I'll bet NPR has some of the most popular shows on radio

But NPR will ways be playing second fiddle because it doesn't carry this:
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/

I know the best way to get a bunch of wierdos to go to it. Have it announced on Coast to Coast AM.

well the internet is showing lots of people why free press ideas are good and healthy for us poor folks on earth.

places like colleges will have to be more specialized. but over time i see things like community colleges merging with internshipsish hands-on job training.

recently heard coast-to-coast am host george noory talk about giving college credits for listening to so many shows... don't think it will happen, but a nice idea.

As noted in another thread:

Neogentronyx is currently in the process of constructing a Bipedal Exo-Skeletal Robotic Vehicle [neogentronyx.com], known as a Mech and designated NMX04-1A. The purpose of the NMX04-1A is proof of concept and to make the first bold step towards full production of Mecha vehicles, affordable to civilians and not just commercial entities. There are plenty of pretty pictures and info here [neogentronyx.com]. See also these larger more recent pics [coasttocoastam.com]

Another fine product of Alaska, approximately 18 ft tall (7 meters)

As someone noted:

Bring a few cans of WD-40. Looks like they are assembling this thing out in the open! No building to put it in!

...........

Do you think that he's any competition?

I can just imagine a mosh pit filled with these things.

It's going to sound lame, but you can get some reasonably good audio from 2600.

2600

Or Sun has their Java evangelists create real audio lectures.

Also, I purchased Verbal Advantage

Verbal Advantage

When going through DC I listen to C-SPAN Radio, or whenever available.

C-SPAN Radio

When available, I listen to NPR.

NPR

If it's the wee hours, I listen to Coast to Coast AM

I also like Neil Boortz.

I also purchased "Word Smart" and "Grammar Smart" on Amazon.com, which are published by the Princeton Review.

Have you tried listening to older Art Bell shows? Even some of the newer ones are pretty interesting (nerd wise, or other)..

Their streamlink plan lets you download shows from past 90 days, they just started an awesome "classic show" category that has some real gems... Look out for shows from Dr. Michio Kaku (Awesome guy, genius, check out his book Hyperspace) as I find those really entertaining to the geek part of me.

The website for the show can be found Here and the streamlink info Here

Oh, and lots of stuff about UFOs, ghosts.. just time killing stuff to listen to

On Saturday evening, talk show host Art Bell had an interview with journalist Douglas Mulhall in which they discussed this new solar cell technology. The Hindustan times is the first paper to cover this development (American media is too obsessed with the Pope and Chris Rock). Bell is typically a ham (both figuratively and literally), but occasionally he hits on some very leading edge issues, which make listening to the other 80% of nonsense worth it (and the nonsense is entertaining).

... the same machine whose inventor appears on Coast to Coast AM from time to time? Anyone know? Sure sounds almost exactly lke it.

I just finished a small C# GUI application that connects into Coast to Coast AM with a StreamLink userName and Password and downloads the daily MP3's of the most recent show (or any date you pick). I would be interested to see if it can run in DotGnu on MS Windows and Linux.

they just didn't actually implement it on multiple platforms

Any group can make a new language and submit it for ISO standardization. Yes that would allow possible cross-platform implementations. But that is a far cry from actually being cross-platform.

Sun made Java when they were the largest Unix server platform and one of the largest server platforms (MS doesn't have server monopoly). Sun could have made Java only run on Solaris and just submit specs for anyone else. They didn't do that. They _wrote_ the code for multiple platforms so that Java could be cross-platform.

.Net will never be cross-platform until you can take a program using the native class libraries and have it run on other platforms. Thanks to Mono, you can do that with ASP.Net applications written in C# or VB.Net. But you cannot do that with .Net GUI applications.

I just finished a C# GUI application (for personal use) that connects into Coast to Coast AM with a StreamLink userName and Password and downloads the daily MP3's of the most recent show (or any date you pick). This app doesn't run on Linux or any other platform. If I had written it in Java, it would run out-of-the-box on those other platforms, that is cross-platform.

JamesBell submits this article by a geologist which suggests that the Earth is in serious, imminent, unavoidable danger.

So does his brother Art Bell.

methinks you have mistaken http://www.slashdot.org/ with http://www.coasttocoastam.com/

1) Why is your faith in open source so great that you are unwilling to humor the idea that there is a bug in the application? I am a professional software developer, and most of us LAUGH at the idea of "bug free" applications. It is considered, in some circles, so laughable, that one is considered a bit of a neonate to tout that their software is bug-free [that, or not connected to reality (at least, with respect to the technology)]. The first time I ran Linux (late 90's) I had plenty of core dumps.

