You might not like it, I wouldn't if I were in your situation, but maybe if enough people, other than the Indians, "feel the pain", the situation will be addressed seriously by the Department of the Interior and the federal government.
Past history seems to be that if it is just an "Indian problem", nobody gives a damn about fixing it.
The mismanagement of these trust funds has been a problem for decades. It isn't surprising that a federal judge has to bitchslap the Department of Interior to get their attention. Maybe the government will start to act responsibly if the judge puts some political appointees and senior civil servants in jail for contempt of court .
That used to be part of English common law, it was called "trial by combat". Although it was repealed in England, I've read that it might be possible to petition a judge for trial by combat in some American states, since the legal systems of most states is based on English common law. It would make those Microsoft antitrust cases a lot more interesting:-).
I still do sustaining engineering for a number of PCs that run OS/2 for telemetry and communications tasks. At the time the applications were developed, OS/2 was the best operating system for the job. It was a real 32-bit operating system with a GUI and decent software development tools that would run on cheap PC hardware. It beat the hell out of MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. Plus, IBM actually supported their software, a concept that is foreign to Microsoft and many other software vendors.
I don't care if OS/2 can't run the latest games and Microsoft bloatware. It does an excellent job of reliably running our custom applications.

The "15 times" is based on the fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled for motorcycles and passenger cars. The latest numbers can be found here. For 1999, motorcycles were 18 times as dangerous as passenger cars.

Great, for $2999 I can buy a Kawasaki Ninja, AKA DarwinCycle, and I am only 15 times more likely to be killed on the road than as a driver of an automobile. What a bargain! I think I would rather look like a dork.
The responsible executive has been dispatched to your home, to personally apologize to you for not living up to your expectations. Afterwards, he will commit seppuku.
There is often a huge difference between the performance of consumer-grade radio equipment and professional/commercial-grade radio equipment. One is optimized for cost, the other is optimized for performance. Good RF receivers are not cheap.
One of the reasons for using the RG6 quad shield coax is to prevent the leakage of CATV signals into the environment, which may cause interference with other services. This is a serious problem and the FCC has cracked down on cable systems that don't aggressively control leakage from their systems. That means if the cable company discovers that your in-house wiring is a source of leakage, they will disconnect your CATV service until you fix the problem. Don't use cheap coax for CATV distribution.
I remember buying some goods at a local catalog sales store in the 1970s and seeing a collection of ancient looking IBM mechanical punched card equipment in their back office, still in active use. No computers were evident, just specialized electromechanical devices processing Hollerith cards.
I've always wondered what tasks were performed by these predecessors to the modern computer. I assume that the catalog sales store was using them to keep track of inventory and/or sales.
Sometimes you can see these machines in 1960s spy or science fiction movies. Look for scenes where "the answer" to a question is delivered on a Hollerith card.
How does the pilot of the launching aircraft deal with the huge changes in the center-of-gravity when a large missile (Pegasus XL weighs about 50,000 lbs) is ejected from the rear of the aircraft.
It isn't a scientific test, but I've had excellent results with the Kodak Ultima (Gold and Silver) CD-Rs. I've gone through hundreds of them without any problems.
This isn't meant to be flamebait, but why bother? It sounds like a great deal of work just to implement a fundamentally flawed concept. Real modems are cheap, work well and don't suck up expensive CPU cycles.

How does the military deal with changes in the force of gravity due to altitude and location? A 1% change in gravity is a big deal if you are firing an artillery shell at a target over a long distance. I was watching a documentary on the ENIAC computer and it said the computer's primary task was to calculate gunnery tables for the military. Wouldn't all of those carefully calculated tables be useless if the force of gravity changed?
That's why there are such things as security clearances, background checks, access lists, security officers, etc.
No system is perfect. That doesn't mean that it isn't worth it to build a secure network. A security officer once told me that any system could be cracked, it was just a question of time and resources. The art of security is to make the cost of breaking into the system higher than the value of the information being protected. He said that the government had tested all of our locks and safes, and knew how long it would take an expert to crack them. They didn't have to be perfect, just good enough to stall an attacker for a specified amount of time.
I think there was a plan during World War II to tow an iceberg into the middle of the Atlantic ocean and use it as an aircraft carrier. There was a gap in the middle of the Atlantic ocean where ship convoys lost their air cover and were vulnerable to attack by German U-boats.
The driver does matter. The software determines the amplitude and frequency of the transmitted signal. If the amplitude is too high, it can produce crosstalk in other circuits.
I've sometimes wondered what kind of effect it would have on these wireless networks if I put up a 1500 Watt omnidirectional propagation beacon on 2.4 GHz. I have an FCC license that authorizes me to use the 2390-2450 MHz frequency band. If I remember correctly, Part 15 devices must accept interference from licensed users and may not cause interference to licensed users.

Even if the software is bug-free, a bad system design can make the system insecure.

The early launches were from a B52. Later on, they switched to the L1011 for the launch platform.

I think you have confused trademarks with copyrights. Trademarks must be defended to avoid the mark becoming part of the public domain.
