  1. Done in the USA and failed. on Australian Researchers Push Near-Broadband IP Over VHF · · Score: 1

    Several companies in 2000 tried to buy small tv stations called lptv's. They opperate on low power; VHF 3kw and UHF 150kw max ERP. They are licensed like other broadcasting stations in the US by the FCC.

    Several US companies tried it. ISP's were on board at first but abondoned the plan arround 2001-2002'ish probably decided it was a better idea to build wired networks instead. To build one of these VHF/UHF stations it cost arround $300,000.

  9. Re:Portfolio on Any Advice for Starting a Web Design Business? · · Score: 1
    Others suggested getting a corp right away. I actually would suggest that it's a bit premature at this stage.

    I would aggree with that. Do web design work for awhile and see if your really into it, if you are then incorperate.

    The thing about incorpating is that its a hassle. About $2,000 to $5,000 in fees then you have to have to do taxes each year for it too.

    I hope these companies that are building a network like this also deploy a security system that will prevent outsiders. Unfortunately "Most computers are pretty" so someone has to execute a good solution.

  14. Re:I don't understand this news. on Low Power FM Report Rejects Interference Concerns · · Score: 1

    How come no one talks about low power AM broadcasting?

  16. Re:Why "law enforcement"? on Courts Block Washington Violent Game Law · · Score: 1

    The reason why they want to block police officers from getting shot in games is because they think that it will carry over to real life. Nobody wants to see brave police man killed trying to protect us.

  25. Re:Of course, I matriculated years ago, but... on Has the Internet Changed College? · · Score: 1
    It's also alot easier to catch students who attempt to cheat in this manner. Students who try to lift papers from the web have no idea how easy it is to google part of a sentence from their work in quotes. I've had quite a few students who try to get away with this, and are amazed when they get caught. And usually very sorry when the fail the class.

    Well maybe if they didn't copy paste and actually put a little work into it they could get away with it.
