While the drugs may give you a nice buzz, they also can have the side effect of shutting down your gastro-intestinal tract. Getting things moving again can be a real pain in the ass.
They didn't say that the information in NCIC was inaccurate, just that they are "special" and shouldn't have been in the database. It's up to Canada to set and enforce their border policy. They refuse entry to many people who have been convicted of minor crimes. If they want to exclude people that have been arrested and convicted of a crime associated with a political protest, they are free to do so. It is possible to be a dissident without engaging in criminal acts. It just might not get you on the 6 o'clock news.
I can remember when the quality of records, already hit or miss, really turned to crap when the price of oil shot up. The increase in the price of vinyl resulted in many record companies cutting costs by making records thinner and adding fillers to the vinyl.
It wouldn't be an issue if you had a proper anti-alias filter in your digitization circuit. This isn't rocket science. Any decent book on digital signal processing will cover this in detail. The designer may have left it out to save a few bucks.
'Analog' tapes are a PWM format - analog by virtue of continuously variable pulse width.
Where did you get that idea? Have you ever used an analog recorder? Analog recorders are indeed analog. There are two primary recording modes, direct and FM. Most recorders use direct recording. Some specialized recorders use FM, in which the audio is used to frequency modulate a carrier signal that is then recorded onto the tape.
Your professor was incompetent, or you have left out some facts.
There's a big difference between the theoretical limits on information transmission and the practical limits imposed by economics and the current state of technology. I saw 9.6k full-duplex modems in widespread use in the 1970s. They were available to anyone who could afford their steep price ($20K each).
The thing is from what I understand is that in order to get data from A to B more quickly you either need A) Multiple bands/More Bandwidth or B) Higher Frequency because you can switch states faster.
The relevant parameters are bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio, not the frequency.
A large number of HD television sets were sold without ATSC tuners. Now that ATSC chip-sets are being produced in large volumes, it's a feature that can be added at a low cost. Might as well throw in support for QAM.
You know, airports are dangerous places. It would be a real shame if your baggage had an "accident" on its way to the baggage claim area. For a small fee, we can guarantee its safety.

The operating system that he bought was a clone of CP/M. This meant that the BIOS was responsible for handling console I/O. It didn't assume the presence of memory-mapped video or I/O. You could run it on a system with serial ports and a video terminal for a console, leaving 1 MiB of address space for the operating system and user applications. It was the design of the IBM PC that reserved a big chunk of address space for memory-mapped I/O and various ROMs.
It was a Russian subsystem that failed, so don't instinctively crap on NASA for every problem in the world. That said, reliability engineering is a complex subject. It involves a lot of modeling and analysis. It isn't reducible to a few simple rules. If you think the solution is obvious, you don't understand the problem.
A trademark does not give you ownership of a word or phrase. Trademark protection is limited to the use of the trademark in commerce, to identify a product. MoveOn.org and Google should be ashamed of themselves for abusing the legal system to squelch free speech.

Standards can include patented inventions. Usually the standards organizations insist that the patent holders agree to license any relevant patents on a "non-discriminatory and reasonable licensing fee" basis.
I've read reports of RFI to VOR and ILS systems, so it is a real issue. Portable radio receivers have been a known source of interference, via LO radiation, to aircraft communication and navigation systems for almost 50 years. These systems were not designed to be jam-resistant or spoof-resistant. Many military GPS receivers have those features, but those aren't the GPS receivers in civilian aircraft.
Some people need the legal equivalent of a two-by-four upside their head before they will obey the law. They are the same people likely to be found driving by themselves in a high-occupancy-vehicle lane.
Any RF transmitter has the potential to cause interference with the aircraft's communication and navigation systems. Besides the intended signal, transmitters also produce spurious outputs and noise at other frequencies. This can be a real problem for systems that deal with weak signals like GPS receivers. It doesn't take much power to jam a GPS receiver. A plane full of wifi devices could create an interference nightmare.
How about just switching my fscking packets and shove your "value added" up your ass. The contents of my packets are none of your business. I'll be very happy when IPSEC is ubiquitous and the only information ISPs will have access to is the minimum needed for routing.

Salt is going to damage cells. Capsaicin is more like sneaking up on your nerves and hitting them over the head with a blackjack.

I know about bias. What you see if you attach a scope to the reproduce heads of an analog recorder is not PWM.

Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens and can obtain a social security number. They have the same rights as any other U.S. citizen.

You can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a critic.
No "silver bullet" will ever compensate for incomplete and/or erroneous requirements.
If you want really sick and twisted humor, try living in a war zone.

That's debatable. They are suspected of causing the crash of Crossair flight LX 498.
