The article mentions wearing it in your sleep, but is that really necessary?
Wearing the suit to sleep is solely to curb the opportunity for adolescent pranks like swapping the Captain's suit to one with a higher elastic coefficient and watching his limbs collapse like a dead bug.
Right now Michael Crichton is regretting that whole "frog dna" thing and Jimi Hendrix, Winston Churchill and Copernicus are getting tired of hearing about it.
someone want to comment on the effectiveness of GPS jammers?
Most likely prohibited by the FCC.
These are definitely prohibited by the FCC / FAA. Even a GPS re-radiation system (for bringing GPS indoors) must be registered with the authorities. I have personally been witness to this situation when a company that makes re-rad devices was not checking that its customers were authorized to use the equipment. The FCC / FAA tracked them down and made them contact all their customers to register their equipment.
This also provides work for multi-core CPUs. What better task for a central, 16+ CPU machine than to serve separate applications to each member of a family? Everybody runs their own portable client and the big box in the basement does all the heavy lifting.
"It makes me very angry when someone tells me, 'She probably hit the gas pedal instead,' because I think it's a sexist comment, an ageist comment," she said.
Calling the investigators sexist or ageist is taking umbrage without cause. Maybe they were simply brakeist.
Or how about "Knowing", a friend of mine called it the best new sci-fi movie in ages, I watched it and concluded they went with the much-overused "Alien horror" genre which then turned into some sort of "Jesus as an alien (who just seemed bad because we're idiots who wanted to make a cool trailer) saves the innocent and righteous and brings them all to a new garden of eden while everyone else dies horribly".
The worst part about "Knowing" was that, after the halfway point, I began to suspect that the writers had worked themselves into a corner. Either it had to end with a disjointed Deus Ex Machina moment or with complete failure to save the planet. They chose both which turned out just as lazy and unsatisfying.
That total cost of 240$ is based on them acquiring used material at a radio swap meet, not scavenging it from old stuff I could find in my attic, and definitely no buying from some online supplier. That is, w/o a lot of luck, time, and knowledge- there is no way I could duplicate this effort with ease.
Agreed. This is $240 only if you happen to have thousands of dollars worth of the right junk and test equipment lying around.
Awesome. Everyone knows that Teutonic Knights are one of the best melee units. Once he upgrades to Elite status he'll be nigh invulnerable. Just be wary of elephants.
Wonder how effective — and how powerful — the exercise will turn out to be for the country. Am also struggling to imagine how the photo and fingerprint collection is going to happen, technology-wise.

This must be the first time anyone has ever misinterpreted content from the Bible.

Young, tall, long armed and with huge... tracts of land.
I'll take the pie-in-the-sky. The future sounds delicious!

Seems like a good place to build a permanent floating trash recycling facility since so much of the Pacific trash collects there on its own.

Here you go. Just like this.

Solar system continuity error. The editors at NASA that control the view of the night sky must be ashamed.

Every time I read the word "jurisprudence" I think of this Onion photo.
I would imagine that their new contract with EA would include access to a high dollar team of lawyers.
Next: Reactive Armour T-Shirt!!! I'll be RICH!!! (or dead).
Man, you'd really have a bad day if you happened to put your t-shirt on inside-out while stumbling around in the morning.
This sudden leap in sensitivity could cause a problem for the system of SI prefixes which don't yet come any smaller than yocto.
I say that the SI authority open the floor for commercial advertisers to sponsor smaller prefixes.
Future announcements might include: "Physicists break force measurement record with device sensitive to 10 Applenewtons."

Am also struggling to form complete sentences.
This has to be the cutest ravaging horde in European history.
I'm sure Japan has this beat, though.
None of this addresses the need for security of our strategic honey reserves.
