On the other hand, if it has handwriting recognition (unlikely), a complete office package (iWork or whatever), a system for managing files and applications (a Finder), a universal clipboard, and a system with a very cleaver user ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=57 Here is a list I compiled while programming my HT and mobile rig. Anything that says "STRONG" gave me an S9 with my 10 dB attenuator attached. Anything that says "STRONG+" gave me full-scale reading with the attenuator. I am located near the U of A campus.

The interface had to handle audio (both going from the radio to the computer, and vice-versa), as well as keying the transmitter. Not wanting to spend ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=55 "nationalized economy" is a sure bet towards government-run industries, funded by your tax dollars. Obama assures us that, under his plan, 44% of Americans will not have to pay income tax, and an estimated 47 million people (that is, persons within the US boarder, citizen or not) will receive free ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=53 Bill Ayers, domestic terrorist turned University of Illinois professor, gave an interview November 14th to Good Morning America. Among the many telling and down-right crazy statements Ayers made is the following, a statement about the war in Vietnam: "What you call the violent past, that was a time when thousands of ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=52 According to an article over at Yahoo Finance, the bailout is currently about 3.5 trillion dollars. This is money "given" from you and I to companies that made poor decisions. The model of capitalism is ideally similar to that of "survival of the fittest." Which means that over time, the ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=51 I've heard just about enough of this, so I'm going to write about it. Some people have basically accused Palin of costing McCain the election. It's true that I've met people that didn't "mind" McCain, but couldn't "stand" Palin. So those votes were certainly influenced. But who's fault is that? ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=50 And so the fallout begins. Of the voting population, the crowd under 30 voted 66% in favor of an Obama presidency. Apparently voting for a man with no pride in America, associations with terrorists that are more than passing, and a basically terrifying view of in-utero rights was no problem ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=49 I know it isn't popular in the media to judge candidates based on anything other than their party affiliations, but I think it is entirely relevant to judge character based on associations. A 507 group has released the following advertisement which paints a clear picture of Obama's character: I urge those ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=48 William Ayres, the man that launched Obama's political career, is a dangerous man. The evidence against him, while staggering, is tainted because of technicalities involved with the wire tap on his phone. I found an interesting blog post that summarizes the duo's connections pretty well, but I think this video ... http://lfnet.net/blog/?p=46
