Re: 147.435 - The Repeater Beyond Human Comprehension
Example of the weird jamming that goes on at K6MWT late at night. The jamming also goes on during the day. And I know industrial musicians who love this stuff. They sample and reuse it all the time--and the hams don't know it's happening. I guess these nerds are on disability or something--who else...

Re: Holes: Arktos Media and Jason Reza Jorjani
Here are two Stoney Brook Philosophy graduates in Jacobin going after the "postmodernism" they think let Jorjani get that Ph.D which has so blackened the college's reputation . It wasn't PoMo; Jorjani is half-Iranian and he used the more exotic parts of his background** to create his thes...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
Well, I'm trying to give the fools a reason to watch this forum. Thus: m Created in 2011 with a massive copyright violation. Speedy-deletion was tried and refused. m m It attracted some diddling by various people for 6 years. Somebody stuck some really nasty comments in it on 10 March. ("Lord M...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
Alison mentioned this guy on Facebook -- there is a petition demanding that he resign his seat on the Dail.
So I checked his Wiki article

And sho'nuff he's been editing it himself.....

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
m That's the thing wealthy people are beginning to realize about websites--they're easier to censor than print media. They're stupid and wrong, but it doesn't stop them. Didn't stop Jimbo..... Speaking of censored websites: Whether you're wondering or not, Ricketts has a Wikipedia bio. Which shows s...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
Discussing small fry distracts from exposing the big fish. Does this forum intend to chronicle the edits of every conflicted wikipedia editor ? That would obviously be impossible. And I would call Gorski a "big fish" because he's an administrator. Okay? This thread is mostly for dropping ...

Re: The WO blog is now nearly moribund.....
You wanted me to coordinate sending you HTML file back-ups of WO blog posts. I'm not sure how many I can attach to an email. I know....might be easier to put them on a flash drive or SD card and mail it to me. My mailing address, as most people have realized by now, is on my company's website. ....

Re: Trump subthread: Awful Command and Control of ICBMs
Eric Schlosser wrote Command and Control , a book and later documentary on the history of US nuclear weapons and the endless accidents that happened during the Cold War. I recently read this--highly recommended. The USAF did something incredibly stupid, they fielded the Titan II as an "interdi...

Hochman is a bullshit artist. And not an especially good one either.
