i suppose these moneyed jokers think the works of Mozart and Beethoven should still be under copyright, with royalties going forever to some corporation.
Zoosk sent me an ad where they randomly took two names from my facebook friends list, male and female, and heavily implied they were dating after meeting on Zoosk, with their stylized heart graphic. In fact they had never heard of each other. The man, my next door neighbor, was very angry and i don't blame him.
This reminds me of Domino's Pizza. Exactly when its boss made news for his opposition to abortion, "the word" went out that their pizza was no good. Now anything by Card gets the same treatment. Political correctness shows its muscle again. In the recent comparable case of Chick Fil A the tactic backfired though you still see that name used as a curse/insult.
Lately I get multiple calls like that every day. The DNC list used to work pretty well but it's worthless now. What changed? Is this part of the effort to get people to give up their landline phones? Never got one such call on my cellphone or Vonage.
The founder of the NTS, George Hart W1NJM, died recently at age 99. By separate channels I think you mean net frequency and side channels to pass traffic? What do you mean by RTS/CTS in NTS?
There is no more demonized crime than kiddie porn, so it's the perfect kind of case to push the envelope on self-incrimination for the next time they want to force someone to decrypt data in some other kind of crime.
It is rare for me to agree with the present administration but they got this one exactly right. In the UK merchants were punished for still using old weights and measures. I would really hate to see that here. Not our way.
55 was set by President Nixon in 1974 on advice of Lee Iaccoca. Nixon's original idea was a 50 mph federal speed limit, or more accurately federal extortion of the states to individually impose that limit. Supposedly that would partly solve the Arab oil embargo of the time. It was much later that "safety" became a nanny-state excuse for what had become the most defied law in the USA since alcohol prohibition.
Even school zones can be abusive. A small city close to me kept its speed limit at 15mph many years after all others had gone to 25mph for downtown areas, and when they finally had to conform to state standards they defined two gigantic school zones that made most of the city main streets 20mph much of the day. At the same time, Hubbard (Ohio again) became infamous for its zero-tolerance (long before that term was coined and presented as a good thing) police force and its mayor's kangaroo court.
I smell astroturf when I read defenses of this sort of official oppression.
Why are my comments on/. being deleted, whether anonymous or signed? I made one of the first comments on this story, mentioning New Rome and Ohio (my home state) and now it is gone. None of my comments have been defamatory or obscene, and this one wasn't even politically incorrect. Previous comments were, and they were gone real fast.
you sound exactly like the "public officials" of New Rome, Ohio defending their utterly corrupt "village". As a native and lifelong citizen of Ohio I am ashamed of this too-common "tradition" of my state with $$$$$$-inspired enforcement of traffic laws.
so I, living 55 miles south of Lake Erie all my life and haven't left the USA since a brief visit to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls almost 50 years ago, now have no fourth amendment rights at all. When I fought the then-new seatbelt laws 30 years ago I said it would lead to much worse but I never imagined this.
The USA has already gone metric for scientific and industrial uses. That's where it's needed; there is no need at all to shove it down the public's throat for ordinary uses like what was done in the UK.
My first thought at seeing "AGOR-1" was "AGER-2" (Auxiliary General Environmental Research) aka USS Pueblo which was hijacked and still now held by North Korea. Pueblo was really a spy ship, and categorizing the USS Armstrong so very similarly leaves so little doubt about its real purpose too.

In fact the really rare stuff was saved. They had hours to get stuff out of there before the fire reached it.

As a no-ip.com customer, for a while I feared that MS was being given a legal monopoly on dynamic-ip resolution. You never know these days.
The B-52 goes back just as far as the Bear - it's the current H series that came out in 1961.
As said, a few years ago they claimed to be going back to hobbyist items. I've seen zero sign they ever even tried, just more cutbacks.

Why does AOL even exist today? I know my next door neighbor was told he had to have AOL in order to use his Roadrunner cable isp account.
I've seen overreactions before but this beats it all - get rid of 90% of those who know how it works and expect it to still work?

suit&tie mentality: if we can't make big $$$$$ from it any more, burn it.

I long ago wrote off Linkedin as an offensive spammer. They need to shut down.

Is this a joke? Can the most civilized nation on earth sink to the level of the state criminals who stormed the American embassy in Iran?
