I've seen three arguments in favour of AM: 1. Range 2. Bouncing off of ionosphere 3. Easy to DIY a radio. I would guess the first two have nothing to do with the type of modulation, but with the frequency bands being used and/or t

Eternal Darkness for the gamecube had a sanity meter. A bit reduced sanity and you'd literally start seeing things. Even lower and things got weirder... including faking a gamecube reset, faking lowering the volume on your tv (with fak

A quick google suggests that the price of a lesson is $160-$240 an hour, including instructor's fee. Private pilot 's licence (according to the same infobox) goes for $9k-$15k. It's not cheap, but it's not unfathomably

Hear, hear. I saw those two things and was wondering if they really meant to add additional terms after saying something is public domain... not a lawyer, still: I don't think that makes (legal) sense.
