Section 2510 (12) defines "electronic communication" as
any transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data,
or intelligence of any nature transmitted in whole or part by wire,
radio, electromagnetic, photoelectronic or photooptical system
that affects interstate or foreign commerce...
Although this is restricted to things that affect interstate or
foreign commerce. Do the laws on wiretapping have a similar
restriction? And what is its practical legal effect?

The extra processing time is irrelevant; if minimizing the CPU time needed
to compile my programs was all-important, I would write them in hexadecimal.

[Actually, he'd type the bytes in as a binary stream.]
