How many cops does it take to crack an iPhone? One to get the coffee. One to get the donuts. One to find someone who knows how to operate an iPhone. One to put in a requisition to the city council for Micro Systemations softwhore. 666 to increase traffic citations to pay for it... Then 4 or 5 to install it. and two, six months to figure out the software.
I have read TFA on Slashdot and also the TFA on discovery
On both the title of TFA on Slashdot and on TFA at discovery, we are told that the star was formed 13-billion years ago
On TFA at discovery it was also mentioned that the star, HIP 11952, is 375 light years away
If the star is located in a very distant galaxy some 13-billion-light-years away, the star is already 13-billion-year old, or the star may be no more - but we still see the light from that star since the star light took 13-billion-years travelling time to reach planet Earth
But that star is located merely 375 light-years away - which means, the star, if the astronomers are correct, the star is 13-billion-year old !
As I am not an astronomer, nor very good in astrophysics, can someone help explain to me the following question:
Can a star really last for 13-billion year and not running out of fuel?
What difference does altitude make to a radio telescope?
If you need to ask that question, it means that you do have a lot to learn about SA
Of course, for SA's sake, higher altitude makes _all_ the difference !
It's an open secret that SA's ruling party ANC is in danger of being controlled by the faction that represents the younger generation - the faction which wants to turn SA into yet another Zimbabwe, with its anti-White, anti-Asian, anti-Everybody point of view
That's why, for SA's sake, they have to find any excuse, _any_ excuse at all, to state their case
Higher altitude for radio telescope does make a difference if there are noticeable ambience noise in the surrounding area
But we are talking here about two places - one in SA and the other in AU - that supposed to be very low on radio frequency noises
It's up to you to believe the proposals from the PC camp - the cheaper cost + higher altitude - or those who can view things with a more holistic approach
no company had their antenna tech lifted. They just found that if you actually make an antenna that is actually soldered to both devices without a break, then you use multiple "antennas" to transmit the data, some dedicated to sending while others are dedicated to receiving full duplex style, then you can achieve much higher bandwidths than if you try to send stuff through an antenna over the air
Speaking from a Brussels perspective, the South Africans are trying harder. They send the minister for Technology here often and she works hard to promote it. Her message is very simple, as she told me, Africa is a place for cutting edge science
Australia? One scientist and a couple of aboriginal artists, once, for a couple of days in an obscure corner of the European parliament
The SA tried harder, and the AU didn't try enough... In other words, you are saying that the SKA panel made their decision on the basis of SALES PITCH?
Back in the 1980's when they started tagging dogs and cats, - by inserting a chip into the neck of the animal, - in the name of "identify owners of lost pets", I already wondered aloud when will they start doing the same thing to human beings
This Brazilian example only tag students via chips embedded in their school uniform
Wait till someone come up with similar scheme with what they did to dogs and cats - insert chips into the body of human beings - and I am sure they can come up with whatever grandiose reason to justify what they do
It would be not that dis-similar to the tattooing of Jews by the German Nazis
Those who do not learn from history will find ways to repeat it
We need to teach them the power of solidarity as well. That way, once they're all busily being exploited by the basically worthless but mysteriously rich 1%, they can shut off Wall Street's routers all at once. The 1%'s deep seated sense of entitlement combined with raw animal panic will drive their blood pressure to record highs. One by one their aneurysms will pop like a string of firecrackers and the problem will be solved.
Ahhhh... you have pinpointed the biggest weakness of the techies/nerds
We are not "snake" enough
We do whatever we are told, and we will try our very best to carry out our duty
We even set impossible standards for ourselves
99% is not enough
99.9% is not enough
We strive for 99.999% (Five 9's) or even 99.9999% (Six 9's)
On the other hands, those who are in Wall Street - the "1%" - are snakes
They know our weakpoint and they exploit us
For the pittance that they paid us, we award them with wonderful devices, from servers with multiple redundancies to iPads
For all our hard work, what do we get?
On the other hand, the hundreds of billions of profits from the many amazing devices that the engineers/scientists all gone to line the pockets of those 1%
If a kid is passionate about science/engineering let him do it along with Chinese language on the side. Once he gets his qualifications, emmigrate to Asia and rake in the money/enjoy his career
As I am typing this, I am in Asia
Engineers in Asia, like their peers in the States / Europe, aren't exactly "raking in money"
In fact, my company is employing very qualified engineers - all having more than 15 years of experience in their respective field - in Asia and their wages are actually _lower_ than those who assembler cars for GM in the States
Their income can't even begin to compare to bankers in Tokyo, Hong Kong, or Singapore
There are no "backups" of your brain. There may be neural redundancy, but effectively no 1 to 1 backups. No, if anything this is equivalent to flushing RAM to disk
The way I see it, the backup is more like RAM to thumbdrive (FlashRAM)
As for the ROM feature, the one that controls heartbeat, breathing and such, is locate in the limbic system area, situated at top of the brain stem, which includes the medulla and pons
"based on the premise that if your average picture is worth a thousand words, then a picture from lunar orbit may be worth a classroom full of engineering and science degrees,' said Maria Zuber, GRAIL mission principal investigator"
I am trying not to rain on their parade, but...
Based on the societal structure now, wall street bankers, stock brokers and all those who work in financial industries are raking in multi-Giga-bucks
On the other hand, how much are engineers, principal investigators, scientists making?
And based on the social pecking order --- the engineers, scientists, principal investigators have to kow tow to those with $$$
Let's face it: Science and Engineering aren't hot anymore
Human civilizations started in several areas on planet Earth
North Eastern Syria is one of them
The Indus River area (India) is another. Other places include the Yang Tze Jiang delta (China), Nile delta (Egypt) and even some ancient civlizations in the Americas
âoeThere seems to certainly have been an error in understanding on the part of the Budget makers"
I sincerely think that the Indian budget makers do understand what Angel Funding is
My guess is that the Indian budget makers want everything to be done "Indian Style", that is, they are trying to prevent foreigners from owning any Indian inventions

