Yes, you have to have an FCC Amateur license. It's free to have the actual license, and the test costs a whopping $15. Your license lasts for 10 years and can be renewed (for free) indefinitely (with a 2-year grace - renew within 12 years of getting it and you just have to fill out a form, no test).
As far as I'm aware your allowed to listen to just about anything, of course taking privacy laws and any local ordinances etc.
I prefer my handheld tribander. I can still talk on CB if I want, but it can do sooo much more (and it -is- a wideband receiver so you can listen to just about anything* that's unencrypted.)
* - Other than cellular phone frequencies (which are protected by FCC regs and Federal law) anything the antenna and electronics can pull from the air is fair game.
Generally a slow deceleration will get rid of most tailgaters. If you want to be nice, just let off the gas and let friction/gravity do the job, and if you do so gentle enough they might not even get mad (it just pushes them out of the impatient area and into the actively-avoid area). If you want to send a message, a couple gentle (GENTLE!) taps on your brake to pulse your lights usually does the job, though this tends to make them angry at the same time.
That said, if someone's tailgating you there's generally a reason. Check your speed and lane to make sure YOU aren't being the jerk.
You might see the warned car beeping, but it might just do things you won't notice.
and if you start to brake, it could brake harder.
A good way to get someone killed. People generally don't lack for foot-power when they panic, and amplifying it can exacerbate issues when the road conditions are less than ideal.
In my experience, the drivers in the front simply don't notice or deliberately don't respond to you. Tailgating, even headlight-flashing doesn't do the job.
No, because the original guy isn't going any faster than you. Which means there is less space, which means you have to slow down to recover it. Which will: 1. Allow another idiot to slip in perpetuating the process 2. Piss off everyone behind you
This would work, though you should make sure to cut the first few seconds off. In just about every graphics benchmark I've ever seen, the initial few frames stutter madly as the process starts before the GPU has finished loading everything into VRAM.
Squeeze is pretty damn modern. You'd also be surprised at how modern Centos 6 feels, though it will be nice when Centos 6.1 rolls out and we actually start getting updates again:/
Sounds like you want Debian, Redhat/Centos, or SuSE. In other words, you want an enterprise release. Ubuntu (no matter how good the disguise they don) is not an enterprise release.

You missed the "can make the situation worse" and "go cause an accident themselves" part did you? That's only my entire post.
True enough, but to be honest I'd rather not go through the trouble (and risk of actual serious injury) just to prove a (minor, really) point.

I'm 33 degrees North. It's hardly the frozen north. But it still gets cold in the winter.
No, you're the one who didn't, else I wouldn't need to repeat the grandparent.
It's a shame they don't have rear-facing high beams and horns...

You know why they do that? Because your plates are impossible to read, so they have to get extra super close so they can check them.

Clearly you've not been around very many H2s. The shockwave from the douchexplosion can take you out a thousand feet away. (a joke. I agree with you.)
Great! So all the pissed off people behind me can make the situation worse, or get pissed off more and go cause an accident themselves.
I think the idea is that truck and bus transport have actual reasons to be huge and obstructive.
Yea, because I'm going to bike 5 miles to work in the snow and ice.

You did... somehow my brain skipped right over that. Apologies.
I'm guessing you've not played any multitrheaded games then?
The controls are plenty responsive. The visual feedback is not.
Outlier filtering is hardly complicated.

NOTE: "CentOS 6.1 current status : 16 packages still don't built/link like they should. So no installable tree/ISO is currently available for the QA team to test. no ETA for that" ( just over a week ago )

The GOP? You really want to blame a single party for that?
Here's a tip: they are ALL too busy fucking us to care.
Only if by "hold" you mean "stick in their eyes"
