It wouldn't even come close to destroying Manhattan. It might cause some damage along the section of the Manhattan riverfront closest to ground zero, depending on where the bomb was detonated. Nuclear weapons are not magical devices that destroy everything within sight. Their effects are limited and largely predictable. Exaggerating their effects serves no purpose except to generate panic and irrational fear.
It also had some severe safety problems. The design was so simple that accidental detonation was a serious risk. It could also go critical if it was immersed in water.
I doubt it. 20 kilotons is not that large a yield. While everything with several kilometers of ground zero may be destroyed or badly damaged, most of the effects are going to be localized. The main problem would be supplying medical, fire and rescue services to the survivors.
The bandwidth isn't any smaller, it's still 6 MHz. What has changed is the improved resistance to interference. That allows more stations to fit in the same band, with less spectrum wasted on protecting stations from interference.
Why not just cast the vessel? Forgings are stronger for the same weight, but you can just make the cast part larger. Once installed, it isn't going anywhere.
Some observers have noted that the 3340 was known as "Winchester" because its development engineers called it a "30-30" (its two spindles each had a disk capacity of 30 megabytes), the common name of a rifle manufactured by the Winchester Company. Kenneth E. Haughton, who led the 3340 development effort, is reported to have said: "If it's a 30-30, then it must be a Winchester."
You are going to need considerably more than 8.5 kbps to get the same audio quality as provided by the CVR. I'd figure a minimum of 32 kbps for each voice channel and 64 kbps for the area microphone. That's a total of 160 kbps. You need real digitized audio, not the output of an aggressive vocoder running at a low bit rate.
Considering what they were doing, I think they got off very lightly. 5 years is not a lengthy sentence for espionage and subversion, not to mention the huge conspiracy.
I've been seeing the same problem recently and it isn't a router problem. My router is a separate box and has no problems handling bittorrent traffic. I can reset the cable modem and get reconnected to the Internet if, and only if, I kill all bittorrent programs that are running on my computers. Even worse than forging RST packets, Comcast appears to be disconnecting cable modems when they detect bittorrent traffic.
What's the satellite network that you are referring to? Most remote telemetry applications use burst transmissions to transmit limited amounts of data.
For one thing, it would be horrendously expensive to develop and deploy a network of satellites and ground stations capable of handling a high-speed data feed from every commercial aircraft that's in operation. Black boxes are much more cost effective and reliable. They work in all weather and are insensitive to aspect ratios and loss of attitude control.
One of their selling points is that you don't have to delete old email in order to stay under a restrictive storage quota. There are still multiple ways that mail can be lost, even if Google's hardware and software operate perfectly.
The problem with the $400 Dell isn't its performance, it's its reliability under load. The same can be said of most PCs. They are designed to be cheap and disposable, with "good enough" performance and reliability for non-critical tasks and light loads. Intel set the tone for this, many years ago, when they declared that non-parity memory was good enough for mass-market PCs.
It may be stupid, but I read that Microsoft has deprecated OpenGL in favor of their own graphics technology. They supported it when they were trying to move people from Unix workstations to NT/2000/XP. With that accomplished, it's time to cut off OpenGL's air supply.

200,000 web pages is not the same thing as 200,000 web sites.

Supercomputers aren't about "cheap", they're about having the speed and power to do jobs that would crush ordinary computers.
You can get good gain in an omnidirectional antenna with a collinear design. The hitch is that it's vertically polarized.

It's an act of war by the residents of the Gaza Strip and their democratically elected gang of thugs.
The original Winchester drive had two 30MB spindles, 30-30.
It's already been done. See the single-level store architecture of IBM's System/38, introduced in 1979. It was later replaced by IBM's AS/400.

They survived the aftermath of Operation "Snow White" with no long-term consequences.

It's one more thing that can fail, requires regular maintenance, creates new hazards, and adds weight.

Package it properly and it can survive almost anything. The military has been using proximity fuses in artillery shells since World War II.
