Normally the transfer from leo to geostationary orbit is handled by rocket motors on the satellite itself. The russian rocket did not appear at this time to have caused the recent Astra failure instead the rocket motor on the satellite itself failed catastrophically (ie blew up).
For example, in California we vote on Propositions (the ONLY state that does)
In Washington state they're called "voter initiatives" or referendums (if they're state proposed).

Well for a start I'd need both UHF & VHF antennas as a minimum - there's still some local channels that are not available over the air right now, oh and that there's only 2 - 4 years of over the air broadcast of analog tv that all seems like a waste of time.
Should I even point out that some of my uhf stations come from the opposite direction to the others so a directonal antenna wouldn't work and an omni is almost useless for tv reception.

Yeah - I have satellite and only need the local channels from cable - yet I would have to subscribe to a package of like 30 channels and rent a box from them in order to get the local channels.
Yes audio cd's do contain error correction information - I believe the standard used is called CIRSC or something like that. Essentially redundant data is recorded in the track so that the player can reconstruct a misread portion of the track. The protection method you are describing here is just one of several used on audio cd's. Some protection methods do involve intentionally corrupting the ECC info on the disc and do therefore have the effect of lowering the fault tolerance of the disc.
This is also exactly the kind of practice which the 9th circuit described as an illegal wiretap operation. It may be worth taking care as to who you tell about these practices.
Yes and no.... if me assume that current wifi antennas represent the most efficient onmidirectornal antenna design available then yes I will agree with your point.
But given that most of these antennas are made for cheapness / compact size I have no doubt that more efficient ones are possible.
well I guess because the dsl signal is only carried from your telcos exchange to your house rather than actually being passed through the call switching system. However 56k modems don't truly pass through the switching system like a normal call either.... they require that the line you're dialling into be an ISDN digital line and only the last mile between you and the telco is over an analog connction. This is why where telcos still have old equipment you can only get 33.6kbs. (or at least that's how it works in europe anyway)
It seems that the agreement basically says that microsoft must stop breaking the law (in certain ways) for a period of 5 years after that apparently they're fully authorized to continue with the illegal behaviour.
The licenses are owned by the business (bluelight online) therefore when the business is sold the licenses are still owned by that business so no transfer has taken place.
the problem with the schools is that microsoft requires that the pc be transferred to the new owner with all original documentation etc. that came with it including cd's, eula, certificate of authenticity and ALSO original sales receipts / invoice showing that the license was actually paid for by the original owner.
Jeez!.... how about you actually go visit some of these places before posting uniformed BS about them. What makes you think the press are any less free in western europe than here... heck many of the media companies are the same... CNN operates out of most european countries as well as the USA for example.
Most people here are confusing government research and government funded research. Private corportations doing government funded reasearch decide how to license it.... in the case of drug companies they don't license it they patent it and make a mint off of taxpayer funded research.
They're talking about private work done by organizations which get government grants to do research. In every other industry that private organization gets to choose the terms the license their work under.... including patenting it and charging everybody else to use it.
It is fine to point out the potential downsides and abuses of the technology but there really are uses for it to improve security! For RMS to pretend otherwise is wrong.
If you believe Paladium is anything other than a microsoft attempt to further it's monopoly and force all other operating systems out of the market they you're on another planet.
The defense claims they will appeal arguing that the state spam law restricts interstate trade. The Washington State supreme court already ruled in another case that the law does no such thing. Their reasoning was that requiring proper contact information and subject lines actually had a positive effect on interstate trade.
acutally although considered obselete degrees kelvin is just as good as kelvins. ?Both are interchangeable. The points on the kelvin scale were originally called degrees it's just that notation practices have changed.
We ask the same thing when you pay to call your next door neighbour's land line.
That's free here. Therefore, when phoning a cell phone (which is within your area code, and is a local exchange) it needs to be free to the caller too.
It's only free if you have unmetered local calls... believe it or not you pay a flat fee for local calls. If you don't use your phone much it's cheaper to have metered local calls.

HEAD tags are optional according to the standards.

ok so if you're doing government funded software research you have to give it away for free ... no GPL no nothing.
If on the other hand you're doing government funded medical research you get to patent the results.
Is there something wrong with this ?
Misread, Misspelled what's the difference ?

The INS is part of the DOJ - no need for collusion there.
Isn't the PowerPC a joint IBM / Motorola development anyway ?
Call me paranoid but how long before camcorder jamming devices are installed on COPS to avoid Rodney King type scandals ?

It's only illegal for a telemarketer from a business you have no existing business relationship with to call you.
Your phone company can bug you as much as they like !
