Guess I hit a nerve, but the fact remains consumer electronics are for the most part these days junk. Crappy circuit boards, marginal components. I work in the industry I know.
I think it is something like 30 microvolts/m. It is actually really small and they don't want it to extend beyond 30 feet (or was it meters) lol. What they forget is that hams have receivers are sensitive to ver small signals on the order of.15 microvolts. Not exact but that will give you an idea that 30 microvolts is LOUD. I'm going to be listening this winter when the atmospheric noise is very low and I'll bet I'll be able to hear some BPL signals. (If the shit is still on).
What about BPL? Everything I read says BPL is going to save us. That it will even make the electrical grid more reliable. BPL? Anybody? Hello? (crikets chirping)
Does your CEO need a new boat, you should be willing to take a 20% salary reduction. So what if you have 6 kids to feed, you have a job and your superior needs a new boat on which entertain others members of the ruling class. You will just have to eat a bit more mac&cheese and raman noodles for the next several years until the CEO sees fit to bump your salary up a few fractions of a percent.
You should be willing to do anything for the corporate bottom line. Anything...
You are wrong. Channel one is somewhere around 50-54MHz which is the Amateur Radio 6 meter band. You can work the world on 6 meters during certain parts of the sun spot cycle with very little power. Not good for broadcasting.
Fist BPL, now this. The people in Washington are just loose cannons. None of these people understand the engineering behind the decisions they are making and therefore their decisions make know sense. This is only going to create chaos in the RF spectrum and it is going to lead too chaos in the market place. Imagine this. You buy brand X wireless router, but it doesn't work. Your friend's in the next state say, it works fine for us. Best buy has mass returns for particular routers in particular cities. Why? Because brand X is close in frequency to the 1MW erp HDTV broadcast transmitter and it's IF on a chip can't handle the overload. Lets have some discipline folks. This so called broadband uber alles is not going to be pretty.
There are things I do and use in Linux that are un-supported in Windows. Ever try to run a DOS application that uses the hardware clock under Windows? It don't work, while under Linux and dosemu the same app works great.
Using things like "Project X" is part of the problem. Just come out and say what the problem is and what the problems with it our otherwise trying to extrapalate your nit-picks with "Project X" to all open source problems is just going to fall on deaf ears.
Is to create questions in the CIO's head about open source and software updates in an attempt to make open source look bad. Remember it was just a little while ago that Bill Gates told all the crackers the only security holes they found were from reading security patches.
What planet are you from? MS Word intuitive? MS Word functional? Are you sure you were using MS Word? Have you ever tried to do a large document in Word, what a PITA.
So, computer manufacturers would be responsible if too much cat hair gets sucked into the PS and the computer fails. Sorry, computers aren't cars and I don't think that a typical elected official (I'm leaving Mr. Gore out of this list---we all know he invented the internet) can really understand the nature of electronics well enough to write legislation to protect consumers from poor business practices has well has a consumers ability to sue said manufacturer. Better that we equal up the sides so that said manufacturer can't protect himself with a wall of cash (and you all know of whom I speak of here). I for one am tired of corperations being treated as super individuals.

You have an apex dvd player or similar cheap comsumer electronic junk. All I can say is what did you expect?

and not 110%. Please don't extend it.

It really shows just how out of touch they are with the computing world outside of Microsoft.

We should also do away with the Police, transporation agency, dept of education, heck lets just get rid of it all and let capitalism sort it all out.
Just let me know before you do this, so I can stock up on guns, ammo, food and gas.
I'm going to patent the CW click. Clicking a button with a different morse code sequence will perform different functions.
The scale is logrithmic. Am is from 530 kHz to 1720 kHz. This is about 1.2 MHz.

Let's hope this kills BPL. After all why do you need wires when you can just send it through the air.
I need a /. brain checker... The last problems should be projects.

Their engineers must be pretty stupid if it took them 5 years to develop the cue:cat.
Inside Digital:Divergence.
Engineer: What's this funny plastic thing with the red cap and the two metal legs.
Engineer 2: I don't know, I'll have to look it up.
Sometime later.....
Engineer 2: I found it, it's an LED---Light emitting diode.
Engineer 1: Diode, I've heard of those somewhere.
Yep, 5 years folks.
Any Unix sysadm will tell you to that Bind is a big security hole. Got to watch the box it is running on all the time for crackers.
Why would anyone with any kind of engineering or science degree want to be an MCSE? That would be like going to grade school after college.
