General Dynamics. I used to be able to tell about a month ahead of time when a U.S. air strike was going to be in the news because an order for missile parts would come in from them. It was always creepy.

Indeed, but everything you need is there. And I'll throw one in for free and it is awesome to get started: http://websdr.org/

RTL-SDR is basically a way of using a digital device as a broadband radio. That is an oversimplification, but that is the idea. There are cheap USB devices out there that will turn a PC into a ham radio receiver (among a really wide range of other bands like weather satellites). I have no idea how they are doing it with Android, however. Maybe using the phone's antenna.

A conveyor would make the most sense.

Things like this are why I am mostly glad to still be using xbmc on my original hacked Xbox. Not much space and I have to deal with FTP, but it still works a treat.

This implies people getting disappointed in their common baby.

He has been in the blogosohere for a long time, and wears a cape in xkcd lore.

His time as the mascot was so weird.
