The "proposal" will never get off the ground. The corporate fix will be in and they will get to the Librarian who will mysteriously retire well above his means.
(Unless the "Librarian" is the one from the movie and series, then the corporate shills will get their comeuppance.)
I built mine for better reception than the top of the line Wals-Mart crap.
Although I used real copper gauge wire instead of coat hangers. The hard part was finding a Balun. Then I realized my old kid's (moved out and gone away) Sega TV adapter with two Philips-Head screws did the trick.
I just watched a mandatory company video that stated company IT investment should be 2.2% of Sales Income (didn't say whether it was Net or Gross). If course it did not cite a source for that paradigm, it only stated it as fact. YMMV.
Yes, but did they SELL them all? Doesn't matter how many are made, they have to be sold also. (Of course I could be wrong here. How long is the waiting list?)

The intro should have been "Men" by Martin Mull.
(Part of which is known as the theme song for "Two and Half Men".)
Maybe it is the effect of the two Lazarus' trapped in the negative magnetic corridor trying to escape?
(Or is the plural of Lazerus, Lazeri?)
With deference to the earlier post "Everybody Dies" and Blake 7 (s/b "Blake's 7 btw).
Been done before, everyone in the audience, THUMBS DOWN.
Surprised you're the only one who brought this up. The literature quotient of slashdot subscribers has fallen.
Have you tried the "Antarctic Express" by Kenneth Hite?

Time to revive the years old NRK video of Medieval HelpDesk:

DaaS boot.
SInce Mars is too cold, all it needs is 150 years of industrialization to start "global warming".
And in the meantime, the smog in the industrial centers will make it seem "just like earth".
Just hit my 20 year benchmark.

And do they paint donuts?
I first heard "Good Enough for Government Work" 45 years ago and it was old then. Why the sudden umbrage over this obvious irony?

There's an old story about the students who went to study the phenomena surrounding Mt. St. Helens some years after it blew its top.
The professor pointed out some layered strata on a cut hillside with a long dark streak running from end to end.
He and asked the students to calculate "How long did it take for that dark streak to form in geologic time?"
The students gave their answers usually in the form of hundreds of thousands to millions of years.
The professor then told them it was formerly the parking lot asphalt of the National Park.

Steve Jackson's [was Metagaming] "Ogre" game becomes reality. Actually it is looking a lot more like Metagaming's "Rivets".
So no one noticed the obvious meme in shutting a Valve to turn off Steam?
Imaging a DRM with an infinite recursive loop causing an infinite amount of debt in order to pay for it!

And all four inventors were also heroes of the state! (Until purged.)
You can't be a MAD scientist unless you are a scientist, now can you?
It is the same paradigm as Dr. Evil and his eight years of evil medical school.
