It just isn't intended to jam or block wireless communications!
Do you see the word "intended" anywhere in the law? The law stated "designed" not "intended".
there is no practical way of outlawing test equipment.
There is a practical way and it is called licensing/certification. All RF transmitters must be certified to comply with FCC regulations. A jammer would not be certified if it put out enough noise to be effective as a jammer. So the FCC certifies the testing jammer and only allows sale to a person with a license to use that testing jammer.
Again, same analogy: it's illegal to sell your gun to somebody if you know or have reason to believe they intend to go commit murder with it.
The gun laws you are referring to pertain to the manufacture and sale by a private individual. Manufacture and sale by a company is very different. It is Federal law that requires a company that wants to manufacture and/or sell firearms to hold a Federal Firearms License. It is also illegal for private individuals to knowingly sell guns to certain categories or people (EG felons, mentally disable, etc).
To the best of my knowledge, they're not even illegal as defined by law
According to this "[f]ederal law prohibits the marketing, sale, or use of a transmitter (e.g., a jammer) designed to block, jam, or interfere with wireless communications". Section 203(b) prohibits making onefor use in the US too.
Section 302(b) of the Communications Act: “No person shall manufacture, import, sell, offer for sale, or ship devices or home electronic equipment and systems, or use devices, which fail to comply with regulations promulgated pursuant to this section.”
Just transport a small herd of caribou, which can forage on the lichens.
You are just being silly now.
Lichens can tolerate much more radiation than most other plants.
You didn't even skim the article you posted.
In space, the lichens turned dormant and did not metabolize, but once returned to Earth
If you missed it "dormant" means "not growing". Sure it may survive the radiation but it will not grow. Another point is that the experiment was done for 15 days and took place on the ISS which orbits inside the Van Allen Belt.
According to this reflectors are not sufficient to stop the harmful radiation.
This might lead to he building of growth chambers under a radiation shield comprised of regolith with light provided from collectors located on the surface. NASA-sponsored research has shown that low power LEDs (light emitting diodes) could find applicability as a low power option for illuminating Martian crops.
A little research into your theories before posting might be in order.
To separate the O from the C, you can use electricity from PV panels
It takes a huge amount of energy for that process. It is not as easy as separating water. Considering how far Mars is from the sun that would be a lot of solar panels.
crops growing in pressurized greenhouses
Which would die due to harmful radiation from the sun. On earth that radiation is redirected by the Van-Allen belt and Mars does not have one of those.
or lichens growing in unpressurized greenhouses.
Lichens grow extremely slowly and are not a viable food source. Lichen would also have the same radiation issue as plants.
According to this oxygen is the fourth most common gas in the atmosphere at only 0.145% couple that with the atmospheric pressure of Mars being only.6% of earth leaves very little oxygen in the atmosphere. The article refer to the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere as "trace".
The oxygen in the dirt is bound up in oxides and may be difficult to extract.
Never challenge an Aspi in spelling. We check things like that. There is no b in Asperger. I remember the spelling because is sounds like someone with diarrhea.
Earned Income Tax Credit EITC is available to disabled taxpayers as well as to the parents of a child with a disability.If you retired on disability, taxable benefits you receive under your employer’s disability retirement plan are considered earned income until you reach minimum retirement age. The EITC is a tax credit that not only reduces a taxpayer’s tax liability but may also result in a refund. Many working individuals with a disability who have no qualifying children, but are older than 25 and younger than 65 do -- in fact -- qualify for EITC. Additionally, if the taxpayer’s child is disabled, the age limitation for the EITC is waived. The EITC has no effect on certain public benefits. Any refund you receive because of the EITC will not be considered income when determining whether you are eligible for benefit programs such as Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid.
Canada or any country where Asperger's Syndrome is a recognized disability. To get a tax deduction the disability need only be a partial disability in that it has a significant impact on your life.
Sorry but you theories do not match my experience.
"Aspergers Syndrome" diagnosis is clearly out of control when someone with some nervousness or anxiety is suddenly a "syndrome".
You also clearly do not understand the difference between a behaviour and a disorder. A disorder is a behaviour that gets in the way of doing things you want to do. Nervousness is a behaviour. Nervousness to the point that one can not carry on a conversation is a disability. You also have no idea what I experience. A barely controllable rage response in the face of a minor confrontation is far from "some nervousness or anxiety".
You remove the fear, you remove your "abilities" too.
I disagree. I use many of my "different" talents when I feel no anxiety at all. In fact, my ability to find and follow detail works best when I am calm.
They have nothing to do with Autism.
Anxiety is one small part of Autism and may or may not be present in all people on the Autism spectrum. There are may other symptoms and behaviours that make up the diagnosis.
I have Asperger's Syndrome and "normal" is not my goal. In fact, if I was neurotypical I would not be as skilled a programmer. I would like to control the situations where the Asperger's gets in the way of doing something I want to do. Too many time by body has been in full fight/flight and a small voice in my mind has said "Chill out dude. It not that important". The fight response has lost me a few jobs. Controlling the extremes is far from being "normal".
Wow you must have a thing against Monsanto. They are an agribusiness and not a pharmaceutical company. Ritaline was invented by CIBA, now Novartis Corporation.
As someone with Aspergers Syndrome this would be a godsend for me. There are many times where my adrenaline level is far above what is needed for the situation. It is extremely frustrating when most of my body is in full fight/flight response and there is a small voice in the back of my head saying "chill out dude, it's not that important". The problem is that the adrenal response usually overrides the cognitive response and bad things happen.
I just hope it does not impact the good things about autism such as the heightened ability to find and keep track of details.
The Swedish government is not in the furniture business. Trademark is by area of operation. The main test is the probability of causing confusion, as to ownership, in consumers. Since the Ikea Hackers site looks very much like the Ikea site and they bot deal with furniture it is reasonable to believe that they both are owned by the same entity. It is not reasonable to associate a national flag and a private furniture manufacturer.

Like this guy
It will be like the illegal drug market
The difference being that the drug market is very profitable. The jammer market? Not so much.

I am not sure if you are joking but a doubt going sleeveless has anything to do with jammers. Also, jammers are not weapons as defined by law.
I thought about that too but I bet that they slow the gyros as the vehicle speed increases.

I could not have said it better myself.
he felt compelled to finish his story no matter how long it was
That is generally called "closing a file" and is something that hs to be done. I too use my "inner voice" to finish things.

Here is a better link

Note the bolded sentence.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did a diagnosis cost?
I live in Canada so the diagnosis was free. It just took time to find a specialist.
As we were doing research about it, I realized all these books were talking about me also.
Aspergers has a strong genetic link. This has been a barrier to diagnosis as many parents have been reluctant to admit they are "different" too.

It is a Canada Revenue Agency Disability Tax Credit as Asperger's Syndrome is a recognized disability.

It's a heightened stress response on a cellular level to cellular stresses.
I am hoping that the reduction in cell stress response will have a similar reduction in adrenal stress response.
If you diagnosed yourself, you definitely don't have Asperger's Syndrome.
I was diagnosed by a psychologist and expert in Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. I actually get a tax deduction due to it.

Juniper products are with few exceptions a million times better.
Exaggerate much?
