Think of it as a stealth mode startup seeking to disrupt the living paradigm.
As a young ham, myself and another member of our club were rebuked for what we thought was a clever workaround to a persistent jammer. We came up with a list of repeaters, assigning a number to each. When a jammer would come along, we'd simply say "meet me on number 4" and we'd QSY to that repeater to continue our QSO.
At a subsequent meeting, one of the OM officers of our club told us to knock it off as it could run afoul of the "codes & ciphers" prohibiting of part 97.
Returning to the days of snake oil is not the solution.
Take a look at the market in "herbal supplements & remedies". Snake oil never really left, just got a free pass as long as they slap a tiny disclaimer on the bottle or TV screen.
When Starship Troopers was performed at Rifftrax, they couldn't alter the movie in any way. To get around this, they had the cameras cut away to a silly diversion (Gorilla-grams!), while a non-offending corner of the scene played out in stage right. If you were live in the Belcourt theatre, you got to see the film in all its glory.
Forget it, he's rolling.
Your subject line is 100% on the mark: Failure is the expected & intended result.
Low test scores that result from this test make a great lever to use to privatize schools and/or get rid of teachers that can't get their kids to pass this charade. Corporate America gets to cluck their tongues at the crop of obvious dolts-in-ye-making an lobby their pet congressperson to allow ever more H1-B and offshored/temp labor to compensate.
I'd say this is working as designed.
Pft, lets see a fighter jockey parallel park a F-16.
Agree completely. I must point out (again) that the automatic appeals process costs taxpayers at least $2 million dollars, therefore life in prison/no parole is economically cheaper for taxpayers.
I fear that this would be fixed by getting rid of the appeals instead of doing away with capital punishment entirely.
Mod this up for the worlds first twerking strawman!
Amber keeps getting into strangers cars. When will she ever learn?
Openness to all & the free exchange of ideas and information with curious people doesn't seem compatible with the exclusion of any one group.
As in he never responded to the questions sent. Either that, or the dog ate it.
Looking at the sample telegram, you can tell that theres at least one diehard Twilight Zone fan in that company.
Come to think of it, he never did return his Slashdot interview, did he?
