I'm surprised Utah wants high-speed access to a medium exploding with adult content
You may have hit the issue right on the nose there...who wants to take bets that the access will be 'cleaned'? That's why the government is doing it...so they can save the trouble of convincing the private industry to provide the cleaning.
Skiing on the moon would be no fun at all....no wind blowing in your face, a very slow speed...perhaps the only enjoyable thing would be ski jumps with REALLY long slopes to build up speed, then jump over a canyon or something.
Ican you put extra info for DRM into the track itself without confusing pure CD players?
Not if your intention is to confuse the computer totally. Since the.wav format is a direct copy of the digital information on the CD, as long as the cd is rip-able, a computer can copy it. And if the audio can be played perfectly on a pure audio CD player, it can be played perfectly via the.wav format.
There might, however, be an as-yet-undiscovered weakness in the popular compression formats that could be exploited. And this wouldn't be so much DRM info, but more a way to make ripped and compressed songs slightly annoying to listen to.
So does this system differentiate between copyrighted files and public domain, or does it kick you off for sharing ANY files? Or does it just kick you off for running a certain list of p2p programs? What about Windows file and printer sharing? Do they control only what goes between the school and the outside world, or are they also concerned with traffic local to the university?
The electronics turn electrical energy into heat, and the fact that a large part of the satellite will be trying to collect energy (ie solar panels) means that there will be heat. Any heated object will give off emissions that show up as noise in the IR spectrum. It is actually rather difficult to cool objects in space as there is no matter to transfer the heat to...the energy must be radiated. So refrigeration is needs to pull the heat away from the IR detectors to radiators, thus minimizing the noise and improving imaging capabilites.
Transmission lines are typically ~10k-100kV AC. The substation drops that down to ~1kV for distribution, and the local transformers drop that to 220 into houses.
The primary reasons for using AC rather than DC is that transformers are cheaper and more efficient for AC. As a bonus, AC is actually safer if you get shocked by it, as your muscles aren't locked into a single direction...they have a chance to relax and let you disengange contact.
No, I don't think they would have everyone supplying DC. The best idea I can come up with is for there to be one synchronizing signal on the lines, and the distributed sources have to match phase with that...but what if someone's gets out of phase? What if someone tries to jam that signal?
Are people sharing the hydrogen, or just the electrical energy? If it's hydrogen, who's going to install the infrastructure? If it's electrical, how will the phases of the 20 gazillion AC sources be matched so they don't all cancel each other out?
Nice intentions, but the worm still increases network traffic looking for new machines to fix. So there are some harmful effects, though in this case I think the benefits outweigh the costs.
How much power would it take to fry the RFID tags? I doubt they could survive a couple of seconds in a microwave oven. Simply nuke your clothes right after you buy them, and you'll be free.

what in the world does this have to do with patent infringement again?

That doesn't matter, as if you have the DVD, it has already been commercially released, and this new law doesn't apply.

That would require one hell of a subwoofer.
SCO seems to be missing from the list, there.
