repeater

1) A device that receives, amplifies (and sometimes reshapes), and retransmits a signal. It is used to boost signal levels and extend the distance a signal can be transmitted. In radio terms, the signal is usally recieved on a input frequency and then retransmitted on a different frequency (output or direct).

2) A network device that repeats signals from one cable onto one or more other cables, while restoring signal timing and waveforms. Repeaters are the most common way to connect local networks together, and can provide either Thinwire or Thickwire connections. They are commonly used to create larger local networks up to a certain limit based on the number of repeaters and the length of the cables.

3) A device inserted at intervals along a circuit to boost, and amplify an analog signal being transmitted. A repeater is sometimes needed because the quality and strength of a signal decays over distance. Repeaters are also used to regenerate a digital signal - "squaring it" and "cleaning it up" - but not changing it. You can regenerate digital signals because technology exists that can separate the actual signal from the noise, regenerating only the signal. No technology exists that can do this with analog signals. The simplest type of LAN interconnection device is a repeater. A repeater moves all received packets or frames between LAN segments. The primary function of a repeater is to extend the length of the network media, i.e. the cable.

4) someone who is repeatedly arrested for criminal behavior

5) a firearm that can fire several rounds without reloading
The Fairfax County Public Schools use digital trunked repeaters that operate in the 800 MHz range for thier school buses.

The criminal (in your case) used a repeater to kill the police officer.

Outfit Repeater

An individual who wears the same outfit (a set of clothing) more than once. Seems to be more of a female thing because it doesn't really apply to males.
Girl 1: Hi
Girl 2: Hello...OMG didn't I see you wearing those jeans and tops last week?
Girl 1: Ummmm....I dunno.
Girl 2: OMG EWWWWWW OUTFIT REPEATER!

Repeating Status Syndrome

A severe illness which involves a person's myspace or facebook status to be sent repeatedly, resulting in a lengthy vertical line of the same status. This syndrome can be deadly...if you experience any of the symptoms associated with it, please see a specialist at www.myspace.com or www.facebook.com
Setting a status as:

"I'm baking a cake!"

A healthy Myspace or Facebook account would appear like this:

"I'm baking a cake!"

However, with the symptoms of Repeating Status Syndrome, it would appear like so:

"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"
"I'm baking a cake!"


etc...

repeat customer

is a re-offender. someone who is not intelligent , keeps committing the same crimes. this repeat customer has purchased alot of services from the policy enforcement companys, jails, prisons, the BAR , and the courts.

a customer is a slippery fish to catch.
this is why the ''fish'' was drawn on john podestas hand and on the other hand a ''14''; for the National debt.
location of the debtor; the u.s. is a foreign corporation with respect to a state . the u.s. is located in the district of columbia. the usa is also an insolvent corporation (zombie) that has been continueing to operate. this is why it is important to get as many ''repeat customers'' into the system to make money off of them. and also to elimnate debt (14.4 National debtor citizen) anyone that is costing the corporation money is an unwanted expense, a liability , a threat to the financial well being of the u.s. . and that is terrifying. my friends this war is on humanity , so try not to be a customer, especially a repeat customer nor a debt, cuz thats a threat , and that is terryfying; and the war on terror (humanity) (anyone that costs and does not make money more that they consume ,,, is on the kill list
