Where am I going to get college football without having to go to some dodgy site that want me to download some software first?

Planes have been landing for years with zero visibility with automated landing systems.

No reason why a windshield or dash mount cant be required for using the phone as a gps.

How is it recovered after a mission?

But how's the turndown service?

Wifi enabled SD cards in cameras are available to solve that problem. They can still use their phone to upload the picture.

BS - do you just make this crap up?

If you hire an asshole to handle your security you will end up with your taste buds in the loop.

Totally stupid. Search results should be based on relevence and not popularity. With today's mobilization of large groups of voters the results are going to totally gamed by those who have networks.

I gotta get back to ya later Mom - I'm kinda engaged right now.

APL and PL1 too dammit!!!

All of a suddan I crave fried onion rings so the article isn't totally a waste of time.

Your not drifting in the same direction (except maybe when in irons which is different).

When a sailboat is set in a heave to position, she slows down considerably and keeps moving forward at about 1 to 2 kts, but with a significant amount of drift.

There still are currents that will leave you treading water waving goodbye to your boat.

Plus you have to lock your wheel or tiller which means a wind shift will screw you up big time.

That comment wasn't aimed just at you even if you weren't joking

I assume that a lot of non sailors have no knowledge of a sailboat's max speed being limited to a formula using hull length at it's waterline.

Probably many readers have no idea how fast some large ships can move as well.

Anyway most sail boat owners are too broke to afford any decent Internet access at sea :)

Owning a boat is like tearing up $100 bills in a cold shower.
