Yes. And in the late 60s undergraduate agricultural engineering students at the U of I were using the heat given off by a chicken in designing chicken coops.

Bell Northern Research in Ottawa, Ontario designed its later labs to not only not require heating, but to pipe heat into the older buildings that still did.

Isn't there a preliminary phase in Good Science in which one looks to amass enough evidence for a hypothesis to justify the effort of properly testing it? At an early stage what may turn out to be good theory is indistinguishable from humbug.

This could revive a long dormant industry.

The alert is sent to a primary station in each area and daisy chained to others. WHQR is, I think, third in a chain. The alert hit there at 2:00:39. It got the start and stop "duck farts", but not the message itself. The scuttlebutt is that FEMA messed up the head end audio.

Being the color of Severian's cloak in Shadow of the Torturer.

That wasn't an "after" picture of the device under discussion, but of something else they claim to have blown up, and showed as a warning to be clear what you are bringing with you.

Perhaps the router could be connected to a dish above the booth pointed straight down like a street light. This could overpower other signals in your booth and reduce your interference to other users. Dishes at wifi frequencies aren't large.

Mickey has grown into a very bad rat. I would recommend warfarin.

This may be a nit, but my understanding is that a grand jury or other process binding a defendant over for trial is on the basis that the prosecution has enough evidence to convict in the absence of any refutation offered by the defence.

Over twenty years ago the USPS was working on a plan to install Group IV fax machines in post offices and offer a very fast document delivery service. Congress stopped them because they thought it would compete with private services. (Group IV fax produces copy about like a laser printer, and about as fast, but requires ISDN.) I suspect the same would have happened had they tried to offer email.

All they are asking for is a registered voter's name and date of birth. Email addresses are no problem; use throw aways from foreign ISPs. Then start reading those obituaries.

In a major campaign lists generated by canvassing of voters who have moved would work also, although getting birth dates might be slightly harder.

I don't think there is a defense against that. You have to sign a third party release for your current insurance, and the insurance companies pool data. Physicians have to code diagnoses and treatments and key them into the system to get paid. Your nosey friends might not have access, but the people you most worry about do.
