Do you really believe all of your ancestors came to America "legally"?
Yes. Next question.
Anyway, screw it, the US has behaved so appallingly in latin America, that the immigrants have the right to come & try and get a little of their wealth back (and they work damn hard for it too)
I'd tell them to file any complaints with Spain, Portugal, and the Catholic Church. Those are the people that looted and oppressed Latin America.
You have to distinguish between legal and illegal immigration. I have no problem with people who immigrate legally, with the proper visa. I do have a problem with those who enter illegally, or who enter on a tourist visa and decide to stay. They should be deported, and anyone who hires them should face criminal penalties.
I don't see how. A given antenna, say dipole or isotropic radiator, becomes less effective as the frequency is increased. I'm assuming that is the source of the frequency dependent part of the equation. So other things being equal, increasing the frequency also increases the path loss.
Since when can an artist's style be copyrighted? Artists have been copying other artists' styles since the dawn of history. If I want to paint in the style of Miro or Norman Rockwell, there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.
See the Friis Transmission Equation. Doubling the frequency results in a 6 dB loss at the receiver. So the signal strength is proportional to the square of the wavelength.
If your motherboard supports a maximum of 256 MB, adding more RAM is not "cheap". Neither is adding memory to some older systems that use uncommon types of memory.
Even if you could fabricate the head assembly, you still have a major problem. Modern track densities require closed-loop head positioning. If you could shrink yourself to the size of the head gap, you would see the head constantly moving laterally to keep itself positioned over the track. At this scale, the platter is no longer an ideal rigid disk.
Head per track drives, like the DEC RF11, disappeared a long time ago. They were expensive and had poor track density. Today, it is more cost-effective to use DRAM. There are RAM drives that have an integral battery backup system that can survive power problems and dump the contents of RAM to an internal hard disk if needed.
Think about the natural causes of mortality for wild animals, are radiation effects going to have a substantial impact on populations? Cancer is largely a disease of the old.
I once saw a science film where they did that with mosquitoes. They sprayed them with DDT until 90% had died, then let the survivors breed. After doing this a dozen times, they had mosquitoes that would laugh at you when sprayed with DDT.
Tell the companies to move somewhere else. Cupertino used to be very affordable back when it was mostly orchards and undeveloped land. Hewlett-Packard was the only big company in the area.
One solution would be to require the handsets to mute the call if they detected a receive carrier doppler shift above a specified limit. You can move or talk, but not both.
I get depressed every time I read an EULA. They disclaim all responsibility and warranties, basically saying that if they deliver useless crap, you will just have to smile and be grateful that they relieved you of all that excess money. You have to be a lawyer to know what parts are enforceable, what parts are questionable, and what parts are legal bullshit. It isn't a negotiated agreement between two parties, it's the strong dictating terms to the weak.
It will eventually catch up with them. I no longer trust Sony or HP to make quality hardware. They have spent too many years cutting corners and outsourcing everything to the lowest bidder in China. Now many products are "badge engineered". They just import an existing product from China and stick their name on it.

The military screens out idiots and nut cases during the recruitment process. The same can't be said for the major political parties.
Rag paper has been around for a very long time. US currency is printed on rag paper. Wood is a popular raw material for paper products because it is cheap. No conspiracies needed, it's just economics.

You could always look it up at a university library. Never publishing an article that cites a paper in a journal isn't a good solution.
Yes. Next question.

It's "real programmer" jargon for programs that do a lot of number crunching, like physics or weather simulations.
You've just doubled the testing required for new X360 software. That is a big deal.

And they said that the ability to change the values of constants at run-time was a bug. Ha! Take that, you quiche eaters.

In real-life, the intercepts that cryptanalysts work with often have missing or garbled characters.

They could behave like the Komodo dragon, bite something, withdraw, and hang around until the prey dies from the infected wound.

I always liked the idea that the land-dwelling ancestor of the whales said "fsck this, we're going back in the water".

Your "fact" is disputed by many people. The bulldozer driver said that he didn't see her, and the armored bulldozer had limited visibility.
Some drivers still wouldn't see you, even if you soaked your clothes in gasoline and set them on fire.
