This is not a new idea and with a fairly constant tone may be possible but a complete solution for any frequency, direction, range and environmental configuration will be incredibly hard. Different frequencies will bounce and be absorbed by different materials, ah differently.;-) So unless the damping tone is generated from the precise location as each 'annoying sound, a different calibration may be needed.
Influence will always occur, never take a single opinion as fact.

Popular Science, ya gotta luv'em. I just wish the track record was a bit better, after reading about the nextgen dirigibles off and on for years I'm just a bit disapointed, that sounded like so much fun. Probe in my head? Less so.
Recent topological cosmological theories suggest there universe is 'connected'. Thus the ends 'wrap' around like an n dimensional torus (doughnut) and if you travel all the way you are actually back where you started.
Takes nerve and madness, cable companies want something stable. At some point the execs can't take the volitility of the Showbiz life and either divest or quash the creativity to a degree that the former productions are just a memory.
Exec moans, "Why don't people like our great new movie 'Finding Nemos Second Cousin Twice Removed 3D'? It had the most expensive graphics ever produced, I just don't understand these people".
One of the reasons the Air Traffic Controller 'net' has not been hacked into is that much is incredibly archaic. Some portions run over an X.25 network! Let's see the script kiddies access a non-unix non-ms no-web non-tcp/ip box that you'd need volumes of hardcopy docs to access legally.
Easy in any given desolate arid desert. Really I'm not kidding, the eastern side of the'evergreen state' is flat flat flat, rural and dry. None of those pesky buildings, a few apple trees but no real hills even. Plains of Gondor folks.:-)
15 Billion for a tunnel. Drive in. Stop the car, draw a chalk line arround the car. The cost of that space is more than you will make in your life. Probably more than all your close friends will make in there ENTIRE lives. Someone made a killing!
Yes, quite to the point. I wasn't sure I agreed with the methodology but the silliness surrounding the poor researchers was amazing. It seems the major initiative in the *war on terror* is to take nail scissors away from me as I board a plane. The one thing that worries me about the terrorists is the folks 'defending' me.
Remember the maid robot on the Jetsons, looked crazy with a single wheel? She could really move, now all we need is to add the smarts from the Israeli chopper, a duster activator and volia!

I just wonder why technical journalists were not represented in this survey... or terrorists, or garbage men, or grave diggers.
I'd take any of these a whole lot more seriously if there was at least a token description of the questions and methodology.

Mod me down, off topic troll
I kinda like this one, but not enough to not slashdot them. A cool pun, a funky gui, what more could you want in a nextgen search engine.

Just restrict web publishing to experts or canned 'blog' sites, there you go.
Any browser should make a best-attempt and rendering any site.

It's just that then I'd have to go out into that scary sunlight. Eeewww.
Read the article, it's by an American Nut Case. Frankly it was probably pretty funny in the original language!
Yea, no really, how did such a great troll get a top level posting?
Shouldn't each rover be required to have a different OS? I mean this must just quash the Martian software industry.

NYC has charm, just that you and anyone involved with Linux can't afford it. (Just as your limo driver to take you to a charming resturant).

Nuff said!
Oh gosh, just one semicolon out of place...

Kinda embarrasing that I've not know about this site or had it come up in a google search. Hmm.
