Why All The "FRACKEM" in Battlestar Galactica?

Answer: The F-Bomb Now Costs $325,000 To Say On The Airwaves. The Federal Communications Commission just increased the price for saying the f-word. The President signed a bill September 2005 increasing by tenfold the maximum fine for indecency on TV or radio to $325,000 in the U.S.A. What's happening to free speech?

Does that mean I could say, "Monetized on-demand dynamic complex processes" in the right context and have it censored. Please, just don't let my phrase catch on or they will fine that word too.

What's the difference between Starbuck saying "Frackem" and 'Fuck them", if it's used in the same context?

Wireless Laptop Antenna Made from a Pen.

Searching for a way to maximize my wireless signal from my laptop i stumbled across this crazy contraption. Pretty cool omni-directional antenna. A wireless antenna made from a standard ball point pen's casing.

Warning:
"He does not make the antenna from a ballpoint pen. He merely states the it could be "it could be housed inside the tube of an old pen"....

The pen is only the housing and does not contribute to the antenna." thanks pancho
