And both will be picked up not just by your listeners, but by the stations that are monitoring *your* station as one of their required 2. They'll report that you didn't forward if the FCC asks them, and when the inspector comes around to look at your logs of transmitted EAS tests and you have nothing to show, he'll walk out with your license. And most of your equipment.
lol, no station in their right mind would monitor my station for anything other than sheer entertainment value. and our experience is that the FCC pretty much leaves you alone unless you hook your transmitter to railroad tracks or jury rig a second transmitter in another state via phone lines (true stories. note to self: when operating a pirate radio station, do not do station identifications.)
seriously, though, that station may be in violation of fcc rules, but my point still stands: the EAS system is not a demonic plot to suddenly and permanently seize control of the whole radio broadcast spectrum as a means of spreading government propaganda. our ability to fuck up the EAS stuff only makes my point for me.
they weren't in Iraq, but I'm glad the Weapons of Mass Destruction were finally located. Crafty of Saddam to put them on Mars... Hans Blix would have never guessed there.
FEMA boxes in every radio and television station in the land allow Washington to take control of all of the media in the entire country with the flip of a single switch. The individual broadcasting stations cannot bypass the FEMA equipment; the best they can do is to just shut off the transmitter and stop broadcasting completely.
that's BS. my college radio station was only required by the FCC to have the equipment on hand and receiving alerts. and if you did have it hooked up to your transmitter, most alerts you could schedule yourself within a 15 minute window. and you *couldn't* just flip off your transmitter, because intermittent operation would get your license revoked by the FCC. and if a particular radio station wanted to rebel and remove their equipment, it's about as difficult as removing your VCR from between your cable box and TV.
F.Y.I. The worst you could do to a microwave by putting metal inside is break the magnatron, and when it breaks, it will just die, not explode or any cool shit like that.
that sort of depends on what the metal is near. if it's near anything that could melt, then that will get damaged, too. i once nuked a Bodum coffee carafe trying to heat water in it in the microwave in my dorm because there was a screw embedded in the plastic handle. i was able to put it in the microwave for a year, then one day, boom (well it was probably more like a slow burn) and the plastic handle melted everywhere and pretty much ruined the carafe.
i think "no coffee" in college is worse than a blown magnatron, apparently.:)
Hip hop "artists" are notorious for copying others' ideas. Jay Z is particularly bad. His latest album is called "The Black Album." Oh so original. If only those pirating bastards in Metallica hadn't released a "black album" (unofficial title of course) years before.
or the beatles' "White Album" decades before that. come to think of it, naming an album "White Album" or "Black Album" isn't exactly creative to begin with.
i'm going to release an album called "The Music Album" and make millions!
someone mod this down.. it's just plain wrong. the PPC family is WAY bigger than what Apple uses. plus, Apple still uses the G4 family chips from Motorola in most of their product lines.
crap, i modded you down as overrated when i meant to mod you UP as underrated. posting to this thread to undo my faulty moderations (i can imagine i'm going to get modded down for this, but i was just trying to do the "right thing.")
The space station, which could have been truly great, ended up being something classically accomplished by committee.
how many space stations have been built by just one person? is it even a viable idea? if so, i'd like to be one... a space station maven, i'd like to be called.:)
i guess i can't speak directly to your info. it seems to be positive. but offering modest funding increases while grossly increasing the mandate of an organization seems to be a Bush tactic:
unfortunately, the funding was nowhere near enough to send someone to Mars. which means Nasa has to cut other programs to keep up with the Bush mandate. this precipitated the Hubble Space Telescope announcement recently.
it's not clear that this wasn't a means of hamstringing NASA in the long run...
Whats worse is running multimedia on Java. My fourth wife was asked to be a part of this project, but declined mostly due to it containing java (the other part was it never gave us time together, which we needed, because we were trying to have a baby and needed 'baby making time'. She doesn't like doing it in the light, so we could only do it at night, and the job took a lot of night hours away that could be better spent on working on getting pregnant. And, funny as it may sound, she left me before I could knock her up, so maybe she should have taken the job). Multimedia programs should involve assembly or C. Programs that won't take the speed nor memory away from the multimedia that needs it.
somoeone *had* to quote that for posterity... how does bonking your (fourth?? are they leavin ya, or are you in Nevada?) wife have to do with this??/p?
you wouldn't be giving them kudos if you had much experience talking to their tech support. given my success rate, i'd assume their stuff is down about 30% of the time. usually, i'll come off a long wait on hold, tell a very paitent phone tech my problem, and they'll come back with, "sorry, our system is down. can you call back later?"
something tells me they need to go with an outside vendor.:)

if the Hubble isn't a good example of how NASA just got hamstringed, i'm sure another will turn up.

That guy can fuck anything up, given a decent chance.

this article is about last mile VoIP. does Telus offer that? missing the point, are you?
