The solar system is mostly empty, what would attenuate the signal? The signal would have to pass through the dust causing the aforementioned zodiacal light, but I'm guessing that would not be enough to be a significant problem.
You could use the last gravity assist to deflect upwards, but what would be the point? If you've already used a few planetary passes working to build up significant velocity in one direction, why waste your last opportunity by adding velocity in a whole other direction? Most likely you're already past the asteroid belt by that point, and it won't help you get away from the sun's glare any quicker.
I've done some Android programming and I agree. Fortunately Android does have a WYSIWYG interface designer too as part of the standard development tools.
If everyone will hate the name of a command, as would certainly be the case for a command called "Context-free grep", then it is a bad name. Everyone would be using their own aliased names, scripts wouldn't be portable between any two users, it would just be a mess. Save everyone the trouble and just give the thing a name that isn't a PITA to type.
It would be a lousy choice, if any unix commands actually had anything to do with felines. But none do, so where would any confusion over the name would come from.
Really? You don't think actually being able to see what your editing is much better? 90% of the time I'm not using any of the fancy additions vim added, so vi and vim are not much different for me.
Did you know that Saturn rocket put out as much energy as the rest of the planet combined on its launch?
I did not. And what large percentage of the earth's energy output would be needed to keep a large space platform, and cargo floating over the earth? If it was so cheap and easy to get that much energy from solar, we would already be running everything from solar power. We're not.
That's like saying graphene is just a slice of graphite (since small amounts of graphene can be made by cleaving graphite)...
I think it would be more accurate to say that graphite is layered graphene, but that is what it is. Is it not?
CNTs aren't currently made by rolling up graphene and many of the specific properties of CNTs are because of *how* they are rolled (specifically the n,m chiral values and the diameter)...
Steel pipes aren't made by rolling up steel plates, and a steel pipes diameter comes from its shape. A steel pipe also has properties that a steel pipe doesn't, but they're still the same material.
Seems we are missing the almost limitless, cheap power that would be needed to maintain such a thing. That doesn't sound to me like it is any less impractical or far-fetched then a space elevator.
Correlation does not imply causation. Is it possible that older devices with storage that is nearly full also have more apps installed and possibly running in the background using memory and slowing things down? I can't think of any reason near full storage would slow the phone down by itself.
They wouldn't be using state of the art chips, but even the old radiation hardened chips needed for space travel would be an big improvement over 30 year old technology.
Probably the biggest improvement would be in propulsion. Isn't this the exact sort of mission the new ion propulsion systems would be perfect for?
When one considers that less than 2% of the Sun is something other than Hydrogen and Helium, and Oxygen being only another chunk of that 2% with other elements having their chunks of that respective small percentage, that quote gives us considerable insight into why the Sun and other stars burn for as long as we believe they do.
Two problems with what you said. First, the sun has gravity. It has a lot of gravity, and so hot gases do rise due to convection, as they do on earth. That said, the sun doesn't burn. The heat is generated from nuclear fusion in its core, and that is the reason why stars last so long.
Are you seriously implying that listening to AM radio, home of ultra-conservative and religious talk, would isolate me from anti-science sentiments? What color is the sky in your world? You should have said NPR, then your comment would almost have made some sense. Plus that's what I actually listen to.
The cat jumping out at the kid didn't intend to kill and eat the child, but it's play hunting just the same. What do cats do for fun? Stalking, chasing, ambushing. It's all about improving skills needed for catching their next meal in the wild.

It's being rolled out this month. Updates always take a few months to make it to existing phones, even from Google.

Probably because using the cell phone surreptitiously is more dangerous then using it out in the open.
Do you use Facebook? Because it should be obvious how your homemade solution would not do what people use Facebook for.
"Merry Christmas" was never turned into "Happy Holidays". "Happy Holidays" is a substitute for "Merry Christmas and a happy New Year"
But it's still less helpful for anyone who isn't using a Debian based distro, or for anyone who wants to read about the program before installing it.

I think you missed his point. If there are no batteries, then you have nothing you need to replace.
An encrypted volume would not look the same as a binary file. Binary's are far from random.
Oops, yeah. s/pipe/plate/

Carbon nanotubes are just rolled up graphene. I'm sure a single nanotube would be almost as transparent as a single layer of graphene.

Who says the world hates scientists? That's news to me.
