Yes, but the FCC forbids Amateur Radio operators to broadcast any encrypted data. While anybody can transmit on the 2.4 GHz range, you are implicitly acting under the FCC Amateur Radio license regulations by upping the power beyond what the general public can do. That means technically you can't use SSH or HTTPS.
I'm sorry to hear you believe that. Pornography is one of the evils plaguing our world. Exploiting young men and women for your carnal pleasures shows your lack of understanding of the wonders of God.
I agree 100%. There are a million reasons I prefer OS X to Linux on the desktop. Here's one:
I plugged in a my 19" monitor into the output on my 12" Powerbook. Right away the monitor fires up, and I have a second desktop - not a clone of the first desktop, but a full second desktop that I can drag applications and windows onto. No mucking about in XF86Config files or whatever.
Alright, then I nominate the next paragraph for OVERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR

Inform them that unless they can show a contract, with your signature, that binds you to that agreement, you will consider any termination a breach of contract and will pursue it as such.
Let me see if I understand. You're saying that since they don't have a signed contract you're free to do what you want, but if they terminate your service it's a breech (of what, the non-existant contract)?
I'm the leader of a Terrorist organization known as FART. Over the past few years Fuck Anal Retentive Timekeepers (FART) has led millions of disenfranchised Timex employees in a quest to change time! Yes, every morning and night (corresponding with sunrise and sunset), we face our asses westward and let our flatulence fly!
It's good to see our efforts to fuck with those atomic timekeeping twits succeeding!
Last week I went through airport security 3 times, and not once was I asked to power up my 12" Powerbook. I was surprised by this, as many of the PC laptop users around me were asked to.
If anyone out there has digital tv, they are monitoring you
You are so full of it. Might it happen in the future? Maybe. Is it happening now? No.
Once the digital cable box has been provisioned and 'hit', it does not talk back to the headend when you change a channel, since it already has the access list in memory. Do you have any idea how much memory one of those boxes has? Not enough to be recording your viewing habits.
The above statement doesn't apply to services like VOD and PPV, since when you order one of the those the box does talk back to the headend. But of course, if that really bothers you that much, do you boycott Blockbuster and all movie rental stores as well? Because they know what you watch! Ooh!
The gapper you refer to was just a filter installed on the line. It attenuates the signal to the point where it's too low for a TV to tune to. The frequency range on the filter was probably from 52Mhz to around 400/500 MHz. Anything above that is usually reserved for cable modem downstream and digital cable, both of which are useless unless you have the ability to put yourself into the cable company's provisioning databases.
Give it a year or so, the SCO debacle will be over, and people will be back to having MS on the top of their hate lists.
No doubt. SCO is like the Brittany Spears of music - comes out of Goddamn nowhere, blows up bigger than life itself, and then fades into oblivion almost as quickly. All that's left in the end is a smoking crater of fake tits.
MS, on the other hand, has real skill. They're like Michael Bolton - who will outlast every one of us!
Basically you just send a pulse using the cable which has a fault. At the point of the fault, the signal reverses its path. By timing how long it takes for a pulse to return, and by knowing the speed of the pulse in the cable, you can figure out how far along the cable the fault is.
Of course, it can suck if your cable doesn't travel in a straight line...

Just a thought.

I thought that was amazing.
Yeah, thanks to you I lost my moderation privileges! That was the last comment I ever moderated.
I'm still bitter about that. I've been a member here for 5 years, have excellent karma, but I can't moderate because of some jackass admins.
Wow, thanks. That's both informative and scary.

So what do I have to do in order to get my bullshit press releases on Yahoo?
I'm not following your logic:
Inform them that unless they can show a contract, with your signature, that binds you to that agreement, you will consider any termination a breach of contract and will pursue it as such.
Let me see if I understand. You're saying that since they don't have a signed contract you're free to do what you want, but if they terminate your service it's a breech (of what, the non-existant contract)?
I agree. Drexel's WKDU kicks ass, although I don't listen to it much anymore.
I'm seriously looking into Sirius.
They still play local radio ads, local news and local weather reports, school closings
Hah! Trying listening to Y100 (100.3) in Philadelphia. No news (other than Clear Channel concert information). No weather, no school closings.
During the last two years, I've heard one (1!) Public Service Announcment, too bad that was at 2am.
God I hate that station.
You fools addicted to caffine are weak! Weak I tell you!
Now excuse me while I go outside to have a smoke.

If you follow the second link into some depth, there's a claim that the new mini-iPod will be flashed based instead of HD based.

I'll have you know that I showered this morning, you cunt!
True. Me being well dressed, short-haired white guy probably helps too.

that case of mad cow disease from Texas.
Come on now, I don't like George Bush either, but isn't that a little harsh?!
You bought a Packard Bell too then huh?

At the moment, digital cable boxes in the US don't use smartcards. Everything is internal to the digital box.
You mean kind of like Verizon selling my phone number to telemarketers, and then trying to sell me anti-telemarketing services for a premium price?

Of course I remember, because you keep fucking reminding me!
