Or the plasma trail forming a conductive channel through the atmosphere acting as a crude cavity resonator. The half wavelength of a 25 to 75 MHz signal should be 6 to 2 meters. So I'd start looking for structures in the meteor trail somewhere near these dimensions. A small (several cm) meteor's shock wave could conceivably ionize a column of air of this size.
Something like very low frequency sound (pressure) waves which are beyond human hearing causing the grass to move, creating rustling noises.
The Chelyabinsk meteor created intense enough pressure waves (actually supersonic shock waves) to blow out windows, so I guess rustlng some grass isn't out of the question.
This kind of analysis completely misses politician's motivation to move people where they (the politicians) want them to go.
I mean, it does me no good if I own a shopping mall and I contribute to the city council's campaign funds to get bus routes to my mall. But then some geek number crunchers find out that the people want to shop at my competitor's mall. So they schedule more routes going there instead. I mean, where's the justice?
... to produce such material, doesn't that make them a lobbyist? Don't they have to register as such and divulge that fact when producing any correspondence, advertising copy, or press releases and editorial comment? IANAL, but the regulations applying to the big boys on K Street can be easily circumvented if thy don't also apply to individuals who take a couple of bucks to sign and send a boilerplate letter to government officials. And such a loophole needs to be plugged.
If he wasn't a PE, then whomever the PE was that was managing him and approving his designs is to blame.
There may be no PE approval in the design process. There is an exemption from such a requirement for engineering done in-house for the manufacture of a product.
Some federal agency with automotive oversight may have added an explicit requirment for PE review and signature of designs. But this is unlikely, as PE licensing is under states' jurisdiction.
The feds are working very hard to block any release of this information to the public.
Now are the referring to some records in Florida related to one specific investigation? Or Stingray records in general? Because if its the general case, too late. That info. is out there.
Some unbelievably inept local law enforcement agencies are using this gear and if you know some of the people involved, there are no secrets left.
So now it's forbidden to ask questions out of technical curiosity?
No. Your assertion that a law affecting only higher powered lasers would somehow be 'easier to enforce' is incorrect. Law enforcement cannot determine by mere observation the power class of the laser. So giving immunity for lower powered devices would discourage them from engaging in what might be a wild goose chase. And it would open up an avenue for idiots to run the cops around in circles.
They put the police chopper in the air and scramble a few squad cars. An hour (of the taxpayer's money) later and all they find is some jackass rolling on the ground, laughing, because it was only a 5 mW laser. Think of it this way: We are saving your life. Because instead of going to a nice comfy federal prison, the cops might have just gone Rodney King on your ass.
This is in reply to your recent requst to have all references to you removed from our search results. We would be happy to comply and remove references to this minor embarrasement from your distant past.
So, what? You are asking for an exemption to allow illuminating an aircraft with a Class IIIa laser? Why?
If you run into a movie theater waving a pistol, I'm fine with the sheriff gunning you down. That it actually was a look-alike squirt gun is your problem.
Cable: I can have TV and broadband. But in spite of advertisemsnts for a bundle of three services, telephone is not available in my area. Agreement with the telco.
DSL: Not offered for years. FiOS was coming. When it finally arrived, broadband and telephone was available. But the TV offered was les extensive than what my rabbit ears pick up. Agreement with the cable company.
Wireless: Too slow and intermittent for streaming video or VoIP. Broadband is slow, but useable for simple web pages. I'm not supposed to use VoIP over wireless broadband anyway due to TOS. Agreement with the telco.
So basically all of the providers have an agreement not to compete in each others core businesses. They claim not to be monopolies needing regulation. Because competition. Really? Where?
all he had to do, to be legal, was file a registration statement with the SEC.
Why? He's doing business from Panama. US regulators can FOAD if they think they have the right to regulate the planet. If some US investors bought these securities, then that shoud be between them and the SEC. Not Vorhees.
But if increased anthropogenic CO2 is reducing wave size and preserving the extent of the Antarctic sea ice, that's a good thing. Perhaps we need more CO2 to save more of the ice which is being melted by the warming caused by increased solar output.
Anthropogenic CO2 production may in fact be saving the planet. Until we know otherwise, we would be foolish to curtail it.
On the one hand, there are the issues of passing costs on to consumers. Elimination of many jobs at the margins of being economically viable, etc, etc.
On the other hand, our transit system just got turned down at the voting booth for a major cash infusion via higher priced annual car tabs. And they started howling about eliminating critical services and routes. Now that will be a non-issue. Simply increase the price on the fare box. You make $15 per hour. So put your $5 bill in for the bus ride and shut up.

but the ISS-Above has an advantage or two over those apps that will be revealed only to those who watch the video or read the transcript.
Let me guess: It plays this whenever the ISS passes overhead.
Well Played. I was just thinking AB = Archibald Buttle. Someone in the prosecutor's office might have a wicked sense of humor.

you know what causes ice to melt?
Increased surface area, among other things.
"With this PPH guy, we seem to be stuck in a perpetual game of Leisure Suit Larry."
For a price, the FCC's ISP might be persuaded to unthrottle public access to their web site.
Hey FCC. This is how you and everyone else will be doing business soon if you make the wrong decision. Get used to it.

You mean app signing keys? If TC has been compromised by an insider, or may be in the future, that signature will mean nothing.

I need to check if my license plate is still on the wall at Brick Oven Pizza (locals will get this).
I eagerly await the next Japanese horror movie.
