My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

if not for revenue but for noise sake, is PSU admitting they are not good enough to win at home. They need an extra trick to help win. The student section put PSU stadium at the top of fan support. Making Beaver stadium the best place to be on a Saturday in college football… If this is just a play by the university to increase revenue then student ticket prices should be lowered drastically. What if students either didn’t show up in protest or were silent during the game…..hummmmm

This move isn’t about increasing fan noise but about increasing revenue. It so happens that the student section used to be in very nice sideline seats. Demand for these seats far exceeded the price that the school charges the students for tickets. In order to rectify this disparity, the administration decided to move the students to cheaper seats and sell the more valuable seats to alumni at a much higher price. There is a reason why the move was announced months ago and this research was just recently released. This research was done interdependently of the move and is only being used as PR spin by the school.

Of course, while relocating fans to increase noise is perfectly legal and within the rules of NCAA athletics, I would tend to guess that equipping QB’s w/ a throat microphone, and the rest of the players w/ radio receivers just MIGHT be against the rules!!

Jamming of radio signals can be circumvented by employing the technique of “frequency hopping” to rapidly switch the frequency of the transmitted energy, and receiving only that frequency during the receiving time window that is programmed into the receivers. This foils jammers which cannot detect this frequency switch quickly enough and switch their own jamming frequency accordingly during the receiving time window.

Excellent suggestion! Penn State should start looking into mechanisms to jam the signals now

For every measure, there is a countermeasure:

A throat microphone, also laryngophone, is a type of microphone that picks up sound directly through sensors in contact with the neck. Because of this design, it is able to pick up speech in loud environments, such as on a motorcycle or in a night club, where other types of microphones would not function well because the speech would be drowned out by background noise. This type of microphone is also able to pick up whispers and works well in an environment where one has to keep quiet while communicating with others at a distance, such as during a covert military operation. Throat microphones were also extensively used in World War II-era aircraft, and by German tank crews. [Wikipedia.]

So, all the visiting team has to do is to equip their quarterback with a laryngophone and a digital radio transmitter (to avoid jamming), and the rest of team with digital radio receivers and earphones in their helmets -- then they can give the V sign (British version) to the opposing home team! :cool:
