"There are actual legitimate road blocks to using molybdenum in place of silicon. OMFG the plants!11!!! isn't one of them."
Okay, you tell that to a HUGE hydroponics industry responsible for keeping YOU fed by producing the food you buy.
They need that molybdenum WAY more than you do.
We also need that molybdenum for other things, like medical agents.
Oh, wait, those medical agents tend to come from PLANTS.
I have futures in all kinds of elements, from molybdenum to iridium. Why not use something with a higher band gap to reduce the current leakage any further? You've got TONS of other materials that are better suited (and I can think of several off the bat from my own experience in the optoelectronics industry workign alongside Cree and Nichia.)
I don't think you're even close enough to having the relevant experience to be able to talk, sir. Come back when you're actually fabricating semiconductors, okay?
"If I can see what you're doing from outside of your property, you're not handling your privacy correctly. It's your fault."
Then you better keep your ass in the house, because I see what the fuck you're doing on your front yard. Don't bother mowing the grass, or I'll be spying on you.
What you suggest is bullshit and you're a fool for suggesting such.
"Also, if you're routinely writing down things people yell out their window (or especially one person's house), that's exceptionally creepy behavior. I have no idea if it's illegal or not, but jeeeeeez."
Are you that ignorant to not know what gossip consists of?
Ouch, back to school for you. Preferably middle school, where this type of behavior typically begins.
WHO GIVES A FUCK YOU NITPICKING COCKSUCKER!?!?!?!?!
Here, I'll write properly in his stead, so I may personally rip you a new gaping and bleeding anus, you worthless, Aspergers-ridden, brainless fuckwit.
Your mother is currently residing in my bed, performing fellatio on my wife. I'll be joining in shortly for a wonderful, cacophonic, and orgasmic experience, the likes of which you'll likely feel deep in your non-descended testicles as I fuck your mother's brains out of her mandibular orifice.
"Well, just pulling the connection physically would work to some extent, since it is a single building, but actually would result in loss to some pretty critical stuff. We really need to set up an emergency procedure so that we can cut off the net at large, but maintain connections to our critical servers if we need it."
Or you could bother to have half a brain and keep localized copies of essential systems/servers at each building, so each building can operate independently and pulling your outside plug does PRACTICALLY NOTHING, and you can restore full normal function after reconnecting and re-syncing.
Who in the world is doing the thinking at your work? Sounds like you need to fire them. That took me all of ten seconds to figure out with three additional backup plans.
See all the shit we threw out into space? That came from us.
We have LESS MASS. Of course our kilogram is suddenly going to get lighter, even by the tiniest fraction of an amount, as we have LESS GRAVITY DUE TO LESS MASS.
Holy shit was that too hard to figure out, scientists?
"and finding it can alert the individuals using the repeater that someone is looking for them."
No. You're not transmitting, you're receiving. Unless there's some active security around the repeaters (like a camera) they're not going to know one thing about someone tracking them. There's a reason you observe RADIO SILENCE while tracking down a radio signal. You're supposed to be listening, not broadcasting.
"Just like your searches for eclipsing binary stars have a cost in time, equipment and expertise,"
Fifteen bucks in parts and the knowledge of how to graph or make a CVS chart, not very expensive at ALL. Now imagine, I can find certain types of stars with fifteen bucks in equipment, FROM LIGHT YEARS AWAY.
You think it's THAT HARD AND EXPENSIVE to track a radio signal on EARTH?
At least three of the arrests were done without a warrant, so guess what, moron? Those people had a right to fuck the FBI up if they had the capability.
"It's not an attempt you'll survive, however. If you start shooting at a SWAT team as they attempt to serve a warrant and arrest you, they'll start shooting back- and you'll be dead."
And all it takes is for that one person to be unarmed and a bunch of pissed off witnesses to see it to start a full-on riot.
Did you forget Rodney King or what, holmes?
What's a SWAT team going to do when an ENTIRE CITY is on their ass? NOT ONE FUCKING THING.
As mentioned in the response above to another, directional signals are rather simple to find due to limitations. Repeaters are REALLY simple to follow with a simple signal strength meter. Now harmful interference might be one issue but the problem is there's always a pattern to emerge if you made a CVS plot. Visual analysis usually works well for this (this is how I find eclipsing binary stars out in space.) Interspersing your transmissions across different frequencies will either increase or decrease your available bandwidth so you need to keep your transmission (if data) pretty tight in a certain range or higher, whereas voice can jump everywhere, but eventually it is predictable to find.
It doesn't take determination, just a little thought into inherent weaknesses of each method and exploiting them. Basic security.

LMFAO.
RAID-0 and short-stroke to the outside of the platters.
You could smash 20Gbps easily.
'I could stream what like 40 blurays simultaniously? Don't need it."
I have one program that would bring such a connection to it's fucking knees in less than five minutes.
Camfrog.
Let me see what you're doing with over 1,000 simultaneous client connections and streaming 100 webcam streams per client.
And now that program has HD camera streaming.
Bluray, LMFAO. Do you even know how to consume bandwidth like a professional?
""Once you emit any electromagnetic radiation outside the bounds of your property, you have no expectation of privacy whatsoever."
What a load of shite."
You're dead fucking wrong, sir. FCC regulations - learn them, live them, love them, or shut your mouth about that which you do not understand.
You LOSE, good day sir.
WTF slashdot? This was to go to AC, NOT williamhb.
Fix your shit, site designers/coders, or go back to school to learn how to create proper CSS.
Even my site has FAR FEWER errors than yours, and I admit I can't do CSS for shit.
Looks like you going corporate made you as dumb as your parent corporation.

"What part about being dragged thru court in every country on earth AFTER PUBLICLY FESSING UP do you consider unaccountable?"
The fact the entire fucking company isn't shut down for violating the privacy of practically every citizen on the planet.
The company should be 100% dismantled, its assets liquidated and the money given to everyone else.
Anything LESS is a full LACK of accountability.

Yea, right, that's what YOU think.
Try it with most any Belkin device.
Fuck, I have to change shit WEEKLY because Belkin just sucks that fucking much.
I don't even touch the PS3 now because the Belkin and almost every other router out there today are total pieces of shit.
Gigabit switch, bitch. Fuck your shit wireless.
I think you're mistaking slashdot for 4chan - get yourself a real name and ID or GTFO.

Time is based upon decay, not gravity.
Hello ATOMIC CLOCK.
If your son is a physicist then I'm the Queen of England.
"The differences are so minimal that I can hardly believe it matters."
Okay, let's put you in a plane designed using the new kilogram.
Are you going to trust it to take you around the entire circumference of the earth?
"If a bullet hit the ground five yards past a deer, it went under his legs, not through him."
Wanna know how I know you don't sit your ass in a tree stand to hunt deer?
Go the fuck back to 4chan or contribute something worthwhile to the discussion, newfag.
"You can't standardize pressure because to even define pressure you first have to define a kilogram. Circular."
Since it's circular the entire thing shouldn't be a scientific measurement in the first place.
No showable beginning? No standard.
Molybdenum is a CRITICAL trace element in the development of any food crop we have.
This reeks of the dumbest thing one could do, EVER.
Man can make it, man can break it.
Thinking otherwise is the dumbest thing ever.
That's just like saying something's fool-proof. There's always a better fool.
"Either you account has been compromised by your worst enemy or you had one beer too many tonight."
And what kind of drugs are you on that make this publicly available information a crime to post?
Incitement? Where's the threat of violence? All I see is a "You should call them, here's the contact info."
Christ, I sit here at a [9] and know better than that.
