Less known, but on the plus side... God will not interfere with SKA; failing that, the churches would pay.
Seriously, if you disagree with someone point out the problems, don't start by insulting them.
Times change, old man, I lived long enough to get used to it myself. Being called a geek is no longer an insult, nowadays it seems to denote people that are bright in some domain without caring too much... (including but not limited to the style).
It seems to me that most scientists/engineers worry about the issue being discussed not how the person presented the information.
T's funny mate... I mean, why did you mind my choice of presenting the correction (as well as pointing out that, if indeed a scientist, more care should be paid to what/how one cites, at the risk of loosing "face" among your peer scientists and scientific journals)?
don't really care about the looks, just about the code, but I do claim to be a computer scientist
Maybe I really got quite old... in my time, the computer scientists cared more about algorithms than the code.
What I find interesting with this is that some "magic physics" theories postulates funny things to be possible at some ~50 tesla strenght. Probably won't show up anything, but testing them to falsify is always a noble goal.
They went to pulsed 200T in 1950-ies (see the MK2 in 1956).

In the 1880s Giovanni Schiaparelli mapped the planet more accurately, and suggested that Mercury's rotational period was 88 days, the same as its orbital period due to tidal locking.
Seems plausible given I am a computer scientist and not an astrophysicist.
Seems plausible that you are a computer geek: there's a bug in your citation (scientists wouldn't do it, they live or die on publishing; nobody would read articles based on old references). The same source brings some "news" about the rotational period being 58.7 Earth days and the "tidal lock" being actually a spin-orbit resonance with a 3:2 ratio (1 "year" = 1.5 "days").
Stop and think about how our current Internet is cabled. Now, imagine an increase in competition in at the ISP level. Pairing agreements could be created by simply directing your networked neutrino transmitter to an agreed up location.
Can't! At most one can hope: transmit along a pre-agreed direction - everyone on this direction will be able to intercept the transmission (no more warrants for wiretapping necessary).
No more weak signals because something is blocking line of transmission to the nearest tower.
No... but I can jam your connection from the other side of the world. Also, wire-(err...neutrino-beam)-tapping will require no warrant, your phone will be shouting publicly already.
It's over a year now, dust settled... so was Aaron Barr/HBGary a joke? (from the PoV of services, of course it was... but how come powerful institutions came to use or attempt to use them?)

An important attribute for one of the world's strongest adhesives is that SpyCatcher and SpyTag won't bond to fingers - they will only stick to each other. Being the basis of an adhesive, however, the adhesive carriers will have to bond to other materials, as SpyTag and SpyCatcher cannot.
Thus, they found an interesting nano hook-and-loop, but they are yet to solve how to bind the hook and the loop to the parts that need gluing?

And how about replacing rare earth metals used as magnets?
Superconductor electro-magnets are not permanent ones - the moment you tap into their stored field, it decays.
SMES.

So what? Are names now subject to copyright?
Stupid or Greedy? I am not sure which.
Being independent, why not both?

Schneier and Chuck Norris don't need to communicate that often these days. Lucky us!
Bush was an idiot. Harper is not. In some ways that is very good, and in others very bad...
Among others, Bush was a very good nucular scientist.
your phone will be shouting publicly already.
But it will be protected by industry standard ROT13, so you can not read it.
Right... at this insane baud-rate, can't use anything but ROT13.

I, for one, think that anything with the potential for better internet access X feet below the water is an excellent idea.
How do you know the location of the sub? Or do you propose the emitter broadcasting in 4 x PI solid angle (what stops others doing the same)?
You man, don't know anything about analog current and digital one..
Yes! Digital current!!! How about feeding the computers with AC at a frequency of whatever clock ticks/sec the CPU needs?
(duck... stop shooting)
The shift form pubic to private is
Never other than private my form pubic was, my young padwan, shift it back not needed is.
Send the banksters there.
Excuse me... that's quite an expensive way to lose a load of night soil. Think again, please.
But I'd bet the Chinese are considering mining operations off planet
I find the above quote a little bit too ironic
Speaking of mining and ores, I find yours a bit... (how to put it?)... pun-ic?
The last time this happened an entire nation was allowed free patents and copyrights when the USA lost.
[citation needed] Please, I'm not sarcastic, just interested.
I guess we're going to get Internet-screwed by the U.*. one way or the other.
(Either U.S. or U.N.)
Would you be willing to give UK a try?
Would you please rephrase the above with HBGary and Aaron Barr instead?

A flatworm only has, maybe, a few hundred brain cells, but if they get regenerated are they a "copy", or just "new"?
They are a pirated copy.

So, only the transmission step to be solved.
