In the regions where land mines are buried, knowing the exact area or field where the mines are is the biggest problem. Because of the unknown area, there is no way to apply this in sprinking the bacteria except with a crop duster, and then it is useless when there is any overgrowth. Then the whole "use a laser" bit limits this to formerly advanced economies e.g. the balkan nations, not the areas where there are major issues Thailand, Myanmar, etc.

For background read this and this. Notice the different dates on these articles and that gives some idea of the difficulty in actually finding and removing these immoral weapons.

Actually stands to China Central TV.
Maybe watching chinese goverment broadcastings will scare burglars, who knows?

According to this page (which I do not know if the info is true or not)

http://io9.com/heres-what-chinas-yutu-rover-is-doing-on-the-moon-1483746967

it claims the following:

A. The Chang'e 3 lander has a powerful HD science cameras that can send at a rate of one image per second.

B. The Yutu rover will be sending high-definition images, including panoramas, back to Earth.

and

C. Ouyang Ziyuan, one of the chief scientists on the Chang'e-3 mission, said the in an interview: ( @ http://english.cntv.cn/program/newshour/20131130/102473.shtml )

"Number one: space observation from the moon. This is the dream of many astronomers because atmosphere, wind, snow and pollution don't obstruct visibility as they do on earth. The result is also better because of the longer periods of uninterrupted observation from the moon due to it orbiting the earth. One day of observation on the moon is equivalent to 14 days on earth.

Number two: we have an ultraviolet camera on the lander to monitor the earth. This camera is different from the one used by America's Apollo 16. Ours can see the formation of the earth's plasmasphere and its density change. It's better than a satellite, which can only record data section by section as it orbits around the earth. On the moon it can observe half of earth at a time without moving. This is something people have always wanted to do.

Number three: we will be the first to learn the structure and layers of the moon 100 meters below its surface with radars installed at the bottom of the rover. As the rover drives on the lunar surface, it will be as [if] it can cut and see what's 100 meters below. "

I got that warning and noped on out of there, then I found http://english.cntv.cn/live/p2p/index.shtml. Presumably, the Chinese government is not interested in monitoring western computers.

To watch the live feed I'm being asked to install CNTVLive2 plugi

I think not.

There seems to be a custom compression algorithm used for

mplayer/xine/vlc don't like it.

In Firefox and Chromium it shows a loading page but stops at 80-something percent.

Solar panels are opening, everything going well!

Live feed

There's some good live coverage of it here as of right now: http://english.cntv.cn/live/p2p/index.shtml

Unfortunately the odds are pretty hight that some of the rare earths required to make your phone were dug out in central Africa with wars being fought over them, and other more horrendous atrocities.

It would be nice to have the option of byuing devices that didn't cost lives, even if they cost more. I understand that not everyone feels this way, but some of us would like that option.

No. China extracts approximately 95% of all rare earths

And they don't export them.

It is pretty safe to say, If you own an electronic device, you have benefited from Chinese labor.

And it really doesn't matter where it was manufactured or assembled.

here are some takes on the interesting parts of the original vid (from http://military.cntv.cn/program/jskj/20110717/100139.shtml) Timestamp (TS) 11:08: dropdown menu option for DDoS -> Ctrl+D. The software looks pretty old, definitely the IP address has been inactive for a while, interesting that whatever software they built includes DDoS options. TS 11:09: interesting string across the top reads XX....1.0 the XXs are too blurry, rest reads "XX-type Network Attack System... PLA Electronic Engineering Institute... Version 1.0" Hope someone can get the XX. TS 11:10: one of the dropdown options is for Falun Dafa in the Alabama region. These guys did their homework! And it's interesting that the IP address is for the Alabama site even though the final selection is for Minghui Network (TS 11:13) which is hosted on the West Coast. Problem in the software? TS 11:12: you can see the Alabama IP address site being loaded in a screencap on the left side. Site definitely looks like Falun Gong what with the "Truthfulness" slogan and all. I don't think the site at ABU is running anymore. So that prolly gives some sort of idea of when this software was actually running? Quien sabe.

The English language website http://english.cntv.cn/01/index.shtml has it on the front page, second item. The headline is, interestingly, "Chinese citizens not injured in Egypt", which suggests that they are as willing as anyone to see and report things from their own perspective.
