Christ they haven't KILLED ANYONE. Three years in a Federal "POUND-ME-IN-THE-ASS" prison. Does that sound pretty messed up to anyone else? The criminal justice system makes less and less sense as the years go by.

There isn't any danger. The airlines/FAA just want you to pay attention to the attendent or pilot's instructions during takeoff/landing if there's a problem.
If a pilot bases his entire flight on what he sees out a webcam, he deserves to get in trouble. A pilot has Flight Service Stations enroute, automated weather service, etc, etc, to pull a legit weather report.
If I recall correctly, weren't these standard issue liscense plates a while back?
Nope they never were. Up until 1982 we had the colbalt blue plates, from 1982 until this year, we had the silver "Bighorn Sheep" plates, and now we have a color ripoff of the Colorado plates.
Perhaps it's because I'm not a raging Star Wars fan. I haven't read any of the Star Wars novels, or anything else about Star Wars. I just watch the movies. I think what's neat though, is when you realize that our kids will be able to watch Star Wars from ep 1 to ep 6 straight through, and watching the story unfold more and more each movie. We've been seeing "spoilers" for what, 25 years? We already know what's gonna happen;)
This product has been reviewed on a few flight sim sites already. Flight Sim 2002 has what's called a "virtual cockpit", letting the user pan allaround his aircraft, and still be able to use the instruments. With this addon, instead of being stuck using the numpad or a hat switch to pan around, they can use their head to look around (within reason, of course).
It makes visual approaches and landings alot simpler when you only have to glance left or right to line up, instead of fumbling for buttons.
Hrm. All valid points. I guess what I should say is I just want ANY sort of decent train-esque transit system. Buses are too slow and suffer the same problems as other automobiles.
As everyone has pointed out, this is strictly a tourist's monorail. It will go from the MGM Grand, to Bally's/Paris, then to the LV Convention Center, then the Sahara, and then a straight shot to downtown. This monorail will not help many, if any of the locals, unless they work at one of the hotels serviced on the route; or like myself, work downtown and are tired of the hour commute from the southern end of town in. I'd LOVE to park my car at the MGM, take the monorail to work, and then run a block to my ISP job. Saves me gas and money.
I believe they had kicked around the idea of extending the southern end to the airport, but that apperently has bitten the dust. That alone would justify a $5 fee to and from IMHO. My friends were stuck for a ride to the Riviera hotel from the airport (I was at work, and unable to help), and they were stuck with a $30 fare from taking a taxi to the hotel.
What the Las Vegas valley needs overall is a good solid light rail system. The extreme south and Northwest ends are exploding in growth, pure suburban sprawl. The Northern end will begin it's own growth in probably a few more years after the BLM turns over a couple thousand acres or so to a private developer (I think Hughes Corp.), for yet another master-planned community.
The light rail would also be a godsend for the east area of town, which has no easy access to either major arterials US-93/95 or I-15. Plans are in the works for some sort of "I-415" that would connect the east side of town, but I'm honestly not holding my breath.
Also, the central areas of the valley are becoming overcrowded, both in traffic and residents. Maryland Parkway is a perfect example. For those who aren't residents, Maryland is one of the major North/South roads in town, staying between 2 and 3 lanes almost it's entire length. Driving along this road takes you past UNLV, a major mall, a hospital, and honestly one of the bigger economic blocks in town. This road is almost always crowded, and is a nightmare at times during rush hour. If even a simple light rail was setup to run the length of Maryland, with turnarounds at either end, I think we'd see a marked decrease in traffic. Couple these with light rail on other major roads, connect them with some transit depots, we may have ourselves a solution!
I believe it was stated once that the transportation infastrucure in the valley is behind the times by about 10 years. It's the horrible, horrible truth, and it's never going to get any better unless NDOT, Clark County, and the 3 major townships (Henderson, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas), get together and work out a massive overhaul plan.
I think like most cellphone users, I don't have a need for all that extra stuff. All these other bells and whistles are just that, bells and whistles...and a more expensive bill. Why can't these companies work on getting me decent local coverage first? I'm sure I might enjoy using the web, or email over my cellphone if I didn't have calls dropping left and right. I'll take a solid, strong signal anywhere I go over the above.
The above is one of many links and documents online about the so called "Indigo Children". These children have above average intelligence, enhanced sensory & ESP-esque tendancies, and what is imho, amazing, immunity to aids and other emerging diseases.
It seems a little weird, I know...but if this all is true, we are seeing an evolution in progress.
Since this century already seems to be the bad-anime-cliche century, I am assuming that sometime around the year of 2015, humanity will go through a forced evoloution planned by an old German man, and involving angels, genetic engineering, nuclear explosions and gigantic biorobots dropping out of 500 foot wide stealth bombers.
Not if I can help it. That old man can plan all he wants, but I'm the one that controls your evolution, not him.

ARGH. Mp3.com did this years ago...I feel sad now.

- Read the book at the library
- Photocopy the pages requires
- Get someone *else* to check the book out for you
- If it's recent enough, order/buy the book at a bookstore, use cash.
Any other suggestions?And the people who still want to do such things will resort to explosives or swords or some such and the circle of death continues unabated blah blah blah
This whole thing makes my brain hurt.
I tried the win32 version, and after getting everything configured, I fire up winamp, choose the plugin...and winamp causes a GPF in kernel32.dll
Oh well, time to sit on their ML and see what ideas they have.
"Cannot Start Transaction While in Firehose Mode"
Robinson R-22
- Fuel Tank Size: 20 gallon main (R-22 Beta has auxiliary tank)
- Cruise Airspeed @ 70% Power: 110MPH (96kts)
- Milage: 8-10 Gallons Per Hour
- Best Total Milage: 250-220
Of course, that might change based on increase/decreased power settings, weather, etc, etc..At $1,599. Not exactly cheap for "Joe Desktop" I'm afraid.
There needs to be support from passengers & airlines that new aircraft need to be built insulated from interference.
Everyone complains, but no one DOES anything about it!
