Maybe not, but the criminal law treats it as armed robbery, even if the gun is a fake. This actually happened to me. I was robbed by a group of thieves armed with a gun designed to only fire blanks. They ended up facing the same charges as if they had used a real gun.
It isn't a DDOS or the imminent death of the Internet.
If your web site can't deal with the minor increase in traffic, I suggest you unplug the server and return it to Frito-Lay in the original Cracker Jack box that it was shipped in.
Apple was doing this sort of pricing back in the days of the Apple ][, about 30 years ago. Back then it was floppy drives and 16K DRAM chips. Once Apple put a price on something, they rarely changed it, even if their parts cost declined dramatically. If you didn't like it, tough, buy a trash-80.
They used to sell a small pulse-jet engine (DynaJet) for model airplanes back in the 1960s. The problem was that they were extremely noisy and ran at very high temperatures.
I couldn't help thinking of those people who wondered if a human being could survive the stress of high-speed train travel when the first steam locomotives were introduced.
GPS already uses direct-sequence spread spectrum. The military-only signal uses a cryptographically secure spreading code. Even that will not protect you from a wideband jammer with enough power. Any signal can be jammed with a sufficiently large/near transmitter. The military usually solves that problem with high explosives.
Like many of the people who use wireless microphones, they were using "unused" TV channels to relay information. That works fine until someone is allocated that channel.
The local police and fire departments operate their radios on an unused UHF TV channel. The difference is that the FCC gave them permission to use those frequencies.
That "asshole" is perfectly correct. Whether you like it or not, that is settled law, and has been for centuries. Don't like it? Write your congressman.
Frequency hopping does not eliminate the carrier wave, it just moves it around on a set schedule. Imagine you and a friend both had an FM radio with a digital tuner, and a computer that produced pseudo-random numbers between 88E6 and 108E6. You could use the computer to program the radio with a new frequency every second. As long as you kept the two computers synchronized with each other, both radios would shift to a new frequency every second. You are still using conventional FM to communicate. The only difference is that the carrier frequency is changing every second. This makes it hard for other people to jam or intercept your communications if they don't know the algorithm used in the pseudo-random number generator.
Look it up in the NORAD catalog? There are plenty of satellites that the USA will admit to having launched, they just wont discuss their name or mission.
Well, they do distract the driver. Passengers, in particular, can be very distracting if they insist on having a meaningful conversation. I prefer that they just shut up and enjoy the scenery.
I'm paying attention to the road and the traffic. What are you doing?
So you would be happy if they replaced "Israel" with "The Zionist Entity"? Whether or not you think it matters, it's important to many people. Maps are political statements, as are lists of countries and their names. Pretending that Israel does not exist is a common practice in the Middle-East.
You can be replaced with a 100-Watt light bulb. A friend worked in a standards laboratory where everyone was assigned their own light bulb. You turned it on when you left and turned it off when you arrived. It helped keep the lab at a constant temperature.
Any application that would rely on that as an indication of geographic location is truly brain dead. It's not as if we still have to ask the lord's permission to leave the manor.
We may have helped him in his war with Iran, but we didn't put him there. That was due to internal Iraqi politics and his talent for eliminating anyone who got in his way.

People have been doing it for over 40 years, so it doesn't make you look clever or trendy, just stupid.

2. Give us 25% of line 1.

It's much simpler and cheaper to cover the antenna with a piece of aluminum foil.

I can crash many PCs just by transmitting near them on my 5 Watt VHF hand-held transceiver. That wouldn't happen if they were properly designed.

Our lawyers are meaner, and they have guns.

The only legal restrictions on cryptography are the ITAR. Use whatever you like, just don't try to export it without a license.

See the section labeled "design physics" at Light Gas Gun.
Even high-explosives won't do the job. The muzzle velocity is limited to the speed of sound in the hot gases behind the projectile.
Stuff in low orbit doesn't last long due to the effects of atmospheric drag. It's the stuff in higher orbits that is the real problem.
