More than one fiber would be needed. There are 50 antennas each with multiple fibers connected to the correlator. A lot of thought went into it and despite the complications it was simpler to put the correlator there than 'down the road'.
I've done some checking and in fact I think it's the lower portion of your left ear lobe that is the center. Try not to shake your head so much it makes my GPS very confused.
Of all the commonly held beliefs this is one of my least favorite. The idea that you've only committed a crime or cheated if you get caught takes the whole tree in a forest thing to an absurd level.
The effects of your actions are real and measurable regardless of whether you're detected.
None of the new instruments can do what the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) can do. There's a continuum of frequency, sensitivity and resolution that can be examined and each instrument can sample a small fraction of it. The GBT is the largest single fully pointable dish and covers a few hundred MHz to 100Ghz, the VLBA is the longest baseline interferometer (other instruments can be cobbled together) and covers from 1 to 100GHz. The GBT is sometimes used in conjunction with the VLBA.
Certainly the new instruments have newer hardware but both the VLBA and GBT undergo upgrades to improve sensitivity. That's a much cheaper proposition than building a new version. Decommissioning them will leave a whole in the map of what the world's ground based telescopes can cover.
The panel was charged with assuming flat funding so each year less and less can be done. In that scenario something has to give and those instruments are an obvious choice but it would be incorrect to assume that new instruments would replace them. They'd mostly examine a different portion of the problem space.
Increasing funding would be a preferable option but that seems increasingly difficult in the current political environment. It's too easy to point at discrete chunks of 10's of millions that affect an isolated group than tackle the billions that affect everyone.
I knew somebody had to list The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. I forget how old I was when I first read it, probably 9 or 10 but it was the first (and nearly only) story I ever read that made me misty eyed. Mike's demise struck me as incredibly unfair. It never occurred to me there was anything odd about attributing human emotions to a computer even though the idea of a personal computer was still a few years off (mid 70s).
I haven't read it in 30 years I wonder if I'd still feel the same.
That not how prediction works in economics, sure in physics and chemistry and those other blue collar sciences that's how it works. In economics it's much more accurate, or at least comforting, to look at events and then see that, with proper interpretation, your model was correct.
I know it's SOP to not read beyond the headline or if you really want to the first sentence but the blatant failure to grasp the nature of the article is a bit sad.
The article is not suggesting that the government should demand first priority to the cloud, the article is pointing out several reasons why certain government functions should not be moved to the cloud (god I cringe just typing that damn word, We need a weather article so it can be used in a reasonable context). One of those reasons is it would require the government to have priority access. It's no different than the government's requirement to shutdown parts of the interstate system during an emergency.
Almost looks like the ISP's admin asking how to make it so new accounts get the right password in a scripted fashion. There are a few other admin type questions on pages asking how to use SAMBA and other cruft that include that password.
This is close, if dig returns a result at all be wary. You can never be sure but do you really want to be discussing illegal activities at a site hosted on Amazon Web Services (dig actually returns awsdns though that's probably synonymous with fbi.gov in this case) vs some dark net address.
Exactly. Proof isn't of any interest to them, only the assertion is of interest. It's like me asserting that Pi is equal to 4. Demonstrably false but if all I'm interested in is asserting it then you can't convince me I'm wrong.
Have you really seen any evidence that simple logical arguments will carry any weight. I certainly haven't. The agenda isn't to disprove evolution, the agenda is to assert the correctness of a literal interpretation of the Bible. There's virtually no way to have a debate with them, the only hope is a sufficiently large number of people will realize how woefully wrong they are.
However 100% of tiny little grass fires will uncontrollably spread and sweep thru town killing everyone and destroying everything.
How on earth is this +5 insightful, it's demonstrably ludicrous. By your argument since lightning (which causes many more fires) doesn't dial 911, all lightning started fires will grow to house eating, people killing monsters.
The other surrounding states (NV, CO, NM) have essentially the same laws about negligence as Utah and enforce them yet they've completely failed to burn to a crisp due to unreported gun caused wild fires.
Lastly a 5K acre fire like the one in the article would have been contained at roughly the same point whether the shooters had called it in or not. It would have been spotted by somebody and called in at which point the local fire crews would have set up fire lines in roughly the same spot. You don't fight a wildfire by running up to it and pouring water on it. At the time of the article after 24 hours they only have it 30 percent contained because you have to start well back.
If the idiots had simply taken a little precaution to remove brush from their target area none of this would have happened.
They already do in Utah. If you start a fire while welding (very common), camping, BBQ'ing etc if you're deemed negligent you will be facing fines. It's not a question of whether they could be fined (they can under Utah law) but whether they will be. If you accidentally start a fire in Utah you'd be wise to claim you did it target shooting, if you screw up and say you were playing with fireworks or cooking you're more likely to be fined.
I'm in no way suggesting they should be charged with anything, but negligence is a valid reason to be charged or fined in many cases including fire. If they'd been camping and caused a fire the very likely would have been fined.
I did a quick check, in no way thorough, and Utah appears to have laws like any other state involving negligence and fire. It also has some of the least restrictive gun laws. Whether these individuals get fined seems less an issue of legality (they could be) and more an issue of which side carries more clout. Recent history (20 fires no fines) suggests the state would rather not appear to be 'anti-gun' by simply saying 'geez guys try to be more careful'
Easy fix, just claim they're curing starvation. That's at least as lethal as malaria.
On a more serious note, it's worth thinking about why Ugandans think the nets are more useful as a fishing net beyond simply claiming they're a bunch of superstitious uneducated goofs. Starvation is a much more immediate problem there and while the the nets are being used for their planned purpose they may be saving lives in the short term, granted more efficient fishing is not a sustainable long term solution to over population.

They are used on satellites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_thruster#Operational_missions
I see no real point in waking you up, not like you're going to contribute anything when we do.

Intermediate Mass Black Hole.
The summary transposed the M and B.

A typical case of American Blind Justice.
The interstate example is almost exactly wrong considering the funding source for its creation and original purpose so strike that.

I was going to say FORTRAN but COBOL should work.
They also do not believe anyone has actually been burglarized since discovering this weak spot in security.
Sure, that's believable. It'd be bad if googling 'welkom01' turned up hits on free password sites but that'll probably never happen.
What's particularly humorous is forcing google to not include pages from the last week. One of the first pages is this gem from 2010.

And if somebody lets it leak that AF's water purifier is on the blink you'll know who to blame.
About all I can see that's new about this is that somebody somehow managed to work 'cloud' into the description.
We could rename it to "Bucksnort" in honor of Bucksnort Tennessee.
Or maybe name it Mianus after a river in New York.
I'd suggest a 3lb sledge.
No, but it will in 20 years. Brin's been working on a time machine.
