Think about it, wavelength (or frequency, they're effectively the same measurement here) determines how fast you can transmit those 1's and 0's. It's not slower, it's just that you can't transmit as much inform

The big problem is getting through the Earth's Atmosphere. Space observatories are nearly exclusively located on mountains or areas with little atmospheric 'pollution'. I'd imagine even the OPALS system can only be used

Are you really suggesting a Hitleresque racial motive behind these experiments? Or just sad that black males (in that locale) have a higher incidence of homicide, and therefore more likely to be suitable for this procedure?

That could really work, especially as most frauds like this are performed using PAYG mobile SIMS, however, they're more likely to exploit it with a 'number unknown' similar to what we have today with Caller ID. This could wor

This is very good advice. However, it would be great if Google could introduce a time element to filters. i.e; 'apply label 'ToRead' if email is over 5 days old and is unread and move to 'unread' folder'. Or &#

My suggestions would be: 1. Seperate work and personal - There is no need to be receiving emails from friends, Amazon or whoever when you're at work. Have a separate Inbox to process these, they will be waiting for you when you chose t

The problem with linking karma to up/down votes is that it prevents people from posting anything that is contrary to popular opinion and therefore downvoted, even if it may be well thought out or, shock horror, factually accurate too!!

Your post could read word for word about any military or civil program with the ability to wield force. Should we also scrap our space program, navy, air force, police force or even law courts? I agree with your point, but this is just a ne

One of the big problems, at least in the overcrowded UK, is getting your hands on a suitable parcel of land in an area sympathetic to this sort of development.

I'm still disappointed however that there is not greater public awareness about the problems of over-fishing. Infact, I'd go as far as to say there is zero public awareness about where fish actual come from. It sounds silly I know

Isn't revealing your location the whole point of taking a picture from your hotel window and sharing it with the world on Twitter? I wouldn't be too surprised if I posted "I'm in Miami, and here's a view from my Hot

Yes the keyboard navigation is great, I didn't notice it at first. Whilst I agree with danso's comment below, that there is too much to look at on harlembiospace.com vs. HN, I think a hybrid between the two would be great. HN list
