You don't have to do that if the bad guys set it up right.

Arm waving nonsense.

And, why was it you were banned from the Leica forums?

He probably claimed his Instamatic 110 was just like the Leicas, and
demanded to know "Exactly how are they different"

Wrong again.

Most pilots usehttp://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.htmlto get TFRs and
DUATS or similar for NOTAMS.

Why would the FAA maintain a site for pilots if pilots didn't visit it? *Why
would it make it a secure site?

I know of a reason that it's a secure sight and would be willing to
bet you can't come up with what it is. But then again, I know the
NAIMES Program Manager, so it's not fair is it?

Then again, real life is a challenge. Care to play this game? Here's a
chance to show the world how much more awesomer all that 'careful
thinking' is compared to, umm, knowledge.

No, it just isn't in the browser database.

Yes, the certificate is self-signed.

He obviously doesn't understand the term 'self-signed'.

It's like have the perfect set-up/straight man, only a point/click
away

So, you think that a FAA site is going to steal your identity, put

No, but a bogus site might. *And if it's not a SSL connection, impersonation
is easy.

Babbling nonsense.

Whether or not he deserves it, it's just not clear to me what use he
would have for Viagra

So you don't let gamers into your simulated treehouse?

Gamers are a very different breed. *I have almost nothing in common with
them.
They closely match the stereotype of the angry young male, which is very
far
from my own personality.

Self-inflation.

Simmers are a very different breed. I have almost nothing in common with
them.

This is not a simmer group. Please take your simmer discussion to a
group where it is on-topic

Don't forget they had a treehouse too.

I wonder if he was a fat little kid who couldn't climb the ladder. He seems
to really dispise treehouses.

You won't convince me of that.

That is not my objective, and of course there is a lot of individual
variation.

You miss out on nearly all the sensations of flying.

Not everyone flies for sensations. Flying commercial airliners provides
little in the way of sensations, and yet many pilots of such aircraft seem
to
enjoy it, just the same.

When I go out to the Aeronca I smell the fresh grass from the runway,
I hear the birds. When I get in the plane I smell the wonderful aroma
of avgas and oil. I feel the wooden prop on my hands as I give the
engine its breath of life. I feel the sensation of bounced down the
grass runway and I feel the G load as I make a quick left turn to
avoid the nearby class D airspace. I see the mountains 200 miles
away on a clear and and see the snow caps on them. I hear the 65 hp.
Cont purring away.

Almost none of this appeals to me, and the parts that do are mostly
simulated.

I honestly would not have the patience to sit in from of a computer
but I love smelling the flowers as I make a low pass over the fields.
That is what flying is about to me.

I agree, if that's what flying is about, you wouldn't enjoy a simulator.
You
wouldn't enjoy the flight deck of a 747, either.

A lot of private pilots seem to like this sensation stuff, but there are
many
sorts of pilots and they don't all get the same types of satisfaction out
of
flying.

The sensations ramain intack in heavy aircraft. Regettably, however, there
are still only two seats with an acceptable view--and even the best
simulations, although far better than the first reease of MS Flight Sim, are
still only adiquate for procedures training. That, of course, is a worthy
purpose is there is no reason that it should ever be a substitute for either
the enjoyment or the utility of flight.
