Ask Eric Blossom about Software-Defined Radio

Posted by michael on Monday September 9, 2002 @05:45AM from the modern-crystal-radio dept.

Eric Blossom is an electrical engineer with a history of working with radio and communications security. He gave a presentation at the recent H2K2 conference about his work with GNU Radio, which is, bar none, the single most exciting software project in existence today. (Imagine computing devices that communicate seamlessly across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.) As usual, we'll forward some of the best questions to Eric and post his responses when we receive them.

Why didn't she go all lesbo with Six instead of chasing that loser Joey?

With a little girl-on-teenage-girl action, that fucking show could've been primo spank material. Instead, I had to wank it to goddamn Helen Hunt.

This is one project where hacking the code can kill people or land you in jail. Don't broadcast on the wrong frequency!

Keep this away from radio telescopes!

If you would like more information about the fine piece of American television that was the Blossom show, please check out some of the sites from my Mozilla bookmarks:
- TV Tome's Site: Good basic information about when the show aired, the actors' names, etc.
- Yahoo TV Series Entry
- Mayim Bialik - Unofficial Biography: One of my favorite sites which, unfortunately, hasn't been updated in a while. Includes a hot pic!
- Then and Now Site: More good pictures here. I have the one on the right as my X desktop background. Always gets me going in the morning and ready to code!
Good to hear from another Blossom fan. I'm always willing to swap tapes of episodes. I have all episodes on VHS and in DivX format, too, on my hard drive.

I understand. by Anonymous Coward · 2002-09-09 06:11 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I understand what you were looking for in the television show Blossom; hardcore lesbian imagery. However, Blossom was marketed as a mainstream family television show. As such, it was simply not possible for them to create "spank material" for you. Please be understanding. What Blossom was about was learning lessons about life, dealing with tough issues like drug use and premarital sex, and, of course, providing a great form of 30 minute entertainment with superb acting.

Besides, Jenna is a really sweet girl, and I can't see her doing what you're asking. Mayim, on the other hand, is a dirty little slut.
