Unlike 3G networks, which lose download speed with more users, the analog signal would provide a consistent speed no matter how many users there were.
I think someone needs to gain an acquaintance with the Shannon Theorem.
Shannon's Theorem deals with the information rate in time... when adding the spatial distribution to the equation(TFA: "nanopeople/sq.km"), there may be a solution assuming a rarified enough spatial/angular distribution (and, of course, enough transmiting power).
Are we goint to see another patent for CSIRO? (at least they worth it)
Unlike 3G networks, which lose download speed with more users, the analog signal would provide a consistent speed no matter how many users there were.
Gentlemen, I think we've found our solution. With 4G, we need to first convert the digital signal to analog before transmission. Network congestion will be a thing of the past!
Yes, of course... But with one catch: need to keep the population density to "nanopeople per square kilometer".
I'd buy that argument, except the left-wing politicians from liberal cities like San Francisco have been supporting this stuff also. Its not just the war-mongering right, its almost all of them.
I suspect it has more to do with cowardice, an instinctive love of control, and campaign contributions.
A saying of some other beardless guy... Errr..., le'me see... Yes... Hanlon's razor
and has always been about making people feel secure.
Can't be... that's utterly absurd...
You mean that's a farse? In which the spectators are actively playing "the stupid" role and be embarased/quite frequently harrased, but gratified by the illusion they are "secure"... and still paying 8.1 billion of dollars for it??!
You're talking out your ass, fuzzy. Freedom isn't free - you have that much right.
I argue that while freedom is not free, is much less expensive than giving it up for increased security.
Here are some citations (and I don't need Wikileaks to find them):
1. TSA budget for 2009 - roughly$ 8.1 billion dollar 2. cost of single month of war in Iraq and Afghanistan (waged also in the name of security) - 11.1 billion dollars
will give up any freedoms because they are "supposed to" in order to "be safe".
Yeap. And not only their freedom, but their money too: TSA's budget 2009 roughly $8.1 billions. Funny thing, not only the money of those willing to sacrifice their liberty, but also part of those that are not willing.
Granted, the $8.1 billions is just below the cost of a single month of war in Iraq and Afghanistan (also in the name of security): $11.1 billions= $5.4 (Iraq)+$5.7 (Afghanistan). Seriously guys, do you think is it still an affordable endeavour?
1. unemployment rate at 9.8%
2. a public debt running at $13.56 trillion (that is 94% of the annual GDP) 3. a foreing debt of $13.45 trillions 4. a trade deficit of $44,033 million only for Sept 2010 - i.e. loosing money every month.
Whatever other industry that would have the potential to bring some money in US? You know:
1. with an unemplyemnt rate at 9.8% 2. a public debt running at 94% of the annual GDP (i.e. $13.56 trillion),
3. a foreing debt of $13.45 trillions 4. a $44 trillions in trade deficit
I can understand the desperation (with the note that: understanding != approval of the means).
What amazes me is that the various "war on..." had placed US in this situation, yet US still persist in them crazy spendings (monthly cost of Iraq+Afghanistan - $11.1 billions; TSA budget 2009: roughly $8.1 billions).
Even letting aside the legitimacy/efficiency of the said "wars", at least the question of affordability springs into mind.
With so many "czars" and so many "wars on...", I sorta find that the idea of war become more "acceptable" (in the people's minds) as the time passes.
I wonder how long 'til we reach the "we were always at war with eurasia" and/or Herman Kahn's"spasm or insatiate war"... in a period of bust, might not take too long.
If Google would think to address the market segments for both sexes, it should have called the OS "androgynoid" (just kiddingly accusing Google of sexism here).
Growing up reading 1984, I always fantasized about being Winston Smith. I wondered what I would do if I were placed in that situation. Now thanks to my government I can finally live out my fantasies. I just want to give a hearty Thank You to Ms Clinton. You have helped make my dreams become a reality.
And how do you like it? Just let me know if I can do something more for you?

PS. We may have a position for you in MiniLuv: on which side of it (employee or under treatment) depends on how good you are (hint: don't read/post about Wikileaks, we've always been at war with it).
Isn't it great, that threads like this can turn into open season on America and everyone can bash the shit out of the USA.
Whereas, even the contents of the Wikileaks (itself a very anti-American biased group) files show how fucked up the rest of the world is, and especially the Arab countries and North Korea.
But let's ignore that and continue to blame Bush. Err... I mean the US.
Nobody is blaming US, just the US govt.
You really think asking US diplomats to obtain card numbers and DNA sample of the UN personnel is ethical/moral/acceptable (as opposed to fucked up)?
Even if you don't believe in the State Department's right to keep secrets- and again, I'm not saying I do- from their point of view they do, and so for them to hire someone demonstrating a casual disregard for data secrecy would just be stupid.
The more the time passed, the more is about "us and them". Actually, govt against citizens, in the open: "if we -the govt - cannot trust you, you are with the citizens, not with the govt".
Yes, I realize it already was like this, the only difference: now it is in the open, no isolated on some obscure site/page about what can jeopardize your security clearance.
Then, I guess we'll have to wait for the update of these numbers (up to June 2010).
Until then, allow me to point that none of the links show that persons with the identity disclosed by the leaks were killed because of that. They do show concern (and the concerns are legitimate) and (possibly, maybe, if data is found) an assassination rate growing at the same moment as the leak.
(While the above would allow me, from outside, to say: it is likely the leak may contribute to the death of the Afghans working with US troops, there is a distance to saying for sure/categorically, many Afghans died because of the leaks. Thus, I'll reserve the right to form my opinion once enough data would be available. Of course, everybody is free to do as they wish).
Ye average American Joe might not want to eat cloned meat, but clones are already breeding like mad to produce more productive offspring.
Clones breeding like mad??? You know something that we don't?
'cause TFA mentions "surrogate mothers". To reach the breeding like mad level, I imagine one would need a "cloning vat" or something.
For the time being, the "economic efficiency" of cloning can't be better than by natural breeding, perhaps the "selectivity of the breeding" might have been improved – assuming that the clones really grow without other genetic troubles because of the process TFA "The professor, who plans to publish details about the Dollies in a scientific journal, said improvements in the technology raised the odds of clones being born alive and healthy but admitted the method was still not perfect."
Perhaps this new longitudinal study will give more insights on the ethics and health impacts of cloned meat.
Apologies for coming back again with a question: what longitudinal study you speak about?
Those numbers are completely meaning less to determine when we will run out.
Theoretically, you are right.

It would be advisable, based on this theory and the above poster's estimate for a rate of 20000/1, to invest in cinnamon plantations, but keep the following points in mind:
1. cinnamon is more renewable than the Earth's gold resource - advantage? Yes, suply limited only on short periods of time ("world cinnamon crisis" will be different than "world oil crisis")
2. on long term I reckon we'll still run out of Earth's gold sonner than we run out of cinnamon. Need to plan the exit strategy from the "cinnamon plantation investment" (or see what other metals in demand would "nano-particulate" with cinnamon).
Some other info to consider before deciding to invest:
a. estimate of the world's gold consumption for industrial purposes at the present 10% b. total gold demand for Q3 2010 - 992 tones with a Y2Y increase of 12% (the demand for jewellery increasing by 8% - 4 countries sucking in 63% from this - the ones less affected by the world crisis, US is not among them)
c. use of gold as nanoparticles here (a bit old, 2007). But a bit of google-fu would orient the savvy investor better.
