... have a cable hooked up from your RAM to a drive bay faceplate. This way you can see the activity of your RAM without the need to allow more EMI/RF out. And this would be beneficial to those case-mod people.
On the plus, hopefully all of the other RAM manufacturers will see this as the way of the future, and lower the price of their "obsolete" LED-less RAM.
- Why was morse code originally required for amatuer radio operators?
IIRC - it served several purposes but primarily kept poor operators off the airwaves. It also showed that you had "technical prowess"...
- How often is morse code used today?
Given the fact that it is easily discernable, takes very little bandwidth (4 * WPM) = Hz, and global, it is used quite a bit. In fact with my handheld, I can pick up Morse on 7.110 (or so) just about anytime.
- What advantages does morse code have, vs other forms of radio communication?
While this may or may not attract more people to ham radio, it will make it easier for the novice to use packet radio devices.
There's already packet for 2-Meter... so changing the Morse requirement would only allow it on different frequencies.
As an Amateur Extra class holder, I can see both sides of this... if you drop the requirement, then more people would be able to get the General or AE license.
However, if there is a roadblock (not a very high one), that would limit the number of poor operators on HF frequencies that would travel around the world.
If BPL does come to fruition, it really won't matter on HF anymore.
BTW, what type of communication would prevail if aliens invade?

1. Injecting high frequency RF onto the power lines at levels higher than the limits specified in 1989 WILL cause interference across the entire HF bands (actualy lower levels will do that). This is illegal according to FCC Part 15. Any device doing this can and will be shut down.
They (the FCC) will lobby congress to change the law. This is already assumed, otherwise you are correct and BPL won't make it to market.
2. An entirely legal amateur transmitter, say a beacon transmitting 100 watts at 28.2MHz, in a common suburban backyard will render the local BPL system useless; and according to Part 15 the BPL system MUST accept this situation.
You are correct, if the Part 15 rules hold. If not, no big deal to BPL... it's a spread spectrum style of communication. Its self-reparing and self-healing if there is interference. And laws MAY be created that state if one intentionally interferes with BPL fines etc.
3. It is entirely unnecessary for the utilities to use the 2 to 80 MHz band for this purpose.
Here we both agree. One thing to think about, BPL WILL knock out amateur radio, shortwave radio, government radiolocation services, old cordless phones, lower TV channels (up to like 6 or 7).
that's the law as it stands now ( and yes, case law is law too).
While you claim to be a lawyer... you state that case law is law... but it is NOT.
What case law is, is a judges' opinion on the current case in front of him at the time. This is precisely why we have several layers of appeals courts.
Now, many lawyers USE prior arguements ("case law") to bolster their pleadings/arguements, the court does NOT need to recognize them. In fact, since we have many Curcuits of appeal, there have been times when they don't provide the same interpretation of the same law (real law, not "case law"). The short of it is, that judges use "case law" to help them decide what decision to make, and giving the appearance of applying the law equally.
In fact, there are times when a jury can vacate a (real) law by using "jury nullification". For more info on that go to: Fully Informed Jury Association. PS, judges can do this as well, but rarely do so for political reasons.
The appearance of law must be upheld, especially when it's being broken. - Gangs of New York.
I would conjecture that they are in the "loading program" similar to when Neo get's his guns in The Matrix.
Also, near the beginning of the movie when Morpheus is at the gathering with other ship captains, and the package is delivered to Neo... I believe that they are again in the Matrix, and not IRL.
Even though it is not explicitly shown when they ARE in the Matrix and when they are NOT, I don't believe its terribly difficult to determine... based on clothes, and "plugs"... since the "plugs" disappear then they are in the Matrix, due to "residual self image".
As for stuff to see, if you're not in a huge rush, take the scenic route across North Dakota
HAHAHAHAHA... scenic route across North Dakota... HAHAHAHAHA..
Awww man... never laughed so hard...:)
Seriously... I live here... there's NOTHING scenic about the route across North Dakota... (I-94)... unless you like counting grain silos.
Sure... after Bismarck it gets a little more interesting with the badlands... and the drive south (after Dickinson) to hit South Dakota is the longest without ANY reststops/gas stations in ND.
Though, you do drive past the highest point in ND, and make sure you see the "open range"... literally... its a range without a front on it, and a sign by it telling the people who don't get it what it is... (its really for the Montanians)
Uhmmm... you CAN have more than 4 IDE devices... what you need is more IDE channels.
Each IDE channel can have only 2 devices, a master and a slave.
The more IDE channels you have, the more devices you can have. Currently, on my Motherboard, it has 4 channels, (2 for "standard" IDE connections, for 4 devices, and 2 for "RAID" IDE connections, for another 4 devices).
In fact, there are a couple of MOBO mfgs that have 6 channels (2 + 4 RAID channels, for maximum throughput you would have only 1 device per RAID channel.)... however, you don't need to configure the RAID array, and could have 12 IDE devices.
Currently, I have:
60G - master - channel 1
60G - slave - channel 1
CDRW - master - channel 2
DVD - slave - channel 2
40G - master - channel 3
BTW, it's really nice not to partition anything, and have a whole drive dedicated to an OS.

Although this is better quality than most of the songs that I download from Kazaa, I'd like to get better rips.
BTW, do you log everyone who takes these MP3s? Or is it "anonymous"?
This could be just like the Chewbacca defense, only different.

BTW, what type of communication would prevail if aliens invade?
Would it be a PVR style of setup, and at a fill-up of petrol (gas for us USians) you need to download the data?
Or would it be a wireless thing?
Now if it were a wireless thing ... couldn't that be jammed?
And couldn't the camera be painted over? I suppose paint would be outlawed ... at least we would still have our Sharpies ...
Even the COMMENTS are the same ... have they no shame?

Well .. you have several options:
- Do the work like a good worker bee
- Do the work, but piss and moan to
/. about it
- Do the work, but piss and moan to you supervisor about it
- Start doing the work while looking for a new job
- Quit immidately
Summing it upThe question to ask yourself is: "How much do I like my current job and position? ... and ... Is it worth the lack of a life?"
