Elrond is the elf from the first episode, the one who called the meeting.
Narsil is the name of the broken sword that you saw in the first movie. It was used to hack the ring from Sauron's finger in the war 3000 years earlier.
That was the disaster override - all phone bandwidth was being reserved for priority traffic involved with the crash recovery effort on the ground. (I'll bet you didn't know that cell phones had priority levels, did you? Guess what priority your cell phone is?)
Antennas do not have sharp cutoffs on their radiation pattern. They can still receive signals from off-axis transmitters, though the signal will be attenuated.
Airlines are not afraid of cellphones -- the FCC is. Cellphones work because they can hit a handful of cells, which decide between them which cell to use to handle the phone's traffic. A cellphone in the air can hit dozens (over Los Angeles, hundreds) of cells at once, causing the cell system to melt down.
Take a look at this legal exchange between the guys who came up with Ulysses for Dummies and IDG Books, the publishers of the "...for Dummies" series. It can be found at http://www.bway.net/~hunger/litigation.html -- the Penny Arcade folks could take some pointers on how to tell American Greetings to take a flying leap.

If the patent was meant to prevent fraud, as the author suggests, why wouldn't they just make the chip display a message that it was being overclocked, upon boot-up perhaps...
Because then the unscrupulous would just hack that message out of the BIOS.
The question is can you do to anyone what was done to the spammer. Not whether or not he was a spammer.
No, but we can do to the spammer what he did to us -- opt us into mailings that we did not request. One side or the other folks, no sitting in the middle.
As much as you might wish otherwise, the world is not black and white.
even though spamassassin is free, the costs are still there. you still have to pay for the bandwidth eaten up by the e-mail as it arrives at the spamassassin filter machine. Further you still have to pay for the machine.
it's not the bandwidth on the satellite that is an issue here. Rather, it is the uplink bandwidth available to the person on the ground. reasonable TV quality video requires 256 to 384 K. bps. In order to achieve that, you need a large antenna or some kind of a small dish. logistical constraints may prevent you from carrying that much hardware into the field. videophones are much smaller and lower power, therefore they have a much harder time getting respectable data rates up to the satellite.
A Cauchy surface is actually a boundary in space-time that separates a non-time-travel part of the universe from a time-travel-enabled part of the universe. It's basically defined by the light-travel cone that originates from the event that spawns a time machine. The equations of General Relativity allow for time machines, but the reach of a time machine cannot exceed the speed of light, Example: We might invent a time machine on Earth. However, Alpha Centauri would not be reachable by time travel for 4.3 years since it takes light 4.3 years to reach from here to there. Points inside that cone could be reached more than once by use of a time machine, therefore they are inside the Cauchy surface. Another implication is that once a time machine is invented, you could travel into the past, but not to a time prior to the invention of the machine.
How this plays into my comment is that the person I replied to was implying that as soon as a time machine becomes available, the entire universe, including it's entire past history, could be reached by it. According to Cauchy's analysis of General Relativity, this is not true.
Debka? You know this publication has somewhat of a reputation of being on the fringe side, don't you?
Oh, sure. But you filter out the over-the-top hysteria and add it to the mix, same as any other news source. (They were right about the model planes - check the CNN reports about the past few day's worth of fun and games in Gaza. It seems that some Palistinians blew themselves up while working on something referred to as a "drone".)

Gordon Moore heaves a sigh of relief.
Take a look at their "Industry Terms" page = http://www.loralskynet.com/tech_resources/glos_us. asp.html
What's up with the first entry? Also, there's an entry for "hacker".
India.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but the extended version of Two Towers hasn't been released yet, right?
80% of Americans believe they are above-average drivers.
What, so you can drive off the road because you're watching the monitor instead of out the windshield? And we thought cell phones were bad.
And increasingly, they are on copy-protected or DRM-ed media.
Archiving a show for later viewing is not "rebroadcast". The Supreme Court said so.

i386 and 8 meg? Poser. 640K was more RAM than anybody would ever need.

you are watching videophones runing at 56 K.
Don't these reporters have access to a satellite uplink?
that was a satellite uplink, via a satellite phone.
And if not, why can't they get enough bandwidth over a decent ISDN connection?
antenna size and power budget.
