Positioning relies not on the contents of the signal but on its delay reaching your receiver. Being digital is irrelevant. Ionospheric propagation speed variations introduce an error of 300m for each microsecond difference in the signal reception time.
I do not want to belittle Lorenz' major contribution to chaos theory, but the concept (if not the word) of chaos had long been fairly well grasped by Poincaré (1890) and Hadamard (1898).
it is private property and deserves respect as such
On the other hand, if you park your private property across my backyard, I should feel free to dump my shit on it.
Agree with suggestions #1(wireless failures) and #2(sound conflicts)
I would add that printing still does not work seamlessly.
CUPS is (sometimes) a disaster that should be replaced by something simple and efficient.
If you have coaxial annular lenses, each with its own focal length, you get as many focal planes.
You can thus make a multifocused picture at the cost of more blurry background.
This has been used for bifocal soft lenses for presbyopia.
Focus splitting with diffraction gratings is more commonly used now.
Since mankind is no more capable of regulating its population than rabbitkind, Nature will take care of it in the most efficient manner: a major epidemy seems unavoidable within a few years, and for the few survivors, life will be great: plenty of space, no more pollution and a gradual return to an enjoyable climate.
"the obvious question would be, why don't they just open more schools?"
You are american, aren't you?
China cannot afford to train average students and "elitism" is not a dirty word there (yet).
China recovered its pre-Mao tradition of state-sponsored highly competitive school system which the
visiting Jesuits of the 19th century found so efficient that they imported it into the European
monarchies. It even survives in France which still openly deflects its brightest high school kids from the regular university in favor of its few "Grandes Ecoles" (literally "great schools":).
If and when China becomes prosperous, you can expect second class universities to bloom there just like in the USA.

Can any slashdotter tell me why despite the fact that Katrina was known to be coming, and that it would be huge, there was so much devastation amid confusion without clear leadership? This is all part of the incompetence I mentioned above.
Why was he so candidly investigated?
I mean, if he was a credible threat, the FBI would not question him up front, instead, he would be put under secret surveillance.
Maybe FBI employees are just evaluated by the number of investigation files they open and close.
Google keeps referencing private web pages that follow the "robot exclusion standard" (robots.txt etc...) and does not even comply with authentified requests to remove them.
So, if you have anything to hide (and who does not?), just avoid Google as much as you can.
[quote] as 100 is the mean IQ, that means fully one half of the population has an IQ below 100.
Well, mean is not the same as median !
Maybe you need a herbal IQ enhancer ?
The obvious target here is the European "Galileo" GPS project which is considered unacceptable by some american generals who have no desire to share the current US monopoly on hi-tech (read "gps-based") war.

Great!
Science may soon match the mood detection ability of cats.
Or should it be #1 ?
An effective birth control system

Hell, will the next President have balls at all?
Yes, I think she will.

The tax is for road usage, not petrol usage.
Yes, and if I ride my bike on public roads, they should tax my legs as well.

There is no excuse to happiness
if you understand your surroundings.
Let me state this loud and clear:

Fallacious comparison:

Democracy does not breed competence, that is why.
Cups is a disaster. I have seen more than one linux user quit because they cannot print.
Listen, deaf pirates, this is your chance.
Once upon a time in Europe, there used to be a tax on windows (they were considered a sign of wealth)
I prefer that hilarious one:
More people wear turbans in this world than the entire population of the United States.

I thought psychology was BETWEEN headphones, (not behind)
I won't believe it until that robot invents a real workable human scientist.
