    just because you're listening to 99.9 RIAA-0wn5-j00 FM doesn't mean other people have a weaker signal or diminished sound quality.

    they wont have a diminished sound quality (for the most part, if its all on the edge of the range they might). but they most definately will always have a weaker signal in the immediate area. this is because your antenna itself distorts the field around it when it attracts the singal, and a small amount of energy is used in the reproduction of the sound wave when the receiver is receiving the signal. now typically this is such a low drop that you wont notice it but it is there.

    "Of course the people don't want war. But after all it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's awlways a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a facist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for their lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger"

    also considering the fact that it wouldn't matter what order you did it in

    rot1 + rot1 = rot((1+1) mod 26) = rot2

    you only have one possibility it comes out to
    rot((2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19+23) mod 26) = rot22

    show me an order of the primes where (2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19+23) mod 26 is not 22, and i'll break it with rot4
