And you forgot to mention that the first accident was preventable. An engineering coverup.
It wasn't an engineering coverup. We studied this intensively in college, and the engineers who designed the O-rings knew the temperatures at the lauch site were lower than the O-rings were tested at. In other words, the engineers weren't quite sure what would happened, but from the data they had, their inital recommendation was not to launch.
They informed NASA about this, but the adminstration was pressed to launch. The Challenger launch had been delay for months due to weather and other conditions and because it was a highly publicized launch for sending up a civilian. Eventually, enough pressure was placed for the engineers to change their recommendation and the launch went. (If one subcontractor of the Space Shuttle recommends a No Go, the entire launch is scrubbed. The subcontractors who made the O-rings were the ones holding up the launch.)
Anyway, there were many factors that lead to the disaster of the Challenger, all of which could have been avoided.
Actually, the people at the Prometheus Radio Project has developed what they call a studio transmitter link (available on SourceForge, imagine that!). Basically, the setup goes like this: there is one transmitter, and two studios. Each studio is alloted a certain amount of time in the day. The audio from the studios is streamed to the transmitter, which decides on what stream to use and broadcasts it over the airwaves.
It is not the cleanest setup, but it gets the job done. I would post a link to SourceForge but I keep getting the following error:
"We apologize, our search server is temporarily overloaded. Please wait and try your search again"
While the stl might not be exactly what the original poster was hoping for, it could be a good starting point to see how to do it (or how not to!!);-)
you are right. the FCC did grant a bunch of new licenses for low powered FM. but from what I understand, NAB and NPR petitioned Congress to apply more restrictions to the new frequencies. If you go to Prometheus Radio, they will have more information about this. The Promethus Radio Project helps communities set up their low powered radio stations.
Aren't we buying the hardware, and thus can do whatever we want with it. If not, can we return the hardware after we are done with it for a full refund?
"Yes, I've played all the games on the Playstation One. It was quite good. Can I have my money back now?"
It seems Sony is getting the best of both worlds. They sell us the hardware and they tell us what we can or can't do with it. Doesn't sound very fair use with me, even if a copy protection scheme is introduced.
I thought the patent holder was responsible to ensure no one was using their patent, if so, 17 years is a long time for it to go unchallenged. Or maybe I am thinking of the wrong thing.
How expensive is vegetable oil were you to go to the supermarket and pick up a vat? If I remember correctly, it's pretty expensive by the gallon (as compared to gas). Now, how much would it cost were the farming industry to shift and grow vegetables whose sole purpose is for oil?
*laugh* you are a bitter person aren't you? using all those forms of rthetoric to sway someone's opinion.
If you want a real cook or...not written by someone who is more interested in bragging about his thousands of dollars of computer equipment.
I find it amusing cause you could have gotten your point across much better without trying to discredit the author, as if having thousands of dollars of computer equipment somehow is a reflection of their cooking skills, or trying to influence others by saying in so many words "You can't be a REAL cook unless you read thie Joy of Cooking."
And I don't doubt the book isn't good, but let's not play the this book is better than that book game. it depends upon the reader, list what the book has to offer and leave it at that.
I was going to use my moderator point to flamebait this post, but I figured that could only say so much.
That's like saying to someone "Why did you choose the color blue as your favorite color? There are so many MUCH more interesting colors out there. Obviously your personal preference is wrong and I think you should change it which I will accomplish by putting it to you to defend something that you like! So take that."
Wait a second brother. The form of calcium in milk can be broken down, I think about 30% of it can be successfully converted. Spinach and other green leafy vegetables are also good sources of calcium as well.
I have been reading about the calcium/protein balance in the body. An excess of protein makes the blood more acidic, which the body counters by releasing a base - calcium - into the blood stream. How much is considered an excess is a question?
Aw, but it takes longer for cholesterol to pass through our bodies because of our winding intestines. As compared to a cat or a dog, who have a straight pipe right to their poop shoot. Maybe our body has more time to absorb and distribute it around, maybe it doesn't. (There are conflicting reports on that from either camp.)
What I did pick up on from the article is there hasn't been enough research either way. I'm glad the NIH has funded research into the Atkin's diet, I look forward to what their analysis will lead to.
Honestly, I don't know many people who follow the food pymriad well. They eat more meat than it recommends, less fruits and grains, and lots of snacks inbetween.
I don't think it is easy to make a blank statement about America that the food pyrmiad has failed. One, as the article hinted at, it costs a lot of money to do studies that look into these things. Despite the food pyrmiad being taught in school, doesn't mean Americans follow it.
I remember snacking soooo much when I was a kid. I also ran around a helluva lot. Tee hee, I wonder how much of a connection was there.;)
According to the article, it depends on the types of carbs. My diet is high-carb, but the carbs are complex, whole wheats, instead of the simple white breads.
I bet. I know the same has happened to people who have adopted a vegan diet. Which is odd, because when you look at it, the Atkins diet and a vegan diet are stark opposites. However, both touch upon something similar, which I'll be damned if I know what it is.
*laugh* apparently you don't know how to eat healthy properly. i'm make you some of my vegan motherfucking chocolate pudding and you'll see there are ways to eat a little healthier and still enjoy what you eat.
You can do all the situps you want, but if you don't lose those fat stores around your tummy, you're muscles will be hidden by the fat. Unless you assume there is a one-to-one relationship with exercise and losing weight. Which I don't think is necessarily true.
*laugh* I don't believe you. Fruits contain lots of sugar, which in excess isn't good for the body. But they've also got other vitamins and nutrients that a hershey bar doesn't. On the other hand, a hershey bar has things that fruits don't, like chocolate.;) It comes down to a balance between what your body needs and what your brain wants. Ask a kid halloween night if they care about what their body wants. Hell, ask me around halloween time.
And, taste is a matter personal opinion, and fact. Some people like the taste of fruits better to candy bars. However, I don't think i've meet a person that likes the taste of broccoli better than candy. But I know you're out there! Show yourself freaks!!!

Indeed. Freenet will be used for the expression of free speech, opinion, etc. while Congress will protect innovators and inventors for a limited time.
from what I gather, it's GPL'ed. If that ever happened, you could simply take it out, or it would be forked. No need to worry.

maybe the solution is make your own radio station. ;)

I need someone to stop me from illegally copying all this stuff! ;)
ha! big words from a coward. ;)

you use the forms of rhetoric that try to sway opinion based on emotions instead of facts. Those are easy to dismiss.
do as you will, i was only offering a suggestion for making more effective arguments.

*laugh* That is awesome! The Anti-Martha-Stewart! Let's hope the two of them never meet!
Great! Slashdot killed Ogg Vorbis! Maybe we should post an article about Microsoft, oh wait...

I'm curious as to what some favorite recipes are from the Slashdot crowd. Let this be a little Kitchen Korner.
Commericals on everything. I'm going to name my first born after the highest bidder. I can't wait to have a little Starbucks of my very own.
