I have a project that requires generating some graphs from php. What are people using to do this? I found jpgraph.net which looks pretty good but restricts commercial use. OK for this project but if I'm going to invest the time learning I'd like to have it available. I didn't check the price...

It either goes here or in the Joke thread. It made me laugh.

In addition to communicating with the local Air Traffic Control facility, all aircraft in the Persian Gulf AOR are required to give the Iranian Air DefenseRadar (military) a ten minute 'heads up' if they will be transiting Iranianairspace. The following conversation was heard on the VHF...

Seems like I get better answers here than any of the computer oriented sites so here goes. I'm thinking of taking some of the old computer cases and build myself a back up web server or two. Right now I'm using a Dell Poweredge with dual AMD Opteron 2.4 (dual core), 12GB, 1TB disk, running...

I've started doing this on my edit boxes and wonder if you would consider it. The issue is special characters are a pain to enter. On Windows you have to remember the Alt code or you find someplace ot copy/paste from. So how about changing the text above the input text boxes to include the...

We got our prop balanced today and it makes a difference. The prop had been balanced before we bought it, but enough dressing and nicks it was time. The starting value was 0.14 ips and ending was 0.02 ips. My question is what is moving at 0.02 inches per second. My best guess is that it is...

I have a few cross-platform java apps and would like to get a Mac for testing. It needs to be new enough to run Java 1.6.x and at least 1GB preferably 2 of RAM, and hard wired ethernet otherwise pretty much any config will do. Any idea where I could find one of these things and how much I...

I have a friend with a DA40/G1000 and a Cirrus on-line (FBO). I am analyzing the engine data from the Cirrus for him and asked if he could download the engine logs from the DA40. Well he didn't know so I thought I'd ask you. Can all G1000 write engine data to the SD cards or is that an...

I got stumped by a couple of questions today. What is the definition of the Primary Category? I can't find the other one in the FARs but Gleim had a FAR reference that say you couldn't fly if the barometer setting is above a limit I think it is 31.00". I'll email the student and get the...

Here's a good story of a maintenance induced failure. Got my attention. http://www.funplacestofly.com/blog.asp?ID=278 Joe

I have a "stay logged in" check box and allow cookie logins, and logging out forces you to log in again. The question is should it invalidate any other stay logged in cookies? For example you are logged in on 2 different machines or with 2 different browsers, you log out of one should that...

I seem to get more understandable answers and better advice asking weird technical questions here than any other website so here's my latest. I've been using OO PHP (5.x) for a few years and really like it but I'm running into some maintainability issues. Specifically I'm getting a decent...

See them here http://www.flickr.com/photos/nasacommons/4858567480/in/set-72157624523502725 Some are pretty cool.

I was doing the LA Times crossword the other day. There was a 3 letter word with the clue "Airport safety organization". Usually I'm pretty good at the layman aviation terms but this one had me stumped until I got 2 out of the 3 letters. The answer iss TSA. It just did not fit my view of the...

Well I made it to Freedonia and Steve See let us use his hangar. Thanks Steve! On the way there the MFD showed these huge TFRs all over the South, could have been my weird accent on the radio but I doubt it. In the hotel, I got on FliteStar to plan tomorrows trek and Jeppesen shows them too...

As y'all have probably heard the FAA now has free downloads of digitized VFR and IFR charts as well as the long available approach plates and AFD pages. This is pretty cool but I'm not sure how to use them best. The VFR charts (WAC, Sectional, and TAC) come as zip files of geo-referenced TIFF...

I am shocked. Today I had to deal with Time Warner to get business class internet at home. Then I had to call Verizon because the network extenders I ordered didn't have the mail in rebate in the box. I dreaded the upcoming experience. TWC answered on the first ring and after 10 min of...

We have this little (4'x4') pond in the yard. It seems to have been added as an after thought by the previous owner, and my wife made it a bit deeper with unsealed cinder blocks about 20 years ago. It seems to be leaking so we want to patch and seal it. Since PoA is the best site for...

It's getting to be time for a new laptop. Almost everything I do these days is cross platform except for Jeppesen stuff. I'm thinking of a ThinkPad T510 running Win 7 Pro 64. Does anyone have experience running FliteStar, JeppView, JSUM on this platform? To a lesser extent I also get...

Arkansas flash floods kill at least 16 people story here The flood is in Caddo Gap, about 140 SE of Gaston's but I wonder how my friends are doing. Is it wet? Joe
