I live in the boonies & am very tired of people burning rubber here. Burn it in your own back yard!

I've never been anywhere that quiet - can only compare it to my first few times in a dark-room.

While trying to move film from canisters to tanks for processing my eyes got sore. Took a while to realise I was scrunching them shut - trying to keep the dark out?

and if Google apps stop working on Firefox you'll switch to Office365?

One advantage the Martin has is that the blades are enclosed. I'd have better luck getting permission to land a Martin in the carpark than a Mosquito.

30 minutes at max speed of around 60 mph : would probably be enough for me to do a return trip on one tank - if only the damn airport wasn't in the way!
(Not that I have a spare US$150k)

I thought I was old for a Slashdotter!! GDG's still exist & are still excellent.
99/365 expiry doesn't & wasn't :-)

You get to keep a little more privacy than with the NSA version

Just so long as testing takes into account the fact the the end user will probably have a much lower spec machine/screen/connection (& won't have root/admin access). It might work great on a developers machine, but be a steaming dogpile for the intended user!

Google is primarily a search company & you can't do partial-word searches on email - what's up with that?

contradiction in terms?

Hopefully the SCADA systems have a password other than the default

doesn't allow ping!

but round corners can't?

It's not always the software that is the problem - drivers connecting a $100,000 piece of equipment may not be available for current versions of the O/S.
It may net even be possible to get them written if the company no longer trades, or refuses to support older equipment.

$10,000 may well be the pointy end of the problem!
