    You're just spoiling a good thread here! The truthiness of the /. summary is so much more truthie than TFA's "truth."

    I'll have to submit this to some of the ham radio boards. I bet those guys never thought of putting an antenna high in the air!

    Sashsaquch (Skookum, Big Foot, etc.) seems to imply he's from the Pacific Northwest(US)/Southwest(CDN). From the spelling I'm guessing he's the son of a truck driver from Surrey.

    ..strap on a sidearm and defend their country..

    And how many Sihk cab drivers do we have to lose because some side-armed redneck thought they were a towelhead A-rab?

    *the use of stereotypical terms in this post was a mistakenly vain attempt at satire. No rednecks were harmed in the production of this post.

    There is a new 12VDC connection system being used by ham radio geeks that seems to fit your ticket: http://www.andersonpower.com/

    Distance is still a problem.. why do you think that you have a big fat wire on your car battery? A lot of car manufactures are looking at using 47v or something for cars in the near future to reduce the weight of wire in cars.

    The machine I used it on was Steve Kaynor's in Yakima, WA. As far as I know, he's still using UniFlex for his shop (Digital Services, Inc.)

    I hate to say it but they were a real dog in their day. 16 bit CPU but the interals ran all the data as serial. The VIC-20 ran circles around it. And did you ever try to homebrew an interface for it? Impossible! I will say that they had the nicer font of any back then.

    Not flame, genuine curiosity from a 45 year old veteren: OK, am I the only one who has grown weary of the "oh well, another month, another insane death toll" state of mind in which US Senators and Concgessmen seem to be willing to accept? Why do people just accept this, I understand a few deaths, and maybe a SINGLE large scale slaughter in something as commonplace as War, but this crap is just outright crazy now-a-days. Republicans would never accept this kind of slaughter from, for example, progessives, moderates, and so on, so why do they "just take" this seeminly half-assed planned war from neo-cons with glee?

    That may be but I did cancel my cable and subscribed to Netflix. I find myself reading more and have a much more relaxed and quiet home to come to at the end of the day. The only problem is that now, with the lack of ads, I'm not quite sure what I need to buy anymore.

    Even before I had Netflix I had stopped using the BB a few blocks away in favor of a mom&pop a few miles away.
