It's not particularly good among "groups", either.
The idea that you would join a society dedicated to separating you from "regular people" based on your supposed superior intelligence is a pretty strange notion. Most of the people who I know are Mensa members are the type that couldn't get accepted to any other club.
But teachers unions, inefficiency, and alternative curricula and teaching styles are what has made the educational system a miserable failure despite astronomical sums of money being wasted on it. Long past time to blow it up, and purge almost everyone associated with it.
Hmm, I am surprised that they don't know. I think there are plenty of other people who do. RF effect from meteorite trails is a well-known phenomenon from radio (people were using it to bounce messages in the 30s)
Here are some people using it to track meteorites - very near the frequencies in question:
The necessary condition for bouncing a particular frequency is that the path lengths of the plasma are the right length (say, half a wave length or maybe 2ish meters) which seems entirely plausible as a distance associated with the width of the plasma trail. It would not be at all surprising if a tiny amount bounced back and forth like a cavity resonator, OR, reflected ambient signals that the telescope wouldn't have otherwise detected.
What point is there in calling this a "first-world problem"? Of course it's a first-world problem, the first world is the only place with enough overkill wealth to consider these impractical baubels like electric luxury cars with batteries that get melted down and rebuilt from scratch every 1800 miles. And are used going back and forth to Starbucks, while you whine about the injustice in the world caused by the 1%ers.
My idea - don't hook a toaster to the internet. If you want to set it to toast before you wake up, I can get you $5 60-year-old clock radio that will switch the power on when the alarm goes off.
Same with every other trivial example in this thread. Critical embedded system = don't hook to internet.
Right, but UNIX (all varieties) is rancid dog shit as an OS, compared to VMS. Everybody bitching about Windows burying Unix/Linux even though Windows is shit - the same relationship applies to VMS and Unix.
But for the most part these leftists are not dedicated to playing one ethnic and social group off against the other. The left in the US is dedicated to maintaining separation and division between the races because they know they can exploit it, and have gone into hyper-drive on the concept in the past, say, 6-7 years, to pick a random time frame.
To add to this, also sterilize it to practical limits given danger to the flight hardware. Many of the early Ranger lunar-impact missions had hardware failures on the way, eventually strongly suspected to have been caused by damage due to heat-sterilization:
OK, this has almost got to be a troll (tipoff being "old light bulbs", that sounds like someone posing as a newb/idiot), but, WTF??
The glass is to enclose the vacuum inside, hence the phrase "vacuum tube". Inside there are filaments just like a conventional light bulb. These usually heat a plate, which can then emit electrons via thermionic emission. This emission can be controlled by altering the voltages on the various parts. This permits many applications like amplification.
Almost anything we do today could theoretically be done using tubes instead of transistors, given the necessary input power. There are still many applications that are better done this way than with transistors, particularly, high-power and high-frequency radio transmitters, where transistors can barely be made to work
Systems with central administration has always been absolutely wide open to insider sabotage. Distributed systems can be made at least somewhat damage-limiting
As with others, I am amazed it doesn't happen either accidentally, or on purpose, far more than it does. You are basically one bit, or checkbox, away from it more-or-less all the time.
BTW, I note that the result was installing Windows 7. If it was doing that, does it mean they were running XP or Vista until just now?

You ever actually been to a gym? Like 24-hour Fitness? You will not find exceptional physical specimens there.

Isaac Newton was highly religious, even to the point of nutty u ==in his era. He invented modern science and calculus as a side project
Thanshin is much sharper, he posts smart-ass comments on the internet from his mom's basement.
There you have it, folks, another tolerant Slashdot mind!

So it doesn't seem that mysterious.
Or, just jump on a stagecoach pulled by unicorns. If you don't mind getting rainbow sparkles on your clothes, it's a good way to go.

If the code can't modify itself, what good is it?

Replaced by a new batch of equivalent fools.
This is why nerds almost always end up living in mom's basement.

Right, it couldn't possibly be that the entire idea is stupid to begin with.
Uh, yeah, I think we got that. But I am skeptical that this gives him proprietary rights to a symbol created something like 3000 years ago.
This is forced by "Truth in Advertising" laws.
When a new company makes a splash, they can expect a visit from the Jesse Jacksons of the world, running their usual shakedown.

Indeed, this is true. It's as clear an example as can shown for the toxic influence of class warfare by the left in this country for decades.

Once they backed off on the degree of sterilization, the rate of random failures dropped dramatically.
Having your permission to continue living my life as I choose certainly takes a load off of my mind! Whew!
Do you idiots ever actually listen to yourselves?

That's a real problem, and I am not kidding.
