I think there's something like 5 current HSR projects and the bulk of the money is going to Amtrak for cars and locomotives
Intel has stopped giving out information on memory management configuration like EDAC, and is pushing EFI BIOS control. If you want to own your PC instead of licensing it from Intel it's better to use an AMD processor. Intel NICs are still good though.
I don't understand. 104.7 FM is a part of the spectrum allocated for radio broadcast. Why was that interfering with keyless entry systems? Is this just an issue of too much power?
Such pirate transmitters are typically built as cheap as possible. Such things as filtering carrier harmonics don't tend to feature in the design. Pirates with two brain cells to rub together tend to assume that their hardware will be quickly found and confiscated. Thus are more likely to spend money on having multiple "hot spare" transmitters than having one half decent one.
Radio transmitters tend to be pretty good on emitted frequency.. The things that are cheaply made are cars. I'd bet the filter on the door lock receiver is not blocking enough of the radio signal to prevent interference. Keyless entry is in the 300-400 MHz range so only 3-4 times the frequency.
I'm trying to find a roll call on the amendment but I don't think it's up yet. Here's what I found:

Thomas makes it hard to link, so if this doesn't work its Senate amendment 3438
Its pretty clear that Techdirt didn't actually read the patents and just took Marvell's word that it covers the same thing. Read them.
Also, they are wrong that CMU didn't offer to license. They pursued a license for two years. Maybe its you who are the troll.
Did they just buy the patent? Nope - it was invented at CMU. Are they involved in lots of litigation? Nope - search for "CMU sues" and you come up with Central Michgan Univ, not CMU. Did they offer to license it on reasonable terms? Yes - Marvell refused.
Doesn't sound like a troll to me.
Not sure I understand the difference between a tax credit and a tax exception. In neither case is the government giving money to a recipient, just not collecting tax that would be otherwise due. Can you explain why you call one a subsidy and not the other?
The Acela cost ~$2B and generates $500M/year in revenue. Its been running since 1999 and is successful because it has downtown terminals in Boston, New York and Washington. Also because it runs on existing right-of-way with some track upgrades. Business class New York to Boston is $107 and takes 4 hours which is about the same time as air travel + 2 airport shuttles + groping. So if you choose the right location, it works. However, nothing I've seen about the California plan suggests they are choosing the right location.
Automobile and air travel are subsidized with public money to build roads and provide air traffic services (and security). The only significant public money going to railroads is to build crossings for car traffic. If politicians were looking for fuel efficiency and cost savings instead of the flashiest most vote-getting programs they would be investing in rail.
No. They tied it. China, long a sleeper in technology is now siding with the West in new developments. This will signal a switch to new railroad advances.
China just connects cities with theirs. We connect cornfields with ours.
Worse than the Osprey?
According to a federal report, you are paying $839 and adding 125 pounds for a much safer car than you had 25 years ago, so yes. People are willing to pay more for safety.
I don't think ULA prices being 10X have anything to do with more safety, I think its mostly more overhead and lack of competition.
What will you do after your office closes due to being less productive than other workplaces?
