The capacity of a communications channel is primarily dependent on the bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. See the Shannon-Hartley theorem. Given a fixed 1 MHz channel, the bit rate depends on the signal-to-noise ratio.
According to this,
they plan to use 2155-2175 MHz, not 20 MHz. After all the nonsense with BPL. I was afraid that someone else was stupid enough to propose using HF for short-range data transmission.
Not necessarily. Bugs can be designed to be passive, and nearly undetectable. Information can be leaked via intentional flaws in the shielding and filtering. Covert information channels can be very subtle and difficult to detect. They aren't going to stuff a bunch of bytes in a packet and ship it off to hq.pla.cn.
They say they want democracy in the Middle East, but when there is democracy in the Middle East, they don't respect the outcome (Hamas).
Bullshit. Holding a democratic election does not absolve you of responsibility for the outcome. If "the People" want Hamas to run the P.A., they will have to live with the consequences of that decision. The rest of the world is under no obligation to underwrite the operations of a group of terrorists, whether democratically elected or not.
Contingency fees don't help if you are defending against a nuisance lawsuit. Many plaintiff's lawyers take advantage of this by offering to settle out of court for an amount that is less than the legal fees the defendant would pay for a "victory". You can pay them $20K to go away or pay your lawyer $50K to go to trial. If an insurance company is involved, they may make the decision for you, just looking at what is cheaper for them.
I think you overestimate the general public's interest in Star Trek. Most museums are doing well if they can pay their bills. They aren't money machines.
If you continue to slowly increase the temperature, at what point do the bacteria reach an evolutionary dead-end and die? There are bacteria that survive on or near geothermal vents.
They should be damn careful if they buy Boeing aircraft for the official use of the Chinese government. There would be a very good chance such aircraft would get some extra features, courtesy of American intelligence agencies. None of this is new. Ask the Trojans about that nice statue of a horse given to them by the Greeks.
Diebold is not a charity. They are going to spend as little as possible on engineering, as long as they can still deliver an "acceptable" product. Making it secure requires expertise, analysis, design, implementation and testing. That equates to people and time, which aren't free. That increases costs and the value of the product, which normally results in a higher price.
You could, the problem is surface area. Compare the media surface area of a 3.5" floppy disk to a tape cartridge.
Even if they have the same density, the tape cartridge will have much larger capacity.
You can buy an IBM 3592 tape cartridge (300 GB) for $135. The tape cartridge does not require a case, power supply, I/O channel, etc., plus it uses less floor space.
7-track tape used BCDIC and Field Code, among other character codes.
NASA and the Navy used 7-track tape for many years due to their use of certain UNIVAC computers (Naval Tactical Data System, AN/USQ-20) which were designed before the introduction of 9-track tape.
It's useful information if you are going to design time distribution networks, troubleshoot them, or evaluate their performance. NTP's algorithms are much more exposed to the user than those in protocols like TCP. It lets you twist many of the knobs.
The telephone companies have been grossly overcharging their customers for T1 lines for many years, even as the cost of providing the service has declined. How much of the quoted T1 cost is for the T1 line and how much is for an Internet connection at T1 rates?
Olive Garden? Barf. It's a chain that allegedly serves Italian food, not a "fancy restaurant".
Try a real restaurant that has a talented kitchen staff. They can be hard to find in this era of franchises and corporate food laboratories, but they exist. Some of them are surprisingly cheap.

Many states have criminal libel laws.
Thieves are not known for their intelligence, contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe.

Well, there are good trolls (me) and bad trolls who fry their brains with slab and post on slashdot.
Trolls should be put down or sterilized.
Compare the funding. Many people say they want security, but few are willing to demand it and pay for it.

That's not what they said. They are comparing the cost per gigabyte to store data, a hard disk vs. a tape drive and tape cartridges.
