Re: Colin Kaepernick Sitting For US National Anthem
So many of white people have whined they don't like anyone protesting, anywhere, ever, that might sightly inconvenience them. As far as I know, there have not been any protests, or folks busing in to march, over the 6 dead, and 15 wounded by gunshots, in Chicago, since Friday. That story hasn't man...

Re: Sorry Elon, You're Not Going to Colonize Planets
So who'd want to colonize that dead rusted planet, Mars?? The same reasons there aren't pushes to "colonize" Antarctica, or The Sahara. As for exploration / scientific outposts, then that will need to happen first successfully on the Moon. "Mars" is a sexier pull for Governmental...

Re: U2 crashes in Northern California; 1 injured, 1 dead
Being a Spy Plane, the Military will not likely be required to give detailed information about what caused the accident to the general public.

Re: Big Problems at Big Delta
Apparently Delta are blaming this on a power outage in Atlanta... Sorry Delta, the blame lies with your IT team, because they failed. Power outages shouldn't take down your service, why wasn't this tested for? Why can Netflix get High Availability and service redundancy right and airlines cannot? N...

Different topic: Could we rest the case of carry-ons? I say it is a super natural reaction to collect your essentials (which are basically passport and credit Card/cash). It is easy to deny that from a dry and warm place at home, or even advocating legal action. I feel however reality would be diff...

It has been done before as you can see. Not since, I do not believe. I have no problem at all with the use of the Robot. If any...

Re: Shots fired during Dallas Black Lives Matter protest...
So we ALL know that shots were fired in Dallas, and that officers have died, unfortunately. I'd just hoped that there would be a little more discussion in this thread of how and where the shots were fired from the lone gunman. I know that in a downtown setting, with buildings and concrete, that lou...

Re: Why German Trains Don’t Run On Time Any More
And I thought the reason that the German Trains Don’t Run On Time Any More, was that it takes longer to get everyone sorted out in the separate men, and separate women's ques, for the the single sex trains, due to all the new displaced persons from Mid-East and African states, that can't go for a ri...

Here are my tips about loading your avatar from the Settings option: I first uploaded a very nice and free photo tool called Photoscape from the CNET download page. I basically found it easiest to first select a 1:1 ratio to crop the part of the photo I selected to use as my avatar. Saved that crop ...

Re: Airliners.net Site Upgrade Announcement & Discussion-font size
I am using a 15.6" laptop and Firefox and find that increasing the zoom level in the Firefox settings to 120% or 133% makes the text much more readable and darker. Still not as good as the old site but much easier to read than at the 100% setting. Another advantage is that it eliminates the bl...

Okay, my problem was in the sizing of the page. I don't like to use glasses with my "older" eyes, and so, having the page magnified a bit, well that made the top part of the page disappear and not be visible. In my current setup, reducing the image to 67% now gives me the icons that were m...
