    You are right, but according to TFS, the KER is mounted to the "undriven axle" which suggests it is mounted in a perpendicular orientation rather than parallel.

    The cameras are similar. Unless there's a clear view of the driver in the photo, there's no way to be sure that the registered owner of the vehicle was driving at the time of the violation.

    I wondered the same thing. Maybe this offers plausible deniability and a reason not to opt out.

    Every encryption scheme will fall at some point. Once quantum computing fully arrives, I guess encryption will be mostly moot.

    Spouting unscientific nonsense in a crowd of nerds is, by definition, trolling.

    We Christians did that 2000 years ago. Our religion says love your enemies as you do your friends, forgive everyone who harms you, if you're punched in the face, turn the other cheek. It says he who lives by the weapon, dies by the weapon. It is a religion of love.

    Forgiveness is the very heart of Christianity. The "eye for an eye" was the old covenant, Christ brought a new covenant.

    2000 years ago? Did you forget about the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition?

    This is a perfect example of fair use. The photo is protected under copyright, but that does not disallow such copying for personal use.

  8. Re:Should read 60 miles... on Space Elevator Prototype Climbs MIT Building · · Score: 1

    I don't think there's any doubt we can get a satellite into geosynchronous or higher orbit. The question is, can we get an elevator to deliver a payload into space? The Ansari X Prize was for 100 kilometers (62.5 miles) and the ISS is only 200 miles high. That's a lot closer than 60 thousand miles, and it would still greatly reduce the cost of space travel. There's no need to go all the way to the end of the cable.

  9. Re:Should read 60 miles... on Space Elevator Prototype Climbs MIT Building · · Score: 1

    Is the post talking about the elevator or the cable? I read it as the elevator, which wouldn't have to go nearly as far to deliver a payload, right?
