    You do. There are conventions but as long as you define what you are doing it is fine.

    Al Queda Found WMD's!

    Yep https://www.cia.gov/library/reports/general-reports-1/iraq_wmd_2004/chap5_annxB.html Those who do not know history or recklessly disregard facts and history are doomed to live in delusion.

    Harley announces an electric motorcycle

    Given the demographic of HD owners I imagine the real thing will look like this:

    How many work from home?

    That is good! In the early 2000's I had a boss that thought if you were not in the office you were not working. Scary thought in a technology research organization where your main product is wireless data delivery. He even made us come in for late night conference calls. It was a happy day...

    How many work from home?

    I am not sure of your type of work so I cannot comment on what works or does not work for you. But let me just say that this isn't the 1980s anymore. Phone and video conferencing is old technology. The collaborative tools for online group work have change a lot. We often use voice...

    How many work from home?

    I work from home and have done so full time for a little over three years. I also travel a lot. About 4 months out of the year. So I actually do a lot of networking. I also stop by the main office a few times a year. About half of my work group is spread across the US. My main colleagues are...

    Pi(z*z)a.

    Seriously. If you have a pizza with radius "z" and thickness "a", its volume is Pi(z*z)a.

    It'll be out of the hangar. I got nudged off of the pot

    Mike and I are so close to Wisconsin that we can smell their dairy-air. :D

    What is Cancer?

    And if we don't know, we should just say that and not substitute some purpose. Doing so means that we are pretending to know. BTW for Steinger or other biologist here. Do the loss of telomeres in the DNA from repeated replications result in higher chances for a cancer to appear?

    New weather radar app designed for small aircraft

    GEEK ALERT: Amplifiers have already been invented. What you mean is to design a 30kW (note the lower case k for kilo, the capital K means Kelvin) cellphone booster. Even so, amplifying the uplink would do nothing to help your coverage as it is a downlink issue. You need more power from the base...

    It'll be out of the hangar. I got nudged off of the pot

    Out where Mike and I are there are open hangars. 10C, 3CK also have open space. Both of them have also been letting empty hangars be used for storage of non-airplane things. Not a problem at 10C, at 3CK if anyone complains there could be an issue as they have accepted federal and state airport...

    A question for the European Contingent...

    That was last month. I clearly stated last week and that there had to be anything related to the latest labor unrest. But if you are worried about the planes and ATC. Going GA is not going to help. ATC is sort of in control of ALL air traffic in Europe. Hard to do a lot of useful VFR XCs there...

    A question for the European Contingent...

    Sorry, the last time I rented an airplane in Europe it was the 1980s and it was the UK. FWIW The trains typically are pretty past. But the French started some labor strikes last week. SNCF workers are protesting major cutbacks on their pensions. Work slowdowns started last week as well as...

    What the Heck is with Garmin

    Working for a company whose HQ is only a couple of miles away from Garmin I have met a lot of former Garmin employees. IMHO the biggest problem with Garmin is that they are cheap bastards who are not interested in being the best. Only interested in being the biggest and most profitable.