2) Are you proposing that Microsoft has a "black ops" department, whose sole purpose is to cause Windows to behave incorrectly when 3rd party software is run? Additionally, this department is exceptionally good at keeping a secret. So good, in fact, that the only way to detect their work is by running open source (patently bug-free) software on their OS, to uncover these flaws? Given that open source software is bug-free, wouldn't such a department fear discovery when performing such an act?

I'm not saying that there aren't reasons to dislike Microsoft, but goodness, this is /. not Coast to Coast AM.

I'll tell you the single source of all of your Microsoft woes... the market. If the market will pump billions of dollars into a company, they have little right to complain about that company's software. There is competition. There was a lot more of it before all of you gave them all of your money. If you dislike Microsoft's product line, then download a Linux or BSD ISO, and install it. If you vote with your pocketbook, the company will listen. Hit companies that break the law with the law, and if you dislike the lack of competition, then purchase a competing product, or compete with them.

On the Art Bell Show, Major Ed Dames, a reknowed remote viewer, (you can spend a few $100 and take his class) used remote viewing to determine that the world will end in 2 years when a massive solar flare scorches everything. So don't worry about the wasted money. it doesn't matter anyway.

I must be the only slashdotter that listened to the Art Bell show, and frequent guest Ed Dames. "Psychic teleportation" sounds like nothing more and nothing less than astral projection.

Is this November, or April? (April would explain Tuesday pretty well, but I digress.)

ok, this is a little OT, but i thought it was fascinating enough that i'll post it anyway.

So a few weeks ago, I was driving back to school late at night and was listening to Art Bell (yes, its full of wackos but it's entertaining. Been listening since 7th grade)

Anyway, there was this guest on about polygraphs and plants, yogurt bacteria, eggs, food, etc.

Basically the guest said that if you hook up a polygraph to various "living" things, you can get some sort of reading off of them. If you put stress on/around the thing being monitored, it will react.

For example, if you hook up a polygraph to an egg, and have a dozen other eggs around it. If you take one of the eggs and put it in boiling water, the egg hooked up to the polygraph machine will go crazy.

With plants and yogurt. If you hook up a polygraph to a plant, and have a cup of "live" yogurt beside it. If the yogurt is disturbed (such as stirring up the fruit in the yogurt). This will kill the live bacteria in the yogurt and the plant would react.

Lastly, the guest said that you can't (for the most part) beat a polygraph with anything mjaor (such as if you murdered someone). Why? Because you conscience would get the best of you. The one exception is if you life was in danger. (he didn't elaborate much on what that meant)

And lastly, a link to the show

Now consider asking Joe and Jane Average to take a needle full of little robots for the team. How well do you think that is going to go over? In the USA, where 5 to 10% of the population (millions of people!) listen to Coast to Coast AM (used to be Art Bell, now mostly George Noory with a smattering of Art Bell) and gleefully swallow the stories of "alien abduction", "exorcism", "Chem trails", "witches", "holes in the ground" that lead right to hell, "Hollow Earth" creatures and oodles more...

I'm afraid I'm more than a little skeptical that you could get the population to accept infusions of nanobots, and that assumes that you could get the congress and the senate to authorize such a thing, and that we can actually create such things, of which I am also more than a little skeptical.

Maybe you could in a considerably better educated country, like Japan. Then again - maybe not. :)

This guy is a respected Internet pioneer and probably did not want to have some retard juvenile show humiliate him in front of thousands. Even if he did something funny they could edit it to make him look bad.

The solution was maybe to send someone to play is part, for who looking goofy on TV can bee a most for is career.

Phase 1: Find an actor looking for publicity who will do some crazy shit and explained some fake new weird antispam technology working by hocking an USB cable in the ass of a rat or something as nobody understand what's happening.

Phase 2: Write the plan of action, take pictures of the preparation, record an interview with the artist who will play the prank and even plant someone in the audience with a hidden camera or audio tape that could recorde the event.

Phase 3: Publish everything on the internet and send a post to Slashdot and many other media before they air the show.
(and then who knows, maybe profit!!!)

Anyway it would have been fun that he turn the table on them. :)

I'm glad you know so much about "her" to warn us all. Whatever would we do without you?

Actually it's a "he". Poor guy, what were his parents thinking? :)

Since his server's been nuked, you can read a little about him here.

A lot of it ends up being pseudo-science at best (but still somewhat interesting), but Coast To Coast AM (Art Bell, George Noory) does In fact have some real scientists on. They have a 3+ month archive of their old shows in, get this, MP3 format. It does have a $6.99 monthly fee. Obviously a lot of it is annoying rubish, but some is actually pretty good. I enjoy the show, but I've really only bought into one of the conspiracy theory/UFO/ghost topics.

