Um, the FCC ameatur radio exam mandates that you must be able to receive text at 15 WPM, not be able to send it. You must then take a short multiple-choice test on what happened during the encounter or be able to transcribe a certain number of characters correctly. So... your VEC wasn't doing you any favor. Also, the FCC doesn't test you, a VEC does... you must have gotten your ticket a long time ago.
Actually XP updates download and restart my computer for me - without even asking - I find it horribly annoying because it ends up happening at the most inconenvient moments possible.
What my question is, if that battery is dead, can you still get into your car... also, copying your 'key' would cost a fortune, because you'd have to buy another USB key from the dealer, unless you could copy them, which would create even bigger problems.
If someone reports the user to the librarian, the librarian walks over, what power do they have? The person will most likely close the window when they see the librarian. Is the librarian allowed to ask the person to leave or ask person to stop using the computer? Is there a standard policy for what to do, and the librarian isn't following it or does the person just make it up when they catch somebody?
Netboz is a solution... it runs off a CD and has many of the popular options.
instead of running it off of the CD, I suggest that you use one of the pre-configured firewall options that installs off of your hard drive. These are just as easy to configure, but host a lot more options and mods.
First off, we're comparing HF to VHF (FM) to 2.4 ghz. and that comparison is very hard! I must say that a moon bounce with wi-fi would definetely be very cool. you can also bounce radio waves off of the northern lights and there are many odd tricks that happen with propagation, with so many possibilities, everything is possible. Look, people have communicated accross the world with 5-10 watts of power (10 meters) and great engineering and research. and also, power isn't everything. antennas are what makes it or breaks it. I don't know a lot about the 2.4 ghz area, but some of the things people are suggesting are just crazy.

Well, I've used to be an AOL user, (this is how it was then) and some people seem to be looking at this the wrong way. Not all of your mail is stored on AOLs server. Your personal filing cabinet actually sits on your computers hard drive. When you see mail in your inbox or sent or whatever, it will normally only stay there for a week and then it is downloaded to your computers hard drive, in the form of your personal filing cabinet. Using an IMAP client would allow you to download the messages which are still on AOL's servers, but it wouldn't allow you to retrieve anything from your personal filing cabinet, which stores almost all of your mail. You CAN however access your personal filing cabinet without an AOL account because you don't have to sign on to view it, you can view it offline. So, download the mail from aol using and IMAP client and then kill your aol connection, but don't uninstall AOL from the computer. To view the old mail, just open up your personal filing cabinet. Everytime you find a piece of mail that you need in the personal filing cabinet, just copy and paste it into the new e-mail program. Eventually, you'll just be able to save the personal filing cabinet file and uninstall AOL.
Um, this isn't the first. In Iowa, specifically Iowa City, this was implemented 2 years ago in junior high and high schools and 1 year ago it was implented in elementary schools. There are both pros and cons for the system, but after a while, people get used to it. I'm currently 16 and attend one of the high schools it was implented in and yes, my friends and I laughed at it when it was introduced, mainly because we have drivers licenses and jobs.... and the school now wants to monitor what we eat.
I don't really consider it to be a violation of my rights..... Your parents already know what you eat. I eat at least 10 meals with them every week. Most parents never login to the accounts and never look at what their student eats because they TRUST them. The main key is trust. At 16, if you cannot trust your child to choose lunch then there are much larger problems. I will go to college in 1 year..... Who cares if I get a cookie or something else. It's FOOD, not drugs.
The system we use will also allow parents to decide what their students can eat through the crappy web interface for the program. So, kid #1 comes up the cash register and types in his PIN and shows the cookie to the lunch lady. She then tells him that he's not allowed to have cookies. In return, kid #1 turns to the kid behind him, normally a friend, says, hey buy this for me and hands kid #2 the 50 cents.
When you come up to the food place, you type in your 5 digit PIN number. (yes, which are assigned to you in order by your last name, so you could pretty much just type in somebody elses PIN and no one would ever notice..... and to make sure you don't do this, they ask you if you are Alex when you type in Alex's PIN, just in case you were stupid enough to say no.) The first trimester of school, lunch was twice as slow because 1., the lunch ladies & computers, well let's just say it was a challenge for them to use a touch screen and a mouse. 2., irresponsible students would forget their number, so they'd have to find somebody to look it up, which would keep the line clogged for several minutes. It was much more convenient to just use cash without the system. Later on after people figured out how the system worked, it became faster and more convenient than having to use cash.
There were several security problems with the system..... the parent number was a certain value higher than the child's number and by default and the password was always "password" If people wanted, they could go through number by number, yes they just increase by 1 everytime and 1., see how much cash is in each account as well as getting the students name OR just make it so the student couldn't eat anything.... an unpleasant surprise...
So, yes it was a pain in the beginning and it's insulting than your parents don't trust you to pick food, but once people have gotten used to it, it's become more convenient.
I found this very interesting, being a high school student. I disagree that computers are holding high school students back. Sure, there are some who stay up to 4:00 AM playing computer games when they should be doing their homework, but on the other hand, there are those who use computers to help them.
I use computers every day of my life (and not all of it is for school work (well, I am posting to slashdot...)), but I have a 4.0 (straight A's an I am in honors and AP courses). As always, there are two sides to the story. Computers are one of the most useful tools available to students, if they use them correctly. All my teachers require all essays and other homework to be typed.
I have the whole range of teachers, from those who use computers way too much in their classes to those who I have never used a computer in class for. My english teacher prints her tests of the internet as well as getting all of her class material from the internet. I find this a horrible method and I have lost all respect for this teacher.
Then, I have teachers who are afraid of our use of the internet and tell us that we can only use books from our school library and that we aren't allowed to use the computers. I think that if teachers and many other adults had a better understanding of how teenagers use computers, that they would be much more useful for both teachers and students.
Just my opinion....

This doesn't fit what you're looking for exactly, but it fill help the problem of having to plug wall worts into your power strip. It is basically a 12 inch extension cord that plugs into your power strip so that the transformer doesn't take more than one outlet up. "Get full use of your power strips and UPS outlets with this premium power cable from Cables Unlimited! Just plug this cable between your bulky power adapter and any unused outlet and this revolutionary designed space saving cable acts as a 1' extension, giving you a little extra length to get into hard to reach places." http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/ SearchTool s/item-details.asp?EdpNo=392776&CatId=1284
One solution that has worked for some people is to look for a large cheap pentium II server on eBay. You can usually get one for less than $200. 300 mhz is enough for casual file sharing if you put the maximum amount of ram in and put in a few IDE cards. Server 2k runs easily on these, but linux doesn't always because of propreitary hardware.

yeah, that's true, but it's also possible to deal with static, with good engineering.
