Fantastic word game

At a time when we have so few contributors, we need to put our best foot forward and give 110% so that we can continue on a straight and narrow path toward our lofty goal.


I'm off to work today to make up for the snow day earlier in the week. I expect 4-5 pages out of you people today. ;D
 
In my lifetime a full conversion of the broadcast bands to all-IBAC is tentative at best, unless our corporately-owned government presses a killoff of all-analogue VHF FM stations like they did full-power NTSC, which, knowing the government, they very well might.

[size=8pt]The key is all-VHF. The Ibiquity system is a nightmare with mediumwave. Even the Federal Communications Commission Co. Inc. must realise that!

And I expect Savage to jump in here at some point and give us one of his legendary anti-Ibiquity diatribes. Come on, you know you want to, just follow the rules of FWG procedure when you do.......
 
They very well might,the FCC, eliminate the low VHF (TV 2-6) from broadcast TV and use it to expand FM radio.

One being considered is to use channels 5 (76-82 Mhz) and 6 (82-88 Mhz) to expand FM radio, with all of the crowding and short spaced stations, it is needed. and like Darth said it can eventully become digital only.
 
To expand FM radio is not a function of the Fun Department at FWG, so we offer to any who are not about legitimate fun a going away present, so long as they first do their part.
 
The FWG Christmas card list seems to have disappeared from the vast, encyclopedic databases of the University PDP10 (all right zaphod, what did you do?) so if anyone happens to have a copy, you can UUCP it to me.

[size=8pt]I'm "mnbvcx[1,2]" on system "FWGDXCCL", just so you know.

@kenrayc--I had heard about that. I really doubt it'll actually happen, tho. Sounds much too realistic and practical for the FCC to stomach! In all likelihood, they'll probably just reallocate those spectra for cell phones and computer networks, just like everything else these days.
 
My TPS, 1040EZ and W-2 reports, if this is like any other year, will be filled in and sent to the IRS the night after I receive them.

Well, the latter two. Never heard of a TPS form. Should be any day now, tho; doesn't pay to procrastinate!

My brain pharted above, you should actually UUCP the list using the following bang path: power-world-03!fwguncvxcc!fwgdxccl!dxlpdpx!darthv.

Where
power-world-03 = DEC VAX #3 at Powerworld
!fwguncvxcc = FWG University media centre (Bruce knows what the initials "cvxcc" stand for, ask him)
!fwgdxccl = FWG University DXers Club Computer Lab
!dxlpdpx = DXers Club Computer Lab PDP-10 ("x" being the Roman numeral for "10")
!darthv = You know who that is
 
The night after I receive them, I'll fill them out, review them, and send them on their merry way.


Darth, are you new??? All TFWG'ers and PowerWorld employees are required to fill out weekly TPS Reports and send them to quad. It's how you get paid. Quad, please review Darth's personnel file.
 
Send them on their merry way as fast as you find them, or leprechauns will just become a nuisance.

Don't let Darth fool ya. He must be trying to impress an emo girl with his aloofness/rebellion. His TPS Reports are always in on time, in triplicate, as required. Well, except that one time he was out of town at that Rich Guy's SuperBody MuscleBuilding Mensa competition. Unless it's really an emo girl he's after, then I think he blamed his tardiness on apathy and an innate sense of knowing dread.

That's EXACTLY what I thought, quad. :D

Leprechauns will just become a nuisance after St. Patrick's Day so we'll store them in the warehouse with the Easter bunnies, fireworks, and elves.
 
The Easter bunnies, fireworks, and elves will go to storage, but the garden pixies will be back in the garden before long, as we pick and choose what we want to dump and what we want to claim as our own.
 
Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here to create the best thread on the internet with the help of some great contributors.
 
Changing the world requires more patience than the average Superman has.

[size=8pt]@quad, WMC2006--
I've never filed a TPS report. Never ever! You guys must have somebody else's mis-filed in mine. Never had to file one because I'm an unpaid volunteer.

(Emo girls=yeccchttt. No thanks, I'm not *that* desperate. I can only stomach so much depression and bad poetry before I completely lose my lunch. You guys can keep 'em.)
