Given that I used to write air traffic control software, you might want to get a book of mellow meditations instead. :)

Irony called, she wants you to stop clubbing people to death with her body.

I recommend this book[^] for light reading while travelling. It's a little dated, but a classic nonetheless.

"A Journey of a Thousand Rest Stops Begins with a Single Movement"

Probably that's what he wants.

In the past, one of my flight got canceled because their team tried to upgrade navigation s/w and screwed up big time. This resulted in delay of 8-10 hour to reach my destination :)

[nativebyte]

I hope you haven't written the s/w for my destination airport and airline :laugh:

[nativebyte]

Well I have seen couple of episodes of past http://natgeotv.com/uk/air-crash-investigation[^] series.

[nativebyte]

Well in that case I could read Visual Basic. :)

Thanks Rama :rose:

Opacity, the new Transparency.

[Robert Surtees]

Did you keep it next to your copy of Abbie's book[^]?

[RichardM1]

No. I was not into it as a political statement, I just wanted to know how to blow stuff up. :-D

Opacity, the new Transparency.
