70 miles is pushing it, but a large, directional antenna up in the air should be able to pull in your stations. I'm 31 miles from my NBC affiliate and my roof antenna pulls it in reliably. (I do have a UHF pre-amp on the antenna.) I even split my signal 4 ways to the 1 TV and 3 TV tuners in the house.
I've made somewhat of a hobby of OTA TV, so maybe the problem is your antenna. It's possible that your local station transitioned to a UHF band and your antenna isn't appropriate anymore. You can check http://www.tvfool.com/index.ph... to see what you should be able to get.
"There was a time when astronomers would have immediately ruled out this possibility as well. But last year, astrophysicists calculated that sun-like stars can produce superflares of this size about once every 3000 years."
I think that if an event happened 14 centuries ago, and one explanation is supposed to happen every 30 centuries or so then it isn't something that can be discarded as an explanation without further evidence.
Speaking as someone who spent a ridiculous amount of time in college+graduate school, it seems as though learning to code, which I picked up in my spare time and I now make a living at, is something that can and should be done without the boat anchor of a college degree.
Well, I had a Mac Plus, and there was definitely a problem with the solder joints cracking on the analog board failing. I had to pop the case open and resolder it at least once.
I was referring to any problems of global catastrophe like the Earth being hit by a big rock, which will eventually happen. The long term survival of humans will require us to expand into the galaxy, presumably starting with Mars.
I understand that exploration of Mars is important, in that eventually our existence as a species will depend upon having colonies there. However, it's just a lifeless place right now. Any random acre of Nebraska is more interesting than what the Rover gets to see. It just boggles the mind how eager everyone is to go along with NASA's hype about the mission, to the point here of giving time here to the event of a rock getting popped up in the air by the Rover and landing upside down. If only I could get that kind of free marketing for my own endeavors.
How much could it possibly cost to have a subscription to a translation service? It isn't as though speaking Japanese and English are super powers. My own wife does a great job translating English to Chinese and back again, and I doubt she'd charge anybody more than $60/hr for the work if she were in that business.
If it was taking Nintendo a week to translate questions from Japanese to English and then translate the reply. Why didn't this company have somebody on retainer who could translate the initial question into Japanese so questions could be answered in an hour?
If I were Google, I'd be encouraging people to relocate to Austin, a fine city which is the Live Music Capital of the World, and not particularly encumbered by artificial housing constraints. They can even go whale watching on Lake Travis, although they probably won't see any.
Or they could ramp up their facility near here in Cambridge and rent the duck boats to take engineers over to Boston.
So this leaves my question still unresolved. Is there a non-proprietary GPLv3 IDE available which provides good code completion and useful static analysis? Have the steps GCC made to lock out proprietary use caused the product to be hard to integrate even with license compatible IDEs?
So, if you don't like the word obsolete, what word would you prefer? Deficient? The problem as I understand it, and I'm not claiming any expertise in compiler design, is that GCC is deliberately architected to prevent useful re-use of the code which can syntactically analyze source code which shows up in the difficulty in using it to integrate it with an IDE in terms of things like error parsing, code completion, and static analysis. As a long time Xcode user, I can remember when Xcode's code completion was abysmal, and I can remember first running the new static analyzer on my then big source base and finding dozens of problems; problems I could fix before they were hard to reproduce errors seen by users. The difference between Xcode running LLVM/Clang and GCC is just night and day in terms of delivering on the promise and feature set of a modern IDE. I tend to think that if you had access to those features in your GCC centric environment, you'd quickly find them essential.
What's the code-completion situation in GCC these days, or the static analyzer situation? (I don't know.) Apple went with Clang at least in part because of not being able to get those features out of GCC without making Xcode GPL3 compliant, but I'd guess that an IDE with a compatible license might have a better shot at getting that information out of GCC.
Code completion and static analysis are 2 of the great features of Xcode; I wouldn't want to go back to tools that didn't have either.
And I had a plastic Intel Macbook years ago, that was discoloring, cracking and out of warranty, and when I took it into the store, the Genius just took it into the back room and came back out 10 minutes later and it had a new palm rest. Free of charge.
My wife's iPhone has a grandfathered unlimited plan and we've been averaging 3 GB a month with occasional throttling. This is mainly in 10 minute increments as kids get driven to after school activities. One could only extrapolate what it would be should we ever take a serious car trip. I've a non-unlimited 4GB/month tethering plan on my iPhone and that runs about $15/GB for overage, and the usage on that varies wildly some months are less than a GB some are nearly 5GB. When I'm providing Internet to 2 iPads in the back seat I'm at the mercy of the kids.
My view is that he pushed for a system that would get zero defections in the Senate Democratic caucus, barely, and wasn't able to come up with a compromise that would get so much as Olympia Snowe for goodness sake. If you can't get Olympia Snowe to be bipartisan you aren't trying. I can assure you if he'd compromised the point that he got Senator Snowe, he'd have ended up with a much better, if less grandiose bill, but he wanted the whole enchilada. Well he did have the least compromising voting record in the Senate when he was there and 'he won' so I guess it's to be expected.
Well according to recent polls nearly 60 percent of Americans think the Federal government should stay out of health car (at least as it pertains to ensuring coverage.)
Perhaps in your world view nearly 60 percent of the public is extremist. And 40 some plus percent still are opposed to same sex marriage, maybe in your definition extremism starts at 40%.

Maybe the stations are all UHF now and your antenna isn't? Really 24 miles is nothing in terms of broadcast.

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.

I'd say that telling people what to do is a prime motivator for people who go into government. So, I'd tend to believe it.
Do you really think this? Or do you have to resort to hyperbole to defend a dysfunctional system.
Well, I had a Mac Plus, and there was definitely a problem with the solder joints cracking on the analog board failing. I had to pop the case open and resolder it at least once.
Capacitors are failing on analog boards that haven't been powered up in 20 years.

And have they found microbial life?

I meant English to Japanese in the above.

Apple's PC shipments are up 28% in the US. Good for them as a side business.
