RE USING BE LEGAL?
July 20, 1998
No. The Kansas Highway Patrol — and hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the country — routinely use radar equipment to pull over speeders, regardless if motorists know it.

Nonpublic safety entities, such as baseball teams, railroads, tennis clubs, automobile and boat racing organizations and private transportation firms can use the radar units to measure the speeds of objects. Nonpublic safety users, however, are required to obtain a Part 90 license from the FCC to use radar units.

ELECTRONIC-MAIL PERPLEXITIES CAN BE BROKEN DOWN BY LETTERS
July 20, 1998
Warning: This column may contain unsafe concentrations of acronyms, which have been shown to produce confusion and disorientation in laboratory animals. Avoid direct contact with your brain; flush with cold water immediately in case of an acronym spill. Proceed at your own risk. POP3, IMAP4, SMTP. These are the protocols that are most commonly used in allowing you to use electronic mail. I suspect that many e-mail users don’t understand much about how it all works, and most of us don’t really have to. But depending on what your e-mail situation is, knowing a little bit about these protocols can help you work more efficiently.
