The HAM license is required for legal use of the FPV 1280 MHz video links and frequency hopping UHF control systems on the ARS 433 MHz bands in the US. They transmit at powers of 500 mW ~ 1000 mW which allows control ranges greater then 10 miles line of sight.
Warning: FPV is not a cheap or easy hobby! It requires a great deal of electrical, mechanical, engineering, radio, and flying skills to be successful.
The RCG FPV Forum is good place to learn more.
I also like horseradish with a bit of barbecue sauce swirled in for sweetness with my fries.
You should try dressing the Ketchup up with some real flavor like you do with the pizza.
Cumin and cinnamon, in close to equal amounts to taste, are the cure for plain ketchup.
Discovered and reversed engineered from a pub that served "spicy ketchup" with a basket of fries.
An offensive use of space based focused solar energy or powerful earth based lasers could also be to cause chaos in an enemy country by starting fires in cities and drought affected regions.
there are only a few ways to re-image a MacBook, and none are fast enough
We use network asr reimaging for all our macs. During the summer we turn our networks into the equivalent of radio stations, multicast broadcasting the new images for the year over all the switches. We publish a command to the machines to switch to the network for boot to kick the process off. We can reimage all 3000 student cart macbooks and all 1500 labs imacs in under a week. The work part of the process is getting the laptops out of the carts and hooked up to power and ethernet and putting them back in once they complete. During the year we switch to imaging using netboot with afp images delivered unicast over gig links for one off repairs. We use the same unicast netboot tech for our windows units so we can be more selective of which image goes with which hardware. Windows is a real pain compared to the universal osx images we deploy.
The actual policy is you can do whatever the heck you want as long as you get your job done. But if you pissed someone off enough that they want to fire you they will look at your internet history as a justification.
That is so true. And even if your internet history is spotless, they will keeping digging till they find a reason to fire you.
I know it doesn't matter to them, but I was really looking forward to AC2. I just got back from a trip to Italy and was enamored with the game's setting. I was all ready to pull the trigger on AC2 the moment it was offered. Hell I was also on a Steam binge in which I bought many games I still haven't played, and even some old ones I have no intention of playing in a fit of consumerism. But once I found out it was going to have online only DRM I was very disappointed and decide not to buy. I have a few games in my collection that are limited activations DRM that I am not too happy about but still bought them, but this new limit was just a bridge too far for me. I play most of my single player games offline in places with no internet connect. If I have an internet connection I tend to playing something multiplayer or just read on the web. When people like me who want their game, take pride in their legit game collection, are completely turned off by the delivery of a product, they have truly screwed up and lost the good faith of their customers. Ubisoft turned the potential buyer of one of their games into someone who will never buy any of their games. Snatching defeat from the mouth of victory.
I can confirm that this is a real problem. I worked with a early release of the Eagle Eyes eye mouse with a family member with ALS. The signals were too weak at times to be usable. It was also very taxing to try to control and centering issues were difficult frustrating to deal with. If you are going to try this path, you should start before they really need it so there is time to train and learn to efficiently control the system.
This will break the internet. I have it on good authority that if you type "Google" into Google, you can break the internet. So please, no one try it. Just don't. Even for a joke. It's not a laughing matter, you can break the internet.

CAPTCHA for license plates is amusing since they are designed to be easily readable. Taking lessons from current CAPTCHA tech they could harness free wet-ware post processing. Make the interesting hard to read plates available as CAPTCHAs on gov websites.
If you see your own plate you could type the wrong tag and try to avoid a speeding or parking ticket.
While this an interesting development, a less invasive approach is in the works to help disabled people use computers in the near term. An electro-oculographic cursor control system from Boston College called Eagle Eyes will start selling for $1,200 each in early 2007.
The Opportunity Foundation of America is working with them to promote and subsidize the cost of the units to as little as a $200 donation. Such a system will fill a much needed niche for communication and education systems for people with ALS and other motor control disabilities.
I've noticed that the vast majority of spam emails I receive are barely literate, to the point that in some cases one can hardly discern the product or service being advertised.
My theory is such spam is being used as a covert channel of communication. If they send a secret message to a million people instead of just the intended recieptient, it hides the secret of the sender / reciever connection in the noise aswell.
A friend waited in the hype cue at a Wallmart for 8 hours and picked one up last night. Apparently they had 32 to sell and and a line of 50 people. At 10mins before midnight a guy shows up walking the line waving 300 bucks for someones spot in line. Needless to say someone thought having his xbox mostly paid for a little later, rather then tonight, was worth giving up his spot.
But thankfuly not my pixel junkie mate and I got to play it. Overall it seems really solid but out of the 4 games he got, nothing grabbed me. His long wait for a native title that can push this new system to its limit has begun.
The lack of silt replenishment problem is vexxing.
Perhaps a series of controlled silty floods could be executed to raise the city's foundations before rebuilding commences. This would serverly push back the move back date, but would put them in a better situation in the future. What is the deposition height per flood? How many floods would it take to make up the 10ft below sealevel shortfall they have currently?
Seems mandating all new structures be built on adjustable extendable pilings so they can be ratcheted up as the city sinks and in preperation for the next uncontrolled flood would be sesnible.

I thought his acting was quite good once the special effects were added.

No need, they do that already.
And this illustrates a common reason why earthlink customers dont get emails sent to them.
It's user@earthlink.net not user@earthlink.com
A P2P (Planet to Planet) digital transfer of copyrighted material brings the RIAA lawyers out like giant worms to a ground thumper.

I use to have this problem till I discovered Mr Yuk.
Now I just put the Mr Yuk on my cans and lunch bags and noone dares touch them in the staff fridge.

They updated the rootkit to version 2.1, the new and less invasive "1m 5ry" build.

I think this image was doctored by Steve Ballmer so he could say...

Yeah if you want audiophile quality music, buy the cd.
Oh wait..

If we renamed GNU to ® or (TM),
instead of Linux/GNU we can now just say Linux® or Linux(TM).
I'm pretty sure nobody has gone up in arms over the much-hated "time hack"
Rockstar are using the "time hack" for thier defense.
It's the NEXT game, the Big New Thing, that will suck. :)
