Properly-designed transmission line does not radiate (much). This is primarily done by either running a balanced signal down two twisted conductors (twisted pair) or running an unbalanced signal inside a grounded shield (coax).
So all we need is properly designed twisted-pair lamp cords and barbed wires.

If instead we tried on the frequencies that they are built for, would that be meaningless? Could such frequencies reach us?
Of course! Now I understand why nobody is trying this!
Once we had our world-wide collaborative antenna tuned to our nearest neighbor civilization's TV frequencies, we'd have endless world-wide conflicts about which programs to watch.

These are held fer apart from the linked prossesing needed to make them useful,
Wouldn't it be possible to record first and combine the signals later? For synchronization, instead of having a perfect clock you would look for known periodic signals from stars etc. Would that make sense?
they are'nt designed to even look at the frequancies we want.
Does this just lower the quality of the signal or is it impossible to receive a useful signal in the desired frequencies?
If instead we tried on the frequencies that they are built for, would that be meaningless? Could such frequencies reach us?
It's possible, but not happening now!

Would it be possible to use ordinary parabolic satellite TV antennas for radio telescopy? Could they be combined to create a huge radio telescope?
If that's possible, maybe when people are not using their satellite antennas for TV they could be combined to create a world-wide radio telescope.
I'm thinking of something along the ideas of SETI@home. There, the unused computer time of many people is combined for the SETI program. Maybe unused satellite TV antenna time could be combined in a similar way.
To create a large and powerful telescope you combine several smaller telescopes. There is an enormous amount of unused TV antenna time. If ordinary satellite dishes are suitable for this purpose, you'd get an extremely powerful telescope.

Ooops, I bungled the HTML and some other details, making the quotes from Qwest look much worse than they really are in the original document. Sorry. Here's a much clearer version of the bungled part of my post:
Even if you notify us not to use account information for marketing purposes, [...]
So they do imply marketing purposes.
We also sometimes disclose account information to third parties who are not part of the Qwest family of companies when [...] or when it is commercially reasonable to do so
Again they imply marketing purposes, and quite clearly.
The way I bungled the quote, it looked like they said they'd ignore subscriber's requests not to disclose the information. My error, they did not say that.

All Qwest is doing is telling you that they will be sharing meaningless information like wether or not you have Caller ID or (gasp) Touch-Tone Service installed WITH OTHER BRANCHES OF QWEST.
From the original document (assuming it's correctly quoted on that page):
Account information includes details about your service, such as [...] as well as calling and billing records. For toll calls that you are billed for, the information includes the number the call comes from, the number it goes to and how many minutes the call takes.
So the information does include numbers their subscribers have called.
Even if you notify us not to use account information for marketing purposes,
[...]
We also sometimes disclose account information to third parties who are not part of the Qwest family of companies when [...] or when it is commercially reasonable to do so.
So they do imply marketing purposes quite clearly.

Article: and it'll make ya feel insignificant too!
Insignificant to whom?
If it makes you feel insignificant, this means you're making yourself a reduced image of the Universe. In this reduced image you seem small. But that isn't the real size and significance of the Universe, nor is it your real size and significance.
Try to see the Universe as it really is, without reducing it. Try to see it with you as significant as you really are, and the Universe all the more immense and awesome.
I don't think anyone can fathom the Universe as it really is, but the attempt can be a wonderful experience.

I once saw a driver, engrossed in a phone conversation, making amazingly stupid turns and moves back and forth in the middle of a large street crossing. If the other person had seen his manoeuvers I'm sure he or she would either shut up or say "What the hell are you doing?" Healthy.
