Re:FCC should take care of this

I was going to reply to this in your way. This is absolutely right. Isnt the FCC supposed to check what frequencies are being used by what and allocate wavelengths accordingly? Why hasnt the NTSC complained (different frequecy radars I might guess), they are the one who actually need radar over our soil. What the heck are the military tracking other than training flights?
I did think the part about the planet was little wierd, but then again, who is going to believe a buncha freaks running around the desert doing Mad Max ripoffs?
I also thought it was a good movie, Im still trying to think of what they hated so much.
Ive seen a lot of contention on #2. It stands to reason that chemosynthetic oraganisms arose first. Due to its ability to use the then abundent energy source. The atmosphere wasnt quite as protective as it is today either. Most probably needed to hide from it instead of being exposed, which also lends to the chemosynthesis idea.
Just thought Id add that, either could be true.
The actual nasa article does say that there are photos of about 30 impacts that are older than 3.5 billion years, so I will give you that.
She also does say that she is making the assumption that the craters and river valleys are the same age. I would like to know if any of those river valleys are interupted by crater impacts, showing that some of them are newer, leading to this idea that it has happened many times. I doubt some of these incredibly deep valleys could be carved with even a millenia of 6 foot annual rainfalls. The Grand Canyon is small compared to some on Mars and it has been forming with a rather steady flow (remember the used to erode much quicker, when it was prone to sudden burts of water) for for five or six million years, a geologically young feature.
I still think Ms. Segura is missing some very important details when it comes to this theory.
"25 huge asteroids or meteors, each about 60 to 150 miles in diameter"
I cant believe this one. Especially if you look at our own impact craters. The Chixaclub crater in the Yucatan made rings 180 miles wide and the asteroid was estimated to be only 6 miles wide. Doesnt anyone think we'd notice the pothole left by a 150 mile wide asteroid? I would have to doubt there would be enough melt from teh asteroid or enough steam or water from the planet to wipe these out.
Maybe if these guys are feeling really adventuresome they can read about the Sudbury impact (hit Canada 1.8 billion years too early) and the Vredefort impact in central Africa. These two left similar impact crater sizes and theyre still noticible 2 billion years after they hit. We found Chixaclub underneath all that marsh and muck and its 65 million years old (gets credited for dinosaur extinction).
Considering the "Soviet Union" doesnt exist anymore. Im not sure if the Russians kept them or not. And even ten years ago the Soviet Union I think had vanished by then.
Remember that chimps are VERY closely related, so we can lop of 98% of those combos. Then we take out all the variations that result in fatal alleles reducing it even farther (I dont and I doubt anyone has a statistic for this).
The only upside to all those is that 2/3 of all offspring have some sort of mutation, not neccesarily even visible or noticible, but there.
Ill admit that I pledged $20. Why not, I think its a good show. Do I think TV is important? Absolutely not, I usually watch maybe an hour to an hour and a half tops per week. I dont even own a TV, its my roommates. Considering all the shows I dont like on TV this isnt a bad deal. The money is no big deal, some of these people are strange cause the small amount theyre asking is nothing. The only thing I want to know is what happens to the money if the pledges are collected and this doesnt work?
There is an old article in Science News that demstrates things being sent faster than light. The interesting bits of the article talk about one experiment where a beam of light was shot into a cloud of gas, and it exited the cloud before it entered it. Another has them sending Mozart 40th symphony at 4.7 times the speed of light.
And btw, 6.6 microseconds aint bad. I never read below, but I can imagine the massive amount of (bad) Beowulf jokes. I doubt their latency is any better. Assuming only 1 packet is sent at a time, thats ~150,000 packets per second (theorectical peak of course). Seeing as how I havent sent that many in the last 9 hours this isnt too bad of a problem. You are right that this isnt entirely whats needed for this purpose, but you cant learn if you dont try.
Not that theyre doing a lot of breeding to begin with.
Yes I know the article says its not harmful, but neither was thalidomide. At least now boyscouts wanting to make a breeder reactor in their mother's tool shed have a much easier way that doesnt involve forged documents.
I would assume that its because of the signal bouncing off of the atmosphere. A guy by the name of Guglielo Marconi was skipping signals off the atmosphere from England to Newfoundland in 1901.
I saw someone mentioned this as a joke, about fish getting mangled.
When my aunt was in college they went just west of here into Minnesota to check out the environmental impact of a large windmill farm (interesting stuff, sitting in Minnesota, controlled in California, owned by Enron in Texas). There were large numbers of bats running into the blades. I dont remember what they did to curb this, although I think it involved increasing the rotational speed. Any way, bet the same effect will happen with these.
Bet thatll teach Flipper not to hang out near the shore.
Theyd never GPL funded software there is software that theyd like to use on us. Couple articles that touch on that, though most links are dead now.
Just search for Carnivore, a wealth of info as to why they DONT want to GPL it.
Something is curable. People dont seem to accept the possibility that something is not curable in some way. Besides that, theyre folding a protein that doesnt do anything. According to the article, the protein is useless.
What if someone used a directional antenna? The third antenna would be able to connect the signal and triangulating would be next to impossible. The other thing is you cant just drop the connection when two antennas dont see it since there are bound to be dead spots.
My mistake, didnt notice it being part of that same thread, but it got a +4 so all the text was displayed and just appeared to be another strange comment that some of these/.ers make that seem to come from lack of information. Ah damnit, now that I think about Im describing my last post.

Hormel is now going to embark on a series of lawsuits to stop people from calling bulk mail "Spam", therby belittling their delicious product.
As a side note, do you think the people at Hormel refer to that kind of email as "Spam"?
just make sure you take him up on all the valuable offers he sends you.

Alien visitors picking up the signal have warchalked the area just outside of San Diego. Aerial observers have taken a photo of this this.
It is. Thats why it was important for battleships to be equipped with radar. They can fire a shell over the horizon.
I would assume that its because of the signal bouncing off of the atmosphere. A guy by the name of Guglielo Marconi was skipping signals off the atmosphere from England to Newfoundland in 1901.
You missed a few.
