Wasn't it William Gibson who said the recording industry would last only 90 years? It's getting about that time. I'm an electrical engineering student, and I know it's going to be impossible to stop low-tech analog duplicating. Everything can't be digital.
To be honest, I never really liked Field Day. I don't like the rules. I just want to ragchew. People at Field Day just want to rack up points by making as many contacts as possible in 60 seconds.
Just my 2 cents. Ham radio is fun. Get your license.

You've got to admit, Napster was looking for trouble when it started up. I mean, do you really think they'd expect the users to trade public-domain MP3s?
I'm not too surprised that people are clueless about amateur radio. I went to a job fair not long ago and casually mentioned that I was a ham. The majority of telecom companies I talked to just staired at me clueless. The only company I talked to that truly understood the significance of ham radio was SkyTel. Now I'm working with them...:-)
Suppose a commercial company wanted to do some major number crunching, and they said "Hey, let's distribute it and get the internet folks to work for us." Do you think asking for some level of compensation would be appropriate?
For example, say Boeing wanted to design the Next Generation spaceship using genetic algorithms. They certainly could distribute the work for that type of application. And maybe for every data unit done, the home user would get a few pennies...
Since distributed processing forms a virtually limitless computer system, will all our personal computers of the future be simply devices that share processing power?

Failure is an option when your name is Monte Carlo.

But I run Mandrake 8.0.
Your tone hurts my feelings. It really does.

They should give some more of this "unlimited" spectrum to the poor amateur radio operators.
Oopz! My bad. It is Nova.
Thanks,

NASA has so many missions now that I can't keep up with them all. I suppose that's a good thing. When are we going back to the moon?

I thought they used a sand box to lower the structure into position. I saw it on TLC after all. ;-)

I've never been much of an archade player. The price is way too expensive. I remember the good old days when it was 25c. Now, at least 50c.
Oh well, back to playing my PS2 gear...

I wonder if I can make another Macquarium out of these...
Ham radio operators have used packet radio servers on satellites.
I miss Wolfenstein.
What's the purpose in having a language like this? Wouldn't the other's do just as well?
OK, fine i'm wrong. I admit it. :)

The FCC has limited amateur data rates to 56k on frequencies above 420Mhz....

Oh boy! another how-low-can-you-go estimate from Silicon Valley. Next week it will be .007 microns.

Remember what Arthur C. Clarke wrote:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Maybe Clarke saw something in Disney's magic...

I wonder what the Allies of 1945 would have thought of the cryptography from today with all its primes and public keys...
