A by-product of nuclear reactors, depleted uranium (DU) is used not for its low radioactivity but as a cheap, heavy tip that helps armor-piercing shells batter through steel plate.
I thought that depleted uranium ( u235 )was what was left over after you took out all the radioactive kind ( u238 ) , and what you get after you put the u238 in a reactor is plutonium among other things.
Funny you should mention that. I was just here http://freshmeat.net/releases/71619/ "The wondershaper neatly addresses these issues, allowing users of a router with a wondershaper to continue using SSH over a loaded link happily. " wondershaper speeds things up by dropping packets.Well sort of. Maybe you should read it yourself.
No, no, no, no, no! ( that is an odd number of the word no, for those who keep track)
Different people are going to have different results. The same person is going to have different results depending on environment and physiological state.
It seems to me that there is a possibility that a LUG would be a 501(c)(3) .
"The exempt purposes set forth in 501(c)(3) are charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and the prevention of cruelty to children or animals."
I've been involved in a few 501(c)(3) organizations, there was a circus, an amiga users group, and my wife has a documentary film production company that is a 501(c)(3). These all fell under the "educational". I also know of a few theater and performance spaces, movie theaters, music and poetry magazines etc. that are 501(c)(3). Just about anything can be educational, I assume a LUG would be educational, and you might even be scientific, charitable, or literary, but educational would be enough.
What is the benefit of 501(c)(3) status ? There are a lot of 501(c)(3) organizations which can assist other 501(c)(3) orgs with various resources. Many grants , especially in the arts are only awarded through 501(c)(3) umbrella organizations who get a cut of the grant for administering it ( and for dealing with the IRS ). Lots of corporations will donate goods, services , and sometimes money, but only to a 501(c)(3).
Ask anybody in the academic or arts worlds about 501(c)(3) organizations. For better or worse they are a way of life.
Reflection Technology had a display called the ``Private Eye'', and nintendo used somthing like it in the virtualboy. Seemed "durable enough for consumer use" , didn't sell so well though. I wish I had one. This was about ten years ago did Reflection Technology become Microvision ?
Every restaurant worth eating in in NYC has a regular pickup
by city harvest. There may be an Alice Waters influence here. The cheap
restaurants seem less likely to donate. (I think they use the food whether it's
fresh or not) Second
Harvest has a reputation for doing similar work nationally. Politely
suggest an organization like this to your local restaurant, bakery, etc.

Could you clarify whether you are trying to make the inside of the "closet" quiet, or trying to prevent noise
from escaping the closet. They are two very different problems. The solution for preventing noise from
escaping the closet is so straight forward that I can't imagine why you'd need to ask here. ( look into
recording booth construction ). Why you would want to solve the second problem makes no sense at all.
Well it could be worse.
If DNA is thought of as the combinations of the four possible letters, ATCG, representing the nucleotide bases with the names adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G), then it would seem reasonable that you could cover gene sequences with copyright. In the Copyright
Claimed on Telephone Tones story , someone did just that for all possable phone numbers.
To get a copyright the bar is much lower; my father-in-law gets royalties on songs
copied from the dictionary and laundry tickets. http://www.stuie.net/lfrecord.html
At least patents run out in a reasonable length of time , as opposed to
copyright which seems to keep getting extended such that anything copyrighted
after Mickey Mouse will never go into
the public domain.

Sounds like a low pass filter to me. Wouldn't that prevent the signal from being transmitted ?
About five years ago I hacked into the web site of a subsidiary of a certain international business machines company and was able to see
customer info, source code etc. But when I did it I was sitting in their offices with the product manager of a product I was consulting on
watching. The ***** folks were surprised to say the least, and were appreciative. You might try hacking into these peoples web site with
them watching, as an educational exercise.
