If we were to actually end up in a war against the owners of these we could likely create a counter weapon in short order since they cannot be hard to take out.
Kites fly away in the direction of the wind. What happen when that point rotate in the direction of the sun? Does it come fluttering down into the atmosphere? Perhaps it just winds the cable around the planet.
That could create a truley global yo-yo for the alien children to play with.
Since Gobal warming will melt a lot of the water from the poles we can keep current coastal cities dry by pumping unused energy into the oceans to boil away the excess. We could also beam the energy down to Antarctica or Greenland since almost nobody lives there yet. There are huge sections of Canada and Siberia available too.
Another idea is to get the power down via the kite string since it already goes from source to sink any way.
...This system looks like it might be useful in certain not-too-common situations where you can't reach the tumor with anything else. It's like, when you're working on a car, having an offset screwdriver that can reach a blind screw that's hard to reach any other way.... sadly, those cancers they mentioned are inevitably fatal, within 6 months to a few years....
I am one of these "not-too-common situations".
Thanks for the write-up, but I am not sure I feel a lot better now.
I have had a biopsy so I already have an extra hole in my head. My tumor interfeers with the muscles of my right eye. My tumor is in my mid-brain. My lungs or heart will likely stop getting signals from my brain at some point. I will likely suffocate or drown despite not being in water or having any damage to my lungs or breathing muscles.
I must admit it is frustrating to see this kind of potential treatment stagger through clinical trials when people like me have little to nothing to lose. I have 3 young children so I actually have reason to try and prolong the inevitable.
Let me get this straight. The space craft will either attempt to land on the moon, go further out into space OR return to Earth.
What other options are there? Disapear into anoher dimension? They could just let it ride and manage one of the three no matter where the thing goes. If their calculations or timing are wrong or if they experience mechanical failure, they will at least hit their target.
Maybe sinking NY in a fiscal mess will take some of the focus from the feds. The press will take their eye off the fed deficit, perhaps because state deficits are out of control.
Perhaps the excess CO2 could be used in stabalizing thrusters on the ship, station, or other satalites maintenanced? Didn't they serve wine on the 2001 a space odyssey?
...explaining exactly why the movies fail so horribly.....
I do not think that means what you think it means. Please define fail because I cannot seam to find a way to apply any definition I know of to those movies.
As an example, when I tucked my 10 year old son in tonight, he showed me his latest LEGO Star Wars Clone Wars creation. He described every feature, It was a great bonding moment (Thank you George for giving me this connection, it means a lot to my son).
There are plenty of brains to screw around with, but you need something to compare with or you fail to really learn anything. Finding people with similar enough conditions so you can monitor against a control is the hard part. I have an inopperable GBM inside my mid-brain. I am currently 29 months into a 12 month prognosis, what exactly do I have to lose? Not much, so why not let them anesthasise me and give new things a whirl? It is most likely I will die of asphyxiation or my heart will simply stop. Either my lungs or heart will simply stop getting communication from my brain. Dying while knocked out on an OR table doesn't sound so bad when staring down that barrel.
Let them monitor us and everyone else. I bow to our alien overlords declaration of quantities as long as they provide us the numbers with a pretty slide show.
There is no such thing as centrifugal force. you feel disoriented (frame of reference) because you are trying to coordinate what you see with what you feel. Just because Wiki has an entry does not make it a real thing. btw, I was not clear on what I think you read the first line of, I was refering to your Wiki link.

Just keep it away from water after midnight

All submarine parts must be quiet too. I know the lid on the toilet in my bathroom is NOT.

Consumers want width for the peripheral vision on their first person shooter games and MMO games.
...This isn't rocket science....
Nope, it is brain surgery.

Many heart problems can be solved through prevention; sadly, the same cannot be said for many neurological conditions.
I just reduce my brain usage. Not a huge loss.
...but if we know anything about anything related to lasers, it'll be everywhere in no time flat....
Good because I am already 29 months into a 12 month prognosis. My need was in 2008 like many others.
Stories about another UFO:weather ballon, What is the difference. They are all full of hot air.
(in the voice of Eric Idle) Besides gun powder, what have the Chinese ever really done for us?

Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach. Those that can't teach, administer. Those that can't administer, manage.

the Star Wars fans want it though.
btw, red spiders don't sound that bad either.

...4) They had a pile of unused gold and didn't know what to do with it :)...
You may have been trying to be funny, but perhaps it is simply the cheapest material to work with.
I wouldn't think you could get a snake that big into a toilet.
Well golly gee wilikers, I'm as shocked as a June Bug at a power station.

As far as I know the speed of light is absolute.
