How do entangled particles "seem" to communicate? Everything I've ever read points to one particle just being the opposite of what the other one is (eg. up spin on one, down spin on the other).
Simple. Cameras are cheap and easy to implement. Think about it. Most smartphones have two cameras built in, and that's on a device that sits in your pocket most of the day.
It's actually a phased array technique. However, it has significant challenges with timing, since now motion of the antenna becomes a huge factor (more than 1/4 wavelength in position uncertainty shits out the effect of an individual element. This will be fine for antennas that are solidly connected to buildings in the lower bandwidths, but useless for 1800/1900 MHz on towers. Yes, they do move that much.
Since this is likely to be a self-healing/self-adjusting network, I would imagine it would depend more on how quickly the antennas move rather than the fact that they do move.
In 1960, a phone call could be placed from any point in the United States that had a 10 lb telephone hard-wired to it to any other point in the United States that had a 10 lb telephone hard-wired to it and the sound quality would be consistently good.
FTFY.
... and the sound quality would be consistent. A lot depended on where the source and destination were, and the trunk quality between the various stations, but once you had a circuit, you had a circuit for the entire duration of the call, even if there was crosstalk, line noise, or what have you.
Of course I do, and so do you even though you may think you don't. I suggest you go out to your parked car, put your hands on the wheel, close your eyes tight and try to adjust the heat or the radio. Then do the same thing with your eyes open and tell me which is easier.
You look even with mechanical controls. You don't feel for how the temperature knob is set, you glance at it first. That glance tells you the current setting, plus enough location information so that you can reach for the control "blindly". It's not the looking that's the problem. The problem is the duration that your eyes are not on the road while finding the control and making the adjustment. What you do not want is to require continual visual feedback while adjusting the controls. With this system you do not need visual feedback, but it is there in a format that is glanceable, even peripherally visible, if you want it.
So you put four fingers on the pad, take a quick glance at the bar graph along the side of the display, and say "Sorry pal. We're at 90% of full temperature now, and I am not permitted to breach that reserve except in times of war, or with my wife's permission.".

Most digital cameras will also detect infrared. You can photograph the output from a TV remote control, but you can't see it. So if you flood the region with IR, the cameras will record a glare, but people will see normal. If you pulse the IR and the bus cameras at the same rate, but out of phase, the bus cams will be able to record normal video, but other cameras would record a wash of IR.

That is the point. The majority of slashdot regulars DO NOT LIKE, NOR WANT BETA. The hope is that if by raising a stink, the powers that be will nix beta. You say you are here for the comments, but beta's comment system is seriously broken. What you come here for, what we all come here for, may no longer exist if beta gets implemented. Check your comments page and tell me how your comment was moderated, or how many people replied to it. Quote this text in a reply. Post anonymously. Can't be done in beta. Can't be Slashdot without it.
Apparently the GP only ever learned the C major scale. That's surprising for a programming-aware individual who should have at least heard of C#.
It's not accidental. The definitive work on the concept specifies eight notes. However, regardless of the specifics, the point remains: You can build highly complex constructs out of a small number of simple components.
Slashdot Mirror
In a surprise vote at the UN, the General Assembly accepted a proposal from Krasnovia to rename the planet. The new name is "Alderaan."
Why? They're not building this on Mimas
Earth-Sun Lagrange points 1, 4 and 5, high inclination orbits, and probably a handful of other types.
All cars manufactured since 2008 are required to have the equivalent of a cell phone built into the the car's network.
You got a citation for that claim?

As in, go ahead boys. Line up.
Um... that's a cue to queue.
Simple. Cameras are cheap and easy to implement. Think about it. Most smartphones have two cameras built in, and that's on a device that sits in your pocket most of the day.
...and people still are willing to pay $1500 for it? Holy Crap! I thought Apple's fanboys were insane!
The two aren't mutually exclusive.
Also a phone has communication capabilities built right in. A car... not so much.
Elop* isn't a word. Perhaps you left off the trailing E on Elope?
*Elop is sometimes used as a short form of the genus name Elopidae (Pacific ladyfish), like pachy might be used as a diminutive of pachyderm.
This topic is about fracking wells, not being well fracked.
Bravo. Well played.
But here’s the key innovation: No one antenna would send the complete stream or even part of the stream.
So... the antenna sends nothing. Brilliant, now to hook it up to some torrent sites.

You look at your car controls?

If it ain't broke don't fix it!
You forgot Slashdot,
when the guy in the back seat says he's cold, I just want to make the car a bit warmer,
Here's what you do. Put four fingers on the touchscreen and drag up. Done. You don't have to look at the screen.

Pity the IR idea didn't work.

Did you see how easily I quoted your post in Classic Slashdot? It was a simple click of the Quote Parent button. Watch, I'll do it again:

How about Amy Mainzer or Lisa Randall.

Maned space flight? Most astronauts, especially the males, have short hair. Or are you suggesting... Lions In Space!
