Damn! When I was at KAFB back in 1979 I was surprised that they were still talking about Camille 10 years later. Now here we are 48 years later still telling stories.
What the hell measurements are you talking? Those sound like science words. Real 'mericans in the South use that side of the ruler as a file.
I can truly say that Biloxi is one town I never wanted to go back to.
Although I'm global IT for an international aerospace firm my office is above a shipping and receiving warehouse (long story.) We ship large crates (could be used for homeless housing, god knows I've had apartments about that size) full of airliner cabin parts all over the world. The trucks that pick them up, mostly FedEx, are short cab with 30' trailers, all local. If these guys can rack up more than 200 miles a day in Seattle/Everett area traffic I would be amazed. The Tesla range is perfect for this use. There are a lot of these out there. Even the can haulers (containers) from BC going to Seattle/Tacoma are in this range one-way.
With traffic SEA -> PDX is about 5-7 hours. It sucks now. Wee hours maybe 4-5 hours. The other weekend it took me 3.5 hours to get from Everett to Olympia.
I'm just looking to find a nice alt-center group that wants to meet on weekends and discuss home brewing and Doctor Who. Maybe we could gather with TIKI lamps and have a bar-b-que with lawn chairs and what-not.
Exactly. The last time I upgraded a CPU on a mother board was to move from a 25MHz '486 to a 66MHz one. Anything less than 5 years old is fast enough for most cases. Spend the money on an SSD or more RAM.
My new Outback with EyeSight won't let me do that. If it sees a wall in front of the car it will just turn off the gas pedal, no go for you. Just think how many hair salons (it's always a hair salon) this will save!
Exactly! I experience the same thing going from my Outback with EyeSight ACC to my old Ranger. My 2017 Outback is fully loaded with all options, a dream to drive. My 2007 Ranger is bog fleet, no options at all. I really have to remind myself to pay attention now driving the truck.
Yep, same thing that happened to me a few weeks ago. I was lucky that I had just a month before got a debit card from my retirement program (very respected non-profit firm) that I had put a few hundred on just in case I lost my wallet. It was nice to have another card for the week it took to get the new main card. I suggest checking to see if your retirement firm has something like that available. One other plus for me is that the retirement card is interest bearing, not much, but enough to not have to worry about a few hundred sitting there.
You too! I did that back in '85 with a Code-a-Phone. Mostly because I was using the TelTone chip to detect SIT for the telemarketing machines we were making. (Wygant Scientific) Our first systems were using a hacked version of Commodore BASIC on a 65C02P4. TelTone had a nice set of chips that would detect call progress tones (ring, busy, etc.), DTMF and SIT. Lots of fun to play with.
Back in the old answering machine days I had recorded a message of the SIT tones and the phone company recording of "I'm sorry the number you have dialed is disconnected..."
My friends knew to let it play through twice and then they could leave a message, got me off of a lot of telemarketer lists.
That is called operational security. If they recorded the transmission they could then take their time to decode it, but they wouldn't be prepared to do that in real time. They use that for like SWAT teams where if the info came out at a later date it wouldn't upset the operation. Various voice inversion with stepping code fall into that category.
For more secure comms they use a digital P25 format with DES3 or AES that takes the decode process up to the Three Letter Agency level. Think DEA and internal investigation use.
Last year on ebay I picked up three UHF Motorola MT2000 handheld radios with encryption that were surplus from the CHiP SWAT team for about $300. Secure professional comms are available at an affordable price if you study a bit and look around. You may have to do a bit of hacking to get them to your frequencies of choice, but all that info is out there (batlabs.com). Granted I've been hacking Motorola radios for decades but the bar isn't that high. I also have 800MHz Jedi (yes, that is what the internal name for the series is at Motorola) radios that 'work' on both King (Seattle) and Snohomish (Everett) county system that I bought for under $100 each. The hacking and purchase (knowing the exact firmware version) of those radios are a bit more complicated but it can be done. Sometimes the hardest part is finding a working '286 DOS computer.
(Legal Notice: The encrypted radios are only used on my firms licensed IM channels and I have a letter and assigned UID from the DEM radio officers for the trunking radios.)

[snark] Too bad it's 56 years of fake science, who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes? [/snark]

Dang! I live up on the rez in Tulalip and only get 25/3 Mb/s.
Still remember downloading porn pix at 9600 baud, waiting for the nipples.

Just to be a jerk I'll mention the IPv6 EUI-64 format address. That is layer 3, or as layer 3 as IP gets.
That's why you're seeing crap like what happened in Charlottesville. Folks don't know what to do.
I don't think that becoming a Nazi is really the answer.

Well, we once had a policy of, "The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi."*
*Unless they were a rocket scientist.
Good research, Bill.
I thought we lead in Subaru purchases.

Isn't that called the Fairhaven Solution?
Crazy by Patsy Cline was the on we used when the automation went wonkers. 2:52 to figure out what went wrong.
I'm thinking the hacker is hitting the STL (Studio Transmitter Link) which in the US is often at 951MHz which an old mobile radio can hit.

Every time we get on a plane, Will, every time.
I owe my soul, to the company store.

10GB wire? You mean those 3m SFP copper cables? Switches every 10 feet?
Just yanking your chain old 93.
They demonstrated that they want more grants from the British government.
