For a while last year I enjoyed blasting a BroadcastWarehouse 1 watt PLL xmtr for about a 3 mile radius on an empty freq (nearest legal station was over 200 miles away) but still the risk of the MIB taking my stereo and computer stuff was a bummer and it's no longer on. Just playing some stuff I like, like weekend marathons of the huge Harry Shearer online archives or old radio programs; some Air Checks and stuff - for a creative person the possibilities are endless.
developers, unlike the mass media hypnotized 'clueless about computers' gullible public fascinated by shiny things, developers CAN tell crap from shinola - so it comes down to does one want to 'sell out' their profession and make some bucks creating/peddling slick, bug ridden, overhyped PC knock off's of other people's ideas or will they hold out for an opportunity to create something really great?

Hey, here's a good one: the Diablo Valley Soccer Club has a 'Red Devils' team, heeee. Where I grew up in WV there's a HS w/ a 'Red Devils' mascott, Oak Hill - but their sites all seem to be/.'d w/o anyone accessing them.
Just point your Netcraft site survey at http://www.widomaker.com and feast yo' peepers on yet another FreeBSD/Apache server - they used to run UnixWare but switched and never looked back. IMHO, FreeBSD seems pretty stable if maybe a little boring - like a machine that does it's job so well you forget it's even there - while a lot of the development excitement surrounds Linux trying to support all hardware and be more things to more people, but I might be hallucinating again. Either way, the price is right!
we do know there are some over-zealous prosecutors; they're not in popular fashion right now like during the worst period of the 'war on drugs', McCarthyism or whatever, but the public mood could revert back to a 'zero tolerance' where any perceived infraction is blown out of proportion in someone's quest to bag a big criminal and get the promotion.

Interestingly (and off-topically) - the Voice of Russia shortwave recently revealed (in a sort of 'cosmoglasnost') that their first space walker had a bit of a panic when his suit inflated so much in the vacuum of space that he couldn't get back in! He actually had to release enough pressure to deflate and get in quick. Brave dude.
Because of problems recovering Liberty Bell 7 -- two days were wasted because of bad navigational data and the recovery vessel kept breaking -- Newport had no time to search for the hatch.
What better way to say "I'm sorry I clobbered your species to keep my wife happy" than to bring them back from extinction, and it would appear to have broad popular appeal, BUT I'm a little skeptical about the ability to find intact DNA after 70+ years of non-optimum storage (in what, formaldahyde, taxidermy?). it's a complex molecule, needless to say - one may be successful but hopelessly disfigured, etc. (not sure how much 'error correction code' DNA uses).
But then PETA will start griping about the Huia farms that spring up when the birds are raised for their feathers and economicaly exploited.

Great site, I luv it!! Love parodies of BS like tabloids and adverts. The above was, I think, lifted from "Ferris Buehler's Day off" almost verbatim right down to the fingernail bit, or was it finger? Anyway, I like playing the "this came from that" game, or was influenced by, blahblah.

I really haven't watched much TV at all since the early 80's - always feel like I'm being slyly programmed and subliminally manipulated by some evil psychologist planting subtle subconscious ideas against my will. I give a lot of attention to Old Time Radio via RealAudio, some 70's Saturday Night (too much disco, actually, bletch), reading Linux Journal (on dead trees) or old magazines.

Besides, democratizing access and sublimating porn are disjoint subjects.

fearmongering about nukes is unjustified, there are lots of plants running now w/o anyone getting "killed". Other than a poorly run plant in a collapsing socialist country having a graphite fire - all perform reasonable well.

Nuclear is here to stay and grow once it gets over the unwarrented public fear of the unknown. There's a fantastic amount of energy in a little bit of matter (e=mc^2).
when they get access to gov documents - it's like someone finds the local fire dept's contigency plans to deal with a fire in the neighborhood, then they go around yelling that gov is planning to burn their house down.

But, as mentioned, Apollo 13 was a 'successful failure' - don't think a mission can realistically return from lunar orbit w/o ground control assistance.
Also, there was in the news recently a blurb about a downed commercial aircraft w/ black box recordings of the last minutes/seconds of the cockpit crew that was not going to be released to the public out of respect for the crew, it was just too personal.

I haven't heard any media talk about objectivity since the BBC on short-wave years ago.
Used to be newspapers openly admitted their editorial political leanings, with names like "The Webster County Republican" or the "Heater Democrat".
