Most bands are commercial failures, too, so the few successful acts have to be priced high enough to cover the money lost on the others.
Maybe. this article tells a different story about most bands and recording contracts. Pretty depressing actually, if true. The arrangement appears, shall we say, slanted very heavily toward the label?
digital modulation, being much closer to a square wave than an analog voice signal, is much richer in HARMONICS than said analog signal.
All modulation is analog modulation. There is nothing intrinsic about data signals that makes them wider bandwidth than voice signals. Its all a question of information bandwidth and encoding efficiency (Shannon).
Money sure, but not because of a profit motive - its fear of litigation. Use what ever electronic device you want on your own private plane. You might not care that a cell phone causes you a minor annoyance occasionally. However, when you start hauling 300 lawyer-friendly customers around, such minor annoyances become another matter. In the event of an accident they could be considered an avoidable cause of what the FAA calls "increased pilot workload", and that is a safety concern for the FAA.
John Leo, in US News and World Report, wrote in an article about Postmodernism, "A professor once wrote this about Tonya Harding's attack on Nancy Kerrigan: 'This melodrama parsed the transgressive hybridity of unnarrativized representative bodies back into recognizable heterovisual codes.' Possible English translation: Maybe Tonya had Nancy's leg smashed because she was attracted to her. If so the media wouldn't tell. The professor was writing in 'pomobabble' - the jargon of postmodernism'..."
Maybe they are determining relative delay between transmitters and a receiver by correlating the received signal against the spreading sequence. IIRC, the resolution of such a method is related to the chip rate (11 Mchips/sec?).
Dunno if it can be done w/o special hardware though.

The Postmodernism Generator Leo cites in the article (create your own Postmodern article!) has been moved.
