There is a reason for handing out 200+ year sentences. It ensures that the defendant serves a life sentence, even after subtracting time off for good behavior and parole, which can cut the duration of imprisonment by a large amount.
Saying that "the system failed" is imprecise. Was it the hardware, the operating system, the application, or some other software component like a database?
Encryption isn't illegal, except for a few limited cases, like amateur radio. The government is more subtle than that. If you are doing something that needs a FCC license, type acceptance or other government paperwork, your paperwork will be approved much more quickly if you have a "cooperative attitude".
Early versions of C did not have all of the integral types that we are now used to having. I remember using an old C compiler that only had "char", "int", "unsigned" and "long". The only 32-bit type was long, which was signed.
There are interesting things that can be done with very large virtual address spaces, such as mapping large filesystems and databases into memory, and sharing a single virtual address space among large numbers of distributed systems. There are systems that depend on each object having a permanent and unique address.
Many processors use dynamic logic that prevents them from operating reliably below a specified clock rate. Check the spec sheet for your processor before you underclock it.
Maybe because some of us still believe that computers are there to provide useful services to the community, which may be a university, corporation or other large organization.
Many organizations are decentralized, without an IT Gestapo to dole out accounts and enforce the "One True Way".
In many cases, multiple organizations need to collaborate and share information in order to pursue common goals.
In other words, I may wish to share information and resources with other people, even members of the public, without requiring them to have an account on the system.
If I wanted perfect security, I would encase the computer in concrete and dump it in the ocean.
Helicopters are inherently complicated and difficult to fly. Even after 50+ years of mass production, they are still very expensive to buy and operate. They also have a bad habit of crashing when a part fails.
Yes, it's illegal, but with this much RF pollution, would to be possible for the FCC to triangulate your location (say, inside an apartment building), and would they even care (assuming you weren't interferring with anything local).
They can do it. Whether they do it, and how fast they do it, has a lot to do with who filed the complaint and what type of interference you are causing. Fuck with the FAA's communication and navigation systems and you will be very sorry, very quickly. Plus, having flagrantly ignored the FCC rules, don't expect any leniency.
You need a better hearing aid, one with better shielding and filtering. Designs that were adequate 10 oe 20 years ago are marginal today. There are many more RF sources today. Modulation techniques like those used by GSM are more likely to result in interference than the modulation techniques used in older devices.
It's complicated. There are a lot of syndicated shows sitting on warehouse shelves in the form of NTSC videotape. However, most of those shows were originally shot on film. At some point in the production process, the film was transferred to videotape. If the film is still available, it can be rescanned at HD resolution. Depending on the show, additional work may be needed to produce an HDTV master.
It's simpler with movies, where there are already finished 35mm prints ready to be rescanned.
It doesn't scale to typical American ballots, which can include a huge number of races and questions. You have federal, state, county and city offices. Everything from the President to the dog catcher, plus judges, bond issues, constitutional amendments, referenda, school boards, etc.
The new Indianapolis Mayor, Richard Daley Jr., said there is nothing to be concerned about. Indiana Governor Martha Daley called to congratulate him on his victory.
Poor design: The user has to hope that the engineers knew what they were doing. Not buying cheap crap is one way to avoid the problem.
Improper usage: Short cycling the batteries or running them down to the point that a cell reverses polarity.
Smart chargers: There are chargers that can actually recondition nicad batteries. They aren't cheap. To do it properly, you need to be able to isolate the cells.

The fact that they are using Microsoft technology does not mean that they are using Microsoft software.

I'm waiting for VOIP to become ubiquitous. Then there will be no carrier or FCC type acceptance to stand in the way of encryption.
HP's latest hand-held calculators use ARM cores and are powered by AAA batteries.
Many past world chess champions have also been noted for having serious personality and psychological problems.

Everything is flawed. There is no such thing as a perfect voting machine. The question is what is an acceptable level of risk.
It's a perfectly legitimate reason to avoid the ISP's broken mail servers.
Just wait until your ISP starts randomly dropping messages, or leaves them sitting in the queue for hours.

Many of the problems seen with nicads are due to poor design of equipment, improper usage and dumb battery chargers.
Many older shows were shot on 35mm film. They can be converted to HD by rescanning the original print.
A massive cluster of x86 systems is just a bunch of hardware. Where is the software that is going to turn it into a unified fault-tolerant system?
