Power levels fom 802.11b equipment are low enough that this shouldn't be an issue, even with high gain antennas.

How can these people claim recourse against software pirates when they, themselves are pirating other people's ideas, software and concepts?
It's easy. People do it all the time. When I do it, I'm a hard charging competitive businessman. When you do it, you're a dirty thief. Now read this anti-drug pamphlet while I go to the store for a bottle of gin and a pack of cigarettes.
Someone once told me that C/370 used activation records instead of a stack, like PL/I. Come to think of it, there's no reason you have to use the hardware stack pointer on the x86, except for hardware interrupts.
I understand C and can use it reasonably safely. But I have much more experience with it and systems programming than the average programmer.
C is a dangerous tool. Some substantial percentage of programmers are "stupid", ignorant or inexperienced. They are not going to disappear just because you call them names. They are going to write programs and make their share of mistakes. Society is going to have to live with the results.
It's easy to throw 8 processors on a motherboard. The hard part is designing a memory subsystem that can supply the bandwidth for 8 processors and any other bus masters. Plus, you have to provide cache coherency for all of those processors.
Some of us younger folks have less than perfect eyesight. It is very annoying to try to read text on a web site that was designed by some 20-year-old with 20/10 vision and a desire to pack as much text as possible on the page.
Use a safer language, one that has bounds checks and restricts the use of pointers. It wouldn't solve everything but it would eliminate a large class of exploitable bugs.
Years ago, I noticed a listing in the phone book for a Cray field office in Laurel, Maryland. That is very near the NSA at Fort Meade, Maryland. I've heard rumors of acres of Crays in the basement of the big NSA building on Fort Meade. It would be interesting to read some of Cray's old annual reports, to see how they dealt with reporting sales of supercomputers.
The NSA used to tell its employees to say they worked for the Defense Department, if asked who their employer was.
The NSA has a front organization called the "Maryland Procurement Office" that they use when they buy stuff or request bids on contracts.
HP used to have some great technical writers, back when they were primarily a test and measurement company. Look at some of the manuals for their early lines of scientific calculators.
Today, thanks to "modern" management and cost-cutting masquerading as environmentalism, most product documentation has been reduced to a few poorly written help and PDF files. When I spend $500 on a software package, I expect more than a pamphlet, CD and license code.
One of my old ISPs got blocked when their upstream ISP started selling bandwidth to spammers. The situation was bad enough that my ISP, and many similar ISPs, were forced to change providers. The upstream ISP lost most of their customers and sold what was left to another ISP, who shot spammers on sight.
One of my favorite CDs, "Yonder" by Jerry Douglas and Peter Rowan, was recorded in various people's living rooms, with Neuman tube microphones, tube mic preamps, and a Tascam DA-88 digital recorder, according to the liner notes. It sounds very clean and life-like. It doesn't hurt that the music is performed by a couple of great musicians.
I don't know if people still do it, but there was a time when direct-to-disc recordings were popular with audiophiles. I've listened to a few of them and I was very impressed with the sound quality.
Back in the "good old days", there was enough money and people to do things the right way, even with some overkill. The post-Apollo era has been a long slow slide downhill. Much of NASA is now a hollow organization. Budget cuts have resulted in dramatically lowered standards. The institutional memory is fading away as people retire, die, move on to better jobs or get laid off. New hires are rarely seen. Periodic reorganizations try to mask the fact that the agency is decaying. The question is never "What do we need to do this the right way?", it's "How do we survive with N fewer people next year and perform some critical subset of our current responsibilities?", with the critical subset being redefined to match the available budget.
There is no electricity generated in the core of a nuclear reactor. The water is used as a heat transfer medium. The water is used to transfer heat to the steam generator. The steam generator produces high-pressure steam that is used to drive a steam turbine, just like in a conventional power plant.
Some nuclear reactors, such as graphite moderated reactors, are cooled with helium.
Any power plant that uses water/steam also has water treatment equipment to keep the water free of dissolved oxygen and other unwanted contaminants.
That confused me for a minute. I did some research and I found out that "=3D" is how an equals sign is encoded in the "quoted-printable" text encoding. This tends to show up when someone uses a non-ASCII character in a page of text, which can trigger "quoted-printable" text encoding in some software. The software on the receiving end is supposed to convert it back to normal text. Sometimes this doesn't happen, due to bugs or other causes. Then you are left with ugly text that contains "=3D" in every place that an equals sign appeared at in the original text. Whoever invented "quoted-printable" text encoding made the questionable decision of using the equals sign as the escape character in their encoding. That means that the equals sign, a perfectly good ASCII character, has to be replaced with its encoded equivalent "=3D". I found many instances of this problem while doing google searches.
Maybe he has more practical experience with it than you do. Plumbing leaks, whether it is water, hydraulic fluid, helium, nitrogen or natural gas. Plumbing systems also have to worry about contaminants, corrosion and critters.
A true civilization defends the weak, the unpopular, the undesirable, and yes, even the unsavory.
They are free to be weak, unpopular, undesirable, and unsavory on their own property. Trespassers who feel aggrieved are welcome to file a complaint with Mr. Winchester.
Your dope is taxed too. Back when the federal government had a more conservative view of its jurisdiction, it used its taxing authority to control or prohibit the sales and possession of certain drugs and firearms. They didn't think it was constitutional for the federal government to directly outlaw these items. See the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.
It shouldn't be a problem. Many LED displays are already "multiplexed", which means that only one segment is on at any given time. By rapidly switching from one segment to the next, it fools your eye into believing that all of the active segments are on.
It suggests running "portupgrade -rf gettext -m BATCH=yes" to update all the affected ports. Looks like my system is going to be recompiling ports for a few days.

They should finish it off by putting a "Beware of Leopard" sign on their door.

Toss members of the morality police out the nearest window.
I would think that IPSEC and AH would solve this problem, among many others.
One problem is that Apple does not support ECC memory on their systems.

The Department of Energy already has regulations on the efficiency of fluorescent lamp ballasts and other electrical devices.
It would also be nice to know what change in gettext was so important that it is worth recompiling all of the software that uses it.
It suggests running "portupgrade -rf gettext -m BATCH=yes" to update all the affected ports. Looks like my system is going to be recompiling ports for a few days.
