Ham Radio will save us all. Not. Well, at least, I have a full boat anchor station (all vacuum state - tubes) which should survive an event. The problem is that the station hardly survives a single use, when I have to go and find out what broke again.
But that is me. What about everyone else? And what about food and water? Oh well.
a "Hamstick" antenna for 20 meters is only 10 feet long.
Also, you can get a decent SSB tranceiver for about $250 if you are willing to use an aptly named "boat anchor". ON a boat. Get it? hihi.
No wonder why it was impossible to remove. My Windows 2000 machine is most probably infected and will probably stay infected until I just reload windows from scratch. Maybe even that won't get rid of the adware.
see my previouis comment that answers your question. mod me up for that.
and what is this %^&$*&% about 17 seconds between hitting "reply" and "submit"? I type fast.
Transportation efficiency is measured in "liters per 100 km per passenger" by engineers.
Although your mileage may vary, here are the rough estimates.
Jet - 5 liters/passenger * 100 km
Car - 5
City Bus - 0.9
Intercity bus - 0.7
Train - 0.5
Call me foolish, (and you may) but cars and jets are apparently equal in efficiency. If you want to save the plannet, take the train.... or stay home. I like cycling myself.
Real Electronics you can see. I want my transistors right out in the open, not hiding like some yellow bellied worm. Get them right out there, where I can twittle and twaddle them. Who knows what voltages are insides some of those chips....
I want my radios big 'n heavy. Real techs use 100 watt soldering irons.
Non-compete agreements between companies themselves? I applied for a job at company A, and since i was currently (or recently) working at company B, and there is an agreement between the two, I am not considered for work at company A.
What, if any, remedy is there for this type of discrimination?
I was victum to this.
buy this program.
That is, if i was in that income bracket. Let's see, I make about $90k working for the state (very secure, you/.ers) so, $1000 is about one percent of my income. Now, I don't mind buying a frappaccio or other such for say, $5. 5/90000 is (where is that calculator?).005% of my income. Yearly.
Divide that into $1000 and you get $18 million. Or so.
So, if I was making $18 million per year, yes, I would not think twice about dropping a grand on bubkes.
...SOC-7 error
No, its a SYSTEM ERROR number 0C7 (zero cee seven) DATA EXCEPTION. There! I saved hundreds of queries from/.ers to that overloaded Google server.
...Basically, they're comfortable with their crusty old bugs, and they don't want to deal with scary new bugs...
No, IMHO the older systems have been for the most part DEBUGED. An old COBOL system has thousands and thousands of hours of debug, and every modification usually includes some other bug found and fixed. Thats the reason these systems are "comfortable". They work.
Since when is ANY programming language "cool"? Please tell me what planet you grew up on. This is the symptom of an uber-geek: he thinks that anything that he has or does deserves the awe and respect of all other lesser life forms.
This writer has gotten to the point where "being cool" is actually not very cool.
$250 Freescale-Based "Green" "Cloud" Computer
For $250 I can get a suitable, nice, and rather modern Laptop pc, used, on ebay or similar.
And speaking of costs, what is the cost of the hardware to the manufacturer? The processor costs less than $20, throw in the rest, and the whole motherboard is less than $50. Add a free operating system and free software, and charge the suckers five times production costs. What a racket.
OH SOOOOO SERIOUS. Get a life. Like if i take/. with a little irreverence, it will affect the blog.
And if you have been paying attention, a good majority of the posts are "funny". Even the ones moderated otherwise.
Do some research, moron. DSRM.
/. is a place to have fun, as much as anything else - that's exactly the attraction.
And if you haven't caught on by now, (and obviously you haven't) my first post was a comment on the article itself. Who picks these anyway? Regardless, get a SOH. Or go post somewhere els.
I have a copy (that i bought and paid for) of ARrecorder. This amazin' little piece of software can record audio, just about any audio, that is piped thru my computer and to my speakers. In other words, aint no way I cant record it.

Could we have some more details on this???? I would like to know too. SSB? dont you mean cw?

Easy. Just get a small black hole. Shoot the photons around the gravity well. They'll last almost forever.
When the state of the art robotics is advanced enough for robots to automaously go and create factories for making more robots....
Then the only limiting factors are
a - raw materials
b - energy
Both of which are virtually unlimited in space, i.e. the moon, astroids.
No comment needed on the implications of an unlimited and cheap work force.
Secondary question - how many humans are needed (on Earth or off) to insure the species and for progress, once working becomes obsolete?
"...Although the atmosphere of Titan is filled with a smoggy orange hydrocarbon haze..."
Just like L.A. Let's go there.
I always wondered why my chemistry set was lacking the ONE chemical that I really wanted.
Are you by chance related to the deity who designed the scrotum? Because of it, women can exact revenge in a painful way. Thanks, Jerk!
Yes, He is my Father. Hence, my name Baruch Atta. Go back to Hebrew school.
Besides, I am glad that I have scroti. Maybe you should grow a pair.

Naturally.

Actually, this is the first time I have ever been modded at all. Looks like someone is actually looking.
In typical /. fashion, I have absolutely nothing to say on the subject. Therefore, I am saying it here. Off topic and maybe troll. Mod me down, please.
