You might want to add a whole-house surge protector to your breaker panel. That's slower to react than the consumer protectors, but can take a larger surge. The smaller and faster protectors will protect until the big boy kicks in, and then the big one is protecting the weaker ones. Your stuff is more likely to survive closer hits that way.
We tried to pump water past the focal point, but it takes a pretty powerful pump to get water 8 feet into the air, and if the water stalls, you get steam shooting out which you cannot turn off.
Convection.
Use a water tank higher than the dish, with a low drain tube and a higher-connected hot water intake. Boiler needs hot water output tube near the top, and few dips to trap the flow (best to have no dips, so there can't be a steam vapor lock). Hot water intake to tank should be a manifold - vertical tube with tank connections at several heights - so there is always a connection below water level. Tank should have a pressure relief valve.
If you can arrange flexible plumbing connections, consider having the boiler on a weighted lever so the boiler can only remain at the focal point when it is filled with water. Use a counterweight for this and not a spring, as a spring can fail.
Is there a caption or story behind this ? I have worked on asteroids, and I have no real idea what is being portrayed.

Some reports state there was a change during certain months, while other reports state a difference between summer and winter. It would be interesting if the behavior is the same in July in the southern hemisphere as in December in the northern hemisphere.
Is there a law which makes the owner of the car responsible for speeding violations? If not, then you'll need to prove who was driving. Does the law accept photographic evidence from civilians? Does a policeman have to witness a violation of speed limits?
And I think that you're describing are called "speed cameras", because they photograph speeders. Radar can only detect speed, not whether one is driving well.
Space exploration has to be a prequel to colonization. Otherwise we're all just sitting at the bottom of our gravity well, waiting for the asteroid. We should instead be on the asteroids... preferably not one that's going to hit a planet.
Yes, book or periodical indexing software may be suitable. Just pick one with keyword support and an assortment of search fields.
If the individual article summaries are also made available on individual pages, let Googlebot index them and people will be able to discover relevant individual articles through Google as well. Then anyone looking for something covered by an article will discover your index, as well as which issue of the magazine they need.
Flee a glacier... do you realize you could push your house faster than the glacier will move towards you?

Assume a basic building unit of a plastic floating barrel and a square plastic platform to sit on top of it. Assume that 40kg of plastic are used in the barrel/platform and it will provide all of the necessary flotation for a square meter chunk of island.
Remember that your barrel is built of plastic which breaks down in seawater and sunlight. You'll have to keep replacing barrels.
Build an island out of plastic which degrades into microscopic particles of plastic, and you'll have an island which turns into microscopic particles of plastic. At least they'll always have work to do.

All the Mac and Linux machines run forever, so they don't need any shutdown patents anyway.
Without prisons, the punishment for violating the rules will be that you have to wear two GPS trackers.

You're right. He should add 61 more meters to his dish, then he'll be all set.

I've found these variations reported as early as 2008, so predictions should have been made before 2008.
Reversed in the southern hemisphere. I haven't waded through this research to see whether they included hemispheric seasonal differences.
This is what happens when politicians realize they can buy votes with bread, circuses, and helium.

No, that was someone else.
Whatever this story is about, why won't my laptop display it on its monitor? :-)
Sure they did. They predicted it in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Now that it happened they claim that they got it right.

At least that's what they're telling you. Just don't look.
Orion drive. It's the only way to be sure your six-story-tall ship gets there quickly.

Well, look at all the other luggage you're already carrying around.
So, how many Twiggys has the glacier lost?
First you'll have to tell us how much mass this one has lost. I don't think "sickly" is a measure of mass.
