Thanks for the video. I did my PPL in the UK so coming to America was a bit of a radio culture shock. I think "looking for traffic" and "traffic in sight" are the ICAO phraseology, and will work everywhere. Flying to France, you might confuse a French controller by saying "tally ho".

Having thought about it some more, the statement about "roger" not being allowed was probably missing some context. He probably meant it in the context of an ATC instruction that requires reading back.

It isn't ICAO phraseology, it's a military term.

Maybe they have "roger" confused with "copy", which is widely used but incorrect.

I think that's referring revenue from printing and selling your own copies of the completed violin, rather than from musical performance.

Device makers care more about capacity when thinking about which storage to use. Other things they consider include: power consumption, latency, bandwidth. It's likely that higher capacity flash isn't quite there yet.

So cool (though it includes Plymouth City Airport, which is sadly closed)

You're thinking of Lyft. Uber has always been a professional cab or limo service.

You're woefully misinformed about exactly how generous benefits in the UK are. People who do manage to live off benefits here can't expect a quality of life that even begins to approach comfortable.

You shouldn't let some opportunistic reality TV show be the basis for your world views.

Funny that the advert features London, where the continuous rain would wash away this paint in minutes.

That's a pretty common style in C++. If he were a Ruby programmer and did that, then I'd be less happy.

The Stuka had a slightly less sophisticated version of this in 1935:

> Mathias Rust had flown a rented Cessna, an airplane about the size of a Piper Cub, from Helsinki to Moscow and landed it a hundred yards from Red Square

Are there people that know how big a Cub is, but don't know how big a Cessna is?

Language isn't as important as you'd think. I've made friends with a Russian guy playing Counter-Strike, and neither of us speak each other's language. We've had a lot of fun insulting each other using Google Translate, and we just enjoy playing with each other.

Is the food actually healthy though? I've heard bad things about the street food there [1], but I've never been.

You'd also need some retrograde thrust on the payload, and for your orbit to be inclined over the target.

> Event view is pretty cumbersome for managing things, as it shows only 20 events at a time.

Here's a secret URL for you: https://manage.stripe.com/events?count=100 :)

Not being a grammar Nazi, but just pointing out a minor error to help with your English: if the sentence ends in "like", then you should use "what":

Can someone post a screenshot of what it looks like?

Yes. With many two-factor authenticator applications, your codes won't work if your clock is wrong.

It's in cents, so she'll only get $30. But it all adds up :)

The iPhone is an iOS device.

...if you can get your coins onto MtGox.

They should get BitInstant added to the HSTS list. It'll prevent attacks like this.

> b) Why didn't we build Stripe ourselves.

In a way, we did. There are a couple of UK developers at Stripe -- and we want more: https://stripe.com/jobs.

I'm in Cardiff, and I'd attend a Bristol meetup.

> When we asked how old Un had turned (29? 30?), we were told that "Koreans keep track of age differently" than we do. Alright, then.

They weren't lying: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_age_reckoning#Korean

The block only applies to PAYG packages (at least on Three). When I switched to a monthly contract the censorship went away.

You don't intuitively measure your weight in stone?

It was mainly clips of Steve Jobs having fun. Maybe there wasn't a suitable clip from the iPad launch.
