While it may be some comfort that ones encrypted data gets to stay secret, and this might be enough for many, I'm on the side of the fence where I'd want to tasar the theif, in the neck, in the guts, in the arm pits, in the groin, in the mouth, and so on and so forth. Even if it is just a crappy old work laptop.
Maybe there's some way to rig it up so that the phone call can activate a bit of a hot power button, push it and it triggers the zapping goodness.
It takes a special breed of individual to get involved in politics for the long haul - now I'm not saying politicians aren't smart, some of them are exceedingly so in their own ways, but really, it's a job that requires no formal qualifications at all, and a good sized chunk of people involved fit that very definition. Some fit my own personal view of utterly crazy and mentally deficient (Look at how many crazies Pauline Hanson has quietly fended off and you'll get the idea, and she's generally thought of as being way 'out there' herself. No offence intended to the good lady.)
There really isn't too much room for space unless it comes with some bargaining power that can be used and abused by the transients passing through Canberra for their elected terms.
The theory, in Australia at least, is this: (With some background info)
I first heard about these kinds of devices in 1997. (From a tin foil hat kind of person) At the time they were said to be the size of a regular briefcase and were used largely in airports or places where interesting people might be seen nearby. The reason for their use was simply to ID a specific handset of interest, tie it to an individual, then do the actual grunt work via all the little black (beige really) boxes installed at various exchanges around the country.
So how does this legally work? Backing up a few years earlier than this, a law was enacted (somewhere around 1994/95) that allowed the "government" to do 'domestic non communications signals' - in human speak this amounted to a free for all on in country transmissions that don't convey 'communications' intended to be understood or received by a person, or transmissions that are of a one way nature - things like beacons, RADAR, navigational aids, and, conveniently enough, your regular old mark 1 spoofed hand held cell tower. The astute reader will correctly surmise the wide ranging scope of such a law. One can easily envision situations where traffic analysis is of infinitely more value than any intelligible message content.
My guess is that similar legal word plays exist in the US.
Sonic booms produced by aircraft flying supersonic at altitudes of less than 100 feet, creating between 20 and 144 pounds overpressure, have been experienced by humans without injury.
Damage to eardrums can be expected when overpressures reach 720 pounds. Overpressures of 2160 pounds would have to be generated to produce lung damage.
So, at 1000 feet, pretty much sweet FA is going to happen (where FA = Fuck All)
A house of extremely dubious quality might result in a little damage when overpressure reaches somewhere between 10 and 15 pounds, so your average house, of normal quality, is probably not going to sustain any damage at all. The whole windows breaking thing is almost entirely a myth for the types of supersonic aircraft you would ever encounter from regular suburbia through to the arse end of nowhere in the backwoods.
Submarines rarely make use of 'active' sonar, that defeats their purpose. (I was Navy so I have some professional background here) You might want to study sonar (and RADAR for interest) a bit more if you think 'more power' is the solution to better 'vision' under water. It ain't so good sir.
Having never had a sense of smell myself, at all, and not knowing that body odour actually even existed until I hit about 20 years of age, I'm going to have to put this down to the latter. People are far more likely to say nothing than to speak up. This includes family, close friends, acquaintances, and total strangers.
Sometimes I forget to slap on deodorant so I'll quite literally ask anyone close by if I smell bad. Trust me, nobody wants to answer that question, let alone have someone ask it. It's a loaded question in social terms. Even after letting them know my olfactory system is completely dead in the water they still stall and look confused. People simply have a hard time believing life could exist without smell, you lose your arm and it's obvious to the world, you lose your sight and this is pretty clear to nearby observers that this is the case, but smell. It's invisible.
On the dog side, I don't like them either, seems they all like me though, maybe it's body language they are picking up on.
Some really do last a lifetime, I have a non-compete agreement in my secret 3 letter agency clause that says: "We, as in a bunch of guys with guns and the keys to all the jails and stuff, will come get you no matter where you are in the world if you don't keep your mouth shut about our government secrets until you die. If you work for someone else in the trade we might even hang you until you are dead, then put you in jail for 322 years just to make sure"

My choices were quite limited after resigning. People don't want to employ former spies. The best I could manage were a few low paying industrial espionage gigs. So I put ~disgruntled former spy~ in the resume and my troubles went away overnight.
If you mean hazard lights, then just say 'hazard lights' and we will know what you are talking about, no need for the esoteric corporate buzz words.
I'm Australian living in Manila, it's not often you get above 20mph in this city. Even at the few times you can, since the locals have absolutely no concept of or ability to build a flat surface, it's not really going to happen anyway. I'd say it'd be a sure thing here.
