Except I have 7 children, the last load of wash goes in about midnight, and my Wife, 2 older Children and I play Eve online until 2 Am. There's always activity as family members use the restroom in the middle of the night, raid the fridge or Momma and I are rocking the house on the rare moment that everyone *is* in bed and asleep. *Grin* Then there's the AC or the heater depending on the season. There's never silence in the home.
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat, and SETI already has the software and server resources to start to handle this. The expensive part though, will be the mechanisms for positioning, and reliably tracking in the night sky. Good tracking isn't cheap, as even the slightest vibrations will obfuscate really small objects. Add to that vibrations inherent on the roof of a home, Doors, washing machines, children playing, loud cars, wind etc. You would need a small solid tower separate from the home, as well as a lightning rod etc.
The Mithril vest could become a reality again! I can't wait. and I am really glad they didn't do the Spider - Goats. Had a hard enough time getting rid of those things with my faithful Sting...
Personally I have noticed smaller towns to be overrun with crack/meth houses and all the sex \ crime / and domestic abuse that you hear about from big cities. It happens on a larger scale "per capita" by a huge scale. The big cities have all the programs and resources to combat that kind of thing. Small town gov bare shows up for work during the week.
All these interstate highways have at least 50 feet of available burial ground between the lanes and small critters often don't have much of a chance at making it over to invade.
Can the car sense what is beyond the car in front of them presently to know to hit the brakes, should the car in front not be showing signs of needing to slow down?
Can you rely on more than one human driver in a thousand doing that?
Every Single Hour. That's why pileups are rare, and most commonly in weather that prevented view of the car ahead of the next.

They can team up all they want, it doesn't mean I will start using Bing. I am pretty sure Google is safe.
Integrating Bing with the FB search function aught to be fairly entertaining.

Now if you left it alone everyone would have thought you were making a point. :)

Wish I could Mod Op..

Good lord, so when I take over the Earth I am moving all of humanity to Africa and refurbishing the rest of the planet..
That is just an astounding perspective. Thank You!

In keeping with the status quo within apple I suggest naming the next OS "Robot Unicorn".

How much longer until we discover our existence occupies a locker in some hub of interstellar transportation?

Technically, removing either solves your problem...

Because all the rare earths the civilized world requires are so much more difficult to harvest when they are embedded in glass...
