  1. Yep. Chances are there's an amateur radio society in your town/city/village. If you're interested, I'd look in to it as they probably host courses, or at the least are willing to help someone get started in their favorite hobby. It's just an exam for a license, and you get to operate on all/some HF channels depending on country/license class.
  2. I'm starting a ham radio course tomorrow. Afternoons on Tuesdays for a few weeks. Then a test for a license! I will enter a man, and leave a 60something dude from Minnesota. I'm looking at the prep material, and these are some codes that are "commonly used." QRS – Send more slowly QRL – Is the frequency in use QRM – Interference QRN – Static QRX – I will call again QRZ – Who is calling QSB – Signal Fading QSL – That is correct – OK – Yes QSY – Change Frequency QTH – My location is It'd be nice if the acronym even remotely correlated with what their meaning is.

    can they outsource Bethesda's QA to libraryofbabel.info? Surely there's a perfect game code in there somewhere. Yes, I have been a heavy mod user since Oblivion.

    Yes. I'm saying it would make sense for them to at least have encryption on them. The way it is now, there's no benefit to even buying them.

    Sending the archives to everybody doesn't just happen. I don't think this was a security flaw. Either Bethesda Softworks is really this fucking incompetent, or somebody on the inside wants to see it burn. Or somebody did actually forget to put any encryption on them, in which case L-O-L

    how do we know this website isn't just concatenating what we enter into random strings of text? ELI5 pls EDIT: I just re-read the original post. Medic mentions it. EDIT EDIT: There's some debate on the website's forum, but supporters say the text is generated in some part with your search, but the text itself is decided by an algorithm that uses variables that also appear as the page, book number, shelf, "hexagon", etc. So putting those same variables in to the algorithm would generate the same page. So that random generation would then be easily "searchable" with those same variables, and somebody flipping through the pages one by one would find the same content at the same location as someone who searches. if true, neat.

    Is Planetside 2 still alive?
  15. I wonder if "you should use 'www' for your web address" is controversial enough to go to the war room.

  22. nonono, you need to eat it off the shark. Dive in to the damn ocean, find one, and tear the meat chunks off of it with your teeth. It's the only way to properly eat shark.
