Radio is unique in that it can, particularly in the guise of bands like the FM band, address the area around the station in a high fidelity, live and timely manner for citizens who are parked in their recliners, jogging, or just out walking their dog.
... sounds like LPFM would work. You talk about addressing them, etc. You could do that under the guise of education. Unless you are just looking to be a DJ. Your post didn't imply that to me.
I'm an extra-class ham.
You didn't mention that in the parent post. or great-grandparent post... I didn't get to the bottom of the discussion by the time I commented. (I'm a general) Sure, you can't broadcast, but (1) you have a group of somewhat-like minds and (2) if you are operating 2m/70cm/etc. on repeaters you effectively have a 'broadcast range', you can strike up a conversation and get your message out... your posts made it sound like you didn't want to disc jokey, more of a community service type operation.
Tell me that again after VS has crashed for the second time in a day, or mysteriously added new connection strings to your project resources for no apparent reason,
Can't say I've ever had any of those problems...
or decided, once again, to reorder the code in your designer file,
Ah. Dude. Seperate your presentation from your logic (model-view-controller, etc...). Your designer file should **just** have UI code in it. Theres regions for the machine based stuff and regions for the person-generated stuff. Keep the person-generated stuff to a minumum. Again, I haven't come across that problem...
generating massive conflicts when you update your local source tree, or strangely repositioned the scrollbars when you opened up a dataset and started navigating, or...
Again, I can't complain. I use C++ and C#... never had any serious problems with them.
I tried code::blocks about 2 years ago, I wasn't a fan. Can't remember my exact complaint... when I do have to program on Linux, I generally use gvim and a terminal to 'make'.

That's the beauty of virtualization on the Intel Macs. You cease worrying about which OS is the best compromise; you simply use the best OS for the task at hand.
So can my PC. But its cheaper. And has more power.
Games and Visual Studio (10%, 75% respectively). Even the freebie versions beat the crap out of any IDE I've seen for linux. Yes, I've used Eclipse and the other major players...
Because the 0.5% of 100% has a much greater potential for growth... pump up the advertizing, work up some new expansions/tie-ins/etc. and build your market share. The 50% of 2% has stagnated.
This whole thing was a lot of fud. Scott Lowther finally talked to GD, and there was NOTHING wrong with the content on his site... and they know NOTHING about shredding at KSC. Furthermore, the only reference to shredding at KSC is a second-hand anonymous quote. It was probably an isolated incident, if even...
And shame on/. for not doing even the slightest bit of research... no other news source was carrying this stuff, the only place you could find it were two postings by Lowther on forums.nasaspaceflight.com and alt.space.history. But of course, when kdawson saw the reference to Karl Rove, he just couldn't help himself.
All I have to say on the matter is that rocket science is dangerous business, the same goes for any kind of challenging engineering.
Agreed. There will be loss of life. However, if the accident occurred as I've heard it (the result of a cold flow through an igniter test), then these deaths are particularly sad. All they were doing was running laughing gas through an injector. There was no need for people to be exposed during the test. They should have been in a bunker. I just hope this wasn't a case of complacency. That's not what alt.space needs right now.
He gave nearly the same presentation at the AIAA Joint Propulsion Conference two years ago now. It was a good talk, over all. However, he is a bit of a dreamer. I'm not saying that is completely a bad thing. But if you believe for one second that SpaceShipOne can be scaled up to an orbital vehicle - something he implied in his presentation - I have oceanfront property in Arizona you might be interested in. Nice bridge, too...
He is right that the little guys have their chance at space - look at Armadillo Aerospace, XCOR, Masten Space Systems, etc. They are all realizing the dream, watching their budgets and doing their best to lower the cost of entry to space. And if they do, that will be something unique.
A third and tangential point - NASA and the alternative space community have differing goals; so the 'If you think a government space program has any chance of accomplishing anything' really doesn't make much sense. 'Burt Rutan and his goals and how he hopes to accomplish them'... Government funded space programs have sent probes from the sun, to past Pluto, to Mars, landed men on the moon, hosted men and women in earth orbit. What has Burt Rutan done again? Two suborbital space shots? I think NASA did that back in the 50's...
(I'm an aerospace engineer. I also used to work for the Army designing missiles, I now work for NASA designing Ares. You might think I'm biased, but I do know people working in alt.space. I wish them all the best, and from my discussions with some of them, they know what their position is in history. What they are doing has been done before, their goal is to lower the cost of entry and raise the flight count per year. Achieving that will be a great success and open up space to the masses...)
EQ actually has a sanctioned casino... you buy tokens with your platinum (currency), and turn in tokens for a roll at prizes. There are different casino games for each class. You can win minor prizes like fireworks, food, and more tokens to play with. The big prize is a 'Golden Ticket', which you then turn in for a random prize (which includes rare-ass uber items that were nerfed or don't drop anymore, super fast mounts, etc.) Its a good money sink on the economy, EQ needs it:)
I don't know, but 90% of the functions you would consider necessary to make a 'stone age' phone modern, I don't want. All I want is a basic phone, enough buttons to dial and end a call with good sound quality. That's it. Call me Neanderthal, but I like my cell phones to make phone calls, my coffee pots to make coffee, and my women to...;-)
interesting. I haven't really played since 2 months after the launch (hit 60 and was nothing to do)... I did run a casino for a short time myself, it was legit, and fun... I dressed up my character, role played, and had drinks and themed food. Small time shop didn't run more than a few hundred gold either way but it was a fun experience.
I know other games don't make it as easy to convert your 'real' money to virtual currency, but I have yet to see a player-run casino banned in Everquest, EQ2, etc. (Can't speak for WoW... didn't play long enough to tell).

I work over at Marshall and we've had no such issues...
actually, I think I had it backwards... there was some confusion with the person I had gotten the clarification from. Looks like it was Glenn. My bad.
I don't get owned, I don't own a cell phone :) I have a phone at home, a phone at work, and a 5 minute drive in between. I can live with that.
Charles May. Not Glenn May. That was a misreport.
