Power management reduces, but doesn't eliminate, interference. What I'd like to see is a phased-array antenna, like those used on modern radar systems and communications satellites, only cheap enough for widespread use. That would greatly improve signal strengh and reduce interference.
The program was designed for people who already had been diagnosed with diabetes, to teach them how to live with and manage their disease and reduce or avoid the complications associated with poorly controlled diabetes. A gym is a poor substitute for education.
I saw an interesting documentary that described how hospitals couldn't afford to offer a comprehensive preventative care program for diabetics. They made plenty of money caring for the complications of diabetes, but preventative care was a big money loser. What a perverse system we have.
I'd like to see the law changed to state that non-competes are only enforceable if the ex-employee is paid full wages and benefits for the period of the non-compete. If they want to keep someone out of the labor market, let them pay for it.
Analog TV is obsolete. Broadcast NTSC is on the way out and the cable operators are planning to switch their systems to all-digital as soon as the digital STBs become cheap enough to give away to their analog customers. In the not too distant future, analog TV will be dead.
How does it compare to the neutrino flux from the Sun? Everything that I've read about neutrino detectors seems to emphasize how rare it is for a neutrino to interact with matter, like only detecting a small number of events per year.
It's usually a matter of saving a few dollars in parts cost. Color-burst crystals are cheap due to huge production volume, plus they can be used as the clock source for the NTSC video encoder.
External and internal sources of vibration (noise) would still be a problem, and then there is a biggie, temperature change and the thermal coefficients of expansion of the various materials. Temperature change was a known problem back in the days of 5.25" 65 MB hard disks. You weren't supposed to format a disk until it had been running for several hours and had reached thermal equilibrium.
I'm surprised that he survived. At those levels of deceleration, people are often killed by things like a torn aorta, which can kill you very quickly due to massive internal bleeding.
NC-17 does not mean "pornography". Real pornographers don't bother getting their films rated by the MPAA.

Counterfeit goods are more likely to show up at retailers that don't buy from authorized distributors. The companies that specialize in inventory liquidations, overruns, excess inventory, etc. They can be fooled by a smooth salesman with a genuine-looking product at an attractive price. Some don't need to be fooled. They know they are selling counterfeit merchandise and do not care.
I assumed that the user was responsible for backing up any valuable data on their system. Knowing the average user, that probably isn't a good assumption. I don't think the repair shop should be liable for data loss, it's the user's responsibility to make backups. Besides periodic backups, I always do a backup before doing any major hardware or software maintenance. If the tech accidentally fries some hardware, it should be repaired or replaced.
Somehow, I've always avoided problems with spyware and viruses. Maybe I'm just lucky. Registry rot is another matter.
If one of your techs does wreck an employee's computer, I hope that your response is something better than pointing to a sheet of paper that the employee signed. Even the best technician will do something stupid on occasion, that's how people learn. It's much cheaper to just fix the problem and eat the cost. To do otherwise risks generating a lot of ill will and you may end up paying for it anyway, plus legal and court costs.
I don't think it's a DVD player. It's probably a glorified dongle like the DVD attachment for the Xbox. It's used to avoid paying the licensing fees for a DVD player. The licensing fees are bundled into the price of the dongle, not the base system.
Can you say "artificial trade barrier"? In an ideal Internet, location would be irrelevant. That concept is unacceptable to the many corporations that have built their business on the model of regional distribution monopolies.
That's globalization for you. Don't complain if your job gets outsourced to a cheaper worker, half-way round the world. Don't even think of undermining the local distribution monopolies by importing cheap goods from other regions.

The problem with sarcasm is that many people really are that stupid.
Maybe morally, but not legally.
No, not by itself.

You've obviously never read the Washington Times. Too busy curling up with the latest issue of the People's Weekly World?

Yes, although they didn't have to pass a law to do it. AT&T voluntarily cooperated with the federal government.

It's (3.579545 MHz) the NTSC color-burst frequency.

Fewer syllables. Informal language tends to drop excess syllables. For example, math vs. mathematics.

By many standards, Japan has a very dysfunctional society. It isn't an example to be emulated.
