It makes me sad to think about someone facing that kind of lawsuit. So, to feel better, I'm firing up my Kazaa client and downloading some happy songs. I suggest you all do the same, just not on any school campus.
Large radio broadcasters love to claim this when there is a threat of a new station being added in their market. Not because there is a possibility of interference if the frequencies are close - they're scared of competition.
Well made and tuned equipment can eliminate any chance of interference and allow for more radio stations within an area. However, organizations like NAB (www.nab,org) and now, the FCC stonewall any attempts to open up the airwaves. At one time, there was a proposal to allow low power broadcasters to operate, unlicensed, if they could prove they weren't interferring and accept the interference from other channels. It was approved but still puts the "little guy" at a disadvantage: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/lpfm/.
If there ever was an "ol' boy network", it's broadcasting. If you want to broadcast legally, you're looking at dropping half a million in legal and license fees alone before you buy your first piece of equipment.
I've got a Belkin 16 port USB/PS/2 switch that works great, except for when I attempt a network boot. It seems the PC's don't pick up the KVM switch during boot and you can't hit the F12 button in time. However, a USB keyboard hooked directly into the PC works fine. It's not a problem unless you're looking into legacy free machines that don't have PS/2 ports.
Anyone know of any solutions? Compaq and Belkin blame each other....
My boss is an old spook who spent time at NASA and some other defense contractors. While there (about 10 years ago) he worked on this project. From what he tells me, they were able to monitor displays from a good distance without any troubles. Not only did they do this ten years ago, they also developed a coating for the monitors that would reduce the radio emissions. That way no one could monitor them...
I don't know what this guy patented but it's already been deemed useless by 10 year old US Government research.
There was an earlier discussion on/. about an administrator of some sort who had no degree and felt he was being overlooked. He probably was and will be until he gets that piece of paper. My boss has told me that if there is ever a round of lay-offs, those without degrees go first....always...
The majority of those in management will almost always want a degree holding individual over a someone without. Not only that, certifications without experience will get you so far. We recently interviewed a guy for a PC tech job who had an A+ certification but was working in a Jewelry store (HR made us interview him, IT didn't want to...).
Bottom line is to have that piece of paper to show your ability to persevere.
What I'm assuming is that you either don't yet have a college degree or are still trying to get one. Unfortunately, most corporations place a huge amount of emphasis on having that piece of paper. In my work, I've had to avoid hiring perfectly qualified people because they don't have that degree. When the lay-off axe comes a swingin', the first to go are those without college degrees.....That's just the way it is...
Well, I know what needs to be said...

It's nice being an AC. Almost as nice as being a stupid shit.

Alright!
Who needs that? You should see where I work. There's dust on some of the PC's that is older than me.
