From personal experience, I can say that the parking brake is the emergency brake.
In my 1986 Samurai, there was a small proportioning valve that split the brake fluid pressure to apply more to the front than the back. When I was exiting a parkway, that valve decided that rather than send the fluid to the brakes, it would just be better to dump it on the ground. Fortunately, I was able to use the manual transmission and the wire-connected emergency/parking brake to stop safely.
Wrong!
You cannot "boost the radio" to get better reception. Reception is a function of the receiver and not one of output power. This is dictated by the gain of the antenna and receiver sensitivity. Depending on the band in use, that would be around -103 dBm TIS (Total Isotropic sensitivity).
Of course, this is an average in free space measured in a sphere. There will certainly be angles at which the performance is poor relative to the peak sensitivity.
True, the phone cannot "boost the radio" to get better reception. But the phone is a bidirectional device and also has a transmitter. The phone will boost the transmission power to maintain contact with the cell tower. That will manifest itself as heat and a decrease in battery life.
Better yet, go take the tracking device and stick it to the underside of a city garbage truck or something. The cops will be sent on a wild goose chase and whoever had the tracking device attached wont get tracked anymore.
I'd actually mail it to the headquarters of a TLA (CIA/NSA/FBI/KGB/GRU/MI5/MI6/ETC) - but first I'd pack it in a box filled with spare electronics, wire, and play-doh. The outside of the box might be liberally doused with Nitrogen (read: detects as explosives) based fertilizer that I use on my lawn. I'd also enclose a letter asking if it belongs to them. The same letter would also ask them to find the owner if is not theirs. Plus I'd have multiple copies of the video of me packing the thing up for shipment.
From TFA2 linked to in TFA:
If Mr. Augustus fails to make a decision on the transfer, it will automatically become approved. ...
The cable license transfer can only be based on four criteria: the company's management, technical and legal experience, as well as its financial capabilities. If Comcast can meet that criteria, the transfer cannot be denied, Mr. Traynor said.
He said Comcast's customer service record does not fall within the standard of measuring the company's management experience.
Neither company has a dejure monopoly. Comcast has already purchased the license.
The (as in one) license implies that that there is a monopoly. Dejeure or defacto is irrelevant.
Not that it matters. The point I was making to the OP in this thread was that there is a monopoly. The only real question is who will have the monopoly, and based on TFA2, it will be Comcast.
Monopoly player 1 (Comcast) is attempting to purchase the monopoly franchise from monopoly player 2 (Charter). Unfortunately for them, the city council has a say in whether or not they can do so.
Well, of course they are not cheap...
It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks, it's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas.
But the cigarette lighter is missing, and the motor is prone to throwing a rod.
Sure iTunes is pretty profitable. Then again, iTunes is a bit more than just a streaming service. As it is, iTunes makes more for the RIAA than it makes for itself.
There are remotely controlled power switches such as:
http://www.aviosys.com/9258st.html
If you use a controller that supports time limits for an outlet being energized, you can then use that outlet to segment your network. You would do that by having that outlet power a switch or hub that would attach the external network and the internal network.
The advantage of that type of setup is that you have access any time that you need it, but you must actively acquire that access. If you don't trust your supplier with access to the switch, you guarantee that they have access only when you grant it to them.
There are really two issues at hand:
1. Tracking the baton.
-and-
2. Getting the information to the singer.
The first issue is easy enough to do with a Kinect or similar device as many people have done.
The second is somewhat more complex in that it requires the recipient to get the position of the baton in real-time in order to detect tempo and direction.
My first thought is a pair of devices (left and right) that the intended recipient has in his/her possession. The devices can output a vibration at a baseline frequency at a baseline amplitude. The devices could be set up to respond to the output of the Kinect in such a way that the left-right position of the baton is tracked by changing the amplitude of the devices. E.g. - as the baton moves to the left of center relative to the at rest position, the amplitude of the left device becomes greater than that of the device on the right. In the same way, frequency can be adjusted up as the the baton moves higher than the at rest position.
Wired devices that are held in the hand would be easiest.
Wouldn't the Supreme Court have to rule for this to apply? Couldn't the DHS just accept this ruling and not appeal, thus keeping the status quo because the border is a national issue and this hasn't been ruled upon by a body with national jurisdiction?
Not necessarily. The ruling by the 9'th circuit applies everywhere that falls under the jurisprudence of the court.
If the DHS appeals, they can probably keep the status quo until the SCOTUS makes a ruling.

is that it also makes warrant canaries illegal.
I found this article about Homan Square pretty quickly.

We're talking about C. You want the zeroeth post.
You have to remember, there are two kinds of people in the world:
1) Those who begin their indexes at 1.
-and-

I can't wait for to be woken at 5 AM when the turbine generator fires up outside my bedroom window ;(
As opposed to being woken at 5 AM by a loud internal combustion engine and the sound of banging trash cans?
Seriously though, there is no reason that the turbine has to be louder than the current engine in the garbage truck.
yeah, let's leave the important decissions to lawyers and economists, and not to scientists and engineers. Now THAT would lead to a great society !
If you examine the makeup of the elected portion of the government of the USA, that's what we have now.
I think this is what you were thinking of.
You beat me to it.
It is a wonderful list of things that I've seen over the years. And I'm sorry to say, a few things that I have done.
Well, of course they are not cheap... It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks, it's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas.

See my reply to the other AC.
If the reasoning changes, then the argument for searching the phone is invalid.
The point was that if the only evidence of someone being a criminal is in their home they might not be a criminal. This simply is not true.
If there is evidence in the home then why shouldn't be police be allowed to search it?

I don't think actually transmitting a sound that is audible would be a great idea. That might interfere with the ability to match pitch.
Bluetooth earrings that transmit a non-audible vibration would be pretty cool though.
