I'm not with the self-elected grammar police.

Now pull over to the side of the keyboard so I can write the ticket for not correctly expressing a possessive phrase.
Set the "time" aspect of your tachyon generator to "eon". Military generators have it; you probably are only familiar with the household generators (maximum time aspect of "tacham", only useful to make butter for your toast as soft as if it has been on the table all morning) or commercial generators (maximum setting of "tachmillenium", used for updating all poorly-maintained equipment).
If they're looking for planets to wipe out, in addition to cruising around stealthily they also would set up primitive beacons.
It's called a trap.
Standard technique when trying to catch something threatening yet chewy with a crunchy center.

"ultrasonic" refers to sound with a frequency which is too high to hear. Above 10,000-15,000 cycles per second. Old TV remote controls used it, and some motion detectors use it. Some fiction uses powerful ultrasonics as a weapon.
"...skyscrapers... The more scatterers between the transmitters and receivers, the more channels that are available."
Of course one has to wait for all the glass to finish falling out of the buildings before your ultrasonic pathways are stable enough to be used.
"...all cellphones can operate in vibrate-mode only if in any public place."
Don't need a law.
But perhaps there could be an infrared and Bluetooth code which tells cell phones "public space - vibrate-only mode". Another code which says "safety zone - ring phone and turn off, or change to pager-only mode".
Timeouts would exist on the modes, of course...I'd particularly like theaters with timeouts linked to show ending time, so the show is protected and phones will unlock quickly even if I don't leave through the lobby (which should require passing through a short-timer zone which would reset phones of people who leave early).
You can't see in through your windows, can you? They might even resemble mirrors. It's as if you're inside a building wrapped in iron foil (aluminum doesn't block radio waves as well as iron). Look up "Leyden Jar" for details of how this works.
Your windows are covered with reflective material which contains metals. This was done to reduce ultraviolet and infrared (heat) coming in. Ultraviolet damages colors (are you in a museum?). Blocking infrared reduces air conditioning load in the summer and heating needs in the winter (it's also harder for heat to leak out of building).
I've worked in buildings like that. Adding a directional antenna to my cell phone helps. If the building owner wants cell phone signals in, a simple thing to try is a passive repeater: an antenna outside the building connected to one inside the building. If the glass is a single thickness, one could try a unit intended for a car: two antennas stuck to the glass, with an inductive link between them -- particularly if the reflective coating is on the surface of the glass and can be scraped off the little square needed for the mounting. There might be some small panes of simpler glass or plexiglass around the entrance or skylights, or the maintenance staff might know of plastic covers or vents which could be used as installation points. (I describe the glass as I do because many windows have two panes of glass, and the reflective coating might be inside the sandwich)
"Sorry for jerking like that, but for some reason I do that whenever a cell phone rings and I have no idea why. For some reason that started after dictating my mail replies to my secretary during The Two Towers. Funny that I can't remember anything before the nurse woke me the next day."
"Probably because it's the only information density "per square cubit" ever reported."
"75 grains [of seed] to a square cubit"
It is also widely noted that a square cubit is the space occupied by one person (put right fingertips on left shoulder and see that you're about one cubit wide).
The Wittig Technologies Multiscope mentions LAN test ability. The low-end member of this family, the osziFOX, does have a Linux interface -- I don't know what kind of apps fit the Multiscopes. Serial port...that can run through PCMCIA.
No need to reinvent the wheel. You're focusing on school administrative software. You can use existing open software for libraries. Koha or others.
Barcode interfaces are a minor addition to the user interface. Too bad X11 doesn't provide cleaner alternative input interfaces (there were some removed before a recent release...).
"With everyone looking out for security, why don't I feel all warm and fuzzy inside?"
Do you have Feeling Right Management inside?
Actually, the article does not mention DRM. They're just adding key and encryption hardware.
The key storage apparently will not be available to applications, as if it's just an extension to the existing "system/application" modes -- the same hardware which helps enforces that user processes can not affect the rest of the system.
The encryption engine is mentioned as being a replacement for software, as if it's going to be an additional peripheral. For DRM it would have to somehow be mandatory for a certain device type...with the decrypted data magically never being available for system manipulation, unlike VPN and the other given examples.
I've been doing this for awhile. How about 20-50 miles with bridging and repeating capability to support 1000 users - Now that is news!
Put up a hit graph, tell us the URL, and we'll see how interesting your setup is... Oh, and mention whether the web site is linked through the wireless link.
FitCentric has been making Internet racing products since 1996.
CSA/ESSCO made an interface device with 5 PC games quite some time ago. It was a simple photoeye/reflector beam device with two button pads to strap to handlebars. It could be used with any equipment by aiming the light beam at any moving part, as the rate of pulses was all that was was needed for controlling the speed.
Oh, I see there is one on eBay now.
Remember, he wants to patent computer software.
He obviously wants to study computer law at Harvard. Of course, computer programs do exactly what you tell them to do while computer law only rarely does so.

Whatever the chalk marks look like they'll be on the sailboats which have an unusual scattering of Pringles cans about the deck.
No problem, that "bridge" is just a decoy. The ship was actually being operated from the captain's gig, five miles back.

It is also widely noted that a square cubit is the space occupied by one person (put right fingertips on left shoulder and see that you're about one cubit wide).
This is certainly the greatest non-DNA information density per square cubit ever reported.

"Line-of-site" is what the surveyors drew along an edge of a pyramid which was to be built.

Irish Patent Office only finds 4 patents for inventor "adnan", and none of them seem related.
