Perhaps you are not aware that HAARP's antennas all point straight up with relatively narrow beamwidth and resulting very high effective radiated power. With a 3.6 MW transmitter, the antennas are capabile of radiating with ERP of 5.1 GW. Certainly not your average news and music station!
Since HAARP has HF, VHF and UHF, and not satellite microwave systems,...
Given the very high transmitting power of HAARP, I don't think they have to transmit on the receiving frequency of the "target" receiver, or even in the same frequency band, or anywhere near that part of the radio spectrum for that matter, in order to cause serious damage to the electronic circuits of the target system. .
And if you are at all shy about using the same p/w manager as everyone else, I recommend PasswordSafe by Bruce Schneier of TwoFish encryption fame. Get it at SourceForge.
I read it differently. Since the Indian government can already read the communications from all other brands of mobile phone, they have now asked RIM to help them break into the more secure transmissions from Blackberries. It was inevitable.

Gee, if M-S would only discover and use W3C standards, no one would have to use special browser hacks to make their websites work in any variety of different browsers.
It was only last month that I stopped using a Linux box with a modem. It was an old HP-Kayak machine bought surplus some years ago. Now I have moved everything over to a newer machine with eth0 connection. Updates are much faster now!
I have used PAF for many years. Tried other programs too but always came back to PAF - straightforward, bugfree, and free. Like all the good programs, it can import and export data in the standard GEDCOM format. There is also a companion program (also available free from the LDS) called 'PAF Companion' that will print all the basic charts that you might need to display your family tree.
But in the end it doesn't matter much which software you use. Good genealogy comes from carefully collecting and evaluating your information. Getting there is more than half the fun.
This is the same government that has destroyed the accuracy of the Census
That is just one example. If you use daily and monthly weather summaries prepared by Environment Canada (in charge of the Canadian weather service), you will quickly discover that they have redefined the daily mean temperature as the median temperature.
"The mean temperature in degrees Celsius (C) is defined as the average of the maximum and minimum temperature during the day."
It has been like this for a few years now and I suppose it is because Mr. Harper's staffers know how to divide by 2 but not by 24. Of course, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has not authorized any Canadian atmospheric scientist to speak out about this, so it has gone unnoticed.

What is it about "nuclear" that makes people's brains turn off?
The same mindset, I guess, that prompted the medical profession to quietly change the name of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI) to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Nobody wanted an NMRI but now people line up for an MRI, at least here in Canada.
Yes, _electrical_ energy, which is what I assumed ClintJCL was talking about, but evidently he was not. I will accept your conversion figures for the equivalent energy. During that month I used 486 cubic metres of natural gas for heating at a cost of 206 $. (There are lots of service fees!) Guess I had better paint my roof white for summer.
5000 kWh? Wow! You must use electrical heating! I live near Ottawa, Canada, and used only 929 kWh for the same month (Dec 2008) with a monthly mean temperature of -7.7 deg C. My roof area is probably the same as yours. We have natural gas heating which cost me 206 $.

Isn't deuterium just heavy hydrogen (nucleus consisting of proton plus neutron). Why would it necessarily be a gas under normal circumstances (at STP)?
"Canada has a proud heritage of this. One province forced the entire country to have to be effectively bilingual."
Sorry, but there is only one bilingual province in Canada and that is New Brunswick. Quebec is not bilingual (try to get service in English!) and Ontario is not bilingual (try to get service in French!), and British Columbia and Alberta will never be bilingual (well, maybe English and Japanese). The other provinces, well... it's not an issue.

It can be proven that tomatoes kill. Any person who eats tomatoes eventually dies. Tomatoes are so toxic and habit-forming that they eventually kill anyone who eats them. If they stop eating tomatoes, they will eat something else as a substitute but that still kills them too. Strangely, even people who are born and grow up without ever having eaten tomatoes all eventually die anyway due to the lack of exposure to toxic tomatoes. Tomatoes are truely a two-edged sword. I have not tested the effect of mercury on this fatal tomato toxicity.

It is quite amazing how many words in English are also derived from Latin. I suppose the English-speaking part of the world must also be part of Latin America.

You're right, that is exactly what happened. Silly me!

I don't think so. I vaguely recall that on Earth the speed corresponding to Mach 1 at sea level is quite different than at 15 km altitude.
What is the speed of sound in the Martian atmosphere, anyway? This is what they mean by Mach 1, isn't it?
