I don't know if small planes are much more polluting than cars.. yes, per hour they put out more pollution, but you're also going twice as fast, in a straight line, as opposed to a car following roads..
Cost per mile in a 172 I fly is approx. $.45/mi. Cars aren't much less, but take much longer to cover the same distance.
It was built by Amateurs. Look at the weight.. about 60 lbs. NASA will include amateur satellites if they need alittle extra ballast with the real satellite being launched.
Its very rare that just an amateur satellite gets launched on its own. They're usually small enough to be used for ballast, or they "tag along" with one that has extra room on the rocket.
well, I work in Roseville (where this guy says he's at). I'd love to get to see this collection, snap afew pictures and post them. I may have to drop him a note..
It isn't the hams problem. In the US, ham operators can run home-brew non-FCC approved equipment. As someone else mentioned, check the back on most electronic equipment. It has a notice that you have to accept any interfearance. Hams are not responsible for interfearance they cause, but we will help lessen the effect if possible, and if approached nicely.
I do run an amateur radio station and run into this all the time. I interfere with peoples TV's when I transmit over a certain power on certain frequency bands. that's life. Your TV reciever is too cheap to filter out the strong signal coming from my equipment, which is overpowering the signal from the TV station.
I've also had it the other way, where a neighbor had a device interfering with my equipment.. their microwave was leaking, but they wouldn't fix/get rid of it. After a letter from the FCC, that they didn't answer, acouple of nice men in black suits showed up, siezed her microwave, and fined her afew hundred dollars for having an unlicensed transmitter.
thank you! I was about to post something about this. A private company has the right to censor. If a company censors a point of view you don't like, you go to another company. If the government censors you, its much harder to move to a new government, which is why they can't.
"If you BUY a FUCKING handgun, then you at least have to FUCKING admit the possibility that you are going to shoot someone"
he didn't say he wasn't admitting it, but you can't assume every gun will be used to shoot someone. I'm in a pistol league. I shoot twice a week. Will I ever shoot anyone? probably not. You're assuming every gun will be used for something illegal. Far from the truth.
I don't know how anyone can do it for less than thawte. Just based on the comments already here (bandwidth, hosting, verification of identity, insurance), that's a steal in my eyes. If you're setting up an SSL server, you need to be ready to pay alittle bit for that extra security.
I've also looked at something similar, as I run a company thinking about becoming a CA. The easiest way to do it is work with thawte and they will sign your issuing certificate for $100,000. That'll get you into all the major browsers immediately. If someone had the up front capitol, and charged $100/cert, they could make it back pretty quickly, and then some.
It doesn't use GSM. It uses the RAM data network run by Bell Atlantic (at least I believe they own it all now). It won't work outside the US, unless they have other models developed that will.
there will be height restrictions. They'll make sure of that. It'll require type-accepted equipment and you'll have to get a license so you don't interfere with other licensed stations.
I'm sure they'll also require a full engineering report on the antenna site to verify the above.
The guy in the salon article considered the IPO invitation his reward for programming for the open source community. I don't think it should be looked at anything like that. He got his reward by helping others. He even says he enjoys the feeling of knowing others are using his software. I read these articles and see guys scraping together acouple thousand dollars to participate, and how hard it was to do this. If you can't afford to lose the money, IPO's are not for you. RedHat should do well, but there are no guarantees.
you do know it was done with linux tools running under FreeBSD's linux emulation, right? The director/special effects guy didn't want linux run on any of the machines because he was a FreeBSD zealot, so they used linux tools under emulation.
(no. I don't remember the URL where I saw this.. I believe it was on/. however..)
MacMillan does use an outside company for support of their distros. They did a better job for the last version (5.2) and are working harder to provide help for this Mandrake distro. There isn't any additional $$$ for support. I don't even think you can buy more support from romnet.
I have DirecTV and love it. My parents cable company recently went under and I looked at them all for them. They were looking for the most bang for the buck. DirecTV was it. They have it now too and love it.
If you have the space, however, look at a big dish. Programming is cheeper, more choices, more choices in places to buy your programming (competition is a good thing), and it looks damn impressive;) If I had the space, I'd go that route.
According to this St Paul paper article, the did get the whole film, and are now feeling guilty. They contacted investigators via an attorney to return it for misdemeanor charges.
in order to communicate with the current web browsers, it has to use RSA. I tried working around it for quite awhile and gave in and bought a RSA license and started selling my server. With a server available for under $100, its hard for someone going into e-commerce to not justify the expense.

I have an aibo and he's my little buddy. You can turn them off when you need some quiet, but they're always happy to see ya.
they do require alittle bit of attention, but pretty much any pet does.

They're a smaller provider.. Run linux on their main servers. Shell accounts provided and they have dialups around the country. hockey net
They do offer shell only for $10/mo.

more power. Remember, if you have your ham license, you can run up to 1500 watts.
Of course, you have the commercial and no-encryption rules to contend with as well.

you can get almost the same thing for $79.00 from Ma cmillan Software
A client already exists.. It was released with Netbackup 3.2.. As far as a server, I'll leave that to the rumor mill yet..
Backup Exec isn't going anywhere for awhile either.
Netbackup is a cool product.. yes spendy, but it does everything under the sun.
(yes, I work for veritas, so I may be biased)
