The M16 has its problems but it isn't so fragile that it will break in half. If you take the time to keep it clean and lubricated, it's an excellent rifle. I never had any major problems with my M16A1 and I never saw one that had been broken in half.
The "little guys in black pajamas" got their asses kicked and were effectively destroyed in the Tet Offensive. South Vietnam was conquered by conventional army units from North Vietnam, not the VC.
There is a legal distinction between testimony and material objects like diaries and journals. From what I've read, a court can compel someone to hand over material objects, like a safe, but it can't compel someone to say the combination. This issue came up quite often during Prohibition. Many rum runners kept their business records in code. The government would often seize these records during a raid. The government used their own cryptanalysts to break the codes and testify in court as expert witnesses.
A court order doesn't override the defendant's constitutional rights. If the prosecutor really wants the information badly enough, the defendant can be granted immunity or "use immunity". Then the defendant could be held in contempt of court if he refused to testify, the grant of immunity having negated the possibility of self-incrimination.
It isn't about money, it's about control. If given a choice between money and control, Microsoft will pick control. The money will follow later. Why do you think that they buy companies, only to kill the products that were their major assets?
He might start caring if the USA asked for his extradition, or if he ends up on a list that guarantees that he can never get a visa. Piss off the wrong people and they will do their best to return the favor.
The IRS isn't stupid. They have limited enforcement resources and generally apply them where they will get the highest return. Remember that moron who won $1 million on the Survivor TV show and tried to skip out on paying taxes? He's now inmate #05559-070.
You should win the Olympic medal for jumping to conclusions.
Almost all spacecraft do have a large number of temperature sensors that are connected to the spacecraft telemetry system. They are used to detect equipment problems and thermal management issues. This has been standard procedure for many decades.
Really? Then explain why Verizon is installing fiber all over my town, instead of just improving modem speeds...
Among other things, because they are cheap bastards. Besides making it possible to offer new services, fiber is cheaper to maintain than copper. They stopped installing gazillion pair copper cables a long time ago.
There is no access key. The transponder simply takes what comes into the receiver in a specific frequency band, shifts the frequency, and retransmits it. Most of the security is derived from the difficulty and expense of constructing and operating an earth station. One transponder can be shared among many users. Proper operation of the transponder is dependent on the users voluntarily following the rules regarding frequency, bandwidth and power level. An incompetent or hostile user can effectively jam the transponder.
Many police officers believe that they, and their family members, should never receive tickets from their fellow law enforcement officers. They call it "professional courtesy". Unfortunately for them, the red-light camera has no concept of professional courtesy. That's a good thing. Believe it or not, police officers are subject to traffic laws, even though they are rarely enforced.
It's easy enough to check the radio logs and find out if they were on routine patrol or if they had been dispatched to an emergency. Most police departments have audio recorders that record all radio traffic on police frequencies, and record a time code.
In Maryland, the landlord has a legal obligation to mitigate his damages.
Q -"What is the responsibility of the landlord when a lease is broken?"
A - The landlord must make a reasonable effort to mitigate his damages by trying to rent the apartment as soon as possible. He can't hide the fact that your apartment is now available, but he doesn't have to put your apartment ahead of other vacancies.
Normally, the landlord is expected to make reasonable efforts to find a new tenant. He can't just sit on his ass, leaving the property empty while collecting lease payments from the lessee. A lease isn't a lottery ticket, the landlord shouldn't expect to receive more than his actual damages.
In the real world, you may not have much of a choice. In areas where there is little competition, you will often find that all of the providers have the same onerous terms in their contracts. That's why there are consumer protection laws, to curb the worst abuses.
At a minimum, early termination fees should be prorated.
They still make N batteries. They are just harder to find. I've had good luck finding them at Radio Shack. I have some old HP clamshell calculators that use them.
It's a compromise. Three levels is too small and four levels is sufficient for most tasks. The architecture was designed when every transistor was precious.
The color scheme sucks. In recent years, HP has developed a talent for picking colors and backgrounds that make it difficult to read the legends. It also has some bugs in the math functions.
You can do it. The NSA has a whole group of people who do this for a living. The problem is holes. Think about doors, windows, ventilation ducts, plumbing, electrical wiring, etc. There are solutions for these problems, but they cost money.
Most radio receivers are also unintentional transmitters. Take a look at the block diagram of a super-heterodyne receiver. The receiver has a local oscillator that is mixed with the incoming signal in order to shift it to a fixed intermediate frequency. Local oscillator radiation is very common. With the right equipment, I can sit in a van outside your house and tell if your television set is turned on, and if so, what channel it is tuned to. Repressive governments have used this to discover who is listening to prohibited radio stations like the BBC and Voice of America. Due to the way the airwaves were allocated, local oscillator radiation from FM broadcast band radios can directly interfere with aircraft communications and navigation receivers, which use a band of frequencies that are adjacent to the FM broadcast band. This was discovered decades ago, when people started to carry portable radios on board aircraft. GPS receivers are very susceptible to interference. Even when everything is working properly, the signals are very weak. It doesn't take much power to jam them.

The defendant has no obligation to provide the prosecution with incriminating information.
Most computers are designed to be cheap, not reliable. Error detection costs time and money.

Now dance, cowboy!
The trick is to put a small glass of water in with the CD. That makes the magnetron happy. Put the CD on top of the glass.
They used chilled water to cool many of their big mainframes before they switched to CMOS.
