I grew up in central Washington State; i.e: desert. If you're worried about saving the desert then I'd be a bit more upset about Hanford, the Yakima Training Center and, well, Yakima itself.
It has nothing to do with privacy, and everything to do with the fact that nobody wants to sit in a tin can listening to some guy talk for 2 hours about his hemorrhoids and digestive problems.
We're talking about cell phones here, not ham radio.
Shit. Because of some stupid shit I did back in 1987 with a Commadore64 I can't legally enter VE7land. Not that this stops me much (I spent my honeymoon in Victoria) but it bugs me. It's been years since I've visited Canada and I miss it. I haven't tried since some Afghans messed-up NYC, etc. And if Camano Island wasn't there, I could see Canada from my deck.
I do get more hassle getting back into the US though... They have my number: 10780-074.
I may be 21 but sometimes I feel like an "old fogey"
Trust me, if you're 21 (and in fair health) you do not feel like an "old fogey". Just wait 25 years and you'll understand what I'm talking about. If you wake up in the morning and nothing hurts.. you'll know you've died.
I think that the UN has a few more important things to worry about than spam.
GENEVA, June 2 (Reuters) - The U.N. refugee agency said on Friday that it was starting an airlift of shelter and other aid to East Timor, where an estimated 100,000 people have been uprooted by violence and looting...
I guess that's why I like old Motorola two-way radios instead of the normal consumer crap that is now sold to most hams. Hearing stories about tech having to clean out scalp tissue from cop Handi-Talkies used as nightsticks makes me think that most YaeKenCom stuff is not upto the job (I will admit the Yaesu VX-5R does make a nice rock.) And a mobile radio that was so big that it couldn't be mounted under the dash of a Crown Vic so that it had to be mounted in the trunk (Syntor) sure beats the outdated consumer crap the Kenwood sells.

You mean like sending money to KBR and Halliburton for jack?

Er, like Haliburton, Tyco, et al? It's WHOS foreign companies that make the difference.
And do you shower more than once a month? Oh, I forgot, this is a slashdotter we're taling about.
Salon's "Ask The Pilot" actually brings up this point in his current artilcle.

"Wait, if my laptop is at flight level 350, which end of the network is "down"?"
The landing part.
Then you're old enough to remember the ORIGINAL Mission Impossible, when they would take 2-4 shows to tell one story. That was some good TV.

Maybe he's running it as part 95?
His email must be web based ;)
Yeah, I remember something I used back in '95... it was called BGP.
You've never been in charge of a 100 racks of porn servers. Thank the goddess for FreeBSD!
It never stopped me when I was 18 in Biloxi as an Airman Zip at KAFB. I never got carded, on or off base.
Damn! I was wondering where that got too!
Not to mention what those DLP TV's do to an HF rig! Almost total QRM!

Something like +70% of US citizens want US troops out of Iraq. So, it's not counterculture to protest the war.. it's countermedia.
Being a computer bound, lazy geek, this scares the crap out of me!
On more (kind of) coincidence: whois nethead.org.uk.
Now you have me wondering about the jo-ham name.

Perspective, people.
