I've been looking for something similar. Right now, the HRT MicroStreamer is at the top of my list. The Audioquest Dragonfly v1.0 can be had for $100 right now, but I'd rather not have to swap cables when switching from headphones to amp.
It's so good to see the Olympic Spirit alive and well. Now people from every country can enjoy the experience of viewing the same "Access Denied" screen at the same time.
The most reliable machine I've ever had was built from pure garbage. The motherboard I pulled out of the garbage pile at a computer shop I was working at. I mounted a 200mhz IDT winchip that was laying around the tech area on it and fired it up to find the serial ports were dead (hence, it was in the garbage). I yanked an I/O card out of an old 386, and placed it in the machine. After fiddling with the jumpers for awhile, low and behold, I had serial ports and a working parallel port. This machine would sometimes boot and recognize the cpu as a 200mhz IDT chip, sometimes a 150mhz IDT chip. However, this served as my main machine without any problems for longer than any other machine I have owned.
The difference is that pointing a gun at someone is to put that person in immediate personal danger. Not to mention the fact that I'm sure rule #1 at a shooting range is "Do not point your gun at people." It is probably also against the law to point a gun at someone, regardless of your intent, due to the inherent danger it instantiates.
The action taken by the person who has requested information is neither a dangerous action, nor does it put anybody at risk. The whole basis for acceptance of the investigation into his character is that the information could potentially be used to do harm to others. However, this potential is quite indirect. There is a reason that FOIA information cannot be requested anonymously. This is the safeguard imposed, and the one agreed to, by citizens who enjoy freedom. If this person were to later be suspected of a crime, the police would find that he had requested this information in the past. This is the balance that free citizens have agreed to. The government has now taken it upon themseleves to disrupt this balance and investigate people in and of themselves, regardless of whether or not they are suspected of criminal activity or conspiring to committ a crime. There isn't even evidence that this man has gone as far as to conspire to committ a crime... and yet, the FBI is at his residence profiling him. Crime prevention is important, and in our society this is accomplished via education and the instillment of values in citizens. We do not grant our government the power to profile or investigate citizens who do not break the law, conspire to break the law, or have the potential to break the law. If the possession of information is considered justifiable evidence that someone is conspiring to break the law, we have a serious problem.
People should only be investigated if thay are suspected of breaking the law. It pains me to see that people have so quickly forgotten what "freedom" actually means.
Yes, we wait for bad things to happen. This is the basis of our legal system. People are not to be punished for what they think, feel, say, or for any reason that is not a direct transgression of the law. Public principles dictate that we are punished for actions, and actions alone, when they are contrary to widespread public opinion regarding what people should and should not do (the law). This is the only way to maintain a principled system and guarantee freedom. As a principled system, actions are not measured against what they could lead to. This is freedom. Have we forgotten? Yes, certain actions can have devastating results but this is the cost of being free. A principled system of law cannot prescribe the harassment of individuals for accessing information. When you have the government watching you for activity that is in and of itself unharmful and legal, how can you say you live in a free country?
Intorversion/Extroversion is not a measure of personality per se. It is a measure of baseline neural activity... introverts have a very high level of baseline neural activity and as such need/desire far less stimulation. This can be reflected in one's personality and personalities are not static, however, conscious shifts in one's personality cannot affect one's genetically pre-determined level of brain activity. Well, that's what I remember from my University Psyc courses anyways...

This is 1 -time mailing. N0-re m0val are re'qui-red
It isn't an important distinction. What's relevant here is precisely that the information is no longer available from the FCC.

Works for me. Sure it's a workaround, but nice just the same.
