I guess you could detect a radar shadow of cm waves coming from a satellite.
There are potentially techniques to fight this though. There are the metamaterial invisibility "cloaks", also with lots of phased arrays on the bottom of the plane you might be able to detect the incoming radiation on top and relay it to the bottom.
Lead wins from both. Just like gold its value is much less likely to drop to zero, but unlike gold you can use it to trade without even losing it. Beat that.
Some stone age moon laser ranging experiment isn't really relevant to what the state of the art can do.
You could focus around 50% of a laser beam into a 4 meter spot at geostationary orbit with an active optics telescope. If that is enough to fry them I don't know, the US military is researching active optics for anti satellite weaponry but they aren't telling.

A quick google shows that the angular resolution of an adaptive optics telescope is about 1e-5 degrees, which translates roughly to 4 meters at that altitude. You see where I'm going with this?
I don't speak their language, but I have read quite a few transcriptions. I've read transcriptions from Rabbi Fishman, Yitzhak Shapira and Ovadia Yosef as well.
Israel might not believe in involuntary martyrdom, but it's a big believer in ethnic cleansing. I don't think if they try to do that for all of the land Rabbi Fishman wanted we'll get away without some type of WMDs going off either, if not nuclear then biological.
It didn't have a "you will be bombed and invaded" penalty clause. Destabilizing every non Sunni hellhole in the middle-east has fucked up my backyard too much, I don't trust a word coming out of Israel and the US any more. We have to try something else now, I don't think it can be worse than the alternatives.
I don't buy the gloom and doom of Iranian nuclear weapons even if they did get them. I don't see it as a worse threat than the Likud mad dogs and their quest to get their promised land, they're getting ready to annex their previously ethnically cleansed Golan Heights right about now, or their Haredi cousins some of who literally think of me as little more than cattle and who could become a majority in a couple of decades.
For fossil fuel powered parallel infrastructure once wind is cheaper than fuel it's economically advantageous to use wind. Doesn't work for nuclear power of course.
I am against allowing companies to use advertising to push people into useless products with huge margins in my country, but not for the US.
I think a very good argument can be made for both protecting the more naive parts of the public against itself and for having as little intervention of government as possible except to protect the commons. So let different countries have different policies based on the predisposition of their citizens, one size doesn't fit all.
Yes, but LEDs don't go low enough on the spectrum. The lamps they use for ponds are gas discharge and don't last very long.
If you really want to generate UV it would make more sense to use spark discharges in the water. Generates a lot of UV, destroys bacteria due to electroporation, removes charge from particulates and decreases the size of particulates through shockwaves (also your electrodes of course, but those are cheap to replace).
We can put fuckton of small relays in LEO at negligible cost (relative to the F-35 project). Alternatively, if the opponent does have a ground based laser anti-satellite weapon (the only viable way of dealing with the fuckton of satellites) you could use a drone swarm with a mesh network. Either way you can use highly directional communication, which makes jamming moot.
They are taking part on the side which hasn't caused the Libyan clusterfuck.
In one action the US destroyed a large part of this hospital and hopefully they did more damage to their real targets. Repeat that every day for a couple of months and a city is mostly destroyed. A barrel bomb, dropped from a relatively low attitude has pretty good precision. It's a lot cheaper than laser/gps guided munitions dropped from high altitude, but they are both still bombs. Neither are very discriminate. The amount of money spent on a bomb isn't what makes the difference between humane and inhumane warfare.
Sirte didn't look so hot after NATO was done with it either.
Airstrikes on population centres cause civilian casualties you say? The cost of sending in soldiers instead is too high, justifying the cost of the collateral damage you say? But not when Assad or Putin does it you say?
""The bombing continued for more than 30 minutes after American and Afghan military officials in Kabul and Washington were first informed,” the organization said in a statement."
I guess the difference is the level competence and precision.
I can't use my card for out of EU pin transactions without turning it on.
If I make a payment on the internet I always had to use a calculator like device to sign my transaction, this was vulnerable and widely abused by MitM attacks originating on a compromised PC of the user though (which I saw coming a decade ago, but it took the banks a while to wake up). So now I have a calculator which uses a bar code on the screen to allow the device to show the amount payable and the bank account for the transaction I'm signing (for accounts trusted by the bank it will even give me a name instead of a number).
The only viable attack left other than social engineering is card+pin theft and compromising the card reader to make you overpay, which requires significantly more collusion than a skimmer. If they put a LCD on the card which shows you the amount you are paying the latter would be prevented to (they could have done this for cents years ago, banks are so reactive instead of proactive regarding to fraud). Apple pay fixes it too, much as I hate to admit it.
Over here in the Netherlands delivery services mostly started using "independent contractors" (but not really) and that's about how it ended up, they were working for less than minimum wage.
Sodium cooled breeder reactors burn and burn money, MSR still have to prove their value relative to current reactor designs. I'm doubtful they can and we're not running out of Uranium soon even if we went mad building more classical reactors so we're not exactly in a hurry.

Natural gas is great for backup, relatively cheap plants, expensive fuel.
All the power is generated during the day, so if you can sell it all there is no need to store it.
Once we get to the point where we have too much power during the day (like Germany) then it makes sense to store it.
Wind is getting close to being cheap enough simply to safe on fuel for coal plants.

The only valid patent is a patent held valid by a bunch of people who don't bother getting out of jury duty in East Texas.
Everything else just comes down to trying to redefine subjective as objective, silly semantic games.

You'll overload the detector.
PDF is a vector regardless of where I open it, the JS reader sucks so I use the Sumatra PDF plugin (no longer supported, but still working).
VLC plugin.
OpenH264 is a plugin.
I put more faith in those not being a malware vector than Flash, which Firefox will continue supporting. So I agree with OP, Mozilla disease.
No, it means it can afford it a couple years sooner.

I stand corrected.
Still, I really like the concept of just blasting it with a Marx generator.
