I personally think he's on the right track with his actions, if they are indeed true. I don't agree with violence in movies, but I have little problem with the presence of swearing - only natural - in movies. Though I think many movies take it to excess.
Yeah, I did two years of high school radio. The school is responsible for giving you some kind of FCC replacement thingamajig which I now have.
Due to a weak broadcaster, the FCC had to actually sit outside the building to listen to the radio station, though normally on the opposite side so the hosts couldn't see it. Anyway, some friend of my friend's came in while I was there and told us there was an FCC truck outside. So the hosts of the show dedicated the next piece to the FCC guys sweating in their truck, and they left post-haste.
A solution is to have 5 broadcasters,broacasting the same thing (or nine, or however many you need). The outside broadcasters shouldn`t broadcast more then twenty or thirty feet on the same frequency (using the aformentionned thing from walmart) Then you have your range expanded to 1.5 miles, fluctuating, in each direction.
I regularly listen to CBC Radio One (Toronto), otherwise known as "News, and More" (all broadcasted regions can be listened to on the CBC website and CBC Radio Two (nation-wide), otherwise known as "Classics, and beyond", over real-audio. These radio stations are Publicly funded and have No Commercial Interests. The News on CBC is considered to be the world standard, very unbiased (though, obviously, the occasional bias slips through).
Its very listenable radio, no ads, lots of cool science programs, art programs, International news every hour.
I should point out the fact that its _already_ legal in the US to have a 2640 foot (1/2 mile) radius broadcaster (FM/radio) without any form of lisence. Though I believe you're still subject to FCC fines for swearing on the air (which is kind of frustrating when you want to play bad music on school radio. Good thing I listen to classical:) ). The US should switch more to a CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, part of the Canadian Crown) style control. They work much the same as the FCC except that they operate on complaints instead of running around monitoring frequencies. There's also the Canadian Broadcast Standards Commission (non-government, I only know about it because I went to school with the chairman's son and carpooled with him.:) ) which is run by the broacasters in Canada for the broadcasters in Canada. Both of these organisations will allow small name radio stations quite easily, at lisence (renewal) time. FCC's behind the times, guys. Its still somewhere in the McCarthy era. But anyway...
Read Tim O'Brien's book "The Things they Carried". I learned about the m&ms there. I then visited a US army recruiting station in Mass, where I found it was, in fact, true. They use those standard packets (the dark brown ones with about 20 in them that normally cost about $.60 in the US and $.99 in Canada.) According to Tim O'Brien's book, the m&ms (were) given by an accompanying soldier. Either way, I recommend the book. (Its one of only two books I've ever read that I simply could not put down - the other one was Night, Eliezer Wiesel.)
The linux mention is not out of place, its merely trying to show examples of how aol and ms are poking e-bullets at eachother, by pointing out that aol had heavily invested in linux by way redhat by way of netscape, which is a threat to ms's OS market share (which is stil circa 90%.)
As an aside, it occured to me - by free association, I suppose - that MSNM looks so much like MNM - (how most people say M&M) - that I started getting hungry. Then my association got worse: US Military standard equipment includes a single pack of m&ms. Its been standard practice since at least Viet Nam in the USM to give the fatally wounded m&ms as their last taste of life. So now we have AOL AIMing at M&Ms.
Why doesn't everyone just use ytalk?:)

Another thing that persistently cracks me up about windows - the login.
Press ESCape and, gee, you're in Windows. So much for the "identify yourself to windows" login&pass system. ctl+alt+del doesn't kill winscreensavers any more, fortunately. But win95a accepted the *windows button* to get around the screen saver. And almost all windows security (even in some NT systems) can be bypassed on boot with a floppy drive (set boot to A in BIOS if necessary) and/or the F8 key.
I know I'm posting this kind of late - I hope someone reads it anyhow.
Can someone possibly get themselves DIRTed, then use tcplogd, wine and linux's netstat to see exactly how this soil works? Perhaps those of us who are unfond of that level of privacy-violating software who live _outside_ the States, where US cops (corrupt official policing services?) have no jurisdiction, can work together to fight back against DIRT and write detection software for the trojan.
I was thinking, though, it probably runs DOSEMU's d:\exitemu.com (which when tried in dos w/o linux underneathe completely and irrevocably crashes the system, so that not even ctl-alt-del works.) Its only 12 bytes long.:)

"Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt" - cheap marketing strategy.
It seems to me the term was brought into more common usage by the Halloween documents (they`re no longer posted anywhere i can find them).
I admin a couple of bsd systems, a lot of linux systems and a sun system
Linux is by far the easiest to admin remotely
BSD is by far the easiest to admin at the console
Sun is by far the hardest to admin.

Yeah. There`s one we use for an anchor for the sail boat.
