Nice idea. If say the inter-probe communication distance was 1AU, and you halved that for safety, it would take about 22 fleets space.5 AU out. Alpha Centauri being about 11 AU distant.
And that is with a retroreflector, not a sail designed to impart momentum. Additionally, the laser would not be on for much of the journey, only while accelerating to cruising speed.
You cannot use entanglement to communicate at least an not currently understood. A receiver reading the spin or other property of a particle cannot determine if the measurement they make is a result of taking the measurement or the particle having been changed at a distance.
I love the idea. However with a device that small, how do we get a signal back? It will not be able to generate a strong radio or light signal to send back. Would we be able to use existing radio telescopes to pick it up, or would we need better receiving infrastructure?
Because people having fun and not tithing us is upsetting.
Otherwise stated, because fuck you that's why.
Imagine if this had stopped 'Star Trek" conventions through the years. Would the franchise be nearly as popular as it was/is?
Here is a clue for the 1% media fucktards and their lawyer army. Something that gets people engaged and excited about your supposed "IP" is free word of mouth advertising. Word of mouth advertising is free, and far more effective than any other kind that you pay dearly for. The trade of is you cannot tightly control the message. Boo hoo.
I work for a small local IT firm. Many of our clients are law firms, including our largest client. That one is okay but demanding. The rest are exactly as states, cheap, will not take ownership of policy or user created issues, late with pay, etc.
Everytime I go to the chrome web store I see questionable apps and extensions. Close named clones, etc. It seems like the web store is curated much less actively than the android app store, and even that one gets junk through.
Just go and do a few searches and see for yourself.
Actually it is more like selling a ford pinto, but stating that it can out accelerate the ferrari, and has a top speed better than the ferrari (only when falling out of a plane).
A thousand times this. Most (not all, as in severe rape and snuff kink and underage) human trafficking will go away if prostitution were legal. However, street level prostitution happens in plain view, the others do not. They are just added by someone for PR purposes.. "look at this guy doing good against teen prostitute traffickers..." When in reality all he has caught are likely some drug addicts feeding their addiction.
But, like the war on drugs, the prohibition favors the entrenched interests.
Correct, but even in the absence of plant problems, 1MB upstream is often not enough. Especially at times when cloud sync or backup programs are running. In addition, when the upstream becomes 80-90% saturated downstream speeds and latency collapse into a mess of uselessness.
In my market with CenturyLink many rural areas get slightly better service, unless you are at the very extent of line distance. This is because, at least in the city center, the lines to the CO are buried, old, and have definite plant problems. It is getting harder and harder to find a decent pair anywhere near downtown or the north side of town. However, CenturyLink and the city are unwilling to undergo the expense of digging up and replacing that infrastructure. At least in that area we have Ting trying to provide fiber, but as much as I like them, I hear they are not doing well, and have not extended out to my neighborhood. To add insult to injury, as soon as they started signing up real customers, Comcast moved in with a fiber plan to compete. Most likely Comcast will compete enough to drive Ting out (unless google buys them), then slow or stop new deployment.
Oracle has always had predatory sales and support as well as a culture of greed and rent-seeking.
One thing is certain though, they rook a hit in the 2000-2001 tech bubble, but in the 2008 recession hardly a nudge. It seems that the shareholders like the way the company is run.
These women have the choice and freedom to decline the calls. I was in virginia prison for a decade. There are people who prey on a caring wife/mother etc wasting money with constant calls. These are a small portion and your view is biased by your job in only seeing those that went to collection. I knew far more people that called rarely due to high rates, or sent some of their extremely low inmate pay to family to!cover costs of calls. In Virginia formexample inmate pay was 0.23 to 0.45 per hour inluess youhad an industry job. Those could go up to 2 per hour and were very limited, IE hard to get.
As for myself, I almost never called as my main contact, my mother, moved to England, and international calls were not allowedexcept from a staff phone, prepaid with supervision. I didn't care!about the supervision, but none of the staff knew or were willing to help with this
Make no mistake, prisons phones arema profiteering racket, so is prison medical, commissary, industry.. Corruption is incredibly rampant, so is regulatory capture and more...

First opera, now Firefox. Is IE next? The end is nigh!

Let me guess, you are an expert theorist? Or are you an experimentalist?

For the same reason when ICE cars were new, you had people complaining that the gas tank was a bomb waiting to happen.
Change is scary it is unpredictable. It is even worse when you have a vested interest in the status quo.
Nice prior art find Rei. But we all know Lucas stole (synthesized) most of his ideas from other works.

Horse farts in the dirigible. Again.
Of course the name has -nothing- to do with it.
Look at parents sig. He wants to hold victims accountable but not himself. Typical entitled attitude. Move along.

If you can’t smash everything it needs to work with a hammer, you don’t own it.
So, since I cannot smash gas stations and the petroleum industry with a hammer I do not own my car?
