My instrument instructor in Alaska was 77 years old at the time that I got my rating.  Tom Wardleigh [..] was considered perhaps the best flight instructor in the state of Alaska.  His son had refused to learn to fly, [..] His stated reason for never learning to fly:  "I don't want to do something where the opposite of perfection is death."

Netscape RIP: It has been learned through public and private sources that AOL has cut or will cut the remaining team working on Mozilla in a mass firing and are dismantling what was left of Netscape (they've even pulled the logos off the buildings). Some will remain working on Mozilla during the transition, and will move to other jobs within AOL. 11:55:18 PM      comment []  Bel post? Si No
