    Yes, but you have to be really close to the unit in front of you. Move s few wavelengths away and it will detract around the unit shadowing you.

    ..and japan is probably #1 by jumping from buildings. Who cares. If I'm going to kill myself, I'd rather have a gun to do it.

    Brown didn't just steal a back of smokes. He strong-arm robbed a store, physically assaulting the clerk. Then was shot for punching (at least once) a cop in the face (breaking his orbital plate), then trying take his gun. I would have shot the SOB too, as would any sane person. Martin pinned a gut down a guy, pounding the crap out of his face. Again, good riddance. Doubtful you have ever read the constitution.

    I'm sick of the whole "you have to be armed to be killed". That's not how the law works, and for good reason. If you are attacked you have every right to defend your life. Micheal Brown and Trayvon Martin are both thugs who deserve what they got; good riddance.

    Should I feel bad for taking my 8 YO out to play it? Waited several hours to sign up, then it let me in. This thing is going to result in lots of police calls with people snooping around at night. Dead batteries and dropped phones too. Who decided what landmarks get in the database?

    I call BS on professional airline pilot. Pilot in general, sure, due to general aviation. But no way on commercial aviation.

    So who copied classified into, verbatim, from JWICS to their computer or phone? Seems the FBI or DOJ don't give a shit.

    Ditto. The firetv doesn't even need to be rooted to install kodi; Amazon doesn't give shit. Prime and Netflix still work fine.

    Sheesh, just leave it alone. Seems like they are trying to teach "coding" a younger and younger age. The interested ones will figure it out on their own.

    $16,000 retail maybe, but probably $1600 to manufacture, so that is the true loss.

  18. Just major in EE, where you get your ass kicked, and 2/3 of the students really do flunk out after 2 years. Then they won't feel so bad.

  19. What about the space at atomic scales? on Universe Is Expanding Faster Than We Thought (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    What about the space at atomic scales? Is that expanding? Given the (shitty) units of 45 miles/s per mega-parsec; that is 2.4E-18 m/s/m. That rate is about 1/1000 diameter of a hydrogen nucleus per second. Or it would take 2000 years to double the diameter of a hydrogen atom. Is that actually happening; seems not?

    Their whole concept has problems, not even taking into account the nonlinearity. In order to get the gain they need, they need large arrays, but those arrays only work in the far field; several array dimensions away, so their gain is limited by target distance. Maybe they could get it to work with arrays on the walls and ceilings forming standing waves at the targets.
