...groups remained separated by differentradio frequencies. While HUPD operates on aprimary frequency of 471.0625 Megahertz, thesecurity guards are on a separate frequency...
...Strawberry, Lime, Blueberry, Tangerine and Grape (which the fruit-impaired might also recognize as red, green, blue, orange, and purple). Those are the shades the iMac will now come in--part of Apple's push to make the marketing of the personal computer less a matter of megahertz and more of design. To sweeten the pie, the company is cutting the price by a hundred bucks, and, in a bow to today's instant nostalgia, selling the remaining first-edition iMacs (you remember, with that Bondi blue case that's SO five minutes ago) for a svelte...
...need at least a Pentium-level PC running at 166 megahertz, plus a sound card, a CD-ROM drive and 2 gigabytes of free space. Storage is especially critical because the Marvel chews up 90 megabytes for each minute of video. Another hurdle: to install the Marvel card, you have to open the computer case, an experience I relish as much as home brain surgery. Truthfully, though, setup was pretty painless.

...seat. It's an unspoken rule in our family that the driver gets to pick the radio station--it is only fair to get a privilege for a responsibility. We approached New York on 1-95, and I was scanning the FM band of the radio, stopping at 97.9 megahertz, A Latin station...
...Earth turns, the BETA (for Billion-channel Extra-Terrestrial Assay) telescope sweeps a circular swath through the heavens, elevated at a slightly different fixed angle from the horizon with each successive turn. During each circuit it captures radio waves reaching Earth at frequencies between 1400 and 1720 megahertz--a broad but relatively "quiet" region of the radio spectrum. "In the 1960s we were looking in a few niches and hoping the extraterrestrials had put their jewels there," says astronomer Frank Drake, who launched the first SETI project in 1960. "They didn't. Now we are doing it right...
