen there (including learning that a lot of it is not important in the vast scheme of things) that lay a groundwork for more sophisticated social development later.
I have attended ELAC and I could tell you that those courses are quite challenging and there's a LOT covered in each one of them.
Because, of course, if it were a circle jerk of bored out of their mind valley girls waiting til they can hit the mall, etc, et al, you'd be here clarifying that instead, right? You'd never miss a chance to undermine your educational choices if you thought they were in any way sub-par, right?;)
Math ain't hard, if your mind just gels with it. Took me forever to learn music (forgive the Good Will Hunting comparison), but I was doing algebra at age 8. Different people get different concepts.
I can tell you that I hated high school. I loved it when I was offered, and took the opportunity, to skip two years (I did one term in 9th grade, and finished the year in the 11th, going on into the 12th, somewhat akin to finishing your freshman year as a junior).
I hated school. I loved the chance to finish it early.
But once I got past all that, I realized that I'd lost a huge part of social development. To everyone in my former year level, I was 'the nerd who got promoted', and to the people in my new year level, I was 'that kid'.
Sure, he's a smart kid, a very smart kid. But there is more to it than that.
I was programming grading and other applications on my elementary school's Apple 2e when I was 10... there's just more to school than learning. And more options within school. Although, admittedly, you might need to look further afield than just the local options.
Yawn. As many have commented, "lowest reported rape levels" != "lowest rate". There is a huge social stigma in Japan to being a rape victim, prosecution is quite difficult, and consent is an issue still tinged with "Your Honor, she went on a date with me, how was I supposed to know that didn't mean she wanted to have sex with me" style defenses, for those few that go to court.
Think with the above, there may be a reticence to report your rape?
LMAO, on what grounds would it be illegal to sell Microsoft products in the US? Would the US be like the Mafia, once you're in, you can never leave? Did you actually think about this reply?
And in typical poser hipster style, they're only paying "about half the cost" of their guests travelling with them. "So, ummm, to attend our wedding, you'll have to fly here, and pony up $2,700 per person for the flight".
Wow.
Oh, and how sweet of them! WE can help pay too! They've helpfully put a "Donate via Paypal!" link on their website.
Uhhh, no.
Tell me why I would donate so some posers can have their wedding in the vomit comet?
I've never understood this one... seems most of the fanboys have this belief that somehow, when Apple finally deigns to allow a BD drive or similar onto the Mac platform, that The Steve will somehow get an exemption from DRM for all of his loyal followers, and that OS X will have no DRM protection on HD content.
Please, enlighten us as to why a) you think this will be the case, or b) if you don't think this will be the case, all of the issues you've highlighted below will somehow be applicable only to Windows, and not OS X.
Or realize that you're a foaming-at-the mouth zealot.
I was paying one data phone one standard phone for $185 and can get an iPhone service for two phones for $120/month.
Data plan for iPhone: $30, x 2.
Smallest Family Plan: $50 for 550 shared minutes.
Messaging Family pack: $30.
AT&T Fees: $1.25 + 11.3% of bill = no change from $150. Kinda hard to imagine someone forking out for two iPhones, with the minimum possible minutes (4 hours each per month, outside of weekends/evenings), and no messaging... But even then you're still over $120...

No. You can lessen the window with RAIDZ2, but you don't eliminate it.

I love how Apple gets applause for an AT&T network feature ... one that some of us are already enjoying with phones that support 7.2mbps+ HSDPA...

Ye gods.
Nope - libraries pay either a larger amount for a book, or pay fees based on circulation. Authors and publishers get their cut.
