Polarization is not spatially twisted -- that is just a visualization using the electric field strength on one spatial axis and the magnetic field strength on the second spatial axis, while the radiation travels in the third (real) spatial axis.
At least I can complain to my own government and vote out politicians. Where do I go to complain against the UNs policies?
To your politicians. Who do you think makes up the UN? It is states such as the US. In fact, the influence of the US is vastly larger than its share of humans in the world.
The fact is, We the People of the United States of America were first to fund DNS that makes the Internet what it is today. Sorry UN, you can't take it over without paying off some of the national debt your members hold.
Well thank you for inventing the web, but nothing stops other regions from having their own ICANN and cross-syncing DNS root servers. The standard is what people use, right?
Glad to learn we have not had any wars since the founding of the UN -
(please ignore the 140 plus wars since it was founded in 1945)
The US has been in war in every decade since the 2nd world war.
Why should the US have a monopoly on the DNS system? Why should american politics and american secret agencies having access and control over what the whole world can or can't see on the web?
Aside from that I only see FUD about the UN... where is the proposal to move DNS to the ITU? Who is proposing it? I don't think it'll happen.
Mah just move to a country that doesn't enforce copyrights from downloaded stuff, problem solved.
The problem are not the downloads (which are legal -- right to own a private copy), the problem are the uploads that are illegal -- a difficult issue with Bittorrent.
You are writing in the future tense but this is already happening... I use http://malaysiabay.org/ because it is nearer to me and therefore quicker...
If they take that down I am sure that a copy will be up within hours... As usual the only people that will really benefit from all this are the lawyers.
Why would you use http on a torrent site? That's silly. If you use https, get magnet links, and disallow unencrypted downloads in your bittorrent client, you have full privacy. malaysiabay.org, contrary to thepiratebay, doesn't seem to provide ssl, so I wouldn't use it.
"...With 'micro-transits' being a preferred way to find exoplanets, somebody looking could stumble across this..."
sorry, but we want to hide from aliens as long as we don't have technology strong enough to win an eventual war with them. Evolution as a universal rule prefers stronger species.
Wrong, evolution prefers the species better adapted to its environment, if there is selection pressure. It does not prefer a stronger (in what sense anyway) species: A lot of preditor species, including Tyrannosaurus Rex died out because they simply used too much energy. The most successful species are bacteria. Are they "strong"? Fittest does not refer to strength but to the degree of adaption.
We rolled our eyes at Jurassic Park's representation of a "Unix system" back in 1993 (the directory hierarchy was basically a bunch of 3D boxes you could fly around), but here we are 20 years later looking at a code analyser which represents the information as.. a bunch of 3D boxes you can fly around:-)
I'm sure on contributor to the conspiracies are Americans themselves. They communicate that it's a valid theory, so it's picked up. Same with 9/11 attacks, a fair share of people in Pakistan believe it was the US government themselves, because Americans believe/consider that -- another example of Americans hurting themselves.
This discussion thread is weird -- one (ex-?)official hints towards something (maybe) and it's taken as the current Russian policy. Should the rest of the world take what those US president candidates say with equal weight?
Well at some point when you have a product you want to make it known to people that it exists. Whether you force it down peoples throat or remain with the facts is a question of style. So here you don't answer the question of whether marketing/sales is an important/necessary/hard job to do -- You don't like a common style of doing it.
It just makes you even more aware/scared of all the things Facebook has on you. Which is good. Aside from the privacy-concerns of giving away so much information at once it is a really nice visualization feature.
Why is the advice on Ask Slashdot so often "quit your job" as if running away from the problem is a good solution?
I have an issue with my boss --> quit your job We are using a system that I don't like --> quit your job In my company, I have this difficulty --> quit your job
As for the original question, I don't think I understand the problem: Of course you have an amount of heterogenous tech to look after. You did a good job organizing it into a wiki. So you already have your information centralized, and just need to maintain it. What's the trouble?
Not sure if the following is applicable to you, but in the last few weeks I dealt with documenting a software package. With sphinx (not limited to python) you write the documentation in the code, and it extracts it to make a nice website. The benefit is that documenting in the same place where you make configuration/software changes is more likely to be maintained. Maybe you can do something similar and build your documentation from the config files, so that centrally, you only tell which config files (etc) you want to pull. The benefit of a wiki is that you don't need any software to change text, and everyone can contribute.
That's the point. The US is crying about China polluting, but Americans are wasting the most resources and polluting the most. Chinese are more economical and haven't even started looking at pollution and green energies until now. Americans seriously need to clean up.
OLPC really screws the pooch each time by not offering their tech for geeks in the first world. It would greatly increase the volume of production and drive software development, as well as generate a huge volume of fixes and improvements in the appropriate wikis.
I think you meant "as well as generate a huge workload on the few volunteers dedicated to the project". If you want to help OLPC, be dedicated, and join a local developer group. Then you will also get your hands on a device.
If they started distributing devices to everyone, they'd loose their focus, and the viewpoint of the project would become skewed. Don't forget, the OLPC project is about education, not technology!

Punchscan and other E2E methods. I guess too complicated is the drawback.
Any concerns using machines just to speed up counting of the votes?
Let me just check my Mayan calendar...
Oh yes, there it is.
Is this a leap year?
Also unicode and SSL support.

Of course, kidding, 50,000 is 1% of the population.
The only drawback there are only 49,000 citizens.

The second sentence is not regarding to women but the whole group. Perhaps I excerpted badly.
Also, 67 vs 58 percent doesn't strike me as a distinguishing difference (+- 2.4%) .
There are some more interesting ones though:

I doubt they have equipment in the eastern part of Russia. Russia is basically made up of city islands (in my ignorant state of knowledge at least).
