perhaps you need an update of the real science - try this for a start. http://www.skepticalscience.co...

.... yes I'm old enough to remember building electronic stuff from discrete parts, and now it is actually quite difficult to do so other than for complete trivia. Whilst some of the components are not discrete, this would be a fun project for kids and they would actually learn something from it.

Fucking nora can't any of you see a joke? Down-modded to a troll? I'm a died in the wool evolutionist who believes that the earth is significantly older than 10 00 years and that the earth is likely not the only place that life exists. Further the Bible is a collection of stories that have been selected to push a certain view that other "books" that do not follow that view are ignored or discounted. Merry Christmas!

God created the earth and its inhabitants - and therefore rods and cones - somewhere less than 10 000 years ago. Please, please keep this unscientific tripe off Slashdot - after all, all who post here are rational thinkers .... aren't we?

sad

A very nice use of existing and well known technologies and some clever manufacturing of other parts. "Well done that man!" as my father would say. Of course the naysayers who have't done a fucking thing as nifty as this will be "blah blah blah......".

what? are you suggesting most pilots can't tell the difference between a bird and a drone? Fucking get real...... these guys/gals have hundreds of hours of training which I have no doubt now includes looking out for the toys of fuckwits. Anyway, even if they do mistake a bird for a drone, I sure as hell as a passenger would want them to report it. Go and play with your drone - or your cock if you like that better.

He may be able to read and describe a weather map, or condense information from the weather bureau into digestible lumps, but that does not make him a climate scientist any more that me having a home weather station makes me a climate scientist. It makes us both weather tinkerers at best.

You obviously cannot read and comprehend what you read - perhaps you need to go back to grade school and get some lessons.. I didn't ask you to prove anything (although you have proved yourself to be an intellectual cripple). I asked you to provide compelling EVIDENCE that the earth is not warming. There is a load of EVIDENCE that it is if you can actually read more than comics. And posting as AC reinforces what a stupid prick you are.

wrong..... plenty of people give a shit, so unless you can provide compelling evidence that global warming is not happening - man made or otherwise - stop spreading your bullshit or get it published in a peer reviewed journal instead of here.

... the guys at my pub say that "all this global warming shit is fucking bullshit" and "if they want methane they can sniff my ass"

Thanks for demonstrating your superior intelligence and command of English. Please may I use your erudite comments in another forum? I'm sure they need wider exposure so that you get the exposure and accolades that you need.

A man can never have too many tools, just too few places to store them all.

Will there be any reception for mobile phones on many flights? After all the planes will be WAY above any towers. Or does this just mean that people will use their phones for games as they do now and calls when they get close to airports? serious question believe it or not .....

....then you've nothing to fear. Yeah Right .....
