While this would be a very good source of geothermal power for us puny humans, I doubt that we could drill a hole wide enough to accommodate 1 cubic meter per second, which according to TFA, is the rate at which the magma chamber is growing.
Not long ago, in Chile, it was demonstrated that a deep hole wide enough for a man can be drilled reasonably quickly. That would be a hole with a diameter which is a significant fraction of a meter, which could handle a flow of 1 cubic meter per second for many materials. If the hole enlarges itself, somewhat more might be able to flow.
I'm sorry, but after reading the article, it appears that they will be charging money for information that should be, and probably already is, available to the general public.
The information about how to survive a crash might be available to the public, but what else does the airline know that affected their decision to offer this? I suppose I better add:-)
It's not that hard to make a bench top Faraday cage. Just make a wooden frame, and nail some copper mesh all over it. It won't be as good as the professional ones, but it doesn't need to be.
The problem is that people coming by your booth will now see a kludgy mess of wood and wire, instead of your nice, elegant demo.
That is what they see if you build it that way. If you instead put your demo inside a glass or plastic box, with metallic tint coating on the inside and bright lighting inside, they'll see your demo under glass with the sides covered with mirrors. Whether they realize that they're also looking through a mirror is irrelevant.
Two-dimensional thinking detected. He's restricting himself to the surface of the flat Earth, and ignoring what is not on this planet. Thus he is restricting his infinite numbers by not considering astronomical numbers.
What's the big deal about being "arrested"? Police (and others) use their power of arrest all the time. The big story will be if he is charged with something.
He won't get a charge. Neutrons don't carry a charge.
Broadcast radio and television signals are not wasted 100%. A few people do still listen and watch broadcasters, or at least that's what some bloggers say.
If you have a car with an electric source it is convenient to be able to direct the electricity where it is needed. I don't need an emergency generator often enough to own one, but it would be nice to be able to use my car that way. If the car can also be powered with gasoline, then it becomes more reliable in a likely emergency because it sometimes takes days to repair storm damage. I'm not intending to use it long-term, so I don't care how many miles per millimeter of tectonic movement I might be getting, I'd just want to avoid having to eat everything in the freezer within two days. As tempting as that sometimes might sound.
So I won't be able to watch TV, listen to the radio, nor use my cellphone when the warehouse next door is filled with RFID tags.
This also is only "everlasting" and "green" for as long as the nuclear power plants are feeding the broadcasters with cheap energy. Unless the antennas can generate enough energy from the cosmic microwave background radiation.

My bad. Mea culpa.
Redundant much? You said the same thing twice! That's more than once!
He was making sure that both the Mayans and Incas could understand him.

As for sirens, to quote Wikipedia: "In the United States, sirens are a largely disorganized warnings systems."

Two a year is a lot? Too small a sample to show a pattern.
Maybe he was a nerd, and the media just hasn't been mentioning that.

Which link in the /. story points at the detailed story which is being summarized? Are we supposed to read all of the government report?
Actually, you should don purple lights.
Rabbit season!
Do the devices unclip easily?
Dibs.
The summary is off by three orders of magnitude - after all, there is no air in 1000km to keep the water suspended.
Obviously, then, the water will fall down on the atmosphere. And give the ISS a pretty ice glaze.

The bamboo industry is just trying to get us to raise billions of panda, so they can get rich selling us the food.
Tonight, I'm going to exercise for 92 minutes. In 2.9 years, I'll again exercise for 92 minutes. Just do it.
Let us know when Google Shopping for Thorium shows us a kit.
But do these eggs taste good?
