Well of course and let me tell you that both VHF and UHF suffer the line of sight problem.
But you're right - I've pulled in 20 or 30 stations with a piece of 8 to 10 foot long wire from my first floor place. Just insert it into the center pin where the cable F connector would normally go.
And those of us in Urban environments tend to get better service that way anyhow.
Due to some verbiage placed into a Supreme Court ruling in the 19th century, corporations suddenly had the same rights as we flesh and blood entities.
The case in question is Southern Pacific Railroad vs. Santa Clara County in 1886. The head reporter for the court inserted language into the judgement that asserted corporations had the same rights as people.
That court reporter was one Bancroft Davis - may he be rotting in hell!
In the United States it runs about 50% Android, 49% IOS and about 1% Windows Phone.
But if you look at worldwide statistics - Android accounts for over 80%.
And here's something I've noted about the average smart phone user. They have absolutely ZERO clue about some of the more fun things you can do with the phone. Like hosing all the google and Facebook apps from the phone. Or using it as a 4G wireless hotspot. And in many instances browsing the web or installing an alternative web browser (I use Chrome on my Android phone).
In essence P.T. Barnum was right, there's one born every minute.
The Microsoft brand name is heavily tarnished. That's why they are dropping it to just be the Windows phone otherwise known as a bloated piece of shit.
The way the fcc treats comments received is each is a unique entity, even if they are submitted by the SAME person. So of that 1.4 million it's likely maybe 100,000 people who sent over and over.
Back a couple years ago the company I worked for got bought out by Dell. Dell had very strong anti-bribery policies in place for both domestic and international scenarios.
For the most part nature gives us the wetware to form connections. It's the white matter that matters after all. It forms the interconnecting network between the neurons.
So nurture has something to do with it too, so too education.
The full lifting of the embargo and establishment of full diplomatic relations with Cuba.
It's been close to a generation and the damage being done is pretty obvious.
I think Cuba is also suffering a brain drain. Those who could get out after Baptista and the Bay of Pigs did. What was left was the rabble. But they survived, even under our stupidity.
And up until the 1950's Cuba was a veritable tropical playground.
But I am hopeful - I think we're a the crux between bio-mechanical devices and regenerative medicine. The difference, one replaces your heart with a mechanical contrivance, the other with tissue engineered from your own cells. I'd favour the latter. Or wetware over hardware.
And I don't recall if anyone else watched the space sci-fi show Space 1999 back in the day, but Professor Victor Bergman had an artificial heart.
Is that if the device in the car prevents the phone from functioning the manufacturer of the device will get a visit from the FCC. If it's accelerometer based - ok fine. But nothing prevents the person from using a different phone, a burner if you will.
But another thought comes up - will passengers be able to text and use their phones? Or is the device indiscriminate?
You know we're still putzing with 4m or 10m connections in the U.S. when a country like Korea is rolling giga to the curb for most of the country and at a price considerably cheaper than what we pay.
Exactly - it's the Kernel stupid! And I've used say Ubuntu Server 14 and Ubuntu Desktop 14. They're pretty much identical under the hood with the exception that the Gnome GUI is the old component missing on the server.
Hmm - that is interesting. I figure you could get a likely four tier bunk in perhaps three or four rows. I wouldn't mind being flat and sleeping while I fly.
Screw the aircraft. Take the train. Well, if you live on the eastern seaboard that is. The inside of business class reminds me of what aircraft USED to be like. Wide seating, plenty of leg room even when seats are reclined. Kudos to Amtrak for realizing people want to be comfortable.
I take the Acela occasionally, from South Station in Boston to Providence, RI. Price ranges from $37 to $53 for business class depending on WHEN you buy the ticket. And it reduces a 70 minute commuter rail journey down to 40 minutes. Zoom!
Because I have a USB stick with GParted boot on it that does EVERYTHING and includes HFS, HFS+, NTFS, FAT32, ext2, ext3 and ext4. I think XFS is even in there.
I just love how we're taking the incremental steps to fully autonomous vehicles.
And I'd LOVE to see the specs for the car to car communication. Because I'll lay even money that security was one of the last thoughts of the engineers and that the C2C interface will have direct access to the cars CAN bus or whatever it is GM uses these days. Fun times!
Just download JFFNMS - it's a Net Monitoring system more than capable enough to watch 500+ servers. It can also be configured to do email and text alerting. It monitors CPU, Memory, Disk etc. It's pretty much the open source version of Nagios.
The TI-8x line uses all Z80 derived CPU's. So they're very hackable.
But the other thing about the TI-8x line is if you take a short amount of time you realize you can program the hell out of it. So if for example you're required to memorize formulas, just program them in.
That said - a simple solution to breaking the monopoly would be a rule that during tests all cell phones are in airplane mode. Problem solved.
If you think that's bad check out your natural gas billing. They use this little thing called a therm factor. In essence that factor changes regularly, goes down in the warmer months, back up in the cooler months. So in essence, despite what the industry defenders will say how therm factor is a legitimate practice I counter with absolute bovine effluent - it is a markup and the incumbent utilities have the nerve to actually show the markup disguised as therm factor.
Yes in fact Windows 8 did a face plant at it's introduction. Just look at the interface - did an ADHD sufferer design it? It's awful. I mean Windows has long had a tiling option but that just took it to ridiculous extremes.
Something else to note about Microsoft OS's. Odd numbered versions tend to be the most stable - the even numbered are flaming pieces of crap starting with NT4 and then Vista, and Win 8. XP (5) and Win 7 were ok though.

The amateur radio club I once belonged to had a lot of older guys who had served in either the Atlantic or Pacific theaters in World War II.
The one thing they ALL remarked on was the mud. They estimate they must have had to truck in all the mud.
They were good guys - alas many have now died off.

I guess HP didn't buy into that so much.

Back in 2010 RIPTA got money to buy a number of Hybrid Gillig buses. So 5MPG becomes 10MPG and so on.
But bus service in RI mostly focuses on the urban side - with routes of 2 to 5 miles. So they'd benefit from going all electric.

They're treating it with decongestants and broncodialors.

Slartibartfast! I'd wondered where you'd popped off too as Magrathea says they couldn't find you.
Agreed - if you're really intent use a throwaway FRS or MURS radio.
