If you can't see or communicate with the car, then I see a certain futility in that, yeah..
Any chance you might see a big sail in low Earth orbit? Optically or with radar? Especially if it's tumbling out of control, reflecting in random directions?
It used to be that government research became public domain. But now, the researcher gets to keep material private and what is given to the government is only for the government's use.

However if the government has used my tax dollars to fund research then ALL results should be available to me FREE (as in beer).
The policy used to be that the results of all publicly-funded research were public domain.
Now, only the results which are given to the government are available, and only to the government. The researcher is only required to give the requested research results to the government, and the government only gets the right to use the results within the government.
The researcher can keep private data and procedures created during the research. Makes it kind of hard to confirm the results.
He had to have the airflow going in that direction because he's in the Southern Hemisphere.
Actually, there is an advantage:
Standard tower motherboard configuration has the top of the motherboard toward the left, so he's blowing air on the top of the motherboard and peripheral cards. The components on top are getting a more even airflow than is the bottom of the board. Actually, due to turbulence from each fan, "even" is probably not accurate...more like "furiously erratic".
The fans on one side near the floor are sucking in. So the first time you turn it on, any dirt underneath is blown up and a significant fraction goes in one side. After that, only fresh dirt/dust bunnies on one side gets sucked in. And all the potato chips which approach the top fans.
But that's how the planet express ship drive works. They can't both do that...
Sure they can. But if they're both running at the same time, the Universe obviously has to grow larger between them. Scientists say the Universe has grown larger. Obviously that is what happened.

How convenient, a call center for stolen credit card services. Why didn't the article give the phone number?
This is a test in LEO. Unless it works too well.

I hope they included a timer which will deploy the sail even without a command, just in case a problem in communication/control were to happen.

For example, there has been a refusal to disclose details behind the "hockey stick" global warming graph. And right now a U.S. government contractor is busy running climate simulations for a U.N. global warming group, and the latter gets to choose what to publish.

Indeed. I didn't know about these pants. Now I'll have to go look at them next time I'm shopping.
Tie it to a portable air conditioner which has a handle on top.

Actually it blows air out the bottom too.
He better check that it stays in one place.
I see no mention in the article of his weight.

The Death Star instead moved the Universe around it.
It is obvious that there are still people who treat it as the center of the Universe.
