since the Author's Guild is being such a prick i am going to dust off my Hallicraftors and use text to speech and broadcast as many books on the shortwave band the next few weekends for anyone to listen to on the 40 meter shortwave band, free to anyone that can listen, and home brewing an AM broadcast band transmitter for the same purpose...
Chinese electronics are cheap and inferior crap, i would rather buy Japanese electronics just compare any Japanese made ham radio (or any radio) to its Chinese counterpart, too bad the USA does not do much anymore in the way of manufacturing (thank you globalism for destroying the US manufacturing capabilities)...

i talk with a small group of friends mostly, out of 5 of us only one is a licensed amateur operator, we only talk for an hour or two in the evenings after work & after supper, we dont want to deal with callsigns & protocols because we know who we are just by the sound of our voices, were all just working folks and want to keep the conversation casual without callsigns, so getting a license would mean all of us would have to get licenses, but we all could manage to scrape together the cash to buy a few radios if the opportunity arises...
lol, i agree, i would not install a amp on my CB (base or mobile) for anything in the world, i dont want the excess RF radiating in to my body, i have a factory stock cobra 148 with just a 5/8ths wave antenna for a base station, and a cobra 25 for a mobile, i manage just fine with 4 watts until the DX/Skip starts rolling and i cant to to friends and associates across town anymore but i can talk to people several states away unless a big boy radio starts talking with gobs of watts, i would be glad to use 900Mhz using only 2 to 4 watts with a yagi beam since the wavelength at 900 megs would make the elements of the yagi just an inch or two at most it would be easy to manage with my small tower and a little TV antenna rotater...
thanks for the MURS wiki link, yes even some VHF spectrum would be decent for the working folks, the 27MHZ CB radio has become a crowded ghetto. and with the sun cycle starting up with all those illegally over powered 27MHz radios it is going to quickly become an unusable mess...
a small chunk of UHF spectrum given to the citizens of the USA to be unlicensed like 27 mhz CB radio, allowing 4 or 5 watts and any external antenna you wish to buy or build, with the sun cycle starting up again 27 mhz CB radio is going to be a complete mess for the next 5 to 7 years making local communication on 27 mhz CB radio almost impossible, since uhf does not get the DX/skip propagation conditions like HF (including 27 mhz CB radio) it would benefit many citizens and especially truck drivers that only want to talk locally to people within a few miles of their vicinity.
and do not say 'get those FRS radios they sell at walmart' because those are worthless little pieces of junk without any decent wattage on TX (1/4 watt) and the speaker audio is not good for a noisy environment like the inside of a tractor or an 18 wheeler, many truckers and farmers would benefit from a decent UHF CB radio...
i would be willing to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a good quality UHF CB radio, and i am not interested in getting an amateur radio (ham) license...
i explain to my windows XP loving brother that if he can install software and make system wide changes without entering an admin/root password then malware can too, he just looks at me with that deer in the headlights look in his eyes...
i just downloaded and build 2.6.27.14 and the tar.gz source code package was something like 61 megs, out of that 61 megs of source code. the kernel image itself is 1.1 meg and the modules i selected to include all installed to/lib/modules/2.6.27.14/* and it weighs in at 10 megs.
just because the kernel source is BIG does not mean the compiled/installed package is going to be big too, depends on the builder, i build my own custom kernels trimming the fat by not building support for hardware i do not own, but of course distro builders will build in more support to handle as much hardware as feasible and still have a responsive and usable kernel so the default/generic kernel in most distros will be considerably larger but will still run almost as good as any custom kernel...
pull your head out of the sand (or your ass) as other replies state Vista did not take like you say the next ms OS would/should, same with win7, people are tired of microsoft's gimmicks and want something solid, Linux can deliver this, i have not used Citrix so i can not say either way about it, 10/4 that's a roger, over & out...
this is exactly backwards, it would be better to make microsoft's closed & proprietary file formats & protocols illegal, and force microsoft to use open file formats & protocols that are not written by microsoft...
