The only solution I can think to do is monitor your neighbors. The TV Band devices would have to be within 1-2 football fields to overpower a full-strength TV channel, so if you experience interference it's probably coming from next-door or across the street.
Once you locate the TV Band device, per FCC rule, they are required to turn it off. They are NOT allowed to continue operation while it is interfering with television (the primary owner of the channel).
>>>>>You can't exactly reduce the quality of a digital signal. It either works or it doesn't.
Sure you can. In the case of my Digital VHS VCR, it will reduce HD video to 720x480 if you don't have compliant hardware. You can only watch the full high-definition image if you use the Firewire or HDMI connection.
Dinosaurs and mammals did not coexist. There were some small rat-sized reptiles who were gradually evolving from scales to fur, but they did not take-over until after the dinosaurs were wiped out. ----- Although dinosaurs did not go completely extinct. Some survived and evolved into birds. A modern-day bird is a lot like an ancient raptor.
Watch the BBC's "Before the Dinosaurs" to get a better idea of how life evolved on earth. There's basically two "families" of animals and they keep alternating in dominance. First one is dominant, then the other, and then the first comes back to prominence. Next time a major extinction happens, it might be the dinosaurs/birds that take over the planet.
It IS the purpose of government to regulate contracts, and the employer-employee contract stipulates that you should be paid for work done. The idea of not getting paid for the 15 minutes after the door closes, even though you are still mopping-up the floor or emptying trash, is a contractual violation. That is the point where the government steps in to mediate (and punish) the person who violated the contract (the employer).
At least the old games didn't move like a grandma stuck in a spider web. Modern games like Vice City take forever to finally "get to the point". (half an hour later). You mean I haven't reached the first mission yet?!?!?
>>>I think the right to a fair trial and innocent until proven guilty are core concepts of a democracy
Even for Adolf Hitler who killed 6 million Jews and 6 million gypsies/mentally retarded citizens? I'd shoot that bastard dead as soon as I got close enough. He doesn't deserve a chance to get off.
Same goes for Stalin who killed about 30 million Russians, Ukranians, et cetera. When it comes to those kinds of people, I would feel absolutely NO guilt about pulling the trigger. I'd probably be SAVING lives through my action.
Likewise, I'm terrified of a person who thinks Bin Fucking Laden should be allowed to continue to live. It means you don't believe in justice for the murdered. You don't believe in protecting the "right to life". You just let the assholes run free.
Children would not know how to destroy the World Trade Center, would they? Stop being obtuse. You know very well that if your countrymen were killed by Bin Laden, or Hussein, or some other nutjob, you would just LOVE to kill him. Because that's justice. Kill 5000 thousand people and you deserve to die.
Well it's not just clothes alone, but also hair style, not wearing geeky glasses, et cetera. It's the overal appearance that can make the difference between "nerd" and "dateable".
Then punish them for the crime committed (i.e. stealing). Don't punish the innocent users like myself who do nothing wrong except stay at home & watch tv.
Clueless, clueless. India was in close association with the Persian Empire (right next door to one another). The Israelites were captured by the Persians for several generations as slaves.
Therefore the Israelites living in Persia heard the same stories that had been imported from nearby India that the Persians were hearing, and eventually included that story in their book. That's how cultures interact with one another.
India story---->migrates to Persia--->overheard by Israelite slaves who take the story back home.
>>>>>Right, good luck driving to or from Australia.
Wow that was really witty. Not. Of course I'm not going to drive to Australia. I fly when I have to fly, but prefer to drive if my destination is only 20 hours away.
Ding, ding, ding. There's no rhyme or reason why some drugs are allowed, because many of those drugs (like vicodin) are more dangerous than the supposed illegal drugs.
If the soul interacts with the human body (as people claim), then that means it interacts with matter and we should be able to detect it using a sensor which is made of similar matter.
The more likely explanation is that souls are just like fairies and leprechauns - an invention of the physical brain.
Uh... this is news? Any good businessman always watches the competition and tries to estimate how many customers might switchover. That's not "fear". That's just good old commonsense.

Correct. Back in high school I would have loved to "dress cool" but never knew how to do it, so I withdrew into computers. And of course I never had success with women, because they wanted the guys who could "dress cool". It wasn't until I moved away from school and into sales (which required formal dress) that I finally got some dates.
It all seems to come back to the clothes. If you don't wear what's cool or stylish, you're going to be shunned.
I still don't understand why drugs are illegal? Regulated yes, like alcohol, but why illegal? If I want to kill myself with cocaine that's MY business and none of yours. My body; my choice. (Same argument used to justify abortion.)
If something exists, it can be measured. So far we've found no evidence. We can detect neutrons but not the soul? Hmmm. BTW isn't Kurzweil one of the "Smoking Men" from the X-Files?

I read it as "Mammoth hairy balls" which I immediately knew could not be correct.
Um.... I thought they used frog DNA to fill-in the missing sequences. Which is how supposedly "sterile" dinosaurs were able to give birth.

I have been in that situation.
I won several thousand dollars in backpay + punitive damages. No one's going to protect your rights unless you act.

You're right. No exceptions. Killing is wrong.
So next time a murderer break into my house, I won't shoot him. I'll just let him kill me dead.
Are you sure you want to stick with a "no exceptions" rule?

It's the Internet way.
No responsibility; no need to be polite.

No my reply was aimed at you. There's simply no justification to ban my usage of cocaine or meth or marijuana when I'm just sitting & watching tv.
