I'm sure that you meant to spread the blame around to everyone who deserves it, right?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/And she nowhere claims to have invented the technical part.

Your Blapunkt or whatever in your ride would be "powered by radio waves" if it had no amplifiers. But then you couldn't blast that crap you think is music across the 'hood.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/
I also want to add that the politically-biased jabs, which are occurring here more frequently, are becoming tiresome at best.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/
Thought I would slip that one in, before the feeding frenzy started, thanks!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/The mayor of New Orleans screwed up just as much as anyone else. He waited until the last second to evacuate the city, and he only did that after Bush called him up and told him to. Don't just blame the federal government when the state and local levels deserve just as much heat, if not more.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/
Wait, what's that?

They screwed up things, and WORSE???!?!?!!

And the people this is meant to help all ignored a MANDATORY EVACUATION?

Well, I guess that means no radios for anyone. If you need me, I'll be in my cave, protecting my cache of food and water for the upcoming apocalypse.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/
Good to see I'm part of an intelligent group of peeps.

YOU GUYS REALLY SHOULD REMOVE THIS RETARDED ENTRY]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/
the plan for this was about as good as teh escape plan on the Titanic.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/
"I did not invent this technology - the first radios were run like this. However, I believe that there is a need for it again, especially because it is so cheap and easy. Also the fact that AM antennas have become much smaller make this technology attractive again."]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/
Ahem, not true... A radio can't "draw" more signal from the source just because it's not powered.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/mareike-gasts-refugee-radio/
Well, FEMA is a federal agency that was gutted in the past few years, and Bush is the boss man of that, so I guess yes.

If only I had some lemon juice I could power-up my citric acid powered amplifier.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:25AM
