When my 15 year old GE fridgde/freezer failed, I called GE and 3 days later a uniformed gentleman with a van that says 'GE' on the side came and fixed it. Took maybe an hour with parts he had on the truck. He was nice enough to vacuum and brush the coils in the process, gave me a reasonable bill...

Just for any space-geeks already up this morning. United Launch Alliance / NASA is t-1hr for the launch of the Orion spacecraft flight-test on a Delta IV rocket from Kennedy space center. So tune to your local NASA channel on cable/satellite. The site for the program is here...

What STCs are available for camera ports on the 1-series Cessnas ? Are there any or are the ports that you sometimes see all field approvals ? I have seen Cessnas with the exhaust carried down the side for aerial photography, is this STC'ed by anyone or a one-of on a 337 ? I have seen some...

Yesterday, the new runway 2/20 at Maryland Airport (2W5) just south of DC opened. They have yet to install the lighting, so the runway is closed at night. The lighting guys are pulling wires as we speak, the owner anticipates that they will finish within the next two weeks. 2W5 is a privately...

I have two Windows servers , one 2008 SBS the other one 2003. I have a SQL database on one of them and want to keep a slave copy of that database on the other (for lets say the unlikely case that a 100 year hurricane wipes out the office with the server). I have a second instance of the DB...

Has anyone here flown a Robin DR2160 ? 160hp french 2-seat trainer approved for +6/-3. Not many of them in the US.

Last night, I landed after dark and noticed that the landing light had stopped working. I assume it is the bulb as they are known for a short life. What would be the standard landing light bulb on a 78 model year PA28-161 ? Is there some replacement with a slightly longer life expectancy ? Is...

I have a tower server that is located in our main office. Through some changes in what we are doing, I need to access this server remotely more often than locally. At this point, I am starting to run into limitations related to the cable-modem based internet connections we are using. I am...

I have my home-office in a basement guestroom. This is also the room with the central electrical panel and where the cable-TV and satellite wiring come together. The cable modem that I use for primary internet access is located in that room and hardwired to it a firewall that I use to create a...

I need to give a new employee remote access into my windows based office network. I mostly use windows remote desktop to run the applications directly on the terminal server. Now, the new staffer has an apple i-mac and an i-pad. What applications are available to run RDT on those apple products ?

I have a Telex S50 headset, the earcup is torn, the mike boom is flopping around and the grommet where the wiring comes in has fallen out so it is only a question of time until the wiring cracks. Anyone knows of a independent shop that refurbishes these ? I imagine I could send it to the...
