It appears to be all over the news ... What am I missing?

Nono, I mean Televised News.  Wasn't on the TV or Radio here at all.

It was on the ABC news here the other day (when it happened).

Ah, so at least it was covered SOMEWHERE lol

Cause of crash is believed to be its cargo shifting and upsetting the plane's balance, based on communications with air traffic control.

The craft reared up into too steep of a climb, stalled, skidded sideways from lack of airspeed, and then couldn't pull up in time after righting itself.

I actually found it quite odd that I didn't see this on the BBC or any other news station on TV...at all.

Agree. Supposedly it isn't a hoax either. Makes one wonder....

Yep...As far as I am aware, 7 people died...so...not only do they have an amazing video, they also have deaths to report o.0

The moment a US cargo plane spun out of control and crashed shortly after take-off in Afghanistan, killing all seven crew members, has been captured on video.

The Boeing 747, which had taken off from Bagram airbase near the Afghan capital Kabul destined for Dubai, exploded in flames after crashing to earth on Monday, killing all seven people on board – all of whom were American citizens.
The video footage, filmed by what appears to be a camera on the dashboard of a vehicle driving nearby, shows the plane gaining altitude and then twist, plummeting to earth. It is then engulfed in flames.
The Taliban, in a statement, claimed responsibility for the crash, but Nato’s International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said there were no reports of insurgent activity in or around the base, which is one of the largest in the country.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a team of investigators to Afghanistan to assist local authorities with their investigation.
The plane – owned by National Airlines, an Orlando, Florida-based subsidiary of National Air Cargo – was carrying vehicles and other cargo, according to National Air Cargo Vice President Shirley Kaufman.

Breakfast In Bed?

Scrubby is a utility that sits in your system tray and allows you to remove text formatting (Bold, Italic, Colors, Etc.) and optionally strip HTML tags from text in your Windows clipboard using a hotkey and paste into the current active window. You can also create substitutions and substitute some text for another when pasting. Can come in handy for email templates and such.

I did base it off of a Mac app I saw called TextScrub. I thought that was a great idea so I made a Windows version. :-)

You can download and view more info here -> http://starpunch.blogspot.com/2013/04/scrubby.html

Hmm. Theoretically that looks kinda neat. However it is 14 day trial with $5.99+tax via Paypal to continue using it!

Slightly drifting topics here, has anyone considered making "trial ware" a per-use trial rather than time limited? There's lots of stuff that I wouldn't buy right away because I'm not sure it would be a "star performer", only later that it does, but then it's expired. Whereas in a numbered trial, the first 4 uses playing with it sit there, then suddenly you get a project say in June where it becomes important enough to register!

Yeah, I have been stung by time-limits before...download and install something to test, run it once, forget for 2 week, go back to actually test and B00M..."PLZ BUY ME"

I honestly hadn't even noticed the 2300 number xD  But yeah, the one Ath posted was my more recent, however, the one tomos selected was only like 2 behind

I should also mention, this is released as-is...there is no real commenting in the code...so...unless you understand it...it might be a little screwed to look at...I am not the tidiest coder on the planet...so stuff is in no logical order lol

If you wanna see what you are in for...here is some of the code:

2" Neodymium Bar Magnet

what do you use the magnet for Stephen?

Sorting out magnetic metals from non-metallic

Basically, I attached it to another bar, as like a "scanner" type device, then you simply run it over an area to pick out anything magnetic. 

I think I'll park it in a garage or on the street like a normal car.

My main question, before anything else...is...why?

Yeah, after a re-read of the initial post...I declare myself insane.

This would be cool if one could somehow use an intermediary FTP server, to serve as the "middleman".

So it would be USER>FTP>USER<FTP<USER

You would get the benefits of private file sharing, with the added bonus of HTTP download speeds xD

You used to be able to get Rocket Fuel Coffee in Tesco in the UK but the last time I was there, (2011), it didn't appear to be on the shelves.
 (see attachment in previous post)
It tasted quite good but since my normal fare is Moccona Dark Roast, (or Nescafe Black Gold in the UK), take that as you will.

You can still get that in Tesco, but after me and a friend went through an entire jar in a night, then our boss almost calling the police on us cause he thought we was "coming down" off pretty much every drug you can think of (My god that was horrific), I have not touched the stuff since.
