Well, they join WCPE.org, my personal favorite webcasting radio station. They've been using ogg for years.

Oh, and on a related note, one of the reasons I have become an anarchist:

"On March 2, 2007 the Copyright Royalty Board in Washington made a ruling which will force many smaller public radio stations to consider shutting off their webcasting streams, and which will definitely put WCPE into a very difficult, if not impossible, situation. What's worse, the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) has denied public broadcasting's petition for a rehearing on its decision."

Hey, that's Wake Forest...where in the world are you, Bob? I'm very close to Wake Forest, the school, which was originally located in Wake Forest, NC.
Rocky Mount. A rail crossing about 45 miles due east of Raleigh.
I know where it is. I am in Greensboro, although I spend most of my offtime in Archdale (near High Point) with my bride-to-be, where I will move once we are married.
I am 15 miles due east of Wake Forest just north of highway 98. Howdy neighbor!
Married!! Quick, someone must warn the impending bride!!
Looks like NC is Linux country.
dcparris, former EIC of LXer is a Charlotonian... err Charlatan... oh good grief! He's from Charlotte.
I was living in Greenville when I finished my first successful Linux installation.
My sister used to live in J-ville when she was married to a Marine. Love the area, miss the azalea festival.
Quoting:Looks like NC is Linux country.


Well, it's home to the so-called "research triangle" - one would imagine some of the locals at least have learned something good over the years.
RedHat.

Oh, and Ron Paul did his medical training at Duke in Durham.

I like Ron Paul, he was my personal fave for president.
