    the Wright Brothers found that out quickly.

    I must say I flew a box kites when I was little but they were boring.

    Wow! For the last decade my Linux servers have never had any upgrade that was longer than 15 minutes. That's with a monthly upgrade cycle. I reboot every year or so. Occasionally fixing config changes which have occurred during the upgrade have taken some time (e.g. Apache 1.3 to 2.4).

    Why does rheumatism medication come in the smallest, most fiddly and complex, childproof lidded container?
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    To be sure you know you need it?

    And that my friend, is why you would never see stripes painted on the Flight Deck of an Aircraft Carrier.






    Well, it might.