That would be Morse code I guess. Tons of programs that will do this. Getting to the lofty heights of 25 words per minute such that your head actually does the conversion from sound to letters without any conscious effort will easily take 6 months to a year of solid 8 hour days working at it. (I spent 44 weeks in the military mostly doing just this, the only enjoyable part was the cheap beer) If you can touch type, this whole proposition becomes rather useless since it is trivially simple to type faster than you could resolve the letters as audio.
And if you spend a little longer in country than your rubber stamped 21 day visa, you'll see that there actually is a whole load of order in what you appear to believe is chaotic. Some places it's ok to have no queue (drug store) because the checkout chick keeps a tab on when you arrived, others like the supermarket have that same unwritten rule as everywhere else in the world, "get to the back of the queue or I'll friggin' taser your neck retard" - some places even set up little cattle fences so that you can't skip the queue, other places your position is determined by how much you pay the guard. Even queues can have a price.
If you upset the social norms, you're absolutely going to be on the raw end of a tongue clicking lecture the likes of which you'll have never heard! Tut tut tut.
No, evolution has, in the case of men for the most part, wired us up with a desire to bonk anything with boobs, passing on Genes is something we hope hasn't happened come morning.
It covers the US broadcast television spectrum, so several hundred megahertz potentially - VHF through UHF. There's a whole boat load of stuff in there that is not 'television' so it's understandable a lot of people are uneasy about it.
That would be why the equipment checks to see if anything is radiating before it arcs up its own transmitter good sir. While this might not fly in a whole range of countries for what ever reason, it seems ok to me given that the television spectrum isn't exactly a hotbed for channels coming and going. It's more or less exactly the same day in, day out.
What on earth could be wrong with it anyway? So you have 50MHz of spectrum doing absolutely nothing because the license owner is making out with untold millions by spoon feeding their wares over existing stations - who cares if they hold the license, if they aren't going to actually use the spectrum then it should be open for everyone. Squatting on the spectrum is just as bad as squatting domains or houses.
Short of an electron scanning microscope, the only way to do it is to hook an oscilloscope directly on to the test points within the drive itself and measure signal levels. This will allow you to measure one or both of: Degradation of the laser optics, degradation of the media. It's anyones guess as to which is which:-)
To make things a little more accurate, you should use several drives to test the media. The drives could benefit from being locked away until such a time as they are needed to repeat the tests. Mix in a few new drives when you do actually make your tests in future as well.
You bend fiber just right and you can sense and demodulate the data stream. Unfortunately the act of doing this can also be detected since it causes signal degradation. This doesn't imply that detection is always going to happen though.
By all accounts he was in a slight climb under power at the time of impact, this doesn't bode well with icing. I have a pilots licence myself (since around 1990) so I know the drill on medical certificates and have experienced icing both of wings and carb - carb heat is just a lever away for any plane suffering that problem, wing icing is a little more problematic but solved (mitigated) often with just a change in altitude or diverting somewhere without visible cloud or rain.
I used to belt around Canberra (Australia) in a decathlon doing aerobatics. Out toward lake George mostly. Fun times. Mostly somewhere between 2,500 and 7,000 feet. Tons of power. Not too hard to peg the meter at 4G for a while:-)
Your school set up websense for a reason, if you don't like this then pony up the cash and buy your own line, or change school. Seems to me that the schools IT infrastructure is working exactly as it should. Kudos to them, minus a million points to you for whining like the typical spoon fed apathetic Australian. (I'm Australian, so I can say this)
I don't care what your story is, you want unfettered internet, then pay for it like everyone else.
Linksys with dd-wrt: Time: 10:30:29 up 51 days, 19:53, load average: 0.28, 0.06, 0.02 (power went out)
It gets hammered with bittorrent on a regular basis. You can change the "maximum ports" to a higher value so you don't have the issue you describe.
ZyXel, definitely a far better feature set, though I have a pile of that stuff here gathering dust purely because it resets too often. Once every couple of months is still annoying.
I suspect we will never know why his aircraft belted in to the side of the mountain in clear air - cloud cover was apparently much higher at the time, so visibility was good.
I can well imagine he was incapacitated or dead before impact - the other possibility is suicide I guess.
I guess all the poor kids were using the Aquarius from Mattel, or any one of several other competing systems all based on the Zilog Z80 processor. This was the first time I came in contact with anything from "Microsoft"

What about my damned WiFi signal! Are they using regular microwave frequencies or, you know, 2.4GHz to cut down on license costs.
