to needing a dedicated device for your online transactions. Something that is not subject to other applications running amok. Perhaps the next generation of credit cards will have touchscreens and wifi.
there seem to be several ways of achieving this in other scenarios
near end echo cancellation; a wide dynamic range receiver that can subtract the station's own forward transmission from the mix of forward and reverse transmissions on the line, many modern 2-wire digital line systems (eg. DSL, V.90) work this way
A variation of the above for satellite transmission that tracks the phase and frequency offsets in the satellite transponder to achieve a similar forward channel cancellation eg. PCMA
an iterative variation whereby you can receive all signals in a given frequency space and as you learn what each signal is, you can subtract a recreation of it from the jumble and reveal even more signals underneath it
This one is cool because it seems it can be retro-fitted to an existing transmitter, it works by creating local interference tending to cancel the forward transmission so that the station's receiver is unaffected by it. I'd be interested to know what it does to the radiation pattern of the transmitting antenna and how sensitive it is to the way in which the antenna is mounted. I'm sure it works great on a flat plate.
we need sustained speed. I have considered and rejected rail travel on several occasions because of one catch in using it or another, whether it be a small baggage allowance or a crazy routing or an unfriendly schedule. I'd love to travel overnight across the country for a reasonable fee and I don't give a damn whether the train reached 250MPH at some point on the journey, I just wish it could average, say 100mph. That way I could board a sleeper in NYC on Friday evening and wake up as it pulls into in Miami the next day.
Yes, commercial satellites can be moved to different orbital positions and occasionally are. For example to replace a failed satellite with an in-orbit spare or to deploy it to a new market or even to kick it out of its orbital slot at the end of its life. However, it may deplete the station keeping fuel (perhaps hydrazine gas) which may mean it then has less fuel to remain on station and hence a reduced residual service lifetime. I say may, because it may be that a highly inclined (ie, allowed to drift off-position) orbit is quite acceptable and can be tracked form the ground for this purpose and so something running on the last fumes of hydrazine might suffice. Or maybe the satellite they buy has an alternative propulsion system (ion drive perhaps).
It seems to me that a satellite with plenty of fuel remaining might not fall into the clunker category; so if they're looking for something with more than 5 or so years of life they might do much better to ask a university to launch something tailored to their exact need, maybe into low earth orbit.
I dare say that this app is designed to make that close to impossible. I gather from reading the comments that TFA may mention that aspect though of course I haven't read it. The real security threat is the FBI application that looks similar and is spelled only slightly differently in the APP store, it's a link to "angry stool pigeons".
If I'm asked to make some statements about, say, Ohm's law and I use the term V=IR in my paper is that cheating because I did not come up with that from my own original thought ? It seems to me that a whole lot of this "cheating" is the result of doing something laudable (reading about a subject to learn). I don't see the need for creative originality in all of engineering. In some cases it should be just fine to quote authoritative texts. If you're going to mark the kids down then do so for quoting something irrelevant or wrong not for "standing on the shoulders of giants". If the assignment called for original thought then it's a fair complaint; but I don't think they are all inventing something new every time. All Engineers have to learn the basics first, even if the liberal artists prefer to sneer and call that part of an engineers education "training". That is why we have documents from the past, it's not just to look at the pictures.
I'm willing to bet that the people bringing this up probably tried this and the results were not quite the sensation that what they wanted. The whole idea of keeping the phone on but unused seems to me to be more contrived that simply letting the battery run down or turning it off or keeping it in a tin box or, as you say, turning off the data service or having it connect via wifi.
No, they "doubt" those theories because it is politically expedient for them to do so. I'm convinced that there are many "leaders" who full well know the meaning of the word theory in the scientific context and simply lie to further their ambitions.. It's what good old religion would call "evil".
That tolerances on fighter jets and A2A missiles have gotten so tight that every explosion is so repeatable and deterministic. Kudos to the engineers, mechanics and of course the pilots I say.
I don't know. But if they're using an unlicensed copy of her DNA themselves, or a derivative work, then they may get sued. I suggest they keep quiet about it.
What a line they tread: Wanting the bomber to believe it is not suicide but the public to believe that it is a desperate act of self sacrifice. How does anyone get to the point where they feel they can keep full faith and somehow pull one over on their god ?
Has been rear ended by two different sedans now. Both of them crumpled somewhat. I think I see a small scratch in my rear fender. The Tacoma's only a small pickup (it's not the latest version) and I've been really pleased with how solid it is and I can live with the gas milage considering I don't drive more than 4000 miles/yr. I can't see this VW surviving much in the way of a minor accident, even if the occupants are unhurt; it looks to me as if the car's structural components are largely sacrificial. I wonder what kind of a crash rating a production version of it would get.
then their problem would seem to be a lack of giving a shit about it rather than a lack of ability to master the technological challenges the issue presented.
University of Bologna (UNIBO) looks to be a bone-fide establishment, and if so, why can't it bring some serious academic analysis to bear on this experiment (even if it has to invite expertise in from the outside). I suspect this "team" will prove to have little if anything to do with research at that university.

There are people out there actively trying to invent items seen in star trek. This shit plays its part to shape the future.

Or perhaps he could just sell his orbital slot like these guys and use the money to establish a more honest government or a school.

Then at least if the controlling computer gets bored it can play chess with them.

There was no federal funding of stem cell research under Lincoln either.
