The observatory consists of 27 independent antennas, each of which has a dish diameter of 25 meters (82 feet) and weighs 209 metric tons (230 Short tons).

The flat surface to dish per the original article is a trick where you vary the electrical distances of each of the patches on the flat surface to shift the signals as though they were spatially received by a dish shaped surface. You can apply the same trick to dish antennas which have much better directional gain than flat patches and do a super gain antenna.
Citizens need the right to record any public police action, and any police action in which the individual citizen is involved. This needs to be a law now.
The public needs a clear law allowing for the recording of police actions and allowing for the recording to be owned by the citizen and protected from seizure by police officers. Some police do lie, some police do overstep the bounds, some police protect fellow officers.
Non-profit organizations tend to be of the community centered local skills development political lean. If they are true to their ideology they should be using open source.
Using Microsoft software is not very community focused and even if they are not paying for it they are supporting the monopoly through futher extending the install base. And the talent level in local software is limited to install the software and if it fails, reinstall it.
The church is struggling for relevance in the modern world. This does not help.
Sounds to me like the Catholic Church wants to go back to the old days of an illiterate flock lead in a latin mass. Because then people had a more "realistic" connection to things that were important like tithing or the consequences of no doing so.
Now that we have pictures we can identify future devices. When you find one, wander over to a freeway gas station and replant it on an interstate truck. At least make them work to recover it.
I vote they point that honking big power laser at the moon for a couple of years so they can work out any bugs in the targeting control system.
They can always use the power to work on in-situ zone refinement of lunar material. Or carve honking big glowing letters into the moon and sell the advertising space to fund the work.
Most houses have more than one PC. It is stupid that they all separately download the patches from the source. How about an option to share patch downloads across a local network. Nominate one machine as a master then all the other machines check with the master for their patches. The master is responsible for contacting the source.
Secure payment communications is old hat. I wonder how secure the pricing information is. You could hack the communication to the local vending machine or do some DNS hacking on the source to the upstream feed where it reads the actual market price.
Set the price per ounce to 1/10 (1/100, 1/1000) of the actual market and you could make some pretty good money.
Uhm we pay for the right to copy. The Canadian branch of the RIAA fostered a levy on CD-R media a while back the levy also applies to MP3 players and the like. We pay for it so they can take their complaints about pirates and stuff it.

Actually after lobbying for years and being happy about getting the levy they now want it removed.
File a stolen property case against John Doe and request the release of the data. The case can be made for the dogs value to be over $200. If it is a rare breed then $500 for sure.
Make it criminal and not civil and watch the people with the dog return it as quick as possible. I doubt anyone wants criminal charges over a dog.
So how does the gun aiming work ? Is it any good with the Move?
I hate the wii gun aiming. It does not calibrate at all. So you need to be a fixed distance from the screen for the best results. And aiming from the hip where you move your hands in response to what you have on the screen works better than sight aiming where the cross hairs do not track the sights over the full screen.
The simple attachment of the SD card to Pigeon is not RFC1149 compliant
The network transfer includes basic validation of the data transfer at the receivers end. The pigeon method as described does not. To be fair they should be implementing RFC1149 - Standard for the transmission of IP datagrams on avia
Do you think violent and suggestive games should not be sold to vulnerable young children ?
Or did they also ask
Do you think parents should supervise children in the playground ? Do you think parents should prevent children from watching some TV shows ? Do you think parents should prevent children from playing some violent games ? Do you think parents should supervise children who play online games ?
I would like to see how the second set of questions line up with the first.
I can't even read the referenced article but I can tell you the phase ""Back in 1936 — 74 years ago — boffins accepted that about 3.3Khz was the accepted frequency that telephone calls are going to run on" is totally wrong.
What they meant to say was that the relevant bandwidth for understanding speech would be from 100Hz to 3.4kHz. Making the required bandwidth be 3.3Khz.
The argument for most laws is public safety. That is the reason for speed limits.
If this gets passed then speeding is purely a money grabbing effort by the government and a differentiation between those with money and those without. A good lawyer should be able to defeat any traffic ticket if this gets passed, doubly so if the argument is in front of a jury.
To create new products and innovate in markets you need Research and Development. You can't be a me-to follow on that wins with low manufacturing costs. R&D requires a different mindset and a whole new way of planning. It means risk taking but balancing the risk carefully with planing and strategy to correctly evaluate and drop things that are not going to work as well as properly spend on the high quality part where it is needed.
The difference between text and email routing and voice routing. Store and forward vs streaming. Caching. How Cell provisioning works in wireless networks.
How search works, how the electronic maps work with overlay data. How an electronic store works. How bank/cash machine networks and cash registers work securely. How the bank card system works.
These days most screens are wider than they are taller. And text still reads better vertically. So the height is valuable real-estate while there is side space to waste. My desktop has the application bars hide on the left/right.
It is a great US myth that corporations fund the government. The actual facts are that the people pay more. Also the citizens vote. So why are the politicals doing the behest of the corporations ?

We are not going to use all the resources, when the going gets tough we are going to turn on each other.

If religion were not called religion it would be a recognized psychotic disorder of the delusional variety.

Swearing is relative to a perceived base.
On the old people stodgy baseline it is all swearing, even "boobies".
On the young people base line "fuck" is emphasis mark.
Language changes. Swear words are something that change quite quickly.

Happiness costs $4.5M. You just get paid in installments.
(Assumes you live to 75 and spend 15 years as a kid living under someone else'es $75k/year)
Also what about taxes and living expenses ? Is this rural Texas or downtown Boston ?
