Where does 'spectra (UHMWPE, as I understand it)' fiber fall in these? I have often heard of it referred to as artificial spider's silk and could potentially be used as a thin bullet resistant lining (i.e. you will probably have broken bones and a wound, but would still be alive). I presume you would be able to provide more information on this fiber and the validity of that claim.

Typically you are instructed not to seek any information about the case at hand and if you hear anything about the case unintentionally to inform the judge. Ignoring this is (often) a contempt of court. If the case is serious (or high-profile) enough, you will be sequestered (look for the OJ Simpson trial to see how far that went, though probably never again) so that you don't have access to those items.

A jury decides a case based on the evidence presented and their judgment, not additional evidence that would (may) have been otherwise excluded from the case (and likely was, otherwise you would have seen it as one side or the other would see it as beneficial to bring it up).

It's often the remote monitoring equipment in ICUs that they ask you to turn off the phones for (no idea what frequencies they run on, but when it comes to monitoring in the ICU, I don't care if it's totally unfounded, people can turn off their phones' transmitters).

Radiology/Imaging is often for if you're in for a scan you don't want any metal near the magnet-based devices (see: http://www.simplyphysics.com/flying_objects.html ). I know the percentages of particles that are detected in an MRI and a phone might just be able to disrupt that from a hallway, although I doubt it given the usual placement of the machines.

Or it may be that there are segments of the market that truly need the older ports to support hardware that has an extremely long refresh cycle.

That reminds me of this one time in college....

Because they'd have to buy things like these 'traffic attentuators' to safeguard their employees in the paint truck. The flashing signs don't save you from some idiot tearing down the breakdown lane because s/he's late for work and doesn't know what the holdup is.

Or, clearly the dump truck is cheaper </sarcasm>.

*Although the dump truck actually may be cheaper because it can be used for other things as well, like doing tar snakes/pothole repair/other hauling. Three is excessive.

A bit offtopic, but I believe that is what they do for radio still, is it not?

Also, I don't believe the 'Nielsen box' has gone away.

To be a touch US-centric, why not the Honda Civic NGV?

Here, no excuse: Representative and Senator.

Copy and Paste if you really can't be bothered:

Senator / Congress(wo)man [name here],

Please do whatever you can to stop the AT&T buyout of T-Mobile USA, it is bad for consumers and will hurt consumer choice. I do not want the buyout to go through and neither do you other constituents. [Optional: This is an important issue for me and if you do not take action, I will be forced to vote for a representative/senator who will better represent my interests in the future.]

Sincerely,
[Your real name]

Is that because of his/her UID, or his post?

When wind power fails, it fails spectacularly. Occasionally they catch fire too :) .

It was a godsend for sasser/mydoom/dcom IIRC.

The difference is that the fab guys went with electron beams and, in some applications, x-rays. Neither of which I typically consider light, although part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Of course... the light they're shining on your DL is UV and is used to light-up the UV-reactive inks on your DL. There's also some fun stuff on your credit cards (Amex, MC, Visa at least) - but I suspect you were using that as a synecdoche.

That aside - the status of a driver's license is not necessarily automatic in all states. An easy example is state's with particularly young driving ages (or possible driving age if you're living on a farm or the like). If you then move to another state, you may be able to drive there while not a resident - but once you become a resident you'll typically have to get the license of the state that you're in. If you aren't of age - then no dice.

I believe you're conflating either the National Driver Register or Driver License Compact or even the Non-Resident Violator Compact with the TSA's policy to accept government issued IDs. The NRVC is notably not reciprocal between all states.
