  1. Re:Read TFA on Students Call Space Station With Home-Built Radio · · Score: 4, Informative
    Sounds more like they built a station, not the radio.

    http://www.operationfirstcontact.com/blog/episode16.htm

    Today, Mr. Rector, Paul, and I went out to Radioworld and purchased a transceiver. After much research, we decided to go with the ICOM Ic-V8000. For the cost, it has exactly what we need. On Friday, we're going to be integrating it into our setup, and doing all the necessary testing.

    The story is pretty hyped up but good on them anyway.

    It probably means the same as UKUSA.

    Apparently New Zealand has been responsible for Western Pacific regions, while Australia has been "Indochina, Indonesia and southern mainland China." although I'm sure it's not that clean-cut.

    Unless they are using 90 year old guys to give the tests, in which case it might kill him.

    It's kind of weird this would happen. Assuming this isn't a result of legal pressure, I wonder what (happened to have) changed the authors perspective of:

    The following archives are released under the GPL. This is because the GPL helps people learn for free. You may or may not find these archives helpful. Respect the GPL and give credit, and source code, where it is due. Good Luck! web.archive.org.
  7. Off the wire? on Is Apple Tracking iPhone Users Through IMEI? · · Score: 1

    Has anyone actually captured this off the wire? IEMI is self-descriptive, but it'd be interesting to see if it's the full IEMI or something else completely.

    Hmm..

    Most executions of "governence" happen at a local level, federal government is supposed to be a facilitator, not the end-all-be-all. By local, I don't just mean state, or municipal. Societal governence occurs right down to the business owners, and the hackers who post such flippants attempts at cheating. That's where the "real" policy decisions happen.

    The original intent of the founding fathers was that regular people would run for office and represent the best interests of their constituents

    Seriousley. You live in a democracy. You have a lot of problems. Fix it yourself. Not sure how? Ask for help.

    Those of us in our own home regions have our own problems, and every country and collective of residents faces problems of their own.
