IIRC, the theoretical minimum to-the-satellite-and-back latency for a geo-stat satellite is about 240ms, so double that for getting there-and-back from an earthly server, not even counting other normal delays, so tack on about another 100ms to that.
With tweaks, VOIP should work fine, though you might want to treat it more like radio than telephone.
24. (1) Anyone whose rights or freedoms, as guaranteed by this Charter, have been infringed or denied may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances.
(2) Where, in proceedings under subsection (1), a court concludes that evidence was obtained in a manner that infringed or denied any rights or freedoms guaranteed by this Charter, the evidence shall be excluded if it is established that, having regard to all the circumstances, the admission of it in the proceedings would bring the administration of justice into disrepute.
The opposite of the bolded part applies to the admission of such evidence. If to exclude the evidence would bring the administration of justice into disrepute (e.g. A "got off on a technicality" situation.), it can (at the judge's discussion) be admitted.
It's been a few years since that high school law class, but I think I'm remembering this right. Any Canadian lawyers here feel free to correct me if I'm getting this wrong.
Decade is relative. These applications require pretty specialized components, radiation hardening, for instance, which is a factor at high altitudes, and as far as I understand, radiation hardening gets profoundly more difficult and expensive with smaller feature sizes (used in today's processors).
For replacement, key questions need to be answered such as "What exactly do we need?", "How long will it take to get it?", "How much will that cost?", and "What do we do until we get it?".
though I admit, the B-2 is only particularly useful in the opening round. the B-52 is a better tool for sustained action once you get rid of anything that could shoot it down.
aside from the fact that we already spent that money roughly a decade ago and we already have these planes, so why not use them rather than throwing more money down that "wasteful hole" to develop and make a bunch of new planes?
They're quite good at accurately dropping lots (up to 80) of little (mk-82 500lb) bombs too. Can even drop them one at a time, so you could hit 80 targets in one run. I'd say that's fairly good at other missions, though it obviously requires good people on the ground to direct where to hit.
Unfortunately the Tesla's engine consumes about two hundred kilowatts.
that's the PEAK running-at-red-line power. at normal speeds, it's significantly less, into the single-digit KW, abou 5KW @ 65mph, IIRC, and a bit less at lower speeds.
I can find a 5500W portable diesel generator without much trouble or a 15KW trailer-mounted generator. The latter is not exactly cheap at $11,000, but if you've got money to buy one of these cars, that much shouldn't be a problem.
I guess that depends how you define expensive. I see prices for LN from $0.50 to $3 per gallon depending on location, though I have no idea how much is used for this kind of thing.
Presumably less than they were losing on thermal losses before, though I can't find any decent numbers, nor do i have enough details (length, gauge, current) to calculate a guesstimate.
Nuclear missile launch codes are also -- technically -- public property, yet I am not sure it'd be a good idea to release that in the public domain.
Why not? I would think they'd be pretty useless without the rest of the stuff in the football and clearance through whatever other security protocols there are.
RAID-5/6 AND good old-fashioned backups, preferably with off-site backups.
Backups are not a replacement for a hot spare (backups take time (often lots of it) to restore) and RAID is not a replacement for larger catastrophic failure (other hardware failure, power surge, fire, hurricane, etc.) or those Oh-fuck-I-deleted-the-wrong-file! moments.
I heartily second that. Todd McCaffrey (her son) is also taking up the torch and continuing the series, and from what I've seen so far, he's doing a pretty good job of it.
Though I'd catagorize the mid-timeline books (the first 2 books of the original trillogy and others set slightly before then.) more as fantasy than sci-fi.
Hey, guess what... if a partner in a two-way correspondence chooses to share details of that correspondence, that's their choice
Actually, that's not always the case. With phones for example, in some states[1], it is illegal to record a phone call without the other person's knowledge and consent. This is the reason for that "this call may be monitored or recorded" thing. Staying on the line implies consent.

If electric cars can be made to charge from ordinary outlets, isn't the infrastructure already there?
No, as charging a car-size battery from a 15A 120V circuit would an unreasonable length of time.
The tesla roadster has a 53KW-hr battery pack, meaning it will supply 53,000W for a hour (or any equivalent ratio of power and time) and will require the same to recharge (53,000W for an hour), ideally anyway. It'll need more than that in the real world, but let's keep the math easy.
The circuit will provide 15A*120V=1800W
53000/1800=29 hours to charge it, assuming 100% efficiency in the charging device.
Using a 20A 240V circuit (What one would use for a clothes dryer or electric stove), you get 4800W and roughly 11 hours to charge.
To charge that battery within 15 min (not too far off from filling a big gas tank), you'd need 212KW of power for that time.
Actually, it would get filled, wiping out the data in the hidden partition. there is a feature to prevent this, but it's off by default and can automatically shut itself off after you unmount the hidden partition.

Non-turn based games are obviously a non-option.

Because your workplace is not at a fixed location? Not all of us sit at a desk all day.

The problem with "something must be done" is that it rapidly turns into "this is something, therefore, it must be done".
Best method would likely be buy 2/3 of them. 1 main, one backup, and maybe one off-site backup.
Or there's always tapes.
This one is almost as good.

Last time I checked, it doesn't work 100% in Firefox (haven't tested with 3), only in IE.

that's only valid for the kilobyte level. for this drive, your result is off by about 100GB high.
correct generic formula would go
fake capacity*(10^3x/2^10x)=real capacity, where x is the unit stepping (1 for KB, 2 for MB, 3 for GB, 4 for TB, etc.)
actual capacity is 1.364TB
to get that, just take the number of bytes (1.5 trillion for this) and divide by 2^10x, where x is the unit. 1 for KB, 2 for MB, and so on.
I'm just curious as to how the frig they're ever going to enforce against those among us who build/support machines owned by family and friends.
Selectively.
IANAL, but AFAIK, in theory, yes, in practice, hell no.
Unless i'm mistaken, the X11 license is one of the several licenses that has used by MIT.
