Superfarkingdumbalicious!

Anyhow, what better word is there to describe the current state of affairs with the current U.S. government? Complete and utter ineptitude? Oh wait, that's not one word though.

From what I'm seeing, the country is about to cede it's soverignty to foriegn interests just to pacify some "politically correct" muckrakers. WTF?!? Have the branches in charge of the republic fully failed to realize that their current jurisprudence will lead to failure of the nation? If not it's time to give all of them THE BOOT. Afterall, it's our constitutional right isn't it?

What's the point of kicking Saddam when he's down, when it's Vincente and his buddies next door that keep poking Uncle Sam in the arse? Really, it's a waste of resources.

If there's ever a call to revolution which reflects the letter of the constitution... Hmmm... Just might be interested, afterall there's a lot of "legal" things going on that are actually contrary and afoul of the guidelines for written law. I know I could do without these special interests.

Troops should provide cameras to help Iraqi relations

Reading the latest news on the mess U.S.A. has created in Iraq, it seems that to help clarify the situation and take proper action - our troops should provide video cameras to communities with complaint issues regarding Iraqi security forces. These cameras should have marked tamper seals so that the tapes can't be switched out or modified. They could be checked regularly, or upon request by the community provided with the camera. The cameras can be regular off-the-shelf models with night recording capability, something that's easily replaced if lost or damaged.

Now why is this? Well it seems that the Iraqi police forces are more screwed up than ever, and possibly Iraqi troops. Providing communities with a means to provide evidence in backing up complaints against abuses will aid in U.S. troops prosecution of criminal activities. It's either this or have the communities take up arms in self defence, which will only exacerbate the conflict and give corrupt Iraqi police an excuse as they go about illegal activities.

Tesla Tech Spread Spectrum Array

Just an idea for making a simple fixed spread spectrum array that could communicate over distance. I consider it Tesla-tech since it would only require an early 1900's level of technology, yet produce a fairly workable signal.

The broadcasting array would be a set of high power tuned spark-gap transmitters.

The transmitter: A typical spark gap generates a noisy signal with a fairly wide spread wasting energy. A tuned gap system would use a crystal to focus the signal to a narrower area of spectrum increasing it's strength. It would still sound like noise on that particular frequency it's tuned to, but it would be of a much stronger than relative background noise. It doesn't have to carry information, since this crude signal is the information. If you hear it above the background you know it's on, if you don't it's off. More or less it's a crude and simple binary carrier. This signal is simply used to activate a corresponding switch or telegraph arm on the recieving end.

The array: The first set is some arbitrary frequency, let's say 1000MHz. The next set is 2000MHz, then the one after that 4000MHz, etc. Each set is a simple doubling of frequency, or perhaps a base frequency with the addition of a placeholder (perhaps something like 1100MHz, 1200MHz, 1400MHz, 1800...) Each transmitter in the array can be considered a simple binary placeholder in it's corresponding grouping. Simply put the lowest one in the set would be the transmitter for the value 1, the next transmitter would be for the value 2, the one after that 4, and so on depending on how many bits you plan on using. Transmitters would have to be tuned and spaced such that signal doesn't bleed over too much to others in the array. This method is basically a parallel binary broadcast.

Operation: Using the most crude and basic technology for operation, a simple paper punch card can fire the transmitters in the array. It's not really much different than something that may have been used to send pre-recorded Moorse code messages. But instead of a dot dash sequence, parallel dots corresponding to each frequency in the array represent numbers, and those numbers represent data sent.

This spread spectrum device could theoretically operate on a "simple" electromechanical computer to operate a teletype machine. Why hasn't this been done? Or has it? (WWII enigma type technology?) The simplicity of the signal generation- you're producing simple pulses rather than a complex carrier and the ability to use encoding should theoretically make this device a somewhat reliable transmission method.

If ET wanted to talk on a budget, this would seem like a simple and clever way to do it. Perhaps updating to more modern computing equivalents (or maybe they may only have 1930's tech.) The idea isn't that complicated if the variables are narrowed down. The trick is figuring out what they are and finding recognizable mathematical sequences that would be used in encoding a "Hello out there!" type signal.
