don lapres would be selling this for me and i could retire somewhere where it's warm and pleasant all the time and my money would be untouchable by the feds.
any movie list that does not include "the jerk" will be ignored by me. ok, "the jerk" and "total recall,"...any movie list that leaves those two movies off will be ignored by me. and "the running man." ok, any movie list that won't include "the jerk," "total recall," and "the running man" will be ignored by me. or "glen and randa."....and 'hot rods to hell," er never mind, "hot rods to hell" has never been released...jeeze, why would a studio sit on "hot rods to hell?"
that 10 buck AC adapter (i know, i have one powering my fm10) introduces a ton-O-hum. a well placed ferrite core reduces it to a tolerable level, but won't eliminate it.
unless you're stepping onna commercial station's signal, who is really going to complain? i've been running a ramsey fm10 (only 50 bux, the kit assembles in an a few hours if you have remedial soldering skills and can follow simple instructions...oh, i am definitely the poster boy for those requirements) for a year now, just yardcasting+. it's a microwattage transmitter that complies with the FCC part 15 rules as it is shipped. i have tweaked it slightly by replacing the kit's supplied telescoping whip antenna with a folded wire dipole and a coupla trips to radio shack. that mod prolly puts me in violation of the letter of the law. i get better than a 1/4 mile listenable broadcast range in the winter. slightly less in late spring through mid fall when the tree leaves are full size.
my signal source is an ancient P166 (sorta barebones debian woody OS with an xserver) on my home LAN that plays my mp3s or net radio with xmms.
i'm happy with my setup. the feds seem to be more interested in busting howard stern than triangulating the location of my feeble little signal.
i was a high school senior (1971), barely passing my second year of algebra. we had a six week unit of computer something or other. i remember a row of keyboards (like typewriters, but there was a button to press to spit out the greasy blue tape) and greasy blue paper tape with punched holes. it was hell. i couldn't type, i didn't understand binary, and i sure as hell had no idea how to solve algebraic story problems.
the school was wired to ITT with a modem speed that prolly was slower than sending a courier onna moped the fourty miles to the damn what i assume was a mainframe.
i remember being humiliated in class by my teacher cuz i had a typo in my "address" section of my program (i'm sure they hadda stay late, sans overtime to feed the tapes through). the funny thing was my program was ok.
so what has changed? i still suck at math, yeah, binary; on and off...but i do run and administer a small home LAN of debian boxes. i have written some bash and perl scripts when i was hyperfocused (i am undiagnosed ADD, that's another boring story) but alot of the other stuff is just copy and paste from linux how-tos. my grandkids can login to my desktop. i prolly should set up a proxy filter deally but the display faces a common room and they are polite and ask to login first.
grampa, are you using the xbox, or can i turn it off to play halo2?
now if i can just get them to help me with my kernel OOPS problems on my debian sid desktop with the shiny new 2.6.10 kernel.
You can merely stream the audio, which is not the same as saving it to your hdd.
maybe it's semantically different. in reality it makes little difference to the 0s and 1s where they end up; through the DAC of your soundcard or saved to a file.
the ignition is a camera flash circuit wired through a car ignition coil, which goes into a spark plug. Hairspray shoots the potatoes a good 150 yards if you wedge them in there enough.
a few notes from my son's spud gun construction. hairspray or WD-40. hairspray (aquanet seems to the best) tends to gum up the works after a few launches. WD-40, while less effective for distance cleans up the residue. ignition system is a piezo-electric grill ignitor deally. his barrel-rim is filed to a knife-edge so as the spud is rammed down the barrel it is shaped to the pipe diameter. i'm sure there quite a few home owners in his old neighborhood puzzled by roof gutters clogged by potatoes...
prior art points to ernie anderson, a cleveland television personality that back in the 60's was ghoulardi. gerry bishop was a top40 dj in cleveland at the same time. imagine my suprise when my family moved to chicago late in the 60's and there's gerry bishop onna local UHF station doing the whole ghoulardi shtick as svengoolie. son-of-svengoolie is a rip off of a rip off. do a google search on "ghoulardi"
i have a four box home LAN. they all run debian in some form (zebian, woody and sid). my kernel for three of the boxes has been custom compiled by myself with the source freely available from a kernel mirror. duh, just what RMS says i should be able to do.
i could pay for this or do it myself. either way, i still get the code. i dunno, i like doing it myself better. plus my two ancient pentiums don't get tossed out and take up landfill space.
change source code!? jeeze, i have my hands full setting up an NFS server or network media streaming...and imma joe six pack user...oh yeah, thankyou LDP for all those howtos. i am damn near non windows dependant cepfer my mustik scanner and waynize sony cdburner interface. yes i can burn cds with linux, but sometimes the sony cdextreme windoze software is just way faster or (gasp!) easier to deal with even with my dualboot winme redheaded stepchild. the scanner is just an albatross that i need once inna blue moon.
ok, back on topic, er, what windows edition comes standard with a compiler anyway? non that i ever got with my big box bought pcs. jeeze, maybe i shoulda made more of a fuss when my sid desktop's compiler was effed up and wouldn't play nice. i kinda think the windows play area is not the best place to go playing in the gpl playground. wah, it won't compile for windows. step back to the end of the line, asshole. jeeze, use mozzilla chat if your that hard up.
i'm not familiar with the exact definitions, but there seems to be two kinds of nukes. those that heat the water directly and those that use a heat exchanger. neither is perfect, but the heat exchanger deally is safer. seems like a very complicated way to boil water in either case. i have worked at several com-ed (IL) nukes as an employee of a roofing contractor and observed that any problems seem to originate with the suits. the techies and security people were knowledgable and competent and for the most part polite and courteous . it was the PHBs of the operation that effed up the most.
this olympic® brand altruism seems inferior to even a generic altruism brand.