I thought the congress of the United States is a congress of ALL
Or am I wrong in this?
Excluding Mr. Schneier from testifying has violated the charter (if there is one written) of the congress of the United States of America
Or am I wrong in that also?

That gotta be an extreeeeeemly long antenna !

Oh, what a notion !!
You can deny it all you want, but we have eyes
We can see how much political correctness has influenced the psyche of the Europeans
While it does *NOT* mean that the so-called "Panel" made their decision based on PC alone - the suspicion is unfortunately, unavoidable
As I say, this research will last for 50 years. By the time it ends, it would be year 2070+
I am no fortune teller, I can't see the future
Maybe by that time SA will be more advance than AU, or maybe not
Nevertheless, I'm sticking to my original statement - Whatever decision they want to make, make it according to one criteria, and ONE CRITERIA ONLY -
What is best for the program, which will last for the next 50 years
Whatever decision they made will have a lasting effect for the next 50 years
They should not make the decision based on any other criteria but for the best of this program itself
Political correctness has no place in Science research

I hope that someone can patent the emoticon for someone suffering from constipation
I hope that someone can patent the emoticon for bull defecating
I also hope that someone can patent the emoticon for someone stuck a cellphone up their buttock

Well, well ...
Predictable as always
I don't even use the degree when considering someone for a role at my company anymore
I've implemented a similar scheme for my company since 1998
No matter how impressive one's university degree might be, if he can't perform in the real world, whatever sheepskin he carries does not worth nothing
All the people I hired since then, I hired them for their attitude
You folks logged in when you use Google?
I use two browsers
One (let's say FF) I logged in my Google Account (gmail or something)
And on the other browser (let's say Chrome) which I've made sure that I've logged off from all my Google accounts - I use Google search on it
I do not know if my strategy works or not
I do not know if Google logs me in via my IP or not
