Actually, varying the frequency would throw them off more. Doppler radar operates off of frequency shifts (the doppler effect).
It would be easier to shield whatever rooms you wanted to conceal with aluminum siding or aluminum foil inside the rooms. No grounding necessary. At microwave frequencies, it's pretty much blocked without having to send it to ground.
It is interesting to note that UFO sightings increased significantly when the Close Encounter flicks were out. To most people, UFO sightings are a fashionable "me too" thing. Usually a good litmus test is to see if the "sighter" believes in numerous conspiracy theories.
If life is out there, it's either much more primitive than us, or much more advanced. SETI hasn't turned up didley, so either life out there (within our reach) hasn't discovered radio waves, or they've moved on to another medium that we haven't discovered yet.
Everything in this world is explainable, you just don't have all the information. (Except for that new Coke flavor thing they created awhile back...why did they do that ?:-)
Articles like this reinforce my belief that you need absolutely no skills whatsoever other than knowing how to do hunt-and-peck typing to be an information technology journalist.
No real substance and basically no earth-shattering conclusions or words of wisdom that the previous 50 writers haven't mentioned. While Metcalfe is a weenie, at least he trys to justify his job by writing flamebait material.
Thanks for the newsflash, Jesse. Next week's articles entitled: "The Pope is Catholic" and "OJ Killed Two People". Details at 11:00.
If Pepsi advertised that drinking Pepsi would prevent heart attacks, cancer, AIDS, and improve health in general while also being a perfect fuel to heat your home and power your car, would this be deceptive advertising or are we to assume that any resonable person would know this is obviously false ?
This decision clearly shows that corporate America can make any offer or claim without having to be responsible for the validity of it.
One thing that concerns me about all of this is that Linux grows too fast and becomes somewhat of a fad. NT rode the "fad train" for some time. Managers and VPs were recommending it before the people in the trenches knew what was going on.
Ironically, Linux is being driven from the opposite end - the admins and UNIX gurus are pushing forward. These IPOs have the potential to push Linux into the spotlight too soon, bringing it to the attention of the IT managers who will attempt to deploy Linux in situations where certain key features are immature or not optimized, giving NT fans ammo to fire back.
We need to avoid IPO frenzies and keep Linux on track, as it has been.

Microsoft and the Record Industry both get screwed in one day.
There is a God !!!

Microsoft is absolutely right in this case, but their intentions are definitely not in parallel with the spirit of OSS. Here's the plan :
1. Give it out as a free goodie.
2. Package it in Windows.
3. When everyone has it, throw proprietary extensions on it. Remaining non-M$ clients have to switch to the M$ client to get the cool functionality.
4. Rename it, integrate it into everything from Bob to Office to MSN.
5. Hey guys, look at this neat new product we created ! Aren't we innovative ?