Somewhat real scientists that have been on the show (And are In the current archive):
Paul Davies - Understanding the Universe
Brian Greene - Physics of the Universe
Kevin Mitnick - Hacking A To Z
Robert Hogg - JPL robotics engineer - The State of Robotics
And others...

The MP3s are great for listening to at work and have most/all of the commercials removed.

And then of course, you get all of the great tinfoil hat callers. It's also good for falling asleep to at night.

ARRL President Jim Haynie was a guest on the syndicated radio program Coast to Coast AM for an hour and a half March 20, talking about BPL issues. Art Bell, W6OBB, hosted the show and ARRL Life Member Joe Walsh, WB6ACU, of the band The Eagles, joined Haynie on the air to explain BPL and its potential problems. Haynie said the show went out to millions of listeners on 465 affiliates of the syndicated program.

Now let's see how good your *EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS*, you ham rig[s], your Analog Brodcast TV, and many other goodies work.

You won't be able to sell you rig on eBay because it will be worthless.

Oh and hey you CB er's Yours will all be worthless too!

Here's a PDF file by the ARRL about it

(Full Article)Stop the assault on ham radio!

Also there's the potential that "they" (I guess the public utilities) can use BPL to snoop on you also, All this was discussed By Joe Walsh and Art.

And the rest of you?
The "short waves" - the only part of the radio spectrum that supports long-distance, intercontinental radio communication. The short waves are used for international broadcasting, aeronautical, maritime, disaster relief, and other services including the military.

The "low-band VHF" frequency range that is heavily used by volunteer fire departments, police, and other first responders.

Depending on their distance from a BPL system, some public safety and federal government radio systems could receive harmful interference.

Can you honestly tell me the FCC has a firm grasp on Frequency and Power? No. Not the physics, but they DO HAVE A FIRM GRASP EH?!

Um guys.... the movie was written by Art Bell. The guy who had a late night radio show for decades where he talked about aliens, astro projection, and psychic pets. For that reason alone I can't take this movie too seriously.

I don't think anyone should forget that this "environmentally focused" movie is based in part on the book The Coming Global Superstorm, written by Whitley Strieber and Art Bell, not exactly the paragons of scientific objectivity.

Scientists are up in arms because this movie was written by paranormal talk show host Art Bell and alien abductee Whitley Strieber.

Relativity is bullcrap.

I heard so on Coast to Coast AM.

I think it was right after the chupacabra guy the other night. Or was it the bigfoot guy? I can't remember.

Anyway, that settles it. Anyone who says otherwise is a tool of the Establishment!

Now if you will excuse me, I am getting into my orgone box.

Okay, so the reliability of this information is obviously suspect given the source, but over the weekend I caught an Art Bell show on the radio, where the President of the American Relay Radio League claimed that interference from this kind of power line networking would essentially kill broadcasting in North America over a wide spectrum- if I remember correctly, something like 20Mhz-80Mhz. Art Bell's recap is here.

Looking into it now a little further, some of the American Relay Radio Leauge documents and links has some mentions of problems for radio astronomy and a few other low-profile endeavors.

Anyway, I had no idea this was a possible outcome, and these claims make me think that perhaps it's better to insist that we really work on existing non-interfering technologies before we kill one of the few sections of spectrum that an individual can use on his own.

One reason there are more people like this in the US could be Coast to Coast AM. I'm not sure if you get it over there, but it's a widely syndicated talk show about UFO's, Bigfoot, ghosts, conspiracies and pseudo-science that airs in the middle of the night. It may encourage people towards the tinfoil had variety. It can be entertaining though.

Whoever thought of this deserves to be smacked around by an eighty six chevrolet caprice classic. The reason we play video games is to forget about the real world, not to hear about social issues of the united states. What good is it going to do to put social issues in video games when the people that have to do something about these social issues are too busy worrying about marijuana and restricting our rights and liberties by having a so called "War on Terror". If you think video gamers are going to have any kind of affect on politics, then you are stupider than I thought. The only way this country will ever be fair is if we get these money hungry greedy pieces of crap out of office. I leave you all with a quote: "Democracy is a poor form of government, but all other forms of government are worse." -George Noory...coast to coast am talk show host Coast to Coast Am

I could swear when I first looked the headline was "Impact of Technoprobes". Thought I accidently clicked Art Bell instead of Slashdot.

Dont discount them so quickly! I was listening to Art Bell the other night, and Art had Richard C. Hoagland on as his guest.

For those of you that don't know, Richard C. Hoagland was once the "science advisor" to Walter Kronkite! He is extremely credible.

