I know its hard to pick the truth from the self serving boiler plate, but if the best you have is the funding requester's web site I'm glad you are not managing my funds.

What are they trying to accomplish: Will they be able to prevent tornado? Will they have better early warning? Will they be able to steer them?
None of these is stated as a goal of Vortex2.
The storm chasers, often are working with local radio stations:
"Storm chasers are out there to save lives—we're out there to give warnings faster than the early warning systems," said Aaron Estman, who has been chasing storms for a few years and runs a Web site called TexasChaser.com, in an interview.
The Scientists rarely share data with the media.
We already know they are destructive. Running around chasing these storms is no longer providing any new scientific data. But it provides a lot of video tape for scientists to sell to the Discovery Channel.
The point is that the roads are not the property of the scientists. They might just as well complain about people trying to avoid the storm by using the roads. Perhaps the scientists are interfering with proper public escape routes.
Why assume anyone out on the roads are random idiots? Many are film makers producing documentary TV shows. Some are probably competing scientists.
Then why not recognize when they meet that standard by documenting and mapping Russian preliminary findings and PUBLISHING the information and providing it to the Afghans?
Yes, it was clearly stated that some of the information used to research these deposits was found in Russian documents left over from the occupation.
So since these documents were discovered (in country) several years ago, clearly they knew about it several years ago.
But So what? The Russians knew about it even LONGER ago, but some how this is ignored when raising the question of whether the deposits are "real or illusory".
It takes time to follow someone else's notes, written in Russian, get core samples (in a war zone). On what date should the announcement have been made?
The Russians knew, and hid it from the Afgans. The US/Nato surveyed the deposits and published it.
Somehow US/Nato gets scapegoated and the Russians are forgotten.
Redemption is passing a law Prohibiting such filters and an adding a special provision that introducing any amendment or repeal legislation requires a 90% vote in favor.
However I'm almost certain any country which lets one rogue minister propose this in the first place has no provisions for such protections in their laws.
It had been proposed sometime ago that geoengineering might help fight global warming. One plan in particular that drew a lot of attention was the dumping of hundreds of tons of iron filings into the ocean. Through wave action, the seas absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and the theory went that iron dumping would encourage phytoplankton population growth which would, in combination with zooplankton, take in CO2 and deposit it on the bottom of the briny deep....... While it seems that impressive bio-blooms could be created, much of the zooplankton poop and other carbons bits didn't create the strong sedimentation effect expected on the briny bottom.
Worse than little benefit, the sum of the power used by the monitoring will exceed by a factor of ten the power saved by reminding you to turn off your dryer before leaving home.
The built in timer will turn off said dryer for next to nothing.
Never the less, this is a perfect way to kill a science in its infancy. Had they released probability figures someone would find fault with that as well.
They did not HIDE their findings, they simply did not make predictions.
You have to call witnesses in most countries. (Itally, not so much). Where will they find Geologists willing to set the science back 500 years for failing to make a prediction?
Damned if they do, and Damned if they don't, I would choose a different career path.
Tamper protected might mean that it simply stops working if altered. That should be enough to keep 5 9s (99.9995) of the would be hackers at bay, and would probably be good enough.
If you buy something and it gets encoded to some key you own, you still want the ability to use that key on more than one device. (computer, smartphone, ereader, TV, etc), or authorize that media on every device you own.
That is where the problem comes in. Offering device flexibility without giving the game/ebook/song to every resident in the dorm.
Even assuming you could indeed create an un-duplicable play key, people want to read/watch/play on all of their deivces.
Do you put one playkey on multiple devices, on separate playkeys on each device?
The fundamental problem is that the means of duplication is in the hands of the masses. And playkeys will be JUST as quickly duplicated as the media is today.
Baring some form of quantum entanglement you can't make a key that someone else can't duplicate.
I would say removing death benefits for suicide would go a long way toward fixing the problem.
This is the most forehead-slapping well DUH! revelation of the whole post.
Taiwan is not mainland. Education is better. Opportunity is better. People actually quit their jobs there, and get better ones rather than commit suicide to avoid shame of losing/quitting a job far from the farm.
Ok, decades to orbit, at a distance of between 8 to 15 Astronomical Units, so in this case TFA says an orbital period between 17 and 35 years.
Also it was mentioned that it was only a few million years old, like they had tree rings or something. They just found it, they are still amazed they can see it, yet they already have its age determined?
How does that work? TFA sort of glossed over that.
Staples does desk level marketing, not enterprize marketing.
I can't think of a single product that Staples sells that you would find in the data center machine or media room other than the pad and pens used to sign the visitor logs.

Translation:
The Soviets were planning to usurp these resources with Afghan slave labor.
Scientists engaging in (largely redundant) research are not an emergency service.

Why assume anyone out on the roads are random idiots?

Who's building?
Since when did "Scientists" gain possession of the roads?
Yes, wouldn't want to lock in freedom. Jeeze what was I thinking?
Why would the USGS be involved?
Of course he knows nothing, his mandate is state side.
Arial survey (magnetometer) of these kinds of minerals is pretty accurate, and you can contract for that privately.
In order to believe your conspiracy theory, you have to believe it was all planned and started when the Russians were occupying the country.
Tinfoil hat much?
Then why not recognize when they meet that standard by documenting and mapping Russian preliminary findings and PUBLISHING the information and providing it to the Afghans?
Why the sinister suggestions of evil intent?

Except it really doesn't work. We've tried.

The point is that the radar in current use is effectively jammed by nothing more elaborate than a windmill.
Well as soon as DOE can convince FAA and the Air Force to stop blocking projects perhaps we can make some progress.
Its a little frightening that a non-emitting source could so easily fool radar and the best solution either agency has is to block wind farms.
Then there is the BLM and their restrictive access polices, not to mention the Kennedy clan.
There are some obvious problems with wind (hot calm days), but tied to an efficient national grid much of these should be manageable.
