    Got a strange question here.

    technicly it would work with a fine coating... however wd40 as it breaks down actually gets sticky/tacky, so if you did it now itd be sticky by the time snow comes. a super soaker with hot water works best if its roof mounted.

    Terminated from DISH

    While I feel bad when he signed that it made him an AT Will employee which can be fired at any time for anything... unfortunately that overrides state laws and goes strait to federal... For instance here in Kentucky all employment is AT Will.

    Interesting News Story -

    i pretty much completely agree.... and like you i dont get the rental-walmart reference.... if you want to walk into blockbuster and pay 2-5 dollars to get a movie you arent going to want to walk into walmart and pay another 19.99 to buy the movie.... probably one or the other.

    Help

    while that is true there are only 2 real ways to do it.. require the receiver to call in to activate (You cant forge caller id on some systems) Use 2 way satellite signals and a rotating random encryption code.
