    The allocations do restrict phone use (voice) and data in a few places, but other than that... the bandplan is voluntary. We may not like you for doing it, but nothing really stops you from doing fast-scan television and data for telemetry on 70cm or the like.

    Not really.

    1. Base station in an open area or on the roof, and now you have a very clear view of the sky.
    2. We make devices for steering antennas already. Usually used for ASAT work. Stick a GPS chip in your UAV and have it return it's coordinates, do the same with the base station, and now your antenna system knows exactly where it needs to point.

    At those frequencies you're pretty much golden if you have line of sight, for a considerable distance.

    This here's an ad-hominem attack. How about you fight the argument, not the arguer?

    I respect it as an OS, but it does not work for me.

    It does too many things that just... rub me the wrong way. I will admit they are probably (rather, most likely) shallow stupid things, but that doesn't change the way I feel about it when I try to use it.

    Seems like straight up discrimination, to me. Don't really see why this is handled or viewed any differently.

    That's funny. I've had several pleasant conversations with cops.

    It helps when you're not an adversarial dickbag to the cops.

    How is this off-topic? I disagree with the ruling, and point to a link that explains my reasoning in a much better way than I could.

    Sounds pretty on-topic, to me.

    I need some form of rolling update though. It's not acceptable to me that you have to reinstall just to move to the next release.

    Sigh, no happy median for me.

    I'd rather avoid either - but if I had the choice, I'd take the "Zionist" over government.

    A properly coded GUI or website is just as data-entry friendly than a green-screen.

    Hell you don't even need to have a field-exit key. Just tab to the next field.

    If I want to talk to someone, I will.

    If I want to get something done, unless said "something" is to speak to someone, I want to get it done - whether or not interaction with others is required.

    I'm getting very tired of installing a new JRE and JDK over and over again, including the JCE.

    Suggested pages etc all get flagged as spam from my end. If I can't flag it, I will leave a nasty comment behind.

    There's a reason I adblock. Shove your product/service/whatever right up your ass sideways.

    You wouldn't have anywhere near the accuracy you'd need - especially after one or more collisions. Even a full-blown laser-gyro INS drifts.
