  1. Except on White Spaces Test "Rigged," Says Google Co-Founder Page · · Score: 1, Informative

    that's exactly how wireless microphones are deployed in the field.

    In heavily saturated markets, the wireless mic frequency may sit between a TV video signal and the same channel's audio signal.

    At least until things go all digital, then audio and video are muxed into one square wave leaving no room to stick a mic signal. This exasperates the dilemma facing wireless mic operators.

    And yes that little PDA can easily wreak havoc on a Broadway show, NFL broadcast or any other production. That's why we regulate the spectrum...devices operating on the same frequency will interfere.

  2. Control of distribution on The Economic Development of the Moon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We already have a source of clean limitless power: solar. But anyone can generate it! On the other hand, the distribution of energy harvested from the moon would be a tightly controlled affair. Very lucrative.

    Well duh! What was meant was the environment will be destroyed to the point that humans won't be able to exist. This is what people mean when they say "destroying the planet."

    Be cool.

    The slashdot link http://www.cinematical.com/2005/05/25/lucas-idea-f or-new-star-wars-prequel/ sources this story http://www.moviehole.net/news/5674.html which in turn sources http://www.cinescape.com/ A little digging on this site turns up the original unconfirmed story http://www.cinescape.com/0/editorial.asp?aff_id=0& this_cat=Movies&action=page&type_id=&cat_id=270338 &obj_id=48836

    Uhmmmm...probably to late to even be modded, huh?

    Another scooper, MK, wrote in with his story of meetingnone other than George Lucas, while in Hawaii on his (MK's) honeymoon. MK had this to say about his chance encounter with the Master:

    I was vacationing at the Mandarin Oriental in Hawaii for my honeymoon in 2004. I ran into George Lucas and his family on the beach there. I was sitting in a hammock, just about to get up, and he asked me if I was done. I said yes and began to leave....

    He said so "Where are you from" ... I said I was from NY. He said "Are you here for the shoot?" I said no, "Here on my honeymoon."

    I told him I was a big STAR WARS fan and was anxiously awaiting the conclusion of the most recent trilogy.

    I asked him if STAR WARS was going to end with this next installment and.

    He said, "'Star Wars' will never end. My involvement may, but the story will go on...."

    I said what do you think would be more interesting.... telling a story prior to PHANTOM MENANCE or after RETURN OF THE JEDI?

    (Lucas) said, no question about it, prior to PHANTOM MENACE. He said, that if he did ever do another storyline.... that he would do when the Jedi regained control of the universe from the Dark Lords (there were many of them) 800 years before PHANTOM MENACE. And a young Jedi named Yoda was instrumental in the effort.

    None of these stories are (or can truly be) confirmed at this moment, so only time will tell.

  6. Re:Gad you gave us a link to slashdot on Electoral-vote.com Under Heavy Load; Attack? · · Score: 1

    I had the same thoughts last night. Looking at the exit polls and the numbers reported by the precincts definitely set alarms off for me. These exit polls are not flawless, but anyone whose taken a research methods course will tell you there should be a closer correlation. Your sugested proofs are interesting. I will personally crunch some numbers to set my mind at ease.
