I suspect that the FCC's Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule, might preempt the state law as "unreasonably increasing the cost of installation, maintenance or use" of "video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes".
Actually, devices running under part 97 (ham) are allowed to cause interference to the part 15 (unlicensed) devices, and the part 15 devices have to live with the interference. Part 15 devices have no protection from other licenced devices (Read the fine print in the manual that came with your part 15 device). The using more power than necessary bit, you are correct about, although for satellite/moon bounce more than 100mw would be useful.
No, this just means that everyone will have to buy a new TV as making HDTV->Analog converters will be illegal. All those 2 million HDTV sets sold will have to be replaced, as they won't support the new DRM system.
It's the Consumers Buying DRM Televisions Popularizing Act.
"blank audio recording medium" means
a recording medium, regardless of its material form, onto which a sound recording may be reproduced,
that is of a kind ordinarily used by individual consumers for that purpose and on which no sounds
have ever been fixed, including...
So, if I read this right, there's a useful loophole for any of the re-recordable media, like CD-RW, flash, hard drives.
Put some sounds on it before you ship it.
Ta da, it's not a blank audio recording medium, hence not covered.
They've got some pre-1923 movies, that are out of copyright now. Look in the classics section. Imagine a service like this, if copyright only lasted 20 years...
There are cars before 1990 with airbags. Dual airbags were standard equipment on the 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo. My insurance company regularly removes my airbag discount, as someone there keeps thinking that a 1988 car couldn't have them.
Alot of the refrigerators in campers run off either AC, the alternator's DC, or propane. With propane you can get cold without any moving parts. See:

I know IBM offers an RF asset tracking tag for Thinkpads... So you can tell when it enters/leaves the building.
The college I went to, had a lab of computers for CAD. They looked to be wonderful cases for the maintenance people, but screwless hard drive mounts are a bad idea in an unsupervised lab. Several times before they added a camera to the room, they'd try to turn on a machine, and fail because the only thing left in the case was the network card. Memory, hard drive, motherboard, video card... All gone.
Here in TW cable land in MI, standard cable service is $35.25, plus about $7 in taxes/fees. Broadcast only cable service is $12. Roadrunner internet access is $44.95 if you have standard cable, $74.95 if you have broadcast only, and $84.95 without cable.
So the way it's priced, it's cheaper to have standard cable and roadrunner, than it is to just have roadrunner.
It's insane.
It's Bert, and you find him at:

..and the bottle water industry does well because some people enjoy drinking water without all the "extras" that regular tap water has in it...
Except you'll find that many of the bottled water companies just bottle their local tap water, or that their water has more "extras" than your tap water...
A mud I used to host, "Timewarp", had a feature that let the admins time-banish people. We had some addicts that'd tell us to use our timeban feature to lock them out for certain lengths of time, so they could get a paper done, or something like that.
Some of them would show up as Guest before their banishment time ran out, and start begging for their fix: "Just let me back on for a few minutes."
We had some people that'd play for 36 hours straight, sleep a few, and then repeat. It got scary at times.
Actually, there are people that play air traffic controllers for fun. See http://www.vatsim.net/ for example.
With the right equipment, you can even talk to the various ATC people as you fly your filed flight plan.
Right now, according to the Who's online list from vatsim, at http://data.satita.net/who.html there are 43 ATC people (some just observers, some instructors and students), and 155 pilots flying.
There are even virtual airlines out there...
I was amazed when I stumbled across some of them a few weeks ago. Search google for "virtual airlines", there's enough of them that they've got their own directory category.
States don't like online gambling because it's competition, and they'll do everything they can to keep it away.
I find it quite silly to see 2 TV ads in a row, the first "Online gambling is evil, our son lost our house and everything", then a Michigan lottery commercial.
I decided to create a/c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe file, and once I did, I started to see the tftp GET Admin.dll part of it. I suspect it tries the others first, and if it finds one that returns OK, then it tries the tftp part.
One example of a "clear channel" station, is WJR (760) here in Detroit MI. They run 50kW 24 hours a day. After dark while travelling, I used to listen to hockey games. I've heard it as far away as Dallas TX. (fluttering a bit with a spanish station, but mostly understandable.)
From what I understand, it's possible with the right conditions to hear these high powered stations from thousands of miles away.
A handy resource for finding out where that station is that you're listening to, is the FCC databases. They're moving stuff into a new system called CDBS, but it's harder to search.
For AM: http://www.fcc.gov/mmb/asd/amq.html
For FM: http://www.fcc.gov/mmb/asd/fmq.html
For TV: http://www.fcc.gov/mmb/vsd/tvq.html
You can see their allowed power (day/night for AM), transmitter location, antenna height...
Lots of neat stuff.

Liquid oxygen is neat stuff. See the old old site:

showing the wonders of lighting grills with it.
Hmm, I wonder which ham bands it'd resonate on.

Convert them to Ogg Vorbis files :)
You just need a 3D input device like a Spaceball.
Something that handles moving and turning...

I'd guess they'd just use ViaVoice Dictation for Linux from IBM:a ti on.html

Or use a windows machine running speech rec software and telnet/ssh/X.
