It really is a shame that people can't see five feet past their own interests
Anyone sad that Broadway won't have *real* musicians anymore? *Yawn*... didn't think so.
Anyone sad that people won't have access to an *open* internet anymore? *Yawn*... didn't think so.
Oh wait? Just the people here? Whose interests and possibly livelihoods depend on it?
You don't think there are people whose interests and livelihoods depend on creating (or even recreating) music? If Broadway isn't your bag, (can't say it's mine) at least show some sympathy for the musicians if you can't bring yourself to care about the art.
I'm not trying to rag on you, but anyone of us could be considered machine-replaceable in the not so distant future.
When they came for the artists blah blah blah I said nothing....
I remember the ARRL actively seeking the dropping of the code requirement. And hear they refer to the change as long awaited...
I agree with your overall assessment of the current state and likely future of the craft, but I've always considered the ARRL to be good stewards of the science.
Considering the expense and investment of time necessary to start in amateur radio, and the fact that the internet duplicates and extends its functionality to such an extent, the Hams decline seems an unfortunate inevitability. It really is too bad. IMing someone in Japan is not the same as shaking the air from Chicago to Kyoto.
That and I'm pretty sure I got an erection the first time I bounced a transmission off the atmosphere. That did not happen with my first e-mail.
"The A330/A340 incorporates advanced technology avionics include data link communication through VHF/satcom/HF; clearly separated communications and navigation displays; and a range of other aids including Traffic alert Collision Avoidance System, dual weather radar and the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System."
All of which can be rendered useless by placing a call on your $29.99 mobile communication device from Radio Shack.
Sounds like the campaign might be working after all.
Absolutely not. For the ad campaign to work, it would have to persuade me/consumers to actually purchase the product. I rather suffer a brain aneurysm than apply "Head On" directly to my forehead.

On the other hand, it's pretty clear that aliens are much cooler than christianity and thus get more geek mindshare. HIGH FIVE!

This madness must stop. Anytime somebody says boxen in real life to me gets a punch in the face.
What's wrong with new words? You need to start thinking outside the boxen.

Only if you fluctuate the harmonic frequency. Otherwise they'll be on to us in no time!
Holes in Magnetosphere's will conceal your location from Romulan Warbirds.
I hope.
