You should look at Linux or Mac so you can regain the use of your
computer. You should own your computer and not vis-versa!

Nahhh, let 'em all feel superior due to their "installed user base".
While the whole time they spend more and more of their efforts and
energy fighting off their inferior OS's security holes, we that use the
"non-standard" systems can simply do our work and play.

Well, maybe we can learn something here.

What do you see that's "strange" about the URL above ?

Looks like a subdomain of http://www.fcc.gov to me.....

Let's not start this again, let's argue about something important,
like Morse code. Ain't enuff of you Apple Suckers and Penguin Pluckers
to be worth arguing with.

We need a new O/S, just for ham radio. We could call it Macnix. The
logo could be a roasted penguin with an apple in his mouth. And there
wouldn't be any application software so nobody would ask questions
about how to use it.....

You are absolutely correct, but that wasn't the "strange URL" I meant. The
post
that started this thread is as follows (from June 12):

quote
The information about filing a FCC BPL comment on the ARRL web page was
outdated. There is a new case number that should be used. 04-37 is the
correct case number.

It only takes 5 minutes to file a comment with the FCC against BPL.

http://vambo.org/a/
end quote

Somebody else questioned it first, wondering why the FCC URL wasn't just
posted;
then somebody brought up paranoia. I seconded the paranoia and I stand by
it, at
least in principle.

vambo.org, searched on google, gave me no obvious ham radio links but a
little digging
identifies a Colorado ham associated with the site. (By "digging", I mean
google &
qrz.com; no hacker weapons here -- I'd probably shoot my eye out :-)
