There are two classes of users of the 2.5GHz band: licensed and unlicensed. Licensed users have priority: if unlicensed users interfere with them they can required that the unlicensed users shut down. Licensed users are also not subject to the same power limits. Unlicensed users such as owners of WiFi devices are allowed to operate at low power levels provided that they do not interfere with licensed users and have no right to complain when they suffer interference.

Um, WiFi devices _are_ unlicensed devices. They use the 2.4GHz band on the condition that they do not interfere with authorized uses of the band and accept any interference with their operation. Baby monitors have just as much right to use the band as do your WiFi devices and both must yield to authorized uses.
Most people who believe that they were struck by lightning were actually only near a lightning strike and got zapped by induction or step potential. The chances of surviving an actual strike are very poor.
On the answering machine I may be able to guess the identity of from the voice. With a transcription I won't have a clue. And when is calling on a tinny cellphone that cuts out frequently from inside a boiler factory all I will get is "Lkjas! Fpie fgjh gpas! Important!".

Now a system that would email me transcriptions with the original message attached would be interesting.

Unless you are selling copies of your program directly to consumers this is irrelevant to you. People who buy Ubuntu CDs directly from Cononical might have a claim against Canonical (which probably could be satisfied by a full refund). They would have no claim against the upstream developers. People who download free copies of Ubuntu would have no claim at all.
As far as I can tell from reading the linked article the adminstrators who formulated this policy did not consult any lawyers about it. The only attorney mentioned is one in private parctice who opined that the college has no legal basis for doing this.
One can, under some circumstances, enforce an unregistered trademark. This is not one of them, though. They would have no case even if SRJC was their registered trademark.

No, it's _all_ the devices, including baby monitors and WiFi devices.

According to the article that makes both of you spambots.
Let's hope not.
Therefor all Open Source software is crap.
Works reading forward, too. You just have to find the right place to start...

Try base 2.
And sure enough, the formula says that the probability of 1 being the first digit of a binary number is 1.
"It's important!"

And no, I don't have caller ID.
Slashdot's packets are going to get to you via 300,000 WiFi hops?
And the crackers and vandals will pee themselves with joy.

Yes, but did it cost Microsoft any *money*?

IMHO the literary material is far more important and interesting.

Meteors. It happened in 1908, not 1408.

Where did you get that from? The $150M is to restart production of the stuff so that they can have all they need in the future.
NASA needs Pu-238. Weapons contain only Pu-239.

I see no evidence they found any.
They've got a lot more emails to send.
The fact is that quite a number of organizations use the initials "SRJC". It's even a registered domain name (and not by Santa Rosa Junior College).

Pu-239 won't work. It has much too long a half-life.

Someone such as you, perhaps? Have at it.
