I think that's a tricky legal problem. A dangerous driving fine covers a broad range of possible cases, but if no accident happens due a reckless driving the fine could me voided if a good lawyer says that the reckless driving was actually not reckless.
Don't use a cellphone while driving is more to the point and it's clear that's not allowed. Driving barefoot maybe is reckess driving maybe not.
I still have a TV set made in 1985, and it works flawlessly, connected to a dvb-s and dvb-t receiver. It's big, with woodgrain and has a funky 20 W audio amplifier. It's the right TV set to watch reruns of the A Team, George & Mildred and Derrick.
Why I have to buy a more complex TV set that tries to mimic a computer, with buggy software, complex menus and so on, but with puny little speakers ripped from a speakerphone?
In Italy there is the new SIS system that controls the bus routes and scheduling.
http://www.tramditorino.it/sis_apparati_nuovi.htm
The newer version uses a GPS, and a GPRS modem to report the bus position and problems and of course to permit the driver to make and receive emergency or service phone calls. A cell phone jammer will make the bus invisible to the system, so if the bus is going late the driver doesn't see the "hurry up" icon or if it's early the "slow down" icon does not appear. If the bus breaks the engines no replacement bus will arrive.
If you're on some high speed train that are using ects level2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETCS a disruption of the GSM-R signal will make the train slow down to 60 km/h, and disrupting the rail service is a criminal offense.
before the euro the italian lira had a low nominal value . 1 euro= 1936.27 lire, 1 US£ = about 1400 lire. The smallest mint coin was the 50 lire one and all purchases were rounded to the nearest 50 lire, but older coins, down under 1 lira were still legal tender and minted until the Euro switchover, but they were almost made for collector sets, but sometimes they were still found in the wild, especially in LPG and CNG pumps or cheese sellers in open air markets.
Actually coppers were using analog scrambling systems since the '70s, and in some European countries being caught listening to coppers, airplanes or even private taxi drivers isn't allowed.
An outage of the links to the dispatcher turns signals red and stops trains. Such outages happen occasionally, and they're a huge headache, but not a safety issue. As a backup, trains can be given train orders by voice radio, but they're limited by slow-speed operation in that mode.
Failing voice radio, there are also the emergency wired phones near the signals, one of the engineers call the next station for orders. when the train arrives in station the station manager phones the next station to ask if the line is clear.
There is also Dial Face a telephone maker in Milan, started in 1909 as Western Electric Italiana.
Actually Face is an acronym for "Fabbrica Apparecchiature Comunicazioni Elettriche" (Electrical Coomunication Appliances Factory)...
One of the key factor of the disappareance of CRT was the switch to digital terrestrial TV. Older CRT designs with analog tuners can't be sold anymore. These designs were kept because all the R&D were totally paid for. Before the digital switch over you could still buy portable black and white TV sets in big malls.
HD TV is shoved to the buyer because SD LCD or plasma set aren't sold anymore, and I think this is because the scale economies to make low end small panels identical for computer and TV uses. Older plasma and LCD SD sets were also equipped with analog tuners so they were phased out on DTV adoption, and newer designs were made with HD ready (aka PC grade) screens. It's normal to see those HD ready sets with an SD only DTV decoder, actually using them as SD panels.
Of course my 1983 26 inch Loewe Opta and my 1995 35 inch Sony Trinitron still beats the crap out from cheap LCD HD ready panels....
> The 'just half' part of the idea comes from technical reasons, i believe.
I think als that is because their concerts larst a lot more than 74 minutes, so is hard to fit them in asingle CD. Add to this the time do burn the CD for 200 peeople ant the math is done...
The think that worders me is why Japanese DVD normally haven't subtitles, even in Japanese itself. I think adding an English subtitles track doesn't cost very much, and permits english readers to BUY the original DVD instead of forcefully use fansubs. This maybe will impact the sublicensing on other countries, but the sublicensed version could have dubbed audio or different extras, and has to be of good quality.
I don't think so, especially if the homemade food is better than the one available in the cafeteria. Of coure if the homemade food is spinach and meshed potatoes everyday maybe the food will be thrown away. But if the kid hasn't the money to buy junk food, the kid will not eat...
