Yeah if they have a nice stable rotation perpendicular to the sun. The microwave background should be very slightly warmer in close to the sun because it gains energy falling down hill. OTH dust close in to the sun may slightly obscure the background, making shadowed places a bit cooler. Then the moon has a warmer core than a kuiper belt object, so maybe that is the biggest factor. Less heating from below.
These cold sinks are very small. You might be better off with a global system built around the equator. Fluid in a pipe around the equator heats up in the sun and cools in the shade. You could use thermoelectric to generate power, or just extract energy with turbines.
I work in Aerospace and it is much the same. The loss to US business is not that bad because ITAR extends to any business which deals with the USA. So most external competitors will be subject to the same laws.
Facebook could REALLY improve their traffic levels if every 24 hours they autochanged statuses to "is sucking a cock" unless the user logged in before the time-out......
That would seem reasonable to Mark Zuckerberg because the people closest to him seem to be doing exactly that a lot of the time.
I agree but when I broke my arm my xrays were delayed by virus problems. Then they sent my xrays to me on a CD and it came with handy DLL files for processing the data. Fortunately for me gimp got the libraries it needed from the ubuntu repositories.
Part of the reason may be that 18+ movies only get limited release because of the economics of that medium. As you point out most gamers are over 18 so the 18+ rating would not deter game developers and 18+ games would proliferate.
The obvious place to install it is under the dashboard or the rear deck. Dashboards are made out of foam and plastic these days and there's plenty of always-on, ignition-on, etc. power under the dash. A rear install is trickier, but a lot of cars have an amplifier back there these days.
Or maybe in an external fitting like a head light or tail light. It would have a view of half the sky, at least, and can be accessed from outside the car. Maybe the police could build a trick registration plate to install in place of the normal one.
I have seen a microwave leak detector which is a loop of wire broken by an LED. Of course it emits, but no more than any other short length of wire.
Radio receivers often leak a signal from a beat frequency oscillator, but there is nothing in the laws of physics to say that has to be detectable. Your RF front end can be a pure amplifier and your BFO can be heavily shielded.
Either that, or you will force the GPS unit into thinking you've just circumscribed the U.S. of A. several times at Mach 2 and you will have to explain yourself (and pay the speeding ticket).
I drive an '87 Cavalier. Sometimes getting it up to freeway speeds is a bit of a challange. I think I can beat the 1400 mph speeding ticket.
There was this woman with a Datsun 120Y who got booked by a speed camera on a freeway going (I think) 165 km/h. She took the issue to a TV show who hired a race car driver to see what it could do. He got it to the required speed but described the car as a bit of a handful at that speed. Eventually the fine was dropped and put down to a sensor problem on the road.
You need to start taking those numbers (wherever they come from) with large pints of salt. How do you even track Linux's market share when everyone can distribute it? How do you count those machines sold with Windows that get promptly formated and loaded with Linux?

Lets leave my bathing habits out of this, shall we?
OTH the lunar poles might be a good place to "wait it out".
The moon is a frigid mistress
Doesn't sound like Bob Heinlein to have a woman like that in his story. Come to think of it I can't think of one.
According to wikipedia even pluto is 43 degrees kelvin. the sun shines enough even out that far that pluto is 40 degrees warmer than the CBR.
In the winter when the atmosphere freezes I bet parts of pluto get colder than 33 kelvin.

Why else would OpenBSD be distributed from Canada? And contributions of crypto code from the USA are very carefully checked IIRC.

My sister is a facebook nut and I could totally believe she would do this. (I mean rob a house and check FB while doing it).

Coincidentally, 2 954 312.71 is the phone number of the Islington Flat where a cleaning crew supervisor learned that he had lost a contract.
He probably thought it was infinitely improbable they would get caught.

. As you point out most gamers are over 18 so the 18+ rating would not deter game developers and 18+ games would proliferate.
...And so, the market would determine what should be produced, instead of an arbitrary governor.
Where's the problem?
I agree with you.

This the the Mac Plus with the formula for Transparent Aluminum on it!
I wonder if you can give it instructions by talking into the mouse?

Where can I sign up to become the exclusive Oregon dealer for these GPS blockers? If they pass the mileage-based vehicle tax, I'm gonna be rich!!!
I don't understand why the mileage-based vehicle tax doesn't just use odometers.
Don't use your internal password for anything external, like your hotmail account.
If you need to share your data with co-workers don't give them your password so they can log in and do it.
If in doubt, don't.
Oh okay. I thought you meant the VAX to Alpha migration stuff.
You need to start taking those numbers (wherever they come from) with large pints of salt. How do you even track Linux's market share when everyone can distribute it? How do you count those machines sold with Windows that get promptly formated and loaded with Linux?
Web server stats are pretty good for that.
Well they were porting only from VAX but the argument may still stand.