Well, on his site, Enterprise Mission, he does some detailed analysis of the photos and makes a very compelling case that there are actual pieces of machinery visible in the photos that Spirit's Pan Cam has sent back.

The unwillingness of the /. community to accept extreme possibilities despite overwhelming evidence is something I'll never understand. Open your mind, guys.

See the story behind the MRIs here.

If someone has one of these, why are they only documented with blurry photos on fringe websites

Just because it isn't on CNN.COM or the New York Times it isn't credible?

Remember it was fringe journalist Matt Drudge who broke the Lewinski story.

there are hundreds of scientists who'd kill to get their hands on one of these and publish analyses.

If they did, people like you would find a reason not to believe anyway.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE. All you have is testimony unsupported by any physical evidence.
MRI anyone?

How about this one?

A man who has claimed to have been abducted since June 1975 has an MRI done and he has a foreign object somehow embedded in his brain. Not proof, but evidence.

How about a closeup of a different implant?

Not proof, but evidence.

Tell that to George Noory Coast to Coast AM cause he's about to shit his pants over this one.

Of course there are other radio shows with a technical perspective! Just take a look at Coast to Coast with Art Bell (sometimes). The technical parts come in to play when UFO's are mentioned ....

I try to stay up late to listen to Coast2Coast, but it usually doesnt work, if only there was a device to let me tivo it.

Coast to Coast AM is a very sweet radio program. I have been searching the internet for months, ever since Disney bought out the radio station in my area that broadcasted the program. Coast to Coast wants you to pay $6.95/mo for their streamlink. Maybe now someone will be posting files....

Be sure to check out Coast to Coast AM's web site to find a radio station near you. This is geek radio...

George Noory, Art's replacement, has some pretty cool guests on too. Yeah, he's not as good as Art, but at the same time, he's got the same interesting topics. Give him a few years and hopefully he'll get even better.

This was on "Coast to Coast AM", and the program information is on the following page (on 11/19/00).

And, if you read through this site, you'll see that he has a little more than a mathematical interest in this calendar (things like "biorhythms"...).

For those so inclined, here's some references to the original literature prepared by AJ Annala::

Subject: REQUEST: Literature on Isolated Brain Perfusion Experiments
From: A J Annala (annala@neuro.usc.edu)
Date: Thu 04 Apr 1991 - 08:52:03 BST

I am writing a review paper describing the history (through the present day) of experiments designed to provide artificial support for maintaining normal brain activity following total circulatory or respiratory collapse. The ultimate goal of such research is to preserve normal brain function across lengthly periods (weeks/months) of cardiac or respiratory arrest.

There is a very substantial scientific literature (a brief chronology of which is provided below) describing an increasingly successfull series of experiments where animal brains have been supported by artificial methods after complete circulatory and respiratory failure.

If you are aware of any additional literature which should be included in this review or if you have comments regarding the appropriateness of this technology for current laboratory / distant future human clinical therapy please reply with an email note to annala@neuro.usc.edu.

• 1812 -- Legallois put forth the original idea for resuscitating decapitated heads through the use of blood transfusion.
• 1836 -- Cooper showed in rabbits that compression of the carotid and vertebral arteries leads to death of an animal; such deaths can be prevented if the circulation of oxygenated blood to the brain is rapidly restored.
• 1857 -- Brown-Sequard decapitated a dog, waited ten minutes, attached four rubber tubes to the arterial trunks of the head, and injected blood containing oxygen by means of a syringe. Two or three minutes later voluntary movements of the eyes and muscles of the muzzle resumed. After cessation of oxygenated blood transfusion movements stopped.
• 1887 -- Laborde made what appears to be first recorded attempt to revive the heads of executed criminals by connecting the carotid artery of the severed human head to the carotid artery of a large dog. According to Laborde's account, in isolated experiments a partial restoration of brain function was attained.
• 1912 -- Heymans maintained life in an isolated dog's head by connecting the carotid artery and jugular vein of the severed head to the carotid artery and jugular vein of another dog. Partial functioning in the severed head was maintained for a few hours.
• 1928 -- Bryukhonenko and Cechulin showed life could be maintained in the severed head of a dog by connecting the carotid artery and jugular vein to an artificial circulation machine.

I can't view the site for obvious reasons, but from the descriptions given it sounds
similar to the outrageously priced Datahand, which I have considered saving up for.
I am guessing (hope I am wrong) that this one has a high tag as well since the
ergonomic devices are purchased by businesses who are stupid and rich enough to
shell out the bucks. Then again, it could be more expensive because they are paying
royalties to the aliens who invented it, since it does appear after all to be based on
the model found in the Roswell UFO crash.
