Comment As of yet... (Score 1) 703

As of yet, I have not found where Anonymous has posted ALL their private and public communications.

Maybe they've posted it on WikiLeaks and that's the reason they're trying so hard to restore availability.

I mean, if Anonymous is requiring complete transparency of the U.S. government, they've lead by example by becoming completely transparent themselves...right?

Comment New FCC Building Sticker (Score 1) 179

This structure complies with part ## of the FCC Rules. Occupancy is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This structure may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this structure must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. BTW, Popular Science did a review on a new wallpaper that was comprised of Kevlar strands to help withstand explosions and such. They tested a brick wall with this stuff on one side and hit it on the other with a wrecking ball. The wall survived. Now if they can just add copper strands to the weave so that it can be a Faraday cage as well.

Comment Been done (Score 2, Informative) 150

Xybernaut did this back in the 90s with a monocle hud, voice recognition, and a wearable cpu. It was underpowered, but saw some demand in the manufacturing and maintenance fields. I always thought it was a good idea and hoped it would go mainstream. Sony even threatened to make a 'ComputeMan' with the tech. I would have to agree that there's not enough demand and or it's too geeky.

Solar-Powered Moon Rover To Explore Apollo Landing 151

Mike writes "Carnegie Mellon roboticist Dr. William Whittaker has teamed up with Astrobiotic Technology to develop a solar powered moon rover that will explore the Apollo landing site in 2011. The photovoltaic clad robot features two electric motors in the hub of each wheel, and a half cone of solar generators up top that will power the wheels, run computers, and beam stereo HD video back to earth. The project has been entered in the $25 million Google Lunar X Prize competition."

Astronomer Photographs Meteor Through Telescope 81

Matt Rogers writes "Amateur astronomer Mike Hankey may be the first person on earth to take a picture of a fireball meteor through a telescope. The picture has been confirmed authentic by numerous professional astronomers and asteroid hunters. This picture could possibly be the first of its kind. Taking a picture of a meteor is a very difficult thing to do, taking a picture of a meteor through a telescope is near impossible. The hunt is on in southern PA for the meteorites that broke away from this space rock. Using Hankey's picture, as well as security tape, meteorite hunters have been able to narrow down the crash site to a smaller area. Even with the trajectory roughly determined, professional meteorite hunters think finding these meteorites may be near impossible. However if they are found they will be immensely valuable and could be very large."
