A friend of mine used to be an MP. Civilians who committed serious traffic offenses, or other crimes, on base had to appear before a magistrate in a federal court. That was California. I don't see why Virginia would be treated differently.

Mobile phones existed for many years before the introduction of cellular phones. They are not the same thing. With a mobile phone, one base station provides coverage for a large area, like a city. A mobile phone is a basic two-way radio, without the intelligence and features needed to operate in a cellular system.
You can put a better user interface on a device with a high-quality color display. Many monochrome displays have poor contrast and are hard to read if your eyesight isn't good.
That's why we have judges and juries. Paper can be forged or altered. Witnesses lie. The world is not a perfect place. It's up to the jury to evaluate the evidence, including its credibility.
The telephone company is under no obligation to reserve a wire pair for a disconnected phone. They will take the wire pair if they need it for a paying customer.
It isn't that obvious to me. From what I've read, this is a very long running trade dispute over whether Canada dumps (subsidizes) softwood lumber in the United States, and whether the United States can impose anti-dumping or punitive tariffs on the lumber, and if so, at what level. I don't see anything that says the United States is ignoring relevant trade treaties, just that there is a dispute. See here for a Canadian synopsis. Calling that "ignoring treaty obligations" is a big leap, unless you classify any position that deviates from the Canadian view of things as a treaty violation.
Nintendo has the advantage that the Game Cube uses a Power PC CPU and an ATI graphics chip, just like the Revolution. So they have a much easier task of making the Revolution compatible with the Game Cube. They didn't switch to a completely incompatible CPU and graphics chip like Microsoft did with the Xbox 360.
With the right error-correcting codes, you can make the disks extremely resistant to hard errors. The problem is that this reduces the usable capacity of the disk due to increased overhead. The trick is to balance durability and usable capacity. This also affects the production yield in manufacturing pre-recorded disks.
Many TV shows are shot on film. The problem is that some of them scan the film to SD digital video before adding special effects and doing the post-production.
The only one that I'm aware of is the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. It prohibits the deployment of nuclear weapons in orbit, such as the fractional orbit bombardment systems (FOBS) that were viewed as the next step beyond the ICBM back in the 1960s.
There are a lot of people who are quick to claim that the United States ignores its treaty obligations. Would it be too much to ask for them to back up their assertions with some facts?
The size of the Xbox is one of the major reasons that it has been a disaster in the Japanese market. Even Microsoft admitted that when they discussed the design of the Xbox 360. It may not be such a big deal in other markets, but many people do care about the size and design of their electronics hardware. The Game Cube is a good example of efficient design.
Mail-in ballots are an invitation for fraud. We already have political workers trolling the nursing homes for votes in many places. It's so convenient, they even fill out the ballot for you.
One problem that I've run into is that the server's disk has crashed and nobody can find the CD or its case. It was last seen several years ago when the software was installed. Sure, someone should be keeping track of such things, but that's a level of planning and organization that isn't present in some companies.
Have you looked at a frequency allocation chart lately? Many federal agencies have HF frequency allocations for emergency communications. Not to mention the maritime and aeronautical bands that are used when VHF/UHF is not available due to distance.
The laws of physics are not simply "technical problems" to be overcome. The design of the power distribution system is a given, since BPL is supposed to operate over the existing system, possibly with minor modifications. This isn't a purpose-built RF transmission line. Phasing the RF signals on the transmission lines would alter the radiation pattern, not eliminate it. Even if you came up with a scheme that would reduce radiation from three-phase distribution systems, it wouldn't do anything for the large lengths of tertiary single-phase wiring that is fed from the three-phase distribution system. Spreading codes are not a panacea, they just dilute the interference by dispersing it in the frequency domain.
I've never understood how BPL even made it to the trial stage. Any EE with two brain cells is going to recognize that putting broadband HF/VHF carriers on unshielded power lines is a recipe for interference to many licensed radio services. See that wire going down the road? It's a fscking antenna, you moron!

It's got the same CPU as the HP-49G+ calculator, which sells for about £125 in the UK.

No. There's a lot of stuff that never gets written up in textbooks.

My DVD+RW drive claims that it can burn dual-layer media. I haven't tried it, dual-layer disks are still very expensive.

There is no such prohibition, and it has already been done. The Soviets had an automatic cannon installed in several of their Salyut space vehicles.

Truth is stranger than fiction. The Treasury Department will replace damaged or destroyed currency if you can supply satisfactory proof to them.

Many state police agencies, and other state-level public agencies, use low-band VHF (30-50 MHz).

Then you wont mind if I dump a ton of toxic waste in your yard. Clean air and water is so 20th century.
