Slow down BL!
then I seriously doubt the IQ of any person with moderatorship reading that comment is above 12%.
Stop professing to be of above average intelligence, and keep pushing it, when you don't understand IQ is not a percentage.
If a "dumb" person was "twelve percent" intelligent, that would make it very limiting to be a "smart" person.
IQ stands for Intelliegence Quotient.
Asking someone what dictionary they're using while making a spelling mistake in the same sentence does indeed give us a clue of your intelligence, of that have no doubt.
the real question is what exactly is a Stetson
Nothing sexual all, a "stetson" is a hat, no less. One big enough for one to be stuffed into, one estimates.
Look at this one

What would an airplane be doing 45,000 ft directly above and airport? Don't planes generally decrease their altitude (to facilitate landing, presumably) near airports?
So surely you'd be much _less_ likely to be a problems to airplanes 45,000 ft directly above the runway, than you were anywhere else, where they'd be flying at their normal altitude of approx 30,000-50,000 ft.
Not to mention that he did it with inexpensive, off-the-shelf parts.
Not necessariy "inexpesive" parts. The guy did mention that he was unemployed, and I only estimated the total cost converted to my local currency could well have been a couple of weeks of my wages.
To send that up in the air, with the chance of not recovering it I find very bold indeed.
And after the thing landed, he also managed a website not bloated with shockwave and unnecessary javascript, almost as impressive an effort.
Hmm, not for me on Telecom in New Zealand. I got a text from my friend saying he was at such and rather on Queen St, when in fact he was in my car more than 40km away from there.
Obviously, I'd given up waiting for his text and used something that works, calling him. SMS messages has been very unreliable for me. I never use it for anything when I don't want to waste time, or risk the message not getting thru at all.
Nice thinking, but no. This will work for a not-real-time format like mp3 and then only when you can deliberately select which part of the signal to lose.
If you miss a single bit of a digital feed, you won't necessary miss out on the "least significant bits". So again, it's all or nothing.
Even if it was possible, a complete signal dropout of half a second would be just that, half a second of no signal. When you're transmitting, you've no way of knowing which parts of your signal will be rec'd the best. When you're receiving, you _do_ know, but you haven't any choice.

...or the possibility that he had /some/ conscience, and wasn't actually in it for pecuniary (sp?) gain?
Just because he stole $2000 doesn't mean he intended
to go on to steal more.

Another cool thing 'bout virtual mem, is you no longer have a prob with memory fragmentation, or on old MacOS's "Largest available block"
