I assure you we are fully aware of the complexity of erecting this tower. It is not a simple job, and requires a very large crane. Most of the $30-40K expense we're ballparking is in the erection of the new base and assembly of the tower. At the very least a new in-base tube must be fabricated as the original is hopelessly captured in the original base.
Here's a photo gallery of the construction of one of these monsters:
I went to Georgia Tech, and it certainly does NOT have the "ivy league" mentality. In fact the place prides itself on the practicality of its curriculum. The university actively engages industrial leaders to shape and form its curriculum to keep it current with demand.
I don't know what the deal is with the online Master's, though. I completed my attendance there when the Internet was just starting to take off, so I don't know if the same resources are available (like the Alumni mentoring program, etc...).
1) The FAA does not understand the difference between a drone (which does not require visual contact with the operator to be flown) and a toy airplane (which cannot be controlled out of sight of its operator).
2) The FAA is trying to consolidate more power to government by conveniently misinterpreting the rules to give them the ability to ensnare model airplane owners in a tangled web of onerous regulation and raise more money.
The mindset you describe, self-preservation, is the reason that we never actually want to solve problems, win wars, cure diseases, or actually fix anything.
There is too much money to be made fighting wars, so we don't try to win them. There is too much money to be made treating cancer symptoms, so we don't try to cure it meaningfully. There is too much money to be made lobbying against polluted air, so we lobby for half-assed solutions that don't work. There is too much money to be made fighting the "war on drugs," so we make no effort to eradicate drugs. There is too much money to be made fighting crime, so we make no meaningful effort to reduce crime. Police departments love federal paramilitarization dollars.
1) Buy one 2) Open it up, not caring that you wiped it 3) Determine location to drill to sever battery cable, and how to defeat/avoid physical tamper detection 4) Steal one 5) Follow results of #3 6) Profit!
I sure hope that by "occupant" they mean "someone having legal control over the property, as in a lessee or tenant" rather than simply "someone who just happens to be in the home at the time of the search."
I do sculptures in ice, limestone, clay, and other materials. If this Law passes, I would be forced by government to comply with a request I recently turned away.
That request was for a piece of art - a limestone sculpture of a young boy, but with an erect penis (customer also specified he wanted the erect penis to be 7-8" in length and 1.5-2" in diameter). I immediately said "no way" but the customer, who was openly, of not obviously gay, argued that the erect penis was a legitimate artistic expression of the sexual angst and tension young boys feel as they go through puberty. Yeah, right, with such exact size specifications.
So yeah, the government wants to compel me under threat of force to sculpt young boys with oversized erect penises for gay customers.
That's about the size of it. The lesson here is that you must provide your services under threat of force from government.
If this law does NOT get passed, it will become commonplace to get sued for turning away business, for whatever reason? Schedule already booked up? Too bad, go to court accused of discrimination. Going on vacation that week? Too bad, go to court accused of discrimination. Don't want to bake a swastika cake for the local neo-nazi ball? Too bad, go to court accused of discrimination.
Every block where you see "Amateur" _not_ in all CAPS, Amateur Radio is a secondary use and not the primary licensee. You can see that there are no blocks that are allocated primarily to Amateur use that would be useful to cellular carriers.
420-450, 902-928, 1240-1300 are all government property that Amateurs are allowed to use provided they do not cause interference to the primary licensee.
If government didn't have a use for that spectrum, it certainly would have been sold already - certainly before going through all the trouble to move OTA TV to HD and reclaiming that spectrum.
Seriously, think logically for a minute. If the government could have opened up over 100Mhz of spectrum to cellular carriers by simply displacing a few hams, rather than upending the entire broadcast TV industry, that's the way it would have been done.

Sorry, I thought the "be smart about it" was implied. I forgot that I was talking to someone who deleted an entire RAID array by accident.
If you want to back up 20TB of data, you have to pay for it.

I see now.
And we keep re-electing these scoundrels, why, exactly?
I dunno about everyone else, but AT&T not only just canceled the rest of my contract term, but also cut my bill by $30 and gave me 4GB more data.

One of two possibilities:
1) The FAA does not understand the difference between a drone (which does not require visual contact with the operator to be flown) and a toy airplane (which cannot be controlled out of sight of its operator).
2) The FAA is trying to consolidate more power to government by conveniently misinterpreting the rules to give them the ability to ensnare model airplane owners in a tangled web of onerous regulation and raise more money.
My vote is on #2.
Ok! Ok! I must have, I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Shit. I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.
I love my Jura Capresso... I put beans in, and get awesome coffee out. Making expensive freeze-dried instant coffee will never compare.
The dad broke the confidentiality agreement by telling his daughter about it. Her post was just incontrovertible evidence that he did it.

It's all personal greed and self-preservation.
I still don't understand the uproar over Googlers carpooling to work...
How DARE you make that much sense on Slashdot???
1) Buy one
2) Open it up, not caring that you wiped it
3) Determine location to drill to sever battery cable, and how to defeat/avoid physical tamper detection
4) Steal one
5) Follow results of #3
6) Profit!
A ban on cryptocurrencies that are both unregulated AND anonymous would not apply to Bitcoin.
If you haven't noticed lately, Congress is unwilling to legislate and prefers rather to delegate power to the Executive branch.
I sure hope that by "occupant" they mean "someone having legal control over the property, as in a lessee or tenant" rather than simply "someone who just happens to be in the home at the time of the search."
Can we PLEASE not fill the sky with autonomous airplanes full of people who no clue how to fly airplanes when (not if) something goes wrong?

Sorry, but fuck you. I'm still not doing it.
Just tell me this - does it make a screen go all blocky and distorted as it slowly takes over your computer?

Those allocations do not belong to Amateur Radio. Amateur Radio is a secondary use on both of the bands that you mention.
I probably put the decimal point in the wrong place. Why do I always screw up some mundane detail?!?
What parts of it are breakable? Which parts are easy and which parts require moderate effort?
Assume we're talking about the stock Android phone encryption system.
