  1. RIP is easier than GM for just removing stuff, but still Firefox only.
  2. It's actually free but distributed as fully functional nagware. Oh, and eggplant is good if done right - we're having moussaka for dinner
  3. GSAK and the Cache Raid macro does something like this. Note that a program that can do exactly what you ask for in the general case is worth a million dollars.
  4. PQs don't work with GPSrs per se. See #2. Yes. No, see #4. GSAK is a handy all-round tool.
  5. Er, no. The problem the OP has is that he can't search for caches by language.
  6. That would mean he was able to control the plane, but unable to utilize the in-plane navigation and/or navigate by sight. Sounds unlikely.
  7. That's just so OT. This is not about cache density. Anyhoo, like Cezanne points out, caches attract visitors. Said visitors are likely to use nearby amenities; thus, the caches indirectly solicit. This is tantamount to a blanket ban on all urban caches, as there are usually shops within few metres of these. Autacek, you might want to try opencaching.de instead.
  8. Why was the policeman driving erratically, and did he really need to shoot the messenger
  9. So you also think that because we have the "Parking" icon, parking waypoints are unnecessary?
  10. There's two things to remember about that flight. First, the plane didn't crash. (I think that was your point.) Second, the damage was caused by stress fractures that should have been identified during routine maintenance. The first was indeed my point. It takes more than you'd think to down a commercial airplane. The second is also a point (though not the one I intended to make ). I suspect there are more aircraft incidents due to sloppy maintenance than terrorist activity, but guess which one get the headlines - a terrorist plot that is nowhere near fruition when "foiled", or a mechanical fault leading to an emergency landing?
  11. What does attributes have to do with this?
  12. Apart from the pressure problems of actually opening the door, need I remind you of Aloha Flight 243?
  13. I completely disagree. There is no shortage of opinions around here. Chalk one more up for "sad to see it go". I still haven't understood what the geocaching community gained from this cache being forcibly archived.
  14. Okay, that should help someone (Raine?) pinpoint the problem. Unfortunately, your html post is snipped at the bottom, so I can't explicitly see what's wrong.
  15. That it will increase angst and foster witch hunts for "those darn folks who have the nerve to ignore my caches!" (especially for Members Only caches where the owner can then peruse the audit log to see who might ignore him).
  16. Can you save the HTML from the page and make available somewhere? Alternatively, if you don't have a webhost, post it in a reply here inside [ code ] [ /code ] tags.
  17. Points for trying! Mostly yes. For your purposes, that's a definite "yes" Typically, no. Only case I can think of where that would work is if you have a combined PDA/GPSr. Require? No. It can be a benefit, though, and it doesn't have to be expensive. Maps, on the other hand, are typically quite expensive.
  18. Apart from this, I've also lost the ability to bookmark caches from the Google map page. It's probably a security feature ...
  19. No problems here, as you can see. Most likely, this is because you are opening the GPX file with a program that doesn't understand the UTF-8 character set. What are you using?
  20. Can you post a link or GC-code of a cache with special characters? Then I'll have a look at it.
  21. I assure you, that's perfectly reasonable. So Mrs. Ant keeps telling me when she bugs me for another diamond in her wedding ring. And yet, when we urgently need a better GPSr ...
  22. Why would they, when there's a perfectly good Danish one?
  23. Mr. Ant is 28 and a GIS developer. Mrs. Ant is 27 and a grad student majoring in history. At the latest (and so far only) event we attended, we were the youngest present (cacher's kids excluded). Also, all cachers I've met or talked to are white, but given the ethnic makeup around here that's not totally surprising. I'd expect to see some asians (Korean adoptees mostly) and perhaps a Turk or two, but so far haven't run into any. Sorry to interrupt, but both the Angles and the Saxons were Germanic people who sailed to England and settled there
