Recalling some of my old R.F. tech and ham experience, the dB is being used as a ratio, and when talking dBs of increase or decrease, when you increase a signal by 3dB, you have doubled it, and if you decrease a signal by 3dB, you've halved it. In other words, 100mw increased by 3dB is 200mw, 100mw decreased by 3dB is 50mw.
So, using that, 80mw +12dB = 320mw
A factor of 12 dB is approximately doubling 4 times, or 2^4=16. As 3 dB is slightly less than a factor of two, 12 dB should be somewhat less than a factor of 16.
One could also do the calculation in dBm. In this case 80 mW = 19 dBm. 19 dBm + 12 dB = 31 dBm = 1 dB W which is about 1.26 W or 1260 mW.
You're making quite an assumption about my political views.
I never said there wouldn't be any reaction, only that I didn't think there would be a fine. I've seen plenty of real life violence on televsion (just watch the evening news) and I have yet to hear of a fine.
Unfortunately I don't have a link (maybe someone else will provide one) but recently someone on the m68k-linux mailing list has had some success on the Macintosh Classic, a 68000 based machine. I think they are using a port of ucLinux.
I would tend to agree with that. My new cell phone has a color screen and near as I can tell the only thing that the color screen is useful for is to have a prettier user interface. The phone has no games or a camera.
Warning! Verzion rant to follow.....
If I want to change the background picture, I have to choose one that Verizon has for download and cough up $1.99. Not that I need that or a screen saver on my phone.
The issue here (I think) is who's public good is it for? Who is the public that is benefiting? It is clear that the developers are winning big in this case and the homeowners are the loosers, but how does one determine what all of the other fallout is?
I had a similar problem reproducing my thesis but they didn't give me much fuss, only asked that I show ID to prove that I was indeed the copyright holder.
I used to live in Cleveland and I loved the Micro Center there. Where I live now there isn't a Micro Center nearby and I have to suffer with CompUSA so I mail order most stuff.
The staff was always helpful and not pushy, the prices were good and I loved going just to browse the "scratch and dent" table.
It sounds like they're keeping up with my expectations by stocking more Linux related items.
Common words are trademarked all the time in all sorts of businesses (As are just plain numbers contra a previous post. "76" Gasoline, 501 Blue Jeans, 505 both blue jeans and a cleaning solution, and of course Channell No. 5)
Actuall in those cases IIRC the number isn't trademarked but rather the combination of numbers and words. For example, "501" isn't trademarked but "501 Blue Jeans" could be.

Where are you working at that a 10% annual increase in salery is small? Please let me know because I want to change fields.
Why is it ending? I used to go when I was a student, but I haven't been able to attend since then. It was always a great experience.

I'm not sure what this "compatibility layer" is that you are refering to. Could you please clarify your statement?

But I bet the stations would not have been given fines.
I used to have one of those. I wish I still did. I wonder how much I could get for one on eBay?
Sounds like a copyright violation to me.

So you're saying that he is Dogbert?
Too bad there isn't a +1 Correct Spelling mod.
Don't you mean this use of Phobos?
I'm not sure in what direction you are going with this. Are you suggesting that the iPod needs to support Windows Media?
Most of us were too young in the mid-90s? I think I'm too old for this crowd.
BTW - When's Matlock on?

Just think of the power you'd have if you wrapped a GUI around it!
Destiny, it had to happen. Which now make me realize the importance the several episodes of time travel in Futurama had to the plot. It miss it....

Yes.

Yeah, HP-branded sounds good.
I don't know if Apple makes the HP iPods but I'd guess that the same third party is licensed by Apple to make both the Apple iPods and the HP iPods.

HP doesn't make iPods. HP sells iPods.
