The CCRane FM Transmitter is well-liked on places like fixup.net and XMFan.com. The power output is "adjustable", too, if you don't mind voiding your warranty. http://www.ccrane.com/fm-transmitter.aspx
I seem to recall this system was deployed in L.A. a couple of years ago, to help pinpoint all the celebratory gunfire in the, uh, "less prosperous" areas of the city. It got rapidly overwhelmed with all the simultaneous fireworks, and was pretty much a failure.

Be careful transferring large amounts of data without application-layer error detection. It's possible to get undetected CRC errors, as Stone
and Partridge describe
This sounds quite a bit like the "Capture Effect" experienced by early Ethernet designers (circa 1994) and described in a number of papers. (e.g. http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/molle94new.html). Ethernet fixed it by adding a pseudo-random backoff delay for retransmissions. In fact, I'm suprised the authors didn't cite at least the Molle paper given that they suggest a randomized RTO as one of the possible solutions.
trancell.com has had email-based browsing and google-searching for years. try it
The only problem is that the system has gotten too popular for it's own good and what was originally a 30-second turnaround for email-based google searches is now unlikely to return a response at all. Not that posting this will remedy the problem, but hey - I don't use my blackberry anymore anyway;-).
Nice idea, free, useful, wish I still had my blackberry.
It still doesn't make sense. You're asking admins with open relays to make DNS changes. If they don't want to close their open relays, what makes anybody think they'd be willing to make a DNS change?
Sounds like the "Evil Bit" RFC -- it would work fine if we could just get all the bad guys to cooperate.
Here's one from 1989-01-10 making fun of the prevalance of "Death of the net predicted", so it definitely goes back much farther than that. The "net" in those days, though, was Usenet.
Didn't say it was boring or without value -- just looking for a pointer or two to a particularly good example of the comic. I'm perfectly willing to make my own assessment and keep it to myself. If the 3 or 4 recent ones are typical, I guess I'm not in the target audience.
I though the whole deal with anti-matter was that if it came into contact with matter, the two would annihilate each other and release Mc^2 energy? Doesn't sound like such a good idea to go trying to collect something like that, what would you put it in?
I'd rather see the BIGGEST web server on the internet, for some definition of BIG. Cdrom.com already has bragging rights for "Highest Volume". How about "Biggest Disk Farm"? "Biggest Physical Size"? "Deepest Redirect Tree"? What are the dinosaurs doing these days? Anybody running a VM/ESA web server? Any railway car enclosures? Diesel generators?
Where is this article they use to support their claim that NT is more secure than UNIX? The link points to lwn.net, which is almost as vague as pointing to zdnet.com. I searched the archives on LWN and didn't see that title page.

You're probably looking for surfraw
Ssh may be a better idea than netcat.
That's a pretty high userid to have been reading slashdot pre-dotcom. Never got around to registering?

Does anybody have an example of a humorous pennyarcade comic? Maybe I'm too old, but I just don't get it.

Hey, if you can figure out how to generate a homegrocer.com (or webvan.com) shopping list from a bunch of scanned barcodes, I'll send you a beer.
I'm still trying to figure out of there's a way to order homegrocer groceries from my Palm V.
