The "not an IT guy" is the point. He was the chairman of the senate committee on commerce, science and transportation. He should have an appropriate grasp of the subjects he is in charge of, which he does not as you can tell from the rest of the speech.
If I am understanding correctly, the problem is that p is usually a pseudoprime, rather than a true prime. If you can factorize that, solving for a, b, and thus K becomes far easier.
The pseudoprime bit is because determining whether an arbitrary large number is prime is computationally expensive, but there are shortcuts that will detect most non-primes, but some numbers called pseudoprimes with very large factors slip through, which are usually good enough, as even though they aren't a true prime, there isn't an easy way to factor large numbers, and it therefore takes a long time. But as computers progress, what was impractical before becomes practical.
By "signal below" I meant a signal without any frequencies above that line.
You understanding is mostly correct, but the definition of "accurately" for this purpose means only "will not alias to a different frequency". If you tried to record a 30kHz tone using a 44.1kHz sample rate, sans filtering, and then tried to play it back, that tone could reconstruct as a 14.1Khz tone. The prevention of that is as far as it goes.
As far as the accuracy of the waveform capture, it gets worse as you approach the Nyquist frequency. If you recorded a 22kHz sine wave tone at that sample rate, and then looked at it as a waveform, it would actually look like a somewhat screwy triangle wave instead of a sine wave, which sounds different. You can test and examine this for yourself quite easily in a program like Audacity by playing with the sample rate and generating various tones.
That's a common misunderstanding of the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. A sample rate of 44.1kHz gives you a Nyquist frequency of 22.05Khz. Any signal below that (given ideal filtering) will not fold and alias to a different signal. It gives nothing on the quality of the sampling and capability for that to be reconstructed to the original signal beyond that.
Certain major companies like Nintendo only figured out the whole "WPA" thing less than a year ago, so WEP is sadly still the default for compatibility reasons.
And you got to wonder why the mines are all in China. I would find it highly unlikely that China just happens to have the only locations with those metals.
They have lots of it and it's in easy to mine locations, so it's cheaper than other places. China currently controls 95% of global REE production.
Other places with good supplies are South Africa, Brazil, Australia, and the US. It just takes awhile to get mines up to speed, so this could be a problem for the next year or two.
Yeah, they still make stuff, most of the equipment in my college's electronics labs is Techtronix, though the quality seems to be going downhill since they started outsourcing the manufacturing.
The Nth country experiment showed how useful secrecy was in that regard 45 years ago and the vast advances in computer technology since then have not made it any more useful.

Which part of the GGP's plan requires that?
You want to have to go through email/text every single time you log in vs. pushing a button on a key fob and typing in 6 numbers?
The hardware in question costs $6.50. This is a game you're already spending $15/month on.
They're $6.50.

Not legally they can't, unless they have some existing agreement specifically allowing them to do so
Incorrect. see NEBG v. Weinstein.

According to Mercer's surveys, Tokyo has the highest cost of living of any city in the world. LA is #23, up from 55 last year.
Stuttgart doesn't even make the list.
The droid uses TI's OMAP 3430 system, which uses a 550MHz ARM cortex-A8 proc.
Snapdragon is similar (ARM arch built by Qualcomm), but faster.
He's meaning CDMA as in CDMA2000, aka 1x and EV-DO, which is used by Verizon, Sprint, and others.
More detailed analysis
Bulk kicking horse coffee costs about $12/pound, so they're using 6666 pounds per year.
1 pound will make about 96 250ml cups of coffee. (YMMV)
That comes to 640,000 cups of coffee per year or 1750 per day.
Ok, how's this? $0.99 plus an additional $0.99 per distribution (share ratio anyone?), then triple that.

We managed to slow it down via massive use of NAT and the RIRs tightening the requirements to get blocks of address space.

I should probably just wok away, but I can't resist.
Which word? Their legal name is the Conservative Party of Canada (or Parti conservateur du Canada).
Both sites appear to be working fine from here in Canada also. This is either some quick backpedaling or bogus.
