Once the position of the taps for the secondary winding and the plug aerial tuning inductance are located, no further adjustment is required (unless, obviously, some change in the antenna is made).
On the stereo in my van, the selected button has its backlight slightly brighter than the others - although it does also show the memory number, frequency and RDS data on the display on the dashboard.
It's a button like the row on the front of a radio, where you can select one preset radio station by pressing a button. Only one button can be selected at a time.
All the time here people are drivelling on about the "privacy violations" of shopping in a big chain store and paying for it with their credit card which lets the stores build up a picture of their buying habits.
I suppose these are also the same people I see wandering around the streets in stained clothing screaming "STOP LOOKING AT ME! STOP LOOKING AT ME!" to nobody that the rest of us can see.
Maybe God created everything by sparking off the Big Bang. Maybe God created everything ten minutes ago, styled to look as though it had been around for uncountable millenia (well, about 14 thousand million years). Maybe God did it for the lulz.
Well, for one thing I didn't say *anything* about Windows - I haven't a clue what Windows does because I haven't used it.
If you wipe the drive with some drive-wiping software, it's a pretty reasonable assumption that it will wipe every sector that is physically writeable.
That's still the case - if a car is stolen there's really only a narrow window of opportunity to put it on ANPR before it ends up burnt out on a canal bank somewhere. When my sister's car was stolen, the police added it to ANPR within an hour or so, but it didn't show up because it didn't pass any cameras before it was parked up (she found it about half a mile away from her house, mostly undamaged, a week later).
The "yellow vulture" average speed cameras keep track of registration numbers for about an hour longer than it takes to drive through the whole set of cameras. This is because you might turn off between cameras, or break down on the road and be trailered off.
It's more to do with how the timing mechanism works. If you devise a speed camera to measure a "sensible" range then at some point you're going to have something that's too slow or too fast to measure accurately.
GATSO-type cameras work by taking two photographs a certain interval apart, with the speed of the car as measured by Doppler RADAR printed on the frames. To verify that the electronic measurement is accurate, the distance the car travels can be measured between the two photos because there are stripes painted on the road.
Now, if you go so fast that you run off the end of the stripes before the second photograph is taken, your speed cannot be verified - but you *are* clearly going far too fast (the TV show Top Gear experimented with this and found that above 160mph or so, the cameras don't trigger correctly).
So, there's a video, with someone you say is you and someone you say is Richard Dawkins.
I can go to the church along the road and sit with a bunch of people who swear up and down that Jesus is right there in the room with them. It still doesn't prove anything one way or the other.
Face it, you've no way to prove that Dawkins exists.
Most people don't care about "customising" their distro. They want to get work done.
If you want to spend all your time glueing fake plastic spoilers and splitters to your car and adding fancy glowy neons, then fine. Once I've got the seat adjusted and the radio tuned, I'm quite happy to leave the rest alone and get on with the fun bit.
I'd consider myself a pretty experienced Linux user, having been using it since it came on two HD floppies. I use Ubuntu, and keep hearing people going on about "oh Ubuntu is for n00bs, only n00bs use it, use $other_distro because you get more control of what gets installed".
I don't care about controlling what gets installed. I want to take a bare OS-less machine and have it up and running with the minimum of hassle. If I'm spending time watching pages and pages of compiler output scroll past, I'm not having fun and I'm wasting time - and more importantly, I'm not getting *real paying work done*.
So, fine, if you want to *play* then stick with distros that take two hours to install to a basic command prompt and ask you all kinds of pointless questions about how you want/opt/srv/lib/ formatted. If you actually want to get stuff done and learn about Linux, stick to the "easy to install" distros.
I'm sure someone suitably skilled could implement a USB keyboard version with a cheap off-the-shelf microcontroller board, a bit of 3D printing for the button bracket, and a certain amount of programming.
Damn near everybody that's committed a terrorist offence in the UK has been white (and funded by US republicans, but that's another story). How is racial profiling going to help, there?
I don't think I've watched "live" TV in about 15 years. These days if there's anything I want to watch, I'll get it on iPlayer or grab a torrent, at a time that is convenient for me.

How do you tune the radio in your car?

the only way you're getting 54 MPG is with a motorcycle.
Or a large car with a 2.5 litre turbodiesel engine. Seriously, 54mpg is about normal these days.
Get rid of the wheezy, underpowered petrol engines. They suck. There are no good new cars powered by petrol.

I'm not sure what makes you think that. Why wouldn't wiping a drive wipe the bootsector? Why wouldn't reinstalling rewrite the bootsector?
Same as for any other compromised machine.
I remember those silly arguments, most of us grew out of them though.
So you agree that saying "I can't see God therefore God does not exist" is silly?

Typical of the true believers - you can't dispute the facts so you try to silence people who don't buy into your faith ;-)

Can you prove it? You *say* he showed up, but where's your evidence?
It's quite brave of you to say that here. Now watch the people who "know" Richard Dawkins exists flame you into the middle of next week.
I don't really believe either Jesus or Dawkins existed. The burden of proof is you lot.
Heavy, expensive and thirsty. They only get about 45mpg, which for a car that size is frankly pathetic.
I really hope my bank details *are* on the list.
Perhaps then some random Nigerian general or doctor or prince or whatever will pay off my overdraft.

Looks like it's the air conditioner drain, but don't let that stop you getting your Jingoism on ;-)

Clearly, most terrorists have been (ostensibly) Christians, either Protestant or Catholic.
There's been one not-very-effective terrorist attack in the UK by Islamists.
One of these...
