The definition relies on the mutual understanding of all parties. If you all agree that showing up in your underwear. hung over and smelling like a urinal is acceptable, then as long as you deliver, you have met your obligation. Punctuality

The beauty of it, as far as the FAA goes, lies in the fact the public is not involved in the safety standards. There is plenty of window dressing in what the travel industry does. A large part of it is because people want to see something b

FWIW. I never met someone, who worked for the FAA, who couldn't end my career because they were having a bad day. Pilots feel about FAA officials the way they feel about doctors. That said, the FAA is the best and safest organization in the

There is no supporting evidence. That is part of the problem. The FAA has enough on their hands trying to get the air traffic control system into the latter half of the twentieth century, without trying to test for every stray signal and ho

GPS approaches are allowed, FWIW. I'm also not sure the localiser signal was involved since I don't think the crew would have gone to the back to get the passenger to mess around with the DVD during an approach.

I flew for the airlines. The problem is not your everyday takeoff and landing. The problem arises when the weather deteriorates to near zero visibility and the crew is relying on instrumentation to find that strip of pavement, at 130 knots.

When you're in your twenties, you could eat styrofoam and still function appropriately. I like to believe I can still do what I used to do in my twenties...just can't do it as often. A twenty minute nap in the middle of the day is hugely be

It all depends on what your plan for the money is and when you might need it. Don't play with your living expenses. Don't play with your beer money. Assume that what you play with will lose value-that is not what you are striving for but if

I'm not sure that is correct. The fear of inflation is there but the latest figures I am aware of put the inflation rate at below 1.0% (If you never need to buy food or fuel). Some even worry about the prospect of deflation.

Thank you. I guess it all comes down to a looping sequence. Iterate through the pain as it were.

Wow. Great essay. Thanks. Too late about the C++ Java thing though...

Thank you kindly.

I'm nothing if not bull headed. Thank you.

Thank you. Helps indeed. The breakdown is what I have been looking for. Part of my problem is I was so shell shocked from losing my job, I felt I had to know all the languages and all their frameworks in order to have a chance in the market

Great link. Thanks.

C++ and Java is where I started, because I didn't know any better. I then pursued C++ because it is what they use in the master's program to which I was accepted. Thanks for the links. I would love to learn what is involved in graphics prog

Too late. Already went through data structures in C++. It's what I am most comfortable with right now, which is not saying much. I don't understand what actually happens at the kernel level but the language makes sense to me for some reason

Very kind. Thank you.

I now have a goal. Thank you. ...Now what?

It is a personal record. Very much on the honor system. It is used during interviews as a culling criterion. Must meet certain minimum hours and so on. Would you care to help me build an app as j* suggests?

I have an account but just have no idea what I am doing. I am taking a Linux class right now to try and figure it all out.

by mipnix 16y ago
I am doing just that. The learning curve is steep-I am so far behind. I am not discouraged though, just hungry to learn. Thanks.

I love it when a plan comes together. Thank you.

Thanks. The comments have been insightful. I guess I don't know what I don't know. I can find out how to work through relatively simple tasks by research but my common core of experience is so out of line with what most people in the field

I am teaching myself LAMP and just spent the weekend trying to figure out how to install all the android packages on my Linux laptop. You are right about the iterations. Thanks.

Right now my portfolio is tied up in food and shelter. Apple, while a fine product, is out of my reach. I watch all the Stanford videos and MIT OCW. I will check out the Mac community. Thank you.

Done. Thanks. Didn't realize the email in my profile wasn't public.

Thank you. The logbook idea is brilliant. That was the most annoying thing about flying. Brilliant.
