I am a machinist by trade. I have to know these functions in order to do machine setups, calculate points on a tangent radius, etc.

Interesting. Our K-Mart only had the K-Mart snack bar. I remember eating hot dogs there as a kid.

The only ones I have ever been in were just a counter and a clearly visible kitchen behind it with no walls separating them.

I use these functions literally everyday.

Indeed, but everything you need is there. And I'll throw one in for free and it is awesome to get started: http://websdr.org/

I almost hate to recommend it, but r/rtlsdr is the place to go.

RTL-SDR is basically a way of using a digital device as a broadband radio. That is an oversimplification, but that is the idea. There are cheap USB devices out there that will turn a PC into a ham radio receiver (among a really wide range of other bands like weather satellites). I have no idea how they are doing it with Android, however. Maybe using the phone's antenna.

First thing I did when I moved out was eat an entire roll of cookie dough.

Things like this are why I am mostly glad to still be using xbmc on my original hacked Xbox. Not much space and I have to deal with FTP, but it still works a treat.

Evil Socrates refused to get in the phone booth.

I'm not defending this, but this is an extremely common practice in the US.
