For flying destinations there's also GTU (Georgetown - north of Austin). Good GA field, despite lots of traffic. It's getting a class D tower Real Soon Now. (There are anti-smash lights on the top of the tower now. The airport website http://www.georgetown.org/departments/airport/ shows July 1...

Or they might want the students to guess which is more NPC - the question or the instructor... :rofl:

This is in the display driver settings - it'll depend on the video hardware that's installed, as well as the video driver, as to whether that will be available and what it can do. Of course, if it has Vista pre-installed, it will probably delete your programs if you change the video settings...

The most memorable part of my solo was how the Tomahawk actually climbed after the instructor got out. The rest of the time was spent watching the other 5 or 6 folks in the pattern - I was too busy to really notice that I was alone. :) But that good airplane - N9087A, which I also flew for my PP...

Anyone out there tried Trivex for corrective lenses (as opposed to the "standard" polycarbonate)? I'm going to be replacing the specs here in a few weeks, and was looking at them today. The demo display at the store made it look like Trivex lenses take all the curves out of the world... But the...

I just flew a DA40 this weekend for the first time. That was a lot of fun! (5'11", no head-bonking) Rolls like a glider with those huge wings, and flies like one too... We had so much time during the engine-out simulation! In spite of that, it moves right along. Next time I have 300k sitting...

I would disagree with this. JD is a clear example of someone that "felt the fear and did it anyway." He's shown that this is something that he values - but his biology is telling him that he's gonna die if he does it. One of the factors that led to discovering how the brain deals with traumatic...

When I was in college, my buddy and I would always schedule the last hour and a half before midterms and finals together. We'd hit the dining hall, get a good meal in us, and then head back to play the Atari 2600 for the rest of the time (mid 90's). Nothing like an hour of Frogger to get you...

Sorry - yes. In trying not to drown Skip in my vitriol about the case, I didn't make clear that the extortion and the merger were two separate things (or was it mergers? I lost track). Seems most folks that I know fall into two categories - those that read Groklaw - and those that threaten me if...

I have good experiences with 1 and 1 (www.1and1.com) - about $10/month for multiple domains, lots of webspace, and lots of email (room to grow). If you create an account, then put your domain name in their search tool, it will let you know that the domain is registered, and gives you a link "I...

I think the trick is to take a paycut and leave before you feel like you're trapped... I worked for a company for over a year that was using the project that they gave me to run as a cash cow to keep the company afloat until they could sell it. I knew it was a bad situation within a couple...
