Comment Yes, for amateur radio (Score 1) 283

I utilize my headphone and microphone jacks for AX.25 operations with a generic tnc modem or Slow Scan TV. Most of the equipment has not made the jump to USB based sound card for VHF and UHF amateur packet radio operations. Only the most expensive radios for V/U contain a USB digital audio interface. While most people would say "that's not important", these are the types of communication methods used in disaster or emergency situations to get information passed where the internet or pstn is otherwise unavailable.

Comment Unicomp Keyboards Use Type-M Switches (Score 3, Informative) 298

Good news! The Unicomp Keyboard uses the type-m switches. They bought the mfg rights to the type-m keyboard and they're proudly made right here in the United States of America! I am typing on my Unicomp Type-M keyboard right now and I love it.

Comment Turn off auto-mount and format your new drive... (Score 0) 128

I don't understand why people have such problems. I always practice the following when introducing new media on my computer system:
1. Disable auto-mount
2. Delete all partitions on the drive, commit changes
3. Create new partitions, commit changes
4. Newfs the partition / format drive

Comment I used to get channels before... (Score 0) 431

I live in Homestead, Florida. But our TV station transmitters for the area are 35 miles away. I would normally get some type of analogue tv before but now order my local stations from satellite tv. Broadcast TV in our area is a lost cause unless you live in North Miami-Dade County. According to AntennaWeb, I need a Large-Size Directional antenna. At this point a satellite dish looks more attractive rather than waiting for a bulky TV antenna to move in the direction required for reception.
