Given that the teacher's response was to stick it in her desk drawer and continue with the day's lessons, she obviously didn't think it was anything dangerous.
Pretend that you could fully record two full weeks of received signal and whatever fidelity. Record two weeks of the 2.4 ghz spectrum at, say, a large apartment building. Assume that it's all 802.11 b/g/n with wpa2 encryption.
What's the earliest decade you could hand that recording to a bunch of scientists from, and have them retrieve meaningful communication from it? 2000s? 1990s? 80s? 70s? As you go further back in time, you're not only requiring them to figure out the encryption, but to decode the physical layer, the transport layer, file formats...
Hell, could you hand a group of scientists from 1980 take an unencrypted.mp4 and get it to play? How long would it take them? The 80s meant Commodore 64s. Say it's a four gigabyte file. They'd need to invent something that they could store the data on, just to start working on it!
Yes, and rather than say "I hate that term, and here's a quick digression why, but to answer your ACTUAL question...." he went full-on thought police and refused to answer the question because, gasp, somebody didn't phrase it in a way that he liked.
It's too bad he didn't deign to answer the first question.
Also, he seems to have weird ideas that individuals are pure-hearted saints, and corporations are inherently evil and malicious. His smart-phone answer, which seems to indicate he thinks no person would ever, knowingly or accidently, do anything to impact the public cell network, should they be able to write their own radio drivers, but outright states that the corporations will install evil software on users's phones as a matter of course, is the most blatant.
My daughter likes to draw on her ipad, and I was mentioning how 'real' drawing tablets are pressure sensitive and blah blah blah, and I was surprised that apple hadn't done this yet.
D's are enthusiastic children who try things which seem like they should be good ideas, but turns aren't out, and maybe they could have figured that out if they thought about it more.
R's, on the other hand, are malicious and evil. Have you ever heard of a Democratic candidate painting his war-hero opponent as having been a sniveling coward, who didn't adopt a child of color, but instead fathered said child upon a woman outside of wedlock?
I meant 'Victorian age up until the 1960s or 1970s or so.' The days of teachers physically beating students are still easily within living memory.
But it's similar to how there's probably more reported cases of dyslexia now, than a hundred years ago. Hell, when I was a kid, they hadn't invented 'dysgraphia' yet, so I was labelled 'mildly retarded,' then 'sloppy and lazy.'
Great grandpa died of 'consumption.' Grandpa died of 'lung cancer.' Dad died of 'stage four 'impressively concatenated string of latin words' anterior pulmonary metastasized carcinomic blastoma or something.'
Two things. One, now a days, people use 'autistic' or 'ass-burgers' where they used to use 'shy,' 'withdrawn,' 'quirky,' 'spacy,' and all sorts of words. Cousin Melvin wasn't 'rain-man levels of autistic,' he was 'beset by nervous breakdowns' and sent to live in the country.
Two, back in the olden days, you could physically beat mild autism out of a child, much like you could beat left-handedness, fingernail chewing, hair twirling, and other undesirable behavior out of them.
The PSP GO failed because a) there was no way to carry over your existing UMD collection, and b) the PSN simply wasn't there yet.
The Vita, on the other hand, has no real need for a cartridge port. Every game released for Vita is available on PSN.
I own exactly two Vita carts; one came with the Vita, and one I got in a LE package for a series I happen to collect. I also bought the digital version of that game, so I'd never have to juggle carts.
Well, to be fair, what she actually said is "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
Which is true, in the most technical sense; from Little Diomede island, you can see Big Diomede.
Subspace radio was never infinite speed; quite the contrary. Old TOS episodes often mention communication with Starfleet being days or weeks in delay, due to being so far out in the frontier.
Besides, 'fiber' is wireless, just with really really long waveguides. You can get laser point-to-point communications, known as freespace optics. Without the handy waveguide, they're not good for much.
Take photosensitive paper off of wall. Place into light-proof envelope. Open small hatch in wall, which leads to drop box. Place envelope into drop box. Close hatch. Alert the people outside the experimental room that they can now open their hatch, and retrieve the envelope. They then take the envelope to a photographic darkroom and proceed as normal.

Does this mean 'while he happened to be in hospital for something or other, Ashcroft forcefully disagreed with the President's authorization...'

To put it in other terms, polygraph machines are in the same category of device and operating theory as Scientology E-Readers.

Packet radio is to WLAN what telegraph is to the modern Internet.

Exactly. This isn't some sort of brand new, never-thought-of-before 'phone replacement plan,' this is a lease.

I'd not heard of that particular series of books. Thanks for the tip.
This has existed for quite a while now, with the 'Remote' app.
They've somehow managed to do this processing for decades, so I'm sure they have some method.
The short answer is 'no.'
