so has anyone abandon their XP? I just tried out 8.1 (in simulation), I have tried out 8.0 and 8.1 is much better in terms of the tiles. Right clicking the start gives me access to stuff that was once served by XP Shut down n search easier to find This is what should have been released more than one year ago but because MS decided to use an accounting measure to deploy its software It doesn't realize they're shooting themselves in the foot by not considering what is usable to the user I have been reading around about how win8\tablet supports GPS ... it really doesn't ... and that doesn't make me a buyer Apple too expensive .. so Android is a way to go ... but gosh 7in might be too small for old eyes ... 12in be nice but can be expensive gosh HTC to make Nexus tables ... they might not give Qi Wireless charging ... it sounds like google choosing to rotate support of tech companies other wise they should have stayed w samsung or asus

I've been trying to search what happen to the Asiana 214 pilots? Asiana seems to state that the pilots are being retrained in the movie Flight w denzel washington, the pilot is under suspension pending upon an investigation I don't think there was pilot error in the movie but FUI is a big no no I think there was a problem w the plane and radical flying saved lives even w FUI ... I would consider him a hero even w FUI In Asiana 214, both pilots were new to their experiences, one is landing at a specialty airport, and other is being a flight training supervisor. I think Asian needs to rethink their pilot transitioning program. I think everyone would like a pilot that knows how to fly a 777 like the back of their hand. 43hrs doesn't cut it even if he has 9800hrs of flying experience. I hope their not treating Pilot Error like Reckless Driving overlooking the accident There seems to be a double standard between Domestic n International pilots. It seems to the opinions of some ppl I hear that International Pilots maybe compromising the integrity of safe flying. So will Asiana fire the pilots for pilot error or for losing 100 million dollar airplane? I'd really prefer a pilot that has enough hours to know the 777 like the back of their hand than to have 43hrs not knowing when was the last time he landed a 747 at SF

I remember either a docu or a movie that showed if a town\city is built on the land it would exhaust the water supply and kill the water table within a few years (there is no nearby river or dam to supply water that would supply water) is this water table an aquifer?

I saw similar posts where a younger bro is contacting his older bro and the exchange is missing the point of whats really happening But the ships internet cuts out rendering this brotherly exchange incomplete Had the older bro knew what was really happening then the advise would have been different In the USA this would not happen ie: In alabama a principal used media without realizing the consequences of his actions that led to the suicide of a streaking student. The principal still working and the family doesn't blame the principal. However the public around the country has varying opinions depending what distorted view of the news they received. The tv network cease publishing the story to escape liability for airing the hash opinion of the principal citing legal advice for which he is not an expert in. This korean incident is a harsh example of hierarchy in social respect of elders vs Independent nature and social disrespect that we have in the usa. ie: the breakdown of the ships command to safeguard the teens while the teachers not guiding the students in ship emergency the lack of independent of self preservation if this happen outside the asian community we can guess how many ppl will be running to the life boats n rafts and saving themselves where the crew failed to safe guard. ie: costa concordia

I heard on a doco ... no where in the world can you get fresh clean clear drinking water everything is getting tainted or polluted gosh the snow caps and the aquifers are the last sources of clean water

According to hijacking theory its not that difficult to disable or destroy some navigation electronics Just get thru the trapdoor .... but still I think by know someone would have lock the trap door, too?? Right? The chinese are question why didn't the ELT detach and float n transmit a signal?

can they really raise this ship?

this will cost thousands of dollars, teens may be charged its bad enough in my area a car hit the hydrant and damage a water main causing business in the area that depend on water to shut down for a couple of days ie: star bucks dunkin donuts

---------------------- Korean ship MV Sewol may have hit a rock like the costa concordia but this one is a pure accident 9 are dead n 287 are missing out of 477 The South Korean ship sank below the water in four hours (sounds like the titanic) 300 of them are High School students on a field trip plus 15 teachers the bad thing ... no one used the life boats or rafts or anything the crew ordered the passengers to stay put when the ship hit the object (rocKs) According to google maps ... the ship took a shortcut to make up for the delay rather than its regular route looking at the geology of the area, I would not take a shortcut unless I had sonar and gps following a regularly traveled shortcut route the area looks dangerous and the rough weather they have there would be unwise to travel a dangerous route the open sea is safer ... rather than trying to save 1hr to 1.5hrs It seems that a lesson was not learned. Safety n lifeboat drills not followed as like the costa concordia and Seohae ferry. gosh I remember riding the circle line ferry boat ... very lax safety drill ... but at least I did notice where the life preservers and life boats where. The Captain of the Korean ship and the Costa Concordia didn't go down with their ships No info on Seohae ferry captain. Gosh if you where on a sinking ship would you stay put (stupid orders by the crew) (the same as costa concordia) common sense says abandon ship!!! especially if the captain n crew makes a get away Do you think the myth is busted?

started new topic ....

You think they will re-enact the east meets west with the two trains who's bringing the gold spike?

Another ship may have hit a rock like the costa concordia but this one is a pure accident They two are dead n 284 at least are missing out of 477 The South Korean ship sank below the water in four hours (sounds like the titanic) 325 of them are High School students on a field trip the bad thing ... no life boats :-(

hey this sort of helps the M-F Trans ... not sure if they could really have babies? can they?

isn't rugby the worst n messy??

Its funny there's two different school of gamers ... the jock kind and the geek kind reminds me of meatball movies The question is how many gamers of today would have played the game differently? Without first contact you don't know who this race is? In WW2 some japanese learned who the americans are and ToJo didn't ... the bad lesson of making war yet the Japanese learn the hard way in a small battle w russia and decided to make a non invasion treaty Why couldn't they do the same w USA? It seems that the two syfy writers books agree ... its bug wars ... coexistence w bugs is impossible It means many books to write about conflict and irreconcilable differences In Starship Troopers never explain how they came into conflict w the bugs Since humans ventured into space I suspect humans started the conflict Bugs breed faster so conflicts escalate faster War of the World, V, Aliens, n Falling Skies used reptilians as aliens. Humans have a disadvantage of being too primitive I've not read cards prequel stories to know if humans started the was or not It seems to be common to all stories that these pesky aliens eat up their resources very quickly and expand out like crazy its a 50/50 chance of who will invade who's territory prior to an all out war avatar needs a space war

Are we saying humans are no diff than those bug movies??

Just saw the movie and read the wiki Its terrible that a lot of the novels\short stories got compressed into 114 min perhaps it means asa butterfield won't be doing a sequel unless we wait for him to be 40 since hollywood doesn't follow the story any way ... maybe he'll do a sequel when he's 18-20 this movie like compressing harry potter 7 novels into 114min and potter still looks like he's 10 The movie was nice but it didn't surprise me it reminds me of Starship Troopers w/o the troopers did anyone guess what the bugs represent besides a character in the story?? the issue w bug movies ... is coexistence done with a can of raid? Starship Troopers is battle after battle after battle w bugs was any one amused w hanna montana actor in the movie?
