if i remember my physics correctly, the closer you are to an object the stronger the gravity.
now, all you have to do to make "gravitational vibrations" is to move the object towards and away from the object you want to send information to. and also it isn't really a "bitch to find a sensor" we do have instruments designed to measure gravity. maybe they aren't fast enough to measure the gravity waves in this example, but the point is that it exists. and just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean it is impossible...remember how slow computers were 20 years ago?
so given the assumption that Gravity is instananeous then faster than light communication is possible!
not really. it just takes that far of a spread for them to be 95% sure.
they might be able to say the universe between 14 and 16 billion years, but then they would probably only be something like 75% sure.
the larger the range the more sure they are. i could say that i guess you are between 11 and 22 years old, but i am only 80% sure.
the point is, that they are trying to say that there is a 5% chance that the real age of the universe is outside of the 11.2 and 20 billion year range.
i don't think it is too common on a commercial jet, but i bet it is a more common private jets and smaller planes although it is still probably a small occurance.
i wasn't entirely clear myself with some of my post i guess.
i was trying to say maybe they should put remote controls in planes for the event that something does happen to the pilots. it may be difficult to fly by remote, but at least then there may still be a chance to land it safely if something happened to the pilots.
off course you would also have to take precautions so it can't be hijacked remotely. but that should really be trivial if you give the pilots ability to override all remote signals
and how would you feel if the pilot and copilot died during the flight? at least with the remote control, the control might possibly be able to bring you in for a safe landing...
but they meant to crash the 707 and it did crash, so i don't exactly see how it is a failure...so what if the pilot is bad at darts and missed the bullseye...
[rant] just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean it can't be done.
in the 80's we thought 100mhz couldn't be broken. in the 90's we thought 1000mhz couldn't be broken. and i am sure in the 00's we will find out how to break 10,000mhz if not 100,000mhz
this whole article is redundant, it seems to be repeated every 5 years --me, 2002.12.11. we will call this "My law on Moores law"
also mhz is a poor measure of speed anyway. it is like trying to measure how fast your car is by how many rpms the engine can turn!
patents don't last thousands of years, so in theory the blueprints for the miscroscope will be in the public domain by then...i think the current limit is 28 years?
on the other hand the copyrights on the data stored on the platter may very well last thousands of years given current trends so therefore you will most likely be arrested for breaking the DMCA-y3k when you try reading the disk in a thousand years
i have had a PVR for the last 15 years, it can be programmed to record all the shows i watch, i can skip commercials if i want, and i can even trade shows that other friends have recorded, yet there doesn't seem to be much controversy over it...at least at this time...it goes by another 3 letter acronym, i think you have heard of it, it is called the VCR.
Slashdot Mirror
everything is useful to someone.
but not necesarily useful to everyone.
i have prior art! i was distributing crapy files on p2p long before they ever came around!
yeah, i used to think that too, but then i realized i was a nerd and that no woman is ever going to go near my apartment much less my computer
YEAH! they are all asocial nerds!
That is why i always read slashdot. we don't have to worry about people like that around here
why would a care about some stupid rfid i have to get close to your tire to read?
why not just read your license plate?
-1 redundant
why bother getting some stupid transmitter and looking at your damn tires when i can just read the license plate?
but we can alter gravity! well sort of...

a Supreme court justice owns a copyright...and he just voted on a case about copyrights!
there is a clear conflict of interest here!

i don't know, i don't fly much.

no problem!

you want to know how?
i have one word google
