Do the reverse and be slaves to the 1% of richest that keep gettig richer.That's the Republican way.
Convince your peers through lies that government is bad. All government oversight is bad eh ? Why care about inspecting
rails and making laws to protect the people against the greed of the 1% .. there's no need for any oversight of finalcial institutions
no need for people to work their asses off to protect you , ti's government , it's bad .

Bunch of liars, crooks and slaves to the richest of the rich , that is what you are , and you believe their lies.
Swallow their next load of bullshit and be merry. You are a slave. They won , you lost.

Nothing but sit back and relax im in Canada , have no fear if you got nothing to hide.
As long as Americans are comfy in their little houses living their little meaningless pointless lives nothing will change.
Comfort is what keeps the Americans totally immobile while their government fu**s them all. Nothing will change.
Americans will never do anything to save themselves as long as their pillows are comfy.In fact it's going to get worse before
anyone even starts to lift a finger. Way worse , by then , it will be too late for them.

Frankly ,there's nothing on Mars alive today . Even if there has been 100 millions years ago , we're still alone. It don't change a thing in our lives.
Scientific interrest is the only interest. As a human being we got troubles here that need a lot more attention and focusing to solve.
Check Ukraine being invaded by the Soviets. Check wars all around. Do we really want extraterrestrials to see us under that kind of light ?
Warmongering , selfish, murderous ? I'd rather we take the cash from all those studies and solve the real problems we all face.
First on the list is our own extinction.

bandwidth , imho , is less of an issue than download caps from internet providers. if we are to get video content delivery that is affordable , we have first to turn to our local service providers for necessary bandwidth and way higher transfer caps ( if any ) than what we have presently. whatever the way we look at a codec , take it's transfer rate / bandwidth and make a calculation for it's cost ( to we the consumers ) in terms of how much data it will " consume " for a month . That is the one obstacle that i believe is overlooked by a lot of analysts . What is the cost of getting all our media from the internet vs a cable subscription or even over the air hd ( which works well ) ? . Time to make calculations

All i read on the topic makes me think that the best security for the home is still to adopt a wild kodiak bear and let him guard the house in the family's absence . Soft , cuddly , though a bit grumpy on the edges Call Adopt-a-Bear and live happy ;) Tigers , i am told by people in the know , are also excellent to keep a house safe .. who knew ..

" Social networking " is an intelligence gathering tool under cover of being practical . All it does is gather data about you.
Cut off the umbilical.tying you to the secret services and police forces . Shut those accounts down , wipe the data out and never get fooled again by the Americans into trusting them with a single bit of data.

Essential a super good voltmeter , 2 signal generators , a dusl input scope , a frequency counter and a lesser voltmeter , but still 4 digits.
I will pass along that i have a small secondary scope for audio work. It's called a DSO 201 , it's the sixe of a small player , has a decent probe . Goes to 1 mhz. The kit fits in a shirt pocket : note that if you have one check the upgrade to the 4.22 series firmware , it works a lot better. So for audio it all fits in my small case with the computer that is very convenient. For larger or more complex work , the good old textronix is still the one tool i go back to .I do mostly Audio/Visual and RF work. That's why i got two generators , one rf the other is audio. Good tools do good work. Never hesitate to put the money on a good tool , that applies to good testing equipment. The well constructed and calibrated instruments rule our benches.Calibrate often and keep em in good shape. Replace the leads often as they dry and crack and may become a danger after a number of years. Follow the first rule : use caution whenever you play in electronic/electric equipment . Safety First !
