FCC Proposes Abolishing Morse Code Requirement
TaxSlave writes "According to this ARRL article, the Federal Communications Commission has finally decided which path it wants to take with the Morse Code requirement for an amateur radio license. International requirements for Morse Code were done away with some time back, and several countries quickly abolished the requirement. Now, the FCC has proposed doing the same thing. Next step, months of comments, discussion, and navel-gazing."
Snape is the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher. The new teacher, Slughorn, teaches Potions (Snape's old subject).
The Half Blood Prince is a name found in a used potions book that gives helpful potions tips and spells. The Half-Blood Prince turns out to be Severus
Snape. Half-Blood refers to the fact that his father was a muggle (Tobias Snape) but the Prince part refers to his mother's maiden name (Eileen Prince).
Harry rightly suspects Draco Malfoy of being a Death Eater. Draco manages to sneak Death Eaters into Hogwarts using a pair of vanishing cabinets.
Dumbledore and Harry explore Voldemort's past, learning about Horcruxes, which are divisions of Voldemort's soul, making him immortal until they are all
destroyed. There are Seven pieces (some already destroyed) including Voldemort himself. Harry and Dumbledore try to get one, but it leaves Dumbledore weak and unable to fight off the Death
Eaters.
It turns out the Death Eater that overheard the prophecy and told it to Voldemort (leading to Harry's parents' deaths) was Severus Snape. Snape
kills Dumbledore when he is defenseless. Hogwarts is probably going to be closed but Harry announces he won't be returning anyway; he will attempt to finish the work he a
Dumbledore started, destroying Horcruxes so Voldemort can be destroyed.Relationships (if you're into that): Harry Potter ends up dating Ginny Weasley, it appears that Ron Weasley and Hermione
Granger get together, Bill Weasley and Fleur are going to get married, Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks are also together.

A wonderful new dog book, one both humorous and heartwarming, has just been published. In it, author Jon Katz recounts his own very active education about dog behavior in general and working dogs in particular -- learning that occurred during this special year. Your editor, Barbara Petura, interviewed Jon recently to find out more about his experiences and thoughts about his Labradors and Border Collies, and about the world of working dogs from his perspective. He shared his views freely and directly.
Barbara: In preparing this interview, I read quite a bit about your book called Geeks: How Two Lost Boys Rode the Internet Out of Idaho which is the story of Jesse Dailey and his friend Eric Twilegar. In a sense, I saw some parallels between Jesse and your first Border Collie, Devon, as both were misfits or outcasts of a sort. Do you like writing about misfits and outcasts?
Jon: You are very perceptive. Devon is to dogs what Jesse is to teenagers..They are both Lost Boys, as I was as a kid, and I am drawn to the human and canine form. Although Devon - my wife calls him "Satan's Spawn" -- was vastly more rebellious, stubborn and difficult than Jesse. And that's saying something.
Here's a final little gem from Jonny Katz (sidenote: how can this obnoxious fuck live with himself?):
Jon: We are almost on a collision course in America. Millions of dogs, and no place for them to run freely, and a plethora of new and restrictive laws keeping them from going to places, working or getting to know people. It's disturbing how many aggressive, neurotic and unhealthy dogs I meet.

'Poverty is not a lack of goods, it's a condition of low self esteem brought on by a disparity in the distribution of goods.' I kid you not, this is what the progressives have been preaching, of late.
Grumling... dead on the comments. "Back in my day, we had to learn morse code using two nails, a stick and a battery made from a pickle! And we liked it!" p.s. My openbsd box is named 'linksys' just to add some surrealism to the lives of those looking for a free ride.
