Comment Makes interplanetary missions more interesting (Score 1) 121

This gives the astronauts some more intellectual material to spend their time on in the otherwise potentially-boring interplanetary missions. Of course, the term 'intellectual' may be a stretch. Could also be a reason to spruce up a locally-stored-thread-type service, to give the astronauts something that they could read without a 16-minute wait. Their replies would still have a long wait, but who cares, it's not like they are clicking on a hyperlink.

Comment Changing the password should be a permissive (Score 1) 102

You should not be allowed to get the system running unless you change all the default passwords. Too bad if this a problem. The documentation should say in big letters "NOTE: THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE UNTIL YOU PROVIDE NEW PASSWORDS FOR ALL ITEMS THAT HAVE PASSWORDS. To do this please follow these instructions..."

Comment Microwave kills WiFi (Score 1) 451

When using my Inverter microwave, the strong WiFi signal is lost. I took a GE Inverter back because of this, and got a Panasonic, but the Panasonic would up also killing the WiFi. Yikes. It is probably not microwaves that are escaping from the oven, but probably a bunch of EMI from the inverter. Surely not ionizing but nasty enough to wipe out the WiFi.
