I've heard him on the radio. I've seen him on TV. My eldest brother is a huge fan. I posted as much. Stern is not my cup of tea. And I don't see the relevance of him to personal freedoms.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Please inform me (and others, perhaps) as to how Howard Stern furthers the fight against infringements of the First Amendment.
I tend to agree with many other posters. How does Howard Stern's moving his radio show to another network have anything to do with on-line rights?
Does it deal with:
Money? Sure.
Exposure? Hell, we're talking about it.
A bonanza for Sirius? Guess so... maybe?
I've only listened to Mr. Stern's show a few times, and saw the TV broadcast a few times. While not my idea of entertainment, one of my brothers is a big fan. I'm almost nearly certain he might run out in the next calendar year and perhaps purchase Sirius to listen to something he used to hear for free (in between the numerous commercials).
For YRO, this barely hits the radar IMHO. Has Mr. Stern been involved in some First Amendment case in front of the US Supreme Court, or ANY court, that I missed? Is this related to the FCC? Does this involve free speech?
I only vaguely recall an issue with his current broadcast network regarding Mr. Stern's uttering something ill advised, perhaps something defined as being one of those things not said on the US airways.
I acquired it when a previous employer did a massive house cleaning. Anything not obviously non-Intel was givin a DOS floppy to boot off of. If it failed, it was dumpster fodder.
Rescued from the trash, my Alpha has been "beauty, eh" for me for 3.5+ years. Initially I ran RedHat on it (which was ok), then upgraded to FreeBSD.
My only reboots/downtime has been due to power outrages, hardware expansion, and kernel upgrades.
I've added an ATA-100 controller, slapped in a SoundBlaster, and have USB and FireWire as well.
The box is a tank. Intel will be hard pressed to match it.
