Not as far as the mass is concerned. From its POV it doesn't "feel" anything - at least not until a few moments later when the Earth suddenly slams into it.
Does it? Where does it state that they made up all their numbers?
Its based entirely on made up BS with no actual science behind it.
No actual science? How did you come to that conclusion? You checked, did you, that they used no science at all? Or did you count all the science and find out that they didn't use enough?
Did they, perhaps, accidentally simulate gravity using an inverse-cube law?
On the other hand it is not difficult for life to screen strong cosmic radiation, such as in the ocean and deep in the earth crust where most of the biomass exists.
That way there is no practical way to buy low sell high.
Isn't there?
Don't scalpers make their money because they still have tickets to sell once the event is (directly) sold out? No-one buys from a scalper when there are still tickets available direct.
If I buy 100 tickets at first-day prices under your scheme, what's to stop me still charging more than I paid for them to the people who've missed out now all the other tickets have been sold?
So, translating "squiggle.wombat.banana" into Spanish would lead to a different location.
I think they've tried to avoid transaltion clashes, so it wouldn't translate to a valid address at all.
And without that, I don't see the benefit, really.
The benefit is it works as proposed if two people speak the same language. And the kind of people who'd find this most useful are the kind of people less likely to need to cross any language barriers.
I meant it doesn't work between speakers of different languages, i.e. translating purple.monkey.dishwasher into Chinese won't get you the same square (it probably won't even be valid).
and you actually expected some official act from a cop?
Yes, and he actually got an official act from a cop. Can't you read?
I've already given a few license plate numbers via regular digital camera to the local police, who haven't arrested them, but paid them a friendly visit. Seems to help a lot.
I've reported a few people over the years for (what I considered to be) dangerous driving and/or driving while using phones. My local cops are more than happy to take the details and call up the drivers. They've usually made it plain that it was unlikely to lead to any official sanction, although on a couple of occasions what I've reported has concerned them enough to ask if I was prepared to state such-and-such in court (I was; I didn't end up doing so).
Slashdot Mirror
From the article:
[Caption] Spy plane: The operator is able to locate a person's location quickly but cannot listen to calls
The operator is able to locate a person's location quickly although they are not able to listen to calls.
[Caption] Inside look: Customized controls in the spy plane allow operators to listen in on tens of thousands of phone conversations in one go around
So which is it? Can they capture conversations or not?
They also don't seem entirely sure if their facts are facts:
It was equipped with 'Dirtbox' technology which can scan tens of thousands of phones in one go to identify suspects
The craft would likely have been equipped with 'Dirtbox' technology which can scan tens of thousands of phones in one go to identify suspects.
If I place a mass in the air it accelerates...

Or is is an "overachieving planet"?
Won't find anyone overachieving on the editing team at Slashdot.
I'd hazard a guess that they've thought about it longer and harder than you have.
Germany Fires Up Bizarre New Fusion Reactor
Could at least give a hint as to what's so bizarre about it in the summary.
Y'know, as opposed to all those boring run-of-the-mill fusion reactors...
You knew what it meant. I knew what it meant. Everyone knew what it meant.
What else could it have meant?
But the same statement still applies.
Does it? Where does it state that they made up all their numbers?
Its based entirely on made up BS with no actual science behind it.

And that's why I'm staying in the basement.
I don't think it has anything to do with the Drake equation.

you think...
Opinion as fact, welcome to slashdot.
You do realise that the very words "I think..." are exactly what mark that out as an opinion, and not a statement of fact?

Keep stringing words together. You may actually hit on something that makes sense one day.
