I can't wait for the time when most time-sensitive collaboration can be done remotely and all other travel is taken care of via trains, buses, and ships. Yes, I said ships. Would much rather spend 4 days crossing Atlantic on a big vessel with deck access, restaurants, and an internet connection than 6 hours cramped up in an aluminum tube.

I suppose they are a real annoyance. But I would be much more annoyed if a terrorist brought down my plane. Given that, yes, flying is annoying today. In the past I've brought with myself a whole bag filled with my photo equipment. Now I can't (being the cost a problem before security, even though I had to expect about 5/10 minutes of detailed checks of my photo equipment. Under 1000 km for land-based travels I'm going to drive, taking some days and taking the advantage of some tourism. Next year I've decided not to submit anything to J1 (I'll eventually retry in 2012), one of the reasons being the annoyance and the cost of the flight. -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
