No, you don't but I will tell you reasons why people do use a net. Nets keep out blue herons, kingfishers, egrets and other birds who love to eat fish as well as racoons, cats, etc. who want to go for a swim and have lunch at the same time. If you don't have fish, then I wouldn't worry about getting a net but know that you're going to be skimming out debris that may fly into your pond.

You are probably going to need a landing deck because of headroom, especially as you go downstairs. By going directly under the floor you are likely to hit your head on the floor as the stair turns. Precision Pine staff design the stair for you to ensure you have at least 6’6” of headroom. See Why you need a landing deck.

Again, weight, weather and faith come into play here. But for two people, you will need about 300 to 400 feet for take-off and around 50-100 to safely land. No. When you have an aircraft with the safely record of the PPC, it is extraordinary to find one with an emergency chute. Besides, you're already flying your recovery system, the ram air parachute wing on your plane.

This section is work in progress, but see the front page for info about CSBrowse. The control works fine from .NET apps, but the control is regarded as unmanaged code. If you're looking for a cross-platform solution, then some day, the GTK browser widget may be a better fit That is if the Mono crew consider doing their own thing instead of aping MS at every step, and produce a viable GTK# with a component for browsing.

The .NET Framework SDK is free and includes command-line compilers for C++, C#, and VB.NET and various other utilities to aid development. Microsoft Visual Studio Express editions are cut-down versions of Visual Studio, for hobbyist or novice developers.There are different versions for C#, VB, web development etc. Originally the plan was to charge $49, but MS has decided to offer them as free downloads instead, at least until November 2006.

Yes. COM components are accessed from the .NET runtime via a Runtime Callable Wrapper (RCW). This wrapper turns the COM interfaces exposed by the COM component into .NET-compatible interfaces. For oleautomation interfaces, the RCW can be generated automatically from a type library. For non-oleautomation interfaces, it may be necessary to develop a custom RCW which manually maps the types exposed by the COM interface to .NET-compatible types. Here's a simple example for those familiar with ATL.

Yes. .NET components are accessed from COM via a COM Callable Wrapper (CCW). This is similar to a RCW (see previous question), but works in the opposite direction. Again, if the wrapper cannot be automatically generated by the .NET development tools, or if the automatic behaviour is not desirable, a custom CCW can be developed. Also, for COM to 'see' the .NET component, the .NET component must be registered in the registry. Here's a simple example. Create a C# file called testcomserver.

I just can not belive Ghost has droped the ball on this and is still requiring people to use floppies. The directions are clear, straight-forward and accurate. This is the most well-put-together doumentation I've EVER found relating to Ghost. I've worked with (read: struggled with) the program on and off for years, and have never found any documentation anywhere near this caliber. This is the guide I was looking for since Symantec are so incopetent to write it for us.

One strong possibility is to use IKVM to access the Java client from .NET. Other alternatives include using an ESB such as Mule to connect to .NET applications, or using AMQP-over-HTTP or over JSON-RPC to access AMQP functionality through web-service-style interfaces. We're tracking the development of the core AMQP standard, which is at present working on defining a good mapping from AMQP to the concepts used in JMS. If you want to use JMS with AMQP today, please email us.

No. There is no software needed to use our service. Everything required to set up the internet connection is already installed on your computer. For Windows based operating systems, a dial-up connection can be set up through Dial-Up Networking. For configuration instructions, please click here. For Mac OS, there is also no software needed. A connection can be set up through the Internet Setup Assistant. For instructions, please click here.

The .NET framework itself runs on all versions of Windows from Windows 98/NT4 upwards. It does not run on Windows 95 or NT3.5. For NT4, it requires service pack 6a.

Any computer (Mac, Windows, Linux) with a Internet Explorer browser of 4.5 or higher or Netscape 6.0 or higher. Unfortunately, the older browsers will not work on some of the features of the site.

The canopies used today bear little resemblance to the classic round canopies of years gone by. Today, nearly all jumpers and jump schools use "square" canopies for parachuting. These canopies are actually rectangular in shape, and when open, act like an airplane wing (or an airfoil). They are more like gliders than umbrellas. The aerodynamics of the square canopy provide it with exceptional maneuverability, allowing the jumpers to land almost anywhere they wish.

Depending on how one counts, there are between three and five active groups. The two most popular seem to be "sie, hir, hir, hirs, hirself", (especially "hir"), and "zie, zir, zir, zirs, zirself". The latter apparently came into being after a German-speaking netizen objected to "sie" and "Sie", which in many contexts means "she" in German. Third and fourth, differing only in the first and maybe last word, are "e or ey, em, eir, eirs, eirself or emself".

To use Casino on Net with AOL as your Internet supplier, you have to use AOL version 3.0 for Windows 95 or later. Click the on the start menu at the bottom left corner of your screen. Select settings and then click on control panel. Double click on add/remove programs You will see a list of programs, AOL will also show there and include the version. Verify that AOL for Windows 95 is listed. If AOL for Windows 95 is not listed, contact AOL for an updated version of the AOL software.

You should use whatever names you feel are important for you. The .com is the most prestigous, then the .net and finally the .org There is no real difference between the extensions... there is no particular meaning associated with any of them. When we register names for ourselves, we typically take all three. Why? If we take one, our competition will take the other two, and our customers can become confused and actually do business with the wrong company.
