Celebrating Yuri Gagarin's 1961 Flight Into Space
DeviceGuru writes "The 50th anniversary of the first-ever manned space flight, by Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, is being celebrated on April 12 with a two-day early activation of the ARISSat-1 ham radio satellite aboard the International Space Station. If you can get your hands on a scanner or ham handy-talkie you can join in the celebration by listening to prerecorded messages from the satellite as it orbits the globe tonight and tomorrow."

Have you actually read the article you are citing?
There are times when I think slashdot should have a football (ok, soccer) yellow/red card system for particularly stupid and/or misleading posts. But then that wouldn't exactly encourage the advertisers as on any one day about half the readership would be banned.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
