During the Spanish-American War (1898), the American Navy cut the oceanic telegraph cables that connected Cuba to the rest of the Spanish Empire. See Cable-Cutting At Cienfuegos. During the first and second world wars, underseas cables were high-priority targets and were often cut.
It would be nice to see a mil-spec PC that didn't cost an obscene amount of money. The common PC is fragile, flimsy, and quite picky about power sources and environmental conditions. I have some mil-spec (Mil Spec 810 C/D/E) two-way radio equipment that is nearly indestructible and wasn't that expensive.
The hardware looks nice but the overall product is ruined by Sony's greed and paranoia. I'm not going to buy something that was designed on the assumption that the user is a criminal and can't be trusted.
I don't think you understand transmission line theory. The characteristic impedance is not the determinant of what frequencies can be efficiently carried by a transmission line.
One problem is that it allows the voter to prove who he voted for, enabling coercion and the sale of votes. Absentee ballots have the same problem, which is why you used to need a better reason than "I'm too lazy to get off the couch" to vote with an absentee ballot.
At those temperatures, wouldn't it emit massive amounts of x-rays? It's beginning to sound like nuclear fireball physics, in which energy is transported out of the fireball by a cycle of emission and absorption of EM radiation. It would behave like a small nuclear weapon.
Many people did not have a choice about what investments their 401Ks were invested in. I was in that situation for many years. It took several acts of congress to force the companies to offer their employees some choices, after many people had been burned.
The damage caused by Venona shouldn't overshadow the huge amount of traffic, over many decades, that was never cracked. The Soviets were big fans of the OTP, and for good reason. They had many of the world's best mathematicians, and they were not stupid.
There are established procedures for handling lost or garbled messages. One simple technique is to put a unique serial number on each page of the pad, include the serial number in the message header, and start all messages on a new page.
They also had air conditioning, which was a big deal when home air conditioning meant opening a window.
There were ushers in the theater to keep the rabble in line and well behaved.
The theaters were a hell of a lot larger, many dated back to the vaudeville and silent film era. They were real theaters, big enough to present live performances.
You aren't thinking like an intelligence agency. There are subtle ways that hardware can be modified that are hard to detect. Many of these techniques have been known for decades. They can be designed to be deniable. You don't have to collect information from all of the PCs, just the ones that have been installed in interesting places.
Teenagers are, for the most part, stupid. They don't have the maturity and experience that usually comes with age. I certainly did my share of stupid things when I was a teenager.
Hearing loss can be insidious. I damaged my hearing by long-term occupational exposure to the noise from diesel generators. It didn't seem that loud at the time.
Owning a trademark does not mean that you own the words in the trademark. I can write about Blizzard and World of Warcraft all day without infringing on their trademark. I don't need Blizzard's permission to write "World of Warcraft" in a document. Trademarks are designed to protect the customer, not to be pieces of IP that can be used to abuse others in court. If I write a book, "How to win at World of Warcraft(tm)", Blizzard has no legal basis to interfere.

Receiving anything at that distance is a very impressive feat. There are so many things that have to work near-perfectly to detect such a weak signal.

It's a pretty slick ad, and has been on the air for a long time. They must be doing something right to have paid for the ad and kept it on the air.
I just wish it was that easy to make "big money" on the Internet.

There's something called a transmission line that you might want to investigate.
Try a credit union. They typically have better service and fewer/smaller fees.

Considering that the human body is mostly water, wouldn't it flash to steam and blow up when struck by a light saber?
Can the Poles can be removed from the plain?

Very well, thank you.

Then why have they been buying up classic electric guitars and audio equipment for years?

That would be an improvement.
How about the human brain? Many cells contain magnetite crystals. Their function is unknown.
Or heat, or hot water, thanks to electrical ignitors and controls. An extended blackout in the middle of winter can be very unpleasant.
You can put N+1 cores in your N core chip, and disable one after testing.

I've noticed that numbers with repeated digits, like XXX-X77X, get more misdialed calls.
