Although they would be tested as a system, the rules for each piece would still be different.
For example, in my Wayne-Dalton system, the remote transmitter has its own FCC ID: KJ8HHT-3720. You can see from the block diagram on the FCC site that it only includes the transmitter, not the receiver.
It would be difficult to argue that the receiver isn't a digital device - anything with pulses over 9000 per second, and "using digital techniques" qualifies - how do you think it decodes the transmitter key codes? Just because it has a motor drive doesn't mean it's not a digital system.
That's not a meeting, that's actual work! At least, if you define a meeting as "talking about work" - e.g. planning, getting ideas, etc. rather than actually doing work.
If you've got a 300 page document to review, then everyone involves needs to sit down at a work area - which may be a conference room with chairs, etc.
They're talking about transistors, not entire processors. High speed transistors are needed for the RF front-end, where analog signals up to 1 GHz or so are encountered. These signals require devices that can switch at speeds significantly faster than the signal frequency.

I'm not sure that's possible - the pumps are all electronic, and require you to swipe a card (e.g. Amex, Costo Cash card, etc.) before pumping begings. So basically you can't even pump the gas until you've given them a means to bill you.
I don't know about hotels, but Costo won't take cash when buying gasoline:
Costo membership form - check the fine print at the bottom: "Cash and checks are not accepted at Costo Gas Stations".
Or, visit one and look at the pump for the same message....
Those are patent applications (i.e. not granted yet), not actual patents. Of course, given the US patent office, there's no reason to think they won't be granted (eventually).
The Celsius zero is just as arbitrary as the Fahrenheit zero. The only true "zero" is absolute zero, at -273C or -459F. Using either scale, the "percentage reduction" is around 2.7%, for what it's worth. It shouldn't matter what scale you use when talking about percentages, assuming you use the true zero. If an object becomes 10% lighter, it doesn't matter whether you use pounds or kilograms, does it?
Of course, you use percentages even if it doesn't make sense. (78-64)/78 is around "18%", but isn't a very meaningful number. Switching to Celsius doesn't help here, but Kelvin (or Rankine for those Fahrenheit fans) does.
Actually cash is not always faster than a credit card. For example, I use a credit card at McDonalds all the time (I get 1% cash back with it). The first drive-up window guy just swipes the card and gives it back to me - no waiting for me to get out the cash, or for him to count it or make change. They don't make you wait for the credit card approval - you just immediately drive to the next window and wait for your food. Presumably they authorize the transaction while you wait at the next window, but I've not seen any actual indication that they do that.
In this case, credit cards are faster and easier than cash.
PS - credit cards are generally faster than cash at gas stations, too, where you pay at the pump. I suppose you could make the pumps accept cash, but I don't see how that would be faster than credit cards.
Code Composer was known "affectionately" as Code DeComposer by our developers when we were using it a while back (several years ago). Hopefully it's improved since then!
It doesn't know. I've stayed at a Ritz Carlton with that kind of mini-bar. I routinely take the larger bottles out of the mini-bar, and replace them with my own drinks to keep them cold, then when I'm done put the old drinks back in. (Of course there is never an extra cubic inch of space to start with, so you have to take something out to put something in). I ended up being charged for them of course. Later, I just moved things around in the fridge and still got charged. On top of that, the items I "consumed" weren't replaced, so that dubious benefit didn't even occur.
They removed all the bogus charges- I bet they got that complaint a lot.

Scroll down to defect #11415 - apparantly they used a macro to setup memory, but it doesn't correctly unused interupt vector addresses to a known state. If one of those interupts hits, the code will jump to a random location.
The larger issue he has is that the use of that macro implies that the software was not developed from an already approved codebase (approved in the sense that it's undergone all the testing this type of application calls for), yet it was signed off that it had.
He also has some issues with the RTOS scheduler.
As others have pointed out, this risk is massively overblown. That said, if you're truly paranoid, here you go:

The small transmitter in your car isn't an "unintentinal radiator", but the receiver in the garage is, and that's where the inteference is happening.

Wrong frequency band, though,
11 GHz chip != 11 GHz processor. They're mainly talking about analog chips - i.e. op-amps, oscillators, high speed muxes, etc. Chips like these: http://www.maxim-ic.com/solutions/cellular_handset s/index.mvp?pl_pk=14

Actually magnetic induction decreases with the cube of the distance, not square.
