Novus Ordo Seclorum does not mean "New World Order".
It means something along the lines of "New Order of the Ages". It is used in various places (such as on our money) to signify the beginning of the American Era.
I will agree with you that FM IBOC has some promise. But AM IBAC sounds terrible! I'd rather listen to the pops and hisses in the background of an analog AM signal than put up with the low bitrate artifacting of the digital stream. To me, it's like fingernails on chalkboard.
That's just me though. I'm not part of the iPod generation yet, so I haven't gotten used to the artifacting...
It gets even better than that. Pick up an AMAX compliant radio (such as a Sony SRF-A100) and find an AM radio station that's actually broadcasting in C-QUAM stereo. There are a few around. It'll knock your socks off.
The fact is, though, a lot people do listen to radio stations from beyond the protected contour. The fact the FCC defines this as non-interference is sidestepping reality.
Many of us have been calling it IBAC, In-Band-Adjacemt Channel (because that's where the digital sidebands actually are).
OK, I've heard samples of "HD" AM band radio. It sounds like a low bitrate mp3. "High Definition", my arse!
AM stations are supposed to shut off the IBAC after dark, because of the interference issues. Sometimes they forget. WOAI 1200, for example, was throwing its hissy fit all night long last night, wiping out reception on adjacent channels...
I hope they force all domains hosted in China to use the new Chinese TLDs. As I have no reason whatsoever to accept email from China, it'll make it that much easier to filter Chinese hosted spam...
Other than the tax, what's the difference between CDR-audio and CDR-data disks? Is there any real difference? If not, why would anyone bother with CDR "audio" discs?
I knew there was something evil about milk! We should ban it immediately! It occurs to me that virtually 100% of heroin addicts and hardened criminals started out on milk...
Well, actually, it was my dad's. He bought it and assembled it, us kids used it to play Star Trek on the TV Typewriter. Actually there was something wrong with the TV Typewriter, so we knew the game as "Star Vrek".
The first computer that was MINE, ALL MINE! was an Atari 800. I also had a Sinclair ZX-80, an Atari 520 STm, and a TRaSh-80.
My dad still has the IMSAI stored somwhere under a pile of Kilobaud, DDJ, and Byte magazines.
I'd rather work at the office. If I worked at home, my wife would be bugging me all day to do all kinds of crap around the house... I'd never be productive!

Thank you. Yes, I agree that such depictions of Jesus would probably be controversial. But you seem to have missed my deeper point about cutting where it (really and truely) hurts..

...SCOTUS has agreed to hear the case?
Now, THAT's scary...
... to sue Microsoft for making a secure OS?
NOBODY! ('cause it won't happen)
Hey, doesn't the Broken Windows fallacy fit in here somewhere?

Bzzzzt!

Lies! All Lies!
Most HD radio stations are broadcasting exactly the same content as what's on thaeir analog stream, commercials and all.
And the bitrate is nowhere near as high as digital satellite radio. AM IBAC uses 36kbps! And it sounds like it, too.
It was always wrong, anyway.

Try here. Way cool place to spend the summer. It looks like they even hire high school students for internships.

No, it's spelled, "Challah", which contains the string of letters in question...

Not to mention JTAG cables and those stupid dongles that EDA software insists upon..
Momma told me software was created by Flying Spaghetti Monster...
I'd rather hunt with Cheney than ride with Kennedy...
It's a little early for April Fools Day pranks, ain't it?

I'm waiting till they go all the way up to 11!