bite me. i have free beer. ooh, i have free speech as well. i can't just run "linux," i need the contribution of the GNU people, XF86, debian (my distro choice) and countless others. i don't have to buy anti-virus software. i'm ahead of the game cuz i can read. go cry somewhere else. uh, for me to spend money onna OS, it had better be bug free or else no thanks. and yes, i have an m$ xbox but it's dual bootable cuz i can. do you see my middle finger sticking upright? do you understand why? i don't think so...
cool, since all my linux home network boxen have hostnames that are spongebob squarepants character names, my kernel can be mr. krab...weird, but at least i'm on the same page...
i rarely capitalize anything cept fer may be acronymns and the official two letter initials the post office uses for the fifty states. not even the first letter of the first word of a sentence get's capitalized by me. hardly defining living on the edge, but then i really don't care.
as steven wright said once said, "you can't have everything. where would you put it?" i benefit by living in IL, a non right to work state. i am in a building trade union. i don't have to be, but my wages and health and welfare benefits far outway any obscure advantage for working for a non-union contractor.
at any time i feel like it i can just tell my foreman or superintendant to fsck off and can go find another union contractor to work for. i've done it on occassion. of course in the trades, everybody pretty much delivers a commodity cuz all the competing contractors pretty much do the same type of work. i guess that's what makes me a journeyman, i can do this shit anywhere. my trade is still stuck for the most part with one foot firmly stuck in the 19th century as far as technology goes, other than the foreman has a company provided cellphone and digital camera.
sorry for the OT rant, but i see right to work states as an evil thing rather than a good thing.
i am a debian user (four boxes, desktop is sid, NAT/gateway is woody, ramsey fm10 yardcasting sound source is sarge and my xbox dual boots to woody) and installing was never a huge problem. i'd like to see some nice tools that do hardware detection and interact when you want to roll your own kernel from source rather than an eye candy GUI installer. but that's just the lazy me. and i'm annoyed by the qt powered xconfig that kernel 2.6.x brings forth, i liked the old tcl deally. o well, progress i spose.
i don't do update/upgrades till late Sunday evening on my sid box. so far so good.

cuz it's done. i sat through a few hours of g4 programming yesterday. it sucks.

thank god that porn article showed up, otherwise i woulda hadda use my mod points on either pivot tables or DIY cyclotrons.
