How about having the students get their Amateur licenses and write programs for things like sending web pages over packet, or using a sound card as a packet or psk31 modem. Not only would they learn about programming, they would learn about communications too. This also tries to make up for the fact that computer science is taught in High School, but not engineering. I bet some of the ham gear makers would donate equipment for a project like this.
Heard in the Suck board room: "Page views were down 50% last month what are we going to do?" "We need slashdotted, that will keep us alive" "How? What can we write about that will get our article on/. CmdrTaco hates everything we submit." "How about we kill Mozilla." "Perfect!"
5.2 allows you to pick what you want to install. However, the crappy highspeed connection known has Roadrunner trashes about 20% of my downloads so I still haven't got it to work. Guess I'll have to burn a cd at work.
While surfing around the CBS web site I found this link which shows a script for a future version of Survivor. It would seem that the cast aways find themselves trapped at the Microsoft campus when their VW bus is run off the road by an obnoxious guy with the license plate "vb rulz" (Bill Gates???). They are then led through a wild trip and discover that Microsoft employees have all been transformed into oompa loompas.
At least if you are going to quote someone you could name the source. Seems to me this was from a song I heard by Moxy Fruvis (sp?), not sure if they wrote it however.
All of there software is written by programmers who have never ever been outside the Microsoft campus. With no experience in the real world, other peoples standards mean nothing to them and, since they believe they are on the bleeding edge of technology, whatever they do should be the standard.
I do agree that the morse code test is silly if you don't want to use the code. However, I don't see that the no-code VHF license has done anything to modernize the amateur service. There was never any influx of young people into the amateur ranks and those young people who did join in the early 90's are older now and have either quit or don't use their license and will let them expire. Watch next year as the number of no-code licenes drop.
No-Code International has done nothing good for the Amateur service and you Bruce Perens should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that it has.
I for one will not slow down for a 5 wpm extra class operator in the extra class cw sub-bands.
Actually the W2K market will grow, but for all the wrong reasons. Companies stuck with the windows solution will have to keep adding more and more and bigger and bigger servers as they fall deeper and deeper into Microsoft hell hole. While companies using Unix/Linux will just add some ram, add drive space, and HUP some daemons.
I get -1 sorry off topic and you get a 2. I agree with your sig. So moderate me down.
Anyway, maybe every first post should be the DeCSS source code.....ooops off topic again..... now what were we talking about? Oh yea netscape, the story of how someone took someone elses code, made some money, and sold out to AOL of all things. My god....AOL....the "you've got mail" idiots. Now what was the AOL keyword for slashdot....oh yea..."first post".
Read a story in the local newspaper about them having problems with their internet site and them having to limit the number of users. Of course they do use NT, so they have a history of making poor choices.
I wonder how many of the sites that have problems use NT? Several weeks ago, I read an article about how ToysRus was having problems and had to limit the number of users on their site at any given time. Guess what OS....yep NT.
Andersen comments: All you AC people out there (the newbiees that is). Your getting screwed. AC is charging you out at > $250/hour and you're getting shit. Don't buy into their "AC is family" bullshit and get out while the getting is good. AC will suck you dry.
And to all the companies that are using AC....suckers you are getting screwed. Andersen misrepresents its consultants as experienced when the most experience they have is through training at the boot camp in St. Charles IL.
Why doesn't slashdot add a feature to posting so that the first person to read an article will get a big banner saying "YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO READ THIS ARTICLE. WE HAVE AUTOMATICALLY MADE A FOOL OF YOU AND POSTED AN I AM THE FIRST POST MESSAGE FOR YOU".
cuz I have lost so much time trying to get the first post on slashdot. And I'm suing cmdrtaco and hemos for all the stupid stories I've had to read (repeatitive eye injury). I'm also suing because Slashdot doesn't have anywhere I can use my credit card.
Get your wavelengths right. 1.8-2.0 MHz is 160m and 3.5 to 4.0 MHz is 80m/75m (40m is 7.0-7.3 MHz). A good write up on removing harmful interference can be found here on the 160m mailing list (watch out if you join, the list admin is a real asshole). There is also a email list on this sight specifically for RFI. I also think ADSL is cool. The cable companies are screwed (especially for business) because they can't gurantee uptime or bandwidth.

I for one find it very scary that in a case like this a judge might not be thinking about freedom of speech.
Just because it is on-line should it be treated any different? Legally the internet should be treated no differently then radio,tv,cable,books etc.

The 31st way is to place a fart machine in the casket and make the corpse fart. "True Story by the way".

You should have checkout 2 meters. I was hearing stations from New England via Au around 144.200 cw. And that was with a mobile antenna!

This site has great links to solar information. The solar flux for the past 24 hours has been up to 232, about the highest I've seen for this cycle.

Sounds like a security hole waiting to happen.

If you know someone who works at priceline.com you can buy and if you don't like what you get have them cancel it for you.
Other then this trick, the only way to play is to see what everybody else is offering and try to save a few bucks at priceline.com.
