Please. Stop already. I've heard plenty of sonic booms and I'd be hard pressed to describe them as 'ear-splitting'. If you live in the mid-west, Florida or other areas, thunderstorms create far higher sound pressure levels. And do more damage to windows and structures as well.
If we can't get the highly suggestible people over the idea that sonic booms are intolerably loud, because they have been told they are, we will never develop supersonic aircraft.
Wireless power is good for things that you need to carry around. My TV sits in one place. And with very little effort I can route the cord where it can't be seen.
Correction. Someone's implementation of LIDAR may be patent protected. But the technology itself has been around since the 1960s and is well beyond patent coverage.
Seattle owns outright hydroelectric generating plants equivalent to about 75% of its peak demand. Here and here are two of their major hydroelectric projects. So, yeah. They do have, in a meaningful sense, their own hydroelectric dams.
At these speed, USB4 stands to be way faster than most ethernet out there.
Until someone plugs a slow device into the USB bus. And your 40 Gbps network has to wait for those mouse data packets. This may be why vendors aren't in a rush to adopt USB for every application. Lots of pissed off customers because they don't understand that it's the old generation junk that they keep plugged in that slows down their fanc external hard drive.
We would need to return cleared land to forest for this to work.
Of course. Let the trees grow to maturity. Clear cut the land, removing carbon in the form of cellulose. Then replant the cleared land and start the cycle over.
They also grow branches and trunks. Which fall down and rot more slowly. Or we could maximize trees' carbon sequestration and cut them down for lumber before they rot.
But in the final analysis, trees don't mater much. Phytoplankton sequester comparable amounts of CO2 to all terrestrial plants. They either get eaten or die and drop into the anaerobic depths of the sea.
The shortest numbers are on the order of a thousand years and most are higher.
Less than that. The data from Mauna Kea showing seasonal CO2 fluctuations suggests that the levels respond with time constants on the order of months or even weeks if the production vs absorption rates can be changed. The 'thousands of years' figures are just used to panic the scientific illiterates.

But what do you expect them to resort to when they don't have their own Federal Reserve that can create money out of thin air?

they were simply trying to sow discord by controlling groups purporting to be from both sides.
No, they were not.
Yes, they were.

The Group W bench should be in with comments shortly.
The ravine at the end of the road takes everything without complaints.
I wonder why not in Texas.
East Texas district courts.

LIDAR is a patent protected technology
Correction. Someone's implementation of LIDAR may be patent protected. But the technology itself has been around since the 1960s and is well beyond patent coverage.
Do you have JTAG cables or a even hardware programmer?
You are aware of the Slashdot demographic? For a good number of people here, the answer to those questions may very well be 'Yes'.
Is that source or a binary? Does it run on Linux?
Uh uh. I ain't clickin' that sh*.
I had been irreversibly transformed into a suspension bridge.
That was the good news. The bad news: You became Galloping Gertie
Here in California, hydro is not considered renewable.
That's just hippy-dippy politics. Hydro power IS solar power, collected by the hydrological cycle.

Somewhere, Scotty is saying "The engines canna take much more!"
the new high-speed satellite Internet
Just look at how pissy the USA gets about Americans receiving content from foreign satellites. Not going to work in China.
I thought they said frog detection.

So trees grow leaves

Or Slashdot editors would have found something new to post.
