Erm. Mylar is also what film (as in what goes through the projector at your local megaplex) headers are made of (the actual film is usually polyester).
Some speakers have their active surface made of Mylar.
I hate when I respond to something I think I understand, and then find out I didn't.
I stand by my point: It doesn't effect your back button. Not because these are links, but because these link tags affect a different set of buttons. If you don't like what the site is doing to your "Site Navigation Bar", use your back button to get out of it.
I've said quite a few things. One of them I even stated that I was restating.
So teh question becomes "Why are you shamelessly ranting about my inability to understand the law when I have given you no evidence to support that position?"
My commentary was strictly on your attitdude torwards someone you felt was misinformed. And then you tear into a rant on stupidity and nonsense, giving the impression that I had somehow taken someone else's words for myself.
Eh. Perhaps you are just trying to waste my time, and perhaps you are being purposefully obtuse. Perhaps there is some other explination. I find this "discussion" to be entertaining enough not to care. Thanks for your participation.
Really, what was the last bit going to be? Genuine curiosity here. Lack of (dental/mediacl) benefits? No transportation? Lack of confidence in your abilities?
Statements when I wanted statements, a question where it was needed.
As for backing up statements... Well, that was the point of my post.
Don't point out the splinter in someone else's eye, when you have a log in your own. To put it more plainly, I am suggesting you back up your own position (calling someone else wrong) before telling me (while probably intending to tell svyyn) to back up my (his) statements.
The only way I could possibly be wrong, is if my addition to this story was posted in earnest. For the record, it was sarcasm.
Check who you are replying to next time. And ease up on the animosity. Statements such as "I'm not about to debate with such stupidity. But I'm sick of hearing this nonsense over and over. Back up your fucking statement. Read the fucking indictment. You'll learn as you try that you are wrong." don't boost your credibility.
There is no indication of what you feel is stupid.
There is no reason (even if "this nonsense" has been permeating your area for years) to take out your rage on some unsuspecting person. Taking out your rage is unlikely to change someone's perception of events.
If the indictment has not been read yet (or has been read, but not understood), then telling someone to read it (rather abrasively, I might add) is not likely going to help matters.
You'll learn as you try that you are wrong. This sentence doesn't even make sense. In context or out of it. Try what? Try to learn? Try to read the "fucking indictment"? Try to "Back up [my] fucking statement"? This is a minor point, as you haven't given any indication as to what statements you disagree with.
I hate to be a stickler for detail (well, maybe hate is a strong word), but this particular deep space project uses a longer band transmission then 8 Ghz. As was linked to from another post, Pioneer's "Uplink was accomplished at 2110 MHz, while data transmission downlink was at 2292 MHz."
As for atmospheric interference, "The data were received by NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN)...". The atmosphere is not a factor, but for different reasons.
Completely forgetting about telnet is not a bad idea. But SSH? Even over satellite, it's really quite reliable.
I work for a company that provides internet access to REALLY rural schools. Bush Alaska. It's hard to get more rural than that.
I oversee the maintenance of over 140 servers across the state (at least one per site) and have to both use SSH and a web interface on a regular basis. Not just to monitor the server status, but also to UPDATE the damn things (software packages of over 20 MB on occasion).
Unless the weather at the site is crap (or has been, and has knocked the dish off axis a bit) I hardly ever have trouble with keeping a reliable SSH connection. Waiting for the web interface to load takes a bit more time over the satellite link is a noticible delay, but it doesn't render my job impossible. Not even unenjoyable. We used to use NT 4 and PC Anywhere. That was unenjoyable, but not impossible.
Yeah, we use a proxy (Squid) at the sites to make browsing a bit more responsive (it is a noticeable difference), but that doesn't affect messengers (MSN, Yahoo, AIM) or video conferencing (distance learning, or one teacher at one site teaching classes at several sites, WITH INTERACTION).
Sure, satellite sucks in comparison to terrestrial bandwidth delivery, but it's not the tar pit that so many people here claim it to be.
I'm late to the party, but I think this gives me some decent insight to the situation that you are describing. I'm surfing this article with a threshold of 3, and I don't see a single comment (not one) saying anything like "sucks to be you". One comment does state that Canada doesn't currently have enough clout to enforce taxation of the route, but it's stated in a logical (not inflamitory) manner.
There are certainly a lot of odd-balls that claim U.S. citizenship, and sadly the ones that scream the loudest and are the most often heard are those that are most passionate about their position. Thankfully, slashdot moderation allows those extremists to be filtered out. The majority of Americans who are rude are not rude out of malice, but out of ignorance.
Just like Slashdot, the U.S. does not have a single unified opinion or voice.
The good news is, those people who are threatening nuclear retaliation are very likely unable to back up thier claims.
Congratulations for having the resolve to stand up for something you believe in. I in no way intended to imply that the only people interested enough in this project to commit to it fit any of the classifications I listed. It just seems to me (from participating in the FSP Yahoo group, you can find me if you look) that folks fitting in those categories had more a more personal reason to desire the project's success.
To be quite honest, I was surprised at how negative the response was. Cynicism is a terrible by-product of the society we have build. I do support the project, and hope for its success. I just haven't taken the time yet to discuss it with my wife. Without her blessing, I will not sign up.

The group seems (for the most part) interested in making improvments to daily life, and personal liberties. It's a very interesting group of people. I really do encourage you to check it out.
Slashdot Mirror
So by posting the link to frankie as http:///~frankie is chrisd trying to save Slashdot from itself?
Thanks. I was in a rush, and posted one of the first links that Google came up with for "Mylar Speaker". :o)
Erm. Mylar is also what film (as in what goes through the projector at your local megaplex) headers are made of (the actual film is usually polyester).

Light, yes. Flimsy, not necessarily.
So it was a learning experience all around. :o)

I'll make this simple.
My statement.
Not my statement.
Any questions? Again, I say, ease up on the hostility.
Really, what was the last bit going to be? Genuine curiosity here. Lack of (dental/mediacl) benefits? No transportation? Lack of confidence in your abilities?
I made three statements:
Wow. That's helpful. And convincing.
I asked one question:
You were on a debate team, weren't you?

Very gracefully done.
It would ahve been pretty wild to listen in on the Apollo missions as they were happening...

Nope. They have goats for that.
Uncanny... Four minutes after you post, your premonition came true.
Any lottery tips?
There are exeptions. Perhaps few and far between, they do exist. Shops that are both increasing available speeds and experiencing financial success inspite of being hit hard by bad debt from WorldCom.
Apparently FedEx doesn't know about The Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska. That's a shame. They have letter answering Elves there and everything.
The ones labeled @#$!$. Duh!

All IMHO, of course.
Think about it. If the data for "tape#2" was overwriting the data on the only tape...
Hate to ruin an otherwise good joke.
Also reported as a cure for athlete's foot.
Useful tool indeed.

eBay is your new best friend. But do some research first.
Understandable. Sadly it seems misdirected.
