Right on the heels of the Blu-ray release in 2011?!?

I tried a port of CM6 release candidate on my HTC Kaiser (AT&T Tilt). It was slow, but to be fair the Kaiser was designed for WinMo 6.1, something like three years ago. I got the impression that CM6 is a thing of beauty on an adequate phone. The OpenVPN support was great, if you use that. I am using a more stock Froyo right now, a better fit for this old phone. I won't quote w0mprat, but I agree with the sentiment.

I wonder if that's an old C Band free-to-air satellite TV dish? It sounds like it's on the large side, but it might work. Search "free to air" and you'll find the required LNB (low noise block converter) and receiver. Couple that with a small Ku-Band dish (one meter or less) and you'll have all the free-to-air your dishes can see. Check out www.lyngsat.com for lists of satellites, frequencies, and TV stations available. Big dishes give you more gain (stronger signal, was important back in the analog days, and still helps for C-Band), but bigger dishes have much smaller look angles (like a telescope versus binoculars) and are harder to aim.

I just have a one meter Ku Band dish. I recommend even smaller, to be easier to aim, unless you live really far from the equator. When I lived in northern New York the extra gain of a one meter dish helped a lot. We mostly point to the bird at 97 degrees west, and pick up about a hundred free channels. Many different languages, some good music and sometimes movies. But the only English-language channels are news and religion. If you are Chinese or Iranian, there is an excellent variety to choose from. Other satellites have more Spanish language, from what I've seen on lyngsat.

The receiver is the most expensive part, and it can be had for $100 or $200. If you want one that accepts smart cards, to descramble the pay channels, it might cost a bit more.

I added some of the detail above not for the original poster but for anyone else who might be interested.

Write a test framework that lets you expand the scope of automated testing.

I've always said that it depends on whether you place your faith in evolution or creation.
Creation: of course God created the chicken before it ever laid an egg.
Evolution: of course some pre-chicken laid the first chicken egg, which hatched into the first chicken.
A silly argument, really, with a simple answer.
Now, I didn't say that everyone agrees on the same answer, but only that the answer clearly and logically follows from your faith.

I remember a news article that circulated around the communications company where I worked, on some April 1st, saying that Shannon's Law had been repealed, and the company was ready to release a new product offering high speed Internet access over HF on a 2.8 kHz channel. So, I'd vote for Shannon's Law to be repealed.

More:
* Always prototype new projects
* Always throw away the prototype

I use several rules to guide when to rewrite.
They aren't hard rules: some of them contradict.

* If it works, don't fix it. Only rewrite if the cost of rewriting is exceeded by the benefit.
* Learn from history. Never rewrite without understanding the old version.
* If at first you don't succeed, try try again. If I wrote it, I can rewrite it because now I know how to do it better.
* Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. When I rewrite it, I try to reuse the good parts.

Companies look for go-to people: those who can be trusted to do the important work.
Be punctual, focused, energetic.
And, you may have done well in school, but remember that you are a rank novice compared to your co-workers. Be ready, willing, and eager to learn all that you can. Be a sponge. Find a mentor. Learn the "company way" to do things: coding styles, etc.

I got super-floppy, too.
Funny, I had forgotten about that.
And, yes, back in the day I had a sizeable Betamax library.
And yes, also a huge 8-track collection, complete with a Dolby 8-track recorder.
Not to mention a large investment in CP/M-86 computers.

Admit it, you had these too, no?

That's funny, because 3.5" were hard, and 8" were floppy.

I have flown three different ways.

First, when I was a child, I flew by jumping. When I was at the highest point, I'd jump again. I flew by continuously jumping. Later, that turned into a kind of running in the air.

Second, as a teenager, I flew with a SkySurfer board. It was shaped like a boogie board but the edges were more tapered. It could catch the air currents and carry me upward. It was hard to master, but of course I was a pro at it.

Finally, I started flying more like Superman. I can fly really fast, but I don't usually go supersonic unless I'm going far, since that hurts my ears.

Now that you have isolated a few categories of interesting packets, you should study samples of those interesting packets in more detail. Many have speculated about what the "stripes" mean, but you can find out more by investigating one stripe.
