I ordered some stainless steel drinking straws a couple years ago; they're great for drinking fresh coconut water... you just wouldn't want to fall on one the wrong way.
Perfect. The steel industry is historically known for never having been harmful to the environment in any way.
Ummm to do any kind of broadcasting in the FM bands you need a license from the FCC.... You can RECEIVE all the FM bands you want without a license but transmit - you need a license....
FM is a modulation mode, not a band. There is plenty of spectrum where you can transmit an FM from an FM station without a license.
Not sure if you're trolling or making a very subtle and overplayed "I didn't read TFS" joke, but Dice just _SOLD_/. Dice were the ones running it into the ground.
LOL! Early access to stories. That's awesome. *checks URL* Yep. I'm still on/. alright. Would that be early access to the story that I read 3 weeks ago somewhere else, early access to the dupe of the story I read on/. last month or early access to the StartsWithSpam clickbait/flamebait that I only click for the fun in the comments?
You're right. I don't think early access is what would entice a subscriber.
I don't want government internet because my government thinks it's ok to read my email (and everything else). Letting them be the ISP makes it that much easier.
I can't believe on/. of all sites I had to read this far into the comments to find someone making this point. This! This! Yes. Fine. Let them set up the pipes if they want. Let people subscribe to the service if they want. I, for one, wouldn't go anywhere near it. Governments in general (though probably less so at the local level) have proven themselves untrustworthy given access to the people's communications. Being the actual broker of those communications? No way!
So, to be clear, you are saying that Illinois is in a much stronger position economically than Indiana or Wisconsin? I think if you're going to make that claim you probably need to provide some data that explains how it was arrived at. Having lived in IN all my life and worked in IL for over 15 years, I think the "real world" might actually disagree with you. As of a couple years ago when I left, IL was billions in the hole, had massive budget deficits, unfunded liabilities (read: pensions) with no hope of ever being paid for, infrastructure that was either falling apart or being sold off, a laundry list of contractors and vendors threatening to sue because the state couldn't pay for services rendered and massive population exodus. Indiana at the same time had a budget surplus, population growth (largely from people and businesses fleeing IL) and was making plans for serious infrastructure improvements. Even Gary was making a comeback. The only blip I can recall in IN economics was when the steel industry faltered and Bethlehem quit paying their taxes. That situation largely sorted itself out, though.
I can't speak specifically to the state of Wisconsin's economy since I can usually find local places to get cheese, but IL has been teetering on the brink of bankruptcy for years.
It's a reference to a Dr. Who episode in the most recent series wherein The Doctor theorizes that a creature may have a perfectly evolved ability to hide from all physical observation yet your subconcious knows it's there. Like the feeling one sometimes gets of being watched when in what appears to be an obviously empty room.

Actually it's more like a double. We still need the Supreme Court to bat the runner in.
This is probably the first and only time Biodome and the phrase "quality content" will ever be used in conjunction.

The risks to protect the public and aid LE with investigations outweighs any privacy concern...
When did we all agree on this? I don't remember getting to vote on it.
Johnny Cash? I think he's dead.

who's going around with an FM radio tuned to nothing in the vague hope that something will eventually come thru?
Hams. Apparently, the entire market for this is Ham radio operators.
I seem to recall someone once saying "trust, but verify" ;-)

I wish I was kidding. :-/
I see what you did there. :-)

Fish is never an alternative to a good beef.

Imagine a beowulf cluster of those!
Because fantasy football is Dungeons and Dragons for people who used to beat up people who played Dungeons and Dragons (e.g. the /. userbase)
Posting a comment to undue a bad mod. Sorry.
Bomb squads use spark gap transmitters to jam radio signals thus preventing remote detonation. I know it's true because I saw it on Burn Notice. :-)

"Their" women?
You don't ask "why are you so interested in those people" or "why are you so interested in that particular method of oppression".
"Their women"? Sheesh....
I'm really confused by this.

Militia still meant militia though, and not everybody.
It means just about everybody.

US code Title 10, Section 311:
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
In other words, just about everybody.
