This is a classic and not new. I have seen the use of gummy bears to beat fingerprint readers etc, which are all smudge style attacks. The problem with their paper is, it is not practical. If the touchscreens have smudges, they are going to have a lot of them! The problem with their experiment is that they do not take into account the amount of use and abuse the touchscreens get. They only have 'holding the phone up to face' action. So, if somebody ONLY uses their touchscreen Android phone for only unlocking their phone and holding it up to their face, they deserve to have their unlock pattern stolen...
I would recommend the software oscilloscope if the experiments you are doing mostly are related to the digital circuits with low voltages etc. The following book has components that you need to make your own oscilloscope using your laptop or PC serial port along with software. HTH.

Correction: It uses the on board sound card and not the PC serial port.

I think just this data center and the observatory is enough to bring down the south pole ice caps...
If this is taking place at the south pole, shouldn't this be concerning?
Also, most of the IT staff can manage the center remotely with a minimum number of people required at base camp. With regards to power, I believe geothermal is a possibility but I don't know how that would interfere with their observations.

Forgot why I watched it, but this is just like the movie Stealth... except without the AI.
