So, you broke the law by going two mph over the speed limit, the cop asks you to step away from the car and executes you because the magnitude of the crime dosen't matter.
I disagree, this is much more like tapping a trunk and applying a voice recognition algorithim. If I encrypted my e-mail and they cracked the 1024 bit crypto then that would be like opening sealed envlopes. The post office analogy would be more like all post cards going through a central office that read them to see if they were sent to a certain person. The FBI does not, in all likelyhood, have the ability to open my PGP crypto so if I want to send something I use that. Close the envelope and seak it good, then they won't want to hassel with it.
As a member of the Palo Alto High School FIRST: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology team I can personaly attest to the fact that in the team the ratio of boys to girls is 5:1. We would be happy to have more famales on the team but they don't want to join.
You can see things down to ~1.5 micron with a 400x light microscope.
The microscope could be constructed so that the slide fit perfectly into a holder even if most of the information was destroyed it is likely that someone would figure out how to put the two together.
It would be simple enough to have a diagram of a person looking at one of the disks through a microscope. One of the biggest benifits of this is that there is no need for any other power source then the sun.
Your comment shows one of the largest misconceptions about the legality of MP3's. Since copying music and dowloading music (in any format) is only illegal if you are breaking a copywrite agreement it is perfectly rational that >Most people still don't believe that copying music or downloading MP3s is ILLEGAL! I think that people need to understand the issues of copywrite violation not just that they need to avoid MP3s
Oh, by the way, no apostrophe in MP3s it's not posessive.
Unless both the shuttle and the ground stations use highly directional antennas and some sort of source tracking system (possibly using some sort of phase cancelation) to only pick up signals from one point there will always be the risk of someone just diretly broadcasting info to the shuttle. While this is incredably hard to do/ improable think about how much damage one could do if one say, brought the shuttle down on NYC.

I dislike the Microsoft Corperate structure but hating the employees is a bit to much. The OS might bite but I have a problem with someone who makes such a broad comment.
Think of the havoc you could play with an EMP weapon. The refering article says that the inventor thought of this when he found that you could "hear" a lightning strike in Miami from LA. Our current grid keeps outages local. When you have equipment designed in a way that they bypass the transformer problem then they are not protected by those transformers. Something that currently would take out 30 Km could now take out an entire grid. Network security also becomes an issue fiber is nice for long range comms. becouse it is nearly imposible to remotely tap. With this new system an inductance tap becomes not only possibable but easy (think RPM counter for a car). Anyone plugged into any point in the national power grid can moniter anyone else. # of adresses for use Q.

The IT department would probably be happy to have someone else to take care of their cluster for them while they deal with stupid user's errors.
Why are we arguing about this unrelated topic anyways these propane fueled cannons are cool!! [8)=
Yup, way to hopeful.

The hope is hope that some remanant of the languages remain so that if only 1 of the 300 are useful, translating between the others would be easy.

I assume that the recorded number of bursts will go up once the sats. start broadcsting data hourly instead of daily. Cool tech though.
