DirecTV has an interesting concept ... (Oct 26 2003 19:57 GMT) - DirecTV has an interesting concept of the justice system. If you buy a product that might be used for illegal purposes, then you are automatically guilty, whether you use it all, or even if you have a legitimate use of the product. If you have an legitimate use, you must prove your innocence to DirecTV, at your own expense. Electronics hobbyists in particular are in the target zone their broad shotgun approach to justice. This type of corporate bullying is enough reason to boycott DirecTV. |

Southern California wildfires On the ... (Oct 26 2003 19:54 GMT) - Southern California wildfires On the bus ride back from the San Francisco demo last night, we passed dozens of fire engines, also headed South on I-5, and realized the fires must have gotten very bad indeed. When fire companies come from hundreds of miles away to assist in a California fire, then you have one of those hellish firestorms that takes days, if not weeks, to put out.
