You touch on something that I've been wondering about. From what I've read I understand that electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio, can also be understood as photons. And the frequency of the wave is in proportion to the energy of the photon. My question is at what frequency does one stop thinking of RF as photons. Is my little ham walkie-talkie pumping out 73cm photons when I transmit at 445MHz? Is an AM radio station pumping out a lot of football field sized photons or are photons actually just a point and these would be just very low energy photons?
Network Solutions' administrative policies are once again being blamed for Internet domain hijackings that took at least brief control over some major Web domains. Beginning Saturday, an unidentified individual began attempts, some successful, to seize control over domains including major Web hosting service Exodus, Web standards body World Wide Web Consortium and Emory University. And all the misappropriation required was a simple spoofing of email addresses.
The only good thing about it was getting my name in Wired.
Seems in this case he was modifying his product to meet his customer's (Sam's Club) specification. Isn't that how the market works? It wouldn't seem odd at all if we were talking about software or a cam shaft.
The flame wars back in the day were between sixers and eighters. TRS-80 & CP/M vs C64 & Apple folks, and even before that was the Altair & IMSAI vs SWTPC & AIM-65 people. The main difference was a Harvard vs Von Neumann architecture design in the CPU.

That would be decimating!
I refuse to make declarative statements about topics where I know that I only know a couple of things about.
I only can wish that people commenting on politics or the economy (or almost anything) would follow this rule.
Hairy,
They were talking about a post under yours.
Thanks for the ninite link, it will help me build my mom's box.
Now please take you meds.

Give me the info and I'll take care of it.
I want my own drone to take out red-light cameras.
Travel back to 1995 and you're golden. Anyone that knew what a three-finger-salute was got $50k/yr starting.
We would play a game with my grey where we would touch his tail and say "Got yer tail!"
On day my wife walks past him and he pecks her butt and says "got yer tail!" and cracks up laughing.
Mostly they are like living with a 3 year old. One with a very sharp beak that likes to chew things.
..will not be surrendered without a fight.
Seconday use by hams. Primary by US Government. And "Above Line-A" it's not even available for hams, or near various Air Force installations.
The ARRL might bitch a bit if 433MHz is taken away, but hams, generally being law and FCC regulation abiding folks, will follow the band plan.
Agree.

I do the same thing when I bypass my microwave oven door safety switch. I'm still trying for that 13cm EME contact!
Yeah, if you're breaking FCC regulations, you should be signing as MM0YEQ/W7!
Part 15, maybe?
Part 90 (Land/Mobile) and Part 97 (Amateur) have a lot of medium to high power transmitters in that range.
Surely you meant: tcsh tcsh.
So you say crowdsourcing his scooter watching is a bad thing? You just have to spin it right.
Get a ham license, an old 2m handheld and a GPS puck.

That's a Rockwell chip. Mot was 6800.
Fine by me as long as they sell the porn scenes on the open market.
(Of course, the drivers will have to play 70s hump music on the radio.)
Note that I did NOT shy away from the term when (back in the dot-boom days) Amazon hired me as a "Senior Network Engineer" for six figures.
Note also that I'm a high school drop-out.
Network Engineer - anyone that has configured BGP.
As a geek I've never been so conflicted.
"No, the DHS must be de-activated because it is in 100% opposition of the US Constitution."
You do realize that ICE (border control) is part of DHS. So no bitching about the "illegals" now.
So, will Nest chop and haul wood for me too? I'd be all down with that.
