Runtime in that case means the C runtime which implements low level program run time boilerplate functionality. It has nothing to do with hooking into GCC internals to e.g. build an IDE with it.
Frequency coordination is already done at the state level to a certain degree. Vermont Public Radio, for example, hired a guy and bought expensive software to perform propagation prediction so they could buy up as many frequencies as possible for low power translaters beating out the other stations (of which there aren't very many this being Vermont).
A close associate of mine is the amateur radio frequency coordinator for the state of Vermont. He's responsible for coordinating repeater frequencies in conjuction with his counterparts in other states (and Candada) as necessary.
In general all licensed radio users are required to meet certain requirements WRT not interfering with other licensed users so while they fight over bandwidth there is also necessarily some cooperation, especially on the local level, b/c most frequencies above 30mhz do not typically propagate very far (except during solar cycle maximae, like we're in now; 10m is open!)
None of this really has anything to do with the fact that an industry shill is sitting in "the big chair".
The problem with old computers is power consumption. A newer Atom or ARM will do the same job at 2 watts that a clunky old PC would consume 200 for. $0.15/kwh * 200 watts * 24 hours * 365 days = $262.8. That'll buy a lot of RaspberryPIs and their power consumption is practically negligable. The other problem is they're big. If you only run it infrequently and real estate is not an issue then whatever, might as well keep the old one.
Actually there are many jobs, our unemployment is below average and there are lots of small high tech companies. It's finding a job paying a reasonable salary, that's the trick. Most companies based in Vermont doing global business want to pay you a Vermont salary. Hence why I work for out of state clients.
There may not be anybody working ON SITE at Vermont Yankee who wants to see it shutdown. If I needed that paycheck to feed my kids I'd probably overlook a couple of leaky pipes myself. Obviously somebody at Entergy corp HQ wants it shut down as they are in fact shutting it down completely of their own accord. Do not forget Entergy just got recertified and kicked Vermont's ass in court. They didn't do that for fun and yet they are shutting it down. Sure I bet they wish it was PROFITABLE so they didn't HAVE to shut it down, but that doesn't mean they don't want to shut it down.
I guess my point is that nuclear power sucks and there are no winners here.
A predictable outcome does not necessarily lessen the importance of the effort. You can see this kind of thing coming from a mile away but I'm still glad Lessig is doing it.
Tell that to all the tritium that's leaked into the ground water out of Vermont Yankee. Or the collapsing cooling tower. Sure, the cooling tower wasn't radioactive, but what does that tell you about the way they run their railroad? Now the plant is closing taking the jobs and the property values with it. Glad I don't live in Vernon.
Oh, I get it, you're calling me a coward because you think I care more about making money than standing up to the government.
Well, to a point, you're right. As I type this I am listenening to my children singing in the background. No money, no food, no house, no medical care, government takes my kids. But don't worry, I'm teaching them to stand up for their rights, which, again, I couldn't do if I didn't have money. I'm playing the long game. Hello, reality calling, can I help you?
I've been to Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Poland, and South Africa. There are a lot of nice things about all of those places, but I'd never go expat to any of them. Do you really think people from all over the world come here en masse because it sucks?
Same is true in most of the USA. Most localities require you to produce ID if you are detained by the police and failure to do so can result in getting thrown in jail until they confirm your ID and/or getting charged with vagrancy.
I'm a natural born US citizen so not visiting the US isn't really an option for me. I could leave but honestly I've been around the world and as many problems as we have I know we are still #1.
Dude, it's the USA, they already have all my information somewhere. See 1. This is just jumping through hoops to get it into the correct government database.
WTF are you shitting about my "bank account"? How is that even relevant?
I practically died with joy the first time I got to use a pre-check lane. Kept my coat, shoes, and belt on, didn't take shit out of my bags. It almost justified the 8 hours it took me to get a global entry card (drive to boston, wait, talk to beurocrats about how I'm not a threat, drive back to vermont).
I invoke Godwin's Law. As horrible as some of the stuff our government does is, there is no mass incarceration or genocide period end of story. Comparing a few terrorists in Gitmo to Auschwitz is asinine.
The 4th Amendment needs its own unyielding ideologically pure NRA type organization because if there are no limits on government power, eventually it will start brutalizing people.
Hello, this is the ACLU calling, how can we help you?
*BEEP*
Howdy, this is the EFF, how can we help you?
Maybe it's just bad developers but any software that reads config data based on fixed line numbers is crap IMNSHO and just about every fortran program I've worked with worked that way. It's std lib is jonesing for an.INI parser or something.

Or keep it in a shielded faraday cage.
I'm kind of curious what all this nibble conversion business is about. Did the drive store data in 5 bit pieces?
Ham Radio is still here and pretty low cost.

Welcome to Vermont. Now go home :)

You, obviously, live in a major metro area. Plenty of people don't, and have no viable public transportation options, besides perhaps hitchhiking.
Don't you think that has been true since the time of Gutenberg?

If by "information" you mean things like my passport and social security numbers which the government ALREADY HAS, just in another database, then yes.
You A2M-phobic prick

Is this a joke? Have you ever been on a NYC subway during rush hour? Standing room only buddy.
Funny I see people move between subway cars all the time
