Nope. The NSA is about security, not intel. (See the name? "National Security Agency") Their job is to defend against outside intel organizations.
They do both. From their mission statement:
The Information Assurance mission provides the solutions, products, and services, and conducts defensive information operations, to achieve information assurance for information infrastructures critical to U.S. national security interests.
The foreign signals intelligence or SIGINT mission allows for an effective, unified organization and control of all the foreign signals collection and processing activities of the United States. NSA is authorized to produce SIGINT in accordance with objectives, requirements, and priorities established by the Director of Central Intelligence with the advice of the National Foreign Intelligence Board.
The problem is holding on to that atmosphere. Mars has weak gravity and a weak magnetic field. That allows light atoms and molecules to escape into space, and it's aggravated by the solar wind.
One of the factors that is going to hurt PC gaming is copy protection. How many games silently install device drivers of unknown function/quality? How many games must run as Administrator? Some games now check for a laundry list of "hacker tools" before they will run. With security becoming increasingly important, some people are going to be unwilling to risk the integrity of their system just to install and run a game.
Sounds like a personal problem. You are free to buy a firewall and any other toys you need to harden your network and systems to the level that makes you happy. You are free to file complaints with other ISPs about systems that are trying to abuse your systems. You can even hire a lawyer to take legal action against their owners. Lobby your legislature for new laws and/or increased funding for enforcement. Just don't ask my ISP to cripple their network because you can't take the heat.
If you want to be protected from the big bad Internet, signup with AOL. Some of us just want IP dialtone. Route the damn packets and leave us alone. I certainly don't want my ISP passing judgement on what ports they'll allow in packets that traverse their network.
You are confused. It has nothing to do with tones or frequencies.
Morse Code keyers, whether straight keys, bugs, or the latest microprocessor-controlled widget, do nothing more than open or close a switch. Switch closed = transmitter on. Switch open = transmitter off. The transmitter can be anything from a battery (telegraph), to a signal lamp, to an RF oscillator (radiotelegraph), anything that can be turned on/off and detected at a distance.
If you think SMS prices have any relationship to the cost of providing the service, I have a nice little bridge in Brooklyn that you might be interested in.
Actually, I think it's bad for capitalism. How can you have free and competitive markets when buyers can't share pricing information? It reminds me of when I went shopping for a new bed. The manufacturers and retailers had colluded to setup a system where every retailer had a unique set of products, even though they all came from the same factories. Store A is selling a Sealy Snooze King for $300. Store B doesn't carry the Sealy Snooze King, but they have the Sealy Slumber King for $350. It's very difficult to compare prices if you don't know which products are the same, even though they are sold under different names.
They just want a computer that is cheap and works. They don't want to know what's inside the box. I can't say that I blame them. Besides, since the demise of vacuum tubes, people have been trained to never open the box, on pain of electrocution.
You don't want the power supply to be any farther away from the load than necessary. Long power cables can cause problems with excessive voltage drop and poor voltage regulation.
So thats great and all, but why are you programming in a professional capacity in a language that no one can maintain?
What, like Perl?
I've written scripts in REXX, and found it easy to write and easy to read at a later date. There are books available on the language. I'd recommend "The REXX Language" by Cowlishaw.
Analog tape has its advantages. The technology is relatively simple and high-quality tape can last for many decades if stored properly. You can still get replacement heads, although you might cringe at the price. A tape transport could be built from scratch for much less money than more technologically sophisticated devices. Many old tape transports were built to last. I know of many that are still in daily use, even though they were purchased in the 1970s.

All we have left is basalt.
They do both. From their mission statement:
The Earth is big. Really big. We're talking about a volume of roughly 1E21 m^3. That's a cube of over 5 km per side for every person on the Earth.
The problem is holding on to that atmosphere. Mars has weak gravity and a weak magnetic field. That allows light atoms and molecules to escape into space, and it's aggravated by the solar wind.
Apple's deploys the 187th Regimental Litigation Team (Airborne) in a successful night drop on Taipei. Resistance is said to be light.
That's not the way that most ISPs work. It would kill their routers, not to mention the added costs of managing such a mess.

It isn't that hard. The military used to teach it to all radio operators in about 3 weeks.
Just wait. Networked medical devices will become much more common in the future. See here for an example.

If they did understand the effects, they still wouldn't be scared of it. Uranium is a poor choice of material for a "dirty bomb".
Then why didn't he take advantage of Germany's clear superiority in chemical weapons, in particular, nerve agents?
Brian isn't going to like that.
It's much more readable than most efforts at machine translation.

Most people never open the case on their PC, so what's the point in making it "easily upgradeable".
It's also cheaper to mount it inside the case.
If you get drunk, and brag about killing your spouse, is it immoral for a bystander to pass that information on to the police?
I built one of these with an RM-60, a smoke detector and an old laptop computer. It worked great, although it was a bit slow.
