You go right ahead and rely on that to work. After all, people capable of designing effective anti-radiation missiles are obviously not capable of designing receivers that can classify different radiation sources.
Except that what you actually do is promise to paint it red even though you know that you do not have and cannot get any red paint. Then you deliver it green and try to tell the customer he is colorblind and besides the next model really will be red.
If Clarke wrote that he blew it. The fields in question are many orders of magnitude too weak to affect devices as small as tapes and disk drives. The problem is not a huge increase in magnetic field strength. The problem is that the Earth's magnetic field wriggles around as it interacts with solar storms. If it wriggles vigourously enough it can induce destructive currents in very long electrical transmission lines.

So I guess your real complaint is that you can't trust your friends with your secrets.
The defendant might still be able to recover costs and/or expenses if he wants to try. That is up to the judge. It's easier to get into court than to get out of it. You can't necessarily say "Oh well, that didn't work" and walk away.

When you buy thousands of routers you get them customized to your exact needs and you get whatever support arrangement you desire including complete drawings and source code.

Right. That worked so well in France.
I expect that the researchers provide adequate veterinary care for their subjects.

Of course not. It's all been suppressed by THEM.
You don't think Big Dog walks decently?

Aren't the repeaters powered by wire run in the cable? If so, and if the runs are long enough, the magnetic storms will zap them.
> ...and a lot of the short distance stuff is underground...
Makes no difference. The problem is currents induced in long cables when the Earth's magnetic field wiggles around as it interacts with solar storms.

That would condemn 99.9% of the reporters in the world to eternal agony.
If they do make that much money they are by definition not nerds since money is the penultimate aphrodisiac.

Sulking works fine. Go away and leave me alone.

Right. ZFS provides no benefits to Microsoft at all.
They certainly are. Unfortunately, the trend seems to be the in the other direction. Especially among politicians.
It isn't a zero sum game. Politics is a negative sum game.

We don't need bridges. Everyone uses TCP/IP now.
It's ok. Only Republicans will be harmed.

Yes. You get virtual bridges to nowhere.
In the US if you did not sign an agreement assigning your inventions to anyone else you own them. If you did, they aren't being stolen: you sold them.
