Buffnet wasn't prosecuted for having USENET servers, they were prosecuted for not blocking the content after having been informed of its existence.
BuffNet was charged with a misdemeanor for facilitating child pornography because its servers allowed access to a bulletin board containing illegal pornographic images. A two-year investigation found that the ISP failed to take action after they were notified of the illegal activity. In February, 2001, the company pleaded guilty and a judge ordered BuffNet to pay a $5,000 fine, according to a published report.
The law to which you link provides for this defense with a reference to Title 18 Part I Chapter 119 Section 2518 (7). That allows for warrantless eavesdropping only when "an emergency situation exists," and requires that a court order must be presented within 48 hours of the start of interception. If the court order is not presented, the intercepted material is considered to have been obtained illegally and within 90 days the subject(s) of the eavesdropping must be notified that their communications were intercepted. (IANAL)
AFAIK, court orders were never obtained for these cases and the subjects were not notified of the interceptions.

The Center for Air Transportation Research, of which Donahue is the director, has a long list of free, online publications here on topics related to this book.
The palimpsest includes writings from authors other than Archimedes, though he is by far the best-represented.
Another book they used, we now know, contained works by the 4th century B.C. Attic Orator Hyperides. Prior to the discovery of the Hyperides text in the manuscript, this orator was only known from papyrus fragments and from quotations of his work by other authors. The Palimpsest, however, contains 10 pages of Hyperides text.
Yet further books were used to make up the Palimpsest. Six folios come fron a Neoplatonic philosophical text that has yet to be identified; four folios come from a liturgical book, and twelfve further pages come from two different books, the text of which has yet to be deciphered.
Named for the 1968 case, Terry v. Ohio, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the police have the right to question and frisk (for weapons, not other items) anyone whom they have a "reasonable suspicion" (as opposed to "probable cause") has been involved in criminal activity.
The Flynn Effect is the reason why IQ tests are routinely recalibrated. Basically, information and ways of thinking that start out the purview of an elite few eventually become the norm for the average individual in a sort of intellectual trickle-down.
They showed that the second of the three blacked-out sections of the released portion of the PDB was most likely "Egyptian."
In this particular case, the section was relatively short, so it wasn't tough to come up with a possible word list, but I wonder how well they'll do on the other sections, which are longer and therefore more likely to be multiple words. In the end, they rely on context to decide which of the possible strings is most likely the correct, which even in this case allowed for some close possiblities. A member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad would probably be most likely to interact with a member of an Egyptian service, but could just as well have spoken to a member of an unofficial (e.g., news) service.
The Howard Stern Show is syndicated by Infinity Broadcasting, a subsidiary of Viacom. Clear Channel dropped the show from the six of their stations that carried it before any increase in the fine structure. It was done in an effort to suck up to the feds, as the Chairman(?) of Clear Channel was to appear before Congress the following day.

Prototype sirens were constructed and fitted to emergency vehicles. The "broad band" noise they emitted resembled the sound of television interference. On its own, the new noise would be unfamiliar, so it was interspersed with traditional wailing sirens.
ThisBBC article reproduced at Sound Alert (the company 'creating' the sound) suggests that the sound may be akin to rustling leaves.
My guess, combining those sources: the sound of rustling televisions.

I saw the lead author, George Donahue, give a lecture (Air Transportation: A Tale of Prisoners, Sheep and Autocrats) on his research last year. He's a very engaging speaker; I hope he's an equally good writer.

That probably refers to people making at least $27.63/hour who do not work enough hours/week to break $455.