Yes, you can buy a thing like this: http://www.yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=Displa yProduc ts&ProdCatID=102&encProdID=4muXjWdMWmk%3D&Division ID=65&isArchived=0 then another thing like this: http://www.f9ft.com/preyagi.php3?lang=fr&re ference =20919 then compile the right ax.25 modules on Linux, or download http://dl0td.afthd.tu-darmstadt.de/~ flexnet/index. html for ms-dos or windows. And you can transmit easily at 9600 bps for over 100 miles. Done that since 1994.
Depends on local spectum regulations. Amateur radio operators have to pay a yearly license fee in most european countries, but they are not protected from interference from others amateur radio stations, beacuse the amateur radio license is a shared spectrum one. Anyway amateur radio is protected from interference from other services or illegal transmission.
The problem is twofold. First of all on HF spectrum there are not only amateur radio operators: ships, aircrafts, military, private services, broadcasting stations and so on. If there is an harmful interference to an amateur radio station it could be as well exist an harmful interference to an international airport or a coast guard station. And they can't hear an airplane or a boat distress call.
Using wires made for 50/60 power to transmit data at high speed is a bad idea because the infrastructure was made to transmit power: the impedance is low and variable, cables aren't paired or shielded, and there is a lot of noise.
Power utilities have a right of way, so to have another competitor they have only to pull optical fibers along with power lines and put a WiFi/UMTS base station on the poles (or a 10BaseFL/100BaseFX/1000BaseSX switch and pull fiber to the homes). Better badwidth for users, no interferences to and from other services and appliances, and a working technology.
I prefer simple, old style line tones. Especially when nobody responds, I really prefer to get a ``free'' signal and not pay long-distance rates. When all operators are busy, I prefer an old busy signal... so I could use the redial-callback service. When ny call is trasferred, I would like to hear the two-tone call-transfer signal....
If you are a license amateur radio operator, you can use legally 802.11 in 13 cm ham radio band, with directional antennas. You can also build linear amplifier up to yor licensed maximum power.
Of course you are limited to amateur radio regulations about allowed traffic, and to maximum EM field allowed.
mailfilter
is a nice antispam tool useful for all of us who
can connect only up to 31200 bps with a v.90.
Before downloading mail it checks the headers against a certain number of regular expression, making a good job to find spam-like messages.
Then deletes them on the pop3 server before downloading the actual body.
I think that recording industries making deliberatly damaged cd will
upset not only consumers, but also AV electronics manufacturers.
In a mall or in an household appliances show, the devices you could
find are DVD players, CD recorders, AV amplifiers (with digital inputs),
and ghetto blasters or similar small CD/Tape/Tuner combo.
Separate power amplifiers, tape decks or tuners are a rarity in these
shops, not to mention turntables. If you will buy one of these, you have
to resort in a specialized hi-fi shop, and even in one of these you
can find more CD writers or DVD players than cassette recorders, and
anyway a decent dual tape deck costs more than a CD/CD-RW combo.
The average consumer, having to buy some appliances, is easy that
will buy a DVD player plus an AV digital amplifier rather than a
standard CD player. And these damaged discs will not play, either because
the DVD player got confused by the wrong TOC or because the DAC into
the AV amplifer doesn't recognise the damaged signal from the Toslink
input.
If the consumer goes into an hi-fi shop to buy a new CD player, is
possible that will have similar problems: newer ones that will read
both CDR and CDRW, can also handle multi session audio CD. I think that
a person that buys, say, a 900 euro Marantz CD 6000 KIS, or a 2400 euro
Teac VRDS-25X could become a bit upset if can't listen most of the new
CD has just bought.
Maybe will tell what happened to one of his friends, that will stick
to the older CD player and instead will buy a 1000 Euro Thorens TD 166
and a 600 euro Ortofon MC 20, a decent soundcard, and then will make
mp3 of all new 33 rpms he bought.:-)
During the WWII, BBC was transmitting messages in short waves
directed to the Italian resistance. The message were transmitted
in AM in Italian.
A message like 'Aldo dice 26 per 1' is not understandable
if the eavesdropper does not know what means the 26 and the 1.
(if you want to know the meaning, google is your friend).
Using face to face talkink, phone, normal mail and e-mail
to trasmit secrets message makes difficult to track all of
these pieces, especially if the phone call is made in a strange
vernacular or using some odd slang. 'Dammi il ragioniere e
la coda di topo' translates in 'Give me the accountant
and the mouse's tail' but really means 'Give me the big hammer
and the 3 mm circular file'
