Did you know that the size of an iPad came from sheep and they were the first aviators? This is a interesting/funny article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/11389922/21-things-you-never-knew-about-sheep.html Go Shaun

I really want one of the new 12inch surface pro 3 tablets from MS but the two big things stopping me is in this day and age mobility is what tablets are all about and who in their right mind would make a fantastic tablet that doesn't have connectivity outside of wifi. The only way you can use this tablet away from wifi is to carry around a dongle with you to connect to the internet when on the go. The other major drawback with it is the way the pen just attaches to the side, i bet you will lose a few of these over time unlike other tablets where the pen inserts into the housing.

I use 8.1 adjusted to win 7 look and feel and have found it a lot better than 7 or 8...very quick, no issues like BSOD and very nice with the 7 start menu and gaphics etc

It is most probable that it is strategic. This will have a huge impact on developers and development not only with the new browser, hopefully they will abide by browser rules this time and not create their own rules, but also that windows 10 being cross platform. I can see that if you have an android phone you can dump android and install windows on it. This will send app developers straight to windows and MS will get loads of income from apps. It will, in my opinion, cause a huge shakeup in the whole IT industry especially against Google and Apple

I would prefer one card, one that has embedded into it: Your drivers license Your credit cards Your industry licenses Your Medicare card Your Flybuys card Your myki card etc etc etc Easy to do with technology now and readers can be set up to just read the portion of the card relevant to what card aspects they need...but then the Wallet manufacturing companies would go broke, cows and pigs wouldn't be needed as much, price of meat would drop, heck...why don't we just all have a chip inserted under the skin with all our info from our cards plus GPS location, pacemaker ability, cochlear capability, etc etc etc...you get the idea, would be good though (Now, where is my wife at the moment.....stuff the wife, WHERE IS MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER RIGHT NOW)

My wife's step father rebuilds Vincents in NZ, in fact a couple he has done are now in Museums so if you don't have any luck, let me know

Enough people, stop trolling and get back to topic

Just found it...it is called Cool Iris, thanks anyway

Years ago I found an application that scrolled through your images with the main image you were viewing in the center and other images in the list were on the left and right but smaller. So as you moved your mouse left or right, the images moved in the same way with them getting bigger and bigger to they got to the center. It was like a wall of images that you moved left or right. I can't remember what it was but I think it came out of an early Mac style of image presentation system and it sort of looked like this: [ATTACH]47515._xfImport[/ATTACH] Can anyone remember what the application was or any application that does the same?

Here's a solution for some lucky person, I am not the entrepreneurial type of person and this site along with Clear Prop "could" make a decent return for the right kind of person so front up with $100k (probably a 2yr 100% return) and you can have the lot, walk in, walk out, domains, Clear Prop shop, aviation stock, software, hosting...everything, and I will take up sailing. Now here's is a great opportunity for RAAus to own the biggest thorn in their side ;) or I am sure there is someone who can do it better because after 11 years, I am just tired

We do have a tongue in cheek Smiley

Nev, that is because you have been on the site for many years before the Likes system was implemented

A Poll has been created for you to cast your vote at: http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/post-likes.127747/

and there lies the problem!

Then are you saying to lose ALL the "Like" alternatives and just leave the one "Like"... if so that would certainly make the database smaller and the site a micro second faster. The software has a single "Like" function built in and the variations of the Likes system is an addon that I purchased which can be removed to just leave a single "Like"

I believe it is the industry we are in. Recreational aviation is cheap enough that allows people from all walks of life to get involved. But you add to that it is very much an alpha male activity compared to needle craft. You also then add the 3rd dimension of keyboard courage hidden behind anonymity. A huge recipe for disaster which is why moderation on the site is so extremely hard and it will always be wrong to a lot of people but we just hope it is right by the majority. The site quit often pulls me down into depression when I open it up and I often wonder why I am doing it with such a large cost to my family and I personally including every month when I click the payment button for the hosting. However, I hang on to the belief that it is helping others and keeping them safer and in fact saving a life or two whilst also helping the industry as a whole. One just has to look at the pressure this site has applied in such events as the RAAus board restructure, the aircraft registration fiasco, the current Jabiru situation, all events that you, the users, have helped shaped the outcomes to what the majority of recreational aviators want. I have pleaded, begged, moderated, tried so many different ways with everyone to make the site better in the sense of the topic of this thread to where it is a full time job, without pay, and without that I believe this site would have been an extra chapter in the book Lord of the Flies. But after 11 years now I have run out of methods so what we have is what we have and only one person can change it...YOU

That video doesn't really have what I am after, it is more of a document template system and some docs on learning about creating a small business...I am way past that

People are already getting very rich from it but this is completely new and revolutionary and will leave all of them behind which is why secrecy is a big part of it at the moment. I once had a job many years ago as the "Business Development Manager" for a large corporate and they said at the beginning that if I come up with 100 ideas and only 1 is accepted and works extremely well then I have been successful. At that firm I did come up with a lot of ideas all of which could have been successful but one that they approved ended up being their most profitable service ever and ended up being 40% of their whole revenue. Another one also many years ago when I was in construction Project Management. There was a pipe that wasn't approved for use in Vic so I got it approved so the company I worked for could be the sole distributor. But, what I did was to set up a 2nd company under a trust of the owners children's names, who had a different surname, to the owners and sell the pipe to our competitors. No one knew that the 2 companies were owned by the same people. This way we could give discounts to our competitors of what we liked and anyone tendering on the same job as us would not get a discount so we could win the tender and keep our company going well. It just started off as an idea and worked because when the owners sold both business's for a huge profit they retired, and although I got a nice payment for my services, I wasn't allowed to work in the construction industry for 2 years under the terms of the sale agreement that I had to agree to. As the advert says, from small things big things grow

No, its not in Aviation or I should say that could only be 5% or less of it, in fact it doesn't need to have anything to do with aviation at all

Just phoned them, as I am currently unemployed they can't offer anything. Must be working and then can apply for $30k for startup and up to $500k for existing business enhancement. I would be looking for say a progressive draw down totaling $250k over 6 months with substantial returns (possibly 300% or more) in year 2 and on Basically, in simple terms, employment of 3 people, say $20k costs and say $50k in advertising. 3 months before startup phase completed and then revenue begins. Break even after 6-9 months and full EOY return is kept as retained earnings for further expansion. Year 2 and above is full ROI at 300%+

Thanks Mate

Does anyone know hoe venture capital works? Say you have an idea that you believe could end up being extremely profitable however you don't have the funds to get it going so is venture capital a solution or are there other, better ways, of getting an idea off the ground?

Here is another use for an aircraft http://www.macrumors.com/2014/11/13/justice-department-fake-cell-towers/
