Excuse me, but REAL programmers use Butterflies. We open their hands and let their delicate wings flap once. The disturbance ripples outward, changing the flow of the eddy currents in the upper atmosphere. These cause momentary pockets of higher-pressure air to form, which act as lenses deflecting incoming cosmic rays, focusing them to strike the drive platter and flip the desired bit.
Really? I'm talking about inflatable structures in space, not in the Earth's atmosphere. An Inflatable structure surrounding a satellite would be moving at the exact same speed as the satellite, quite frankly it has no choice in the matter if it is to stay in orbit. The point of an inflatable structure is that it would be trivial to fit 10 of them into a small rocket, heck you could even include them in the payload bay of the rocket carrying the real satellite, although that would pose many issues of it's own.
If you have 10 inflatable structures in a 2000m-500m radius of a satellite, it would be significantly harder for a kill vehicle to determine which one is the real satellite. Especially if you add in minor electronics to generate noise and heat to mask the real satellites EMF signals(Infrared being one of the many.) The only way would really be visually, and even then, you could make the inflatable structures in such away that they have a very similar shape to the real satellite.
Well, it is far too expensive to put up redundant satellites. The safest bet is to actually put up inflatable balloons which would have the same size as the satellite to be "Defended." If the kill vehicle hits a balloon, no appreciable amount of debris will be produced, unless of course the kill vehicle is an explosive charge.
It has to apply much more power than that necessary to simply charge the phones. Unless of course you carry the cell tower within 1 foot of the cell phone everywhere you go, otherwise you have to start dealing with inverse square laws and all that nonsense sciencey and mathy stuff.
It's not a zero sum game. The more produced, the wealthier the world becomes as a whole. Of course this only goes to an extent due to limited natural resources.
In fact this is a good thing, I mean honestly do you expect 6% of the population to produce 50+% of the worlds intellectual property?
Not necessarily. Beta characters will be wiped, the only head start will be a 3 day head start for Pre-Orders. However, you do have a point in the sense that Beta players will understand the game better than the others.
WoW has changed a lot in very different ways... In many ways it's basically the same exact game it was when it was first released.
New content has been added mainly and characters have been slightly changed around. Although the WoW fanatic will tell you that classes have had "MAJOR" changes, the changes are minor.
To be honest, I found the combat at least a bit more engaging than WoW ever was, also with the last closed beta patch they significantly increased the difficulty level which made it more fun for me.
I think the game has a chance, especially if they improve it as they have been and add Bridges for warp travel instead of the silly warp sector.

Yes it is, GT5 fails compared to some of the more hardcore sims available.

vim? Man I still use the original vi, get off my lawn you young whipper snappers.
Oh Man Oh Man Oh Man, You're still using the command line? You gotta, I say you just gotta teach me that Arcane forgotten art!
Who needs a GUI when you've got the command line!

I can't believe this got modded insightful.
Anyways, the government asks about it because if they didn't, they would be implying that it's OK to do so.
Yes, but this discussion is about low frequency high voltage lines, not the RCA WiFi boondoggle.

Cash is a tool of the government and becomes worthless once the government says it is.
Real power and property on the other hand doesn't disappear at the whims of a government.
What /. needs to do is start censoring big walls of text.
We're talking about energy transmission here, not just the total energy in the system ;-) Frequency is very important in that regard.
Not necessarily, frequency is just as important as voltage and current.

Forgive me o God of /. for I have been Wooshed.
That was for Closed Beta, not Open Beta.
No Linux Version? Even Quake I has a Linux Version!

What the hell kind of Klingon speaks like that?
And how much lower is the bandwidth going to be?
Considering the push towards 4g and faster...
No, I wasn't being serious at all.
Forgive me o god of /. for I have assumed.
Apple? The test was done by Motorola!
