Your example supposes that one is copying into RAM software which one has a legal right to use. (You can't say "Your Honor, Title 17 says it's legal for me to load my pirated copy of Microsoft Office into RAM". When the law says "owner of a copy of a computer program" it means someone who possesses that copy legally). You can only use the software legally under the provisions of the license under which it is offered for sale or rent or whatever. You can only do that if there is a license.
If the only radio active in your car is way out of band then most likely your local oscillator will be running at a frequency too far removed from the frequency band to which these things are sensitive, and they'll probably show you an ad for something they think will sell to people without a car radio or who choose not to listen to their car's radio.
There's no reason that this can't work with either AM or FM or both, as long as the radio being detected adhered to the industry standards of an Intermediate Frequency of 455 kHz for AM and 10.7 mHz for FM. You would need one circuit to detect the local oscillator of AM radios and another to detect the local oscillator of FM radios and a third circuit to detect which of the first two was picking up a signal at any given time, and after that it'd be pretty much the same as an AM snooping only or FM snooping only system.
Far be it from me to say anything nice about the most recent conglomerate to have swallowed the only TV cable provider available around here, but Warner just sold off its record business and music publishing (ASCAP/BMI type fee collecting) assets.
So if you don't own a dish, but you do have a satellite receiver, can you hack it to read smart cards encoded with data having nothing to do with satellite tv subscriptions?
So Cylon is really silon? Was the root word silicon? That might explain a few things.
However, in the paperback novelization (written by Glen A. Larson and Robert Thurston, which I bought used years ago and recently found while looking for something else) of the movie and/or 2 hour pilot that didn't show up until after the tv series, the Cylons are, apparently, organic, although much different from humanoids, having many eyes, upgradeable-by-replacement brains, and a way of thinking that considered concepts such as Good and Evil to be illogical. To quote from the book,
"...What was essential to all Cylons was preserving the natural order of the universe, and they were relentless guardians of that order. For that reason the humans had to be wiped out. Their adventuresome ways and overriding need to explore areas where their mere presence threatened universal order had irretrievably destined them for elimination at Cylon hands...."
Regular ol' television (NTSC) is only 30 frames per second so if they get to see the grandkid in real time at the same quality they'd get if they were watching him\her on VHS it would probably be quite acceptable.
In 1974 I was working at a hi-fi shop and one of those Crown reel to reels, owned by the Marine Corps Band, came in for annual maintenance, and it was probably more armour plated than anything else the Marines were using at the time. Just about took two men and a boy to lift it and this was a transistorized unit, not a tube type. It could probably have been air dropped without a parachute and still worked.
"Closets are made of drywall, also known as sheetrock. Code requires walling material to be fire-resistant. (Of course it will burn. But it's not wood, and it's not kindling.)
Besides, if you put your electronics in a poorly ventilated space and a small fire starts, it'll smolder and then die instead of flaring up."
One of the reasons that drywall (gypsum board) is so heavy is that there's about a gallon of water in every 4 square feet so by the time you can get any more of it than the paper backing to burn the 2 x 4s it's nailed to will have been reduced to charcoal and ash. I wouldn't count on poor ventilation being able to snuff out a fire. Especially since that ventilation will probably still allow enough smoke to escape to attract someone's attention, at which point they'll probably go open said closet and get their eyebrows pretty well singed off when the inrushing air supply reaches the flame.
As long as we're off-topic, have you noticed that in his effort to go from being black to being white Michael Jackson has gone from looking like Diana Ross to looking like Joan Crawford? Although I suppose that's preferable to looking like Broderick Crawford ("Whenever the laws of any state are broken...")
Of course not. With that large an opening they all happen at infrasonic frequencies, i.e. well below the audio spectrum, an octave or two lower than the lowest note on a pipe organ.
"I keep all of my stuff in arbitrarily large bins which mold to the shape of the object I put in them. I keep them at random around the house, but each one has an index card in it which contains the location of the next one, and I keep an index card containing the location of the first. I find this to be, by far, the most logical and simple system to use."
Sounds like Hefty (plastic garbage bags) meets FAT (file allocation table), which sounds like a lot of exercise if you ever have to defragment.
I was thinking that the only benefit to the Home Depot going up near my house was that they'll be a few red lights and crowded intersections closer than Lowe's and maybe carry a few items Lowe's doesn't.
Apparently I have even more to look forward to.:-)

If you think the folks around you are complaining about noise now, wait 'til every dog for miles around goes nuts whenever you touch the keys. :-)

Ernestine Gilbreth Carey has a prior art claim over Martin.

You obviously never saw the pictures on the front and back of the cover of the 1977 album "Streisand Superman".
Now THAT deserves a "+5 Funny"!

Well if you don't lose that carrier when you set it loose in there maybe it can help you find stuff via aerial surveillance.
Of course not. They just buy the politicians wholesale and eliminate the middleman. Much more efficient.
You should submit that question as an "Ask Slashdot".
Well if he's got a 13 incher maybe the girls do come around :-)
Nice to see I'm not the only Rumpole fan around here.

It occurred to me recently to wonder why no one (to my knowledge)ever brought out an audio cassette deck designed to fit in a 5.25" bay.
