East India Company

An English company formed in 1600 to develop trade with the new British colonies in India and southeastern Asia; in the 18th century it assumed administrative control of Bengal and held it until the British army took over in 1858 after the Indian Mutiny

I have no idea why I am putting this definition in here, after all, its an urbandictionary, and this is history.

transmitter testing

When I'm bored, I go "transmitter testing". This generally refers to me picking a random VHF frequnecy and transmitting music over it. Because I have a Vertex VX-150 as well as a 35-watt VHF amplifier attached to it the range is about 20 or miles, depending on if I am transmitting at full power or fractional power levels. I like to chose frequencies that are not being used, generally its a business radio service frequency or Marine VHF channel. I have however, transmitted over weatheradio (162.400 to 162.550 MHz) channels are that really pisses people off.

This is all, of course, illegal.

Guy who lives next to me: "How come all I hear on my weatheradio is Jimi Hendrix and Men At Work?"

Me: "I'm just transmitter testing"

Error Reporting

One of the most annoying 'features of Windows XP. However, it does produce the orgasmic feeling of telling Microsoft that there has been yet another problem with thier "operating" system

Windows Error Reporting has encountered an error, would you like you send an error report?

20,000 leagues under the sea

I do believe it is 20,000 fathoms under the sea.

Jules Verne may have perdicted nuclear technology, but he knew nothing about nuatical measurement.

Clear Channel

Radio used to be good until Clear Channel came along. Now it sucks, like "rock" stations that play nothing but Linkin Park, Disturbed and Korn, and about 20 Top 40 stations for every single city in the USA

Your listening to Clear Channel Radio, now for another song by some shitty rap song or yet another Linkin Park song.

motorola

Motorola makes good stuff
but it is overpriced and they have no memory channels.

My 7-year old HTX-202 (which cost me $150) has more memory then your $800 JT-1000
