I do not remember where I first read of these towers, and as such like to think I was one of the first people to think of them! Therefore it is a shame that I do not have an engineering degree to go along with such a brilliant idea!
I wonder if the desert dwelling lizards and other critters would seek shelter under the canopy of the tower?

australian army officials are trying to determinehow a mushroom smoking, dijeridoo blowing, hippie unknowingly discovered the site of a top secret nuclear test detonation in the middle of the outback...
We must soon advance on a personal level to no longer need more than the quintessential Australian aboriginal. Imagine, if you will, yourself in their clothes by the side of a road as a glutton in a SUV drives by, when re-evaluate the meaning of "primitive".
Imagine the same Aborigine seeing your coddled butt parked in a Starbucks with a laptop and sneering at your "gluttonous" neighbors.
Ah, I liked the Netherlands. Only problem I had with language was when I said 'hello' to someone, they thought I was speaking Dutch
I would guess your attention from UK recruiters, and possibly your hirability, are due to their staggering abuse of keyword searching. I had a recruiter refuse my cv.pdf explicitly because their candidate database only indexes word documents. If you have a cv posted somewhere with nice keywords like 'ASP.NET 7 years commercial' (my condolances if you do) you probably catch a lot of searches regardless of anything else in there.
That's a good tip about the blogging. I'm employed out of the tech field at the moment, and my Google presence is weak. Obviously a tech blog isn't a quick fix but it would be a good way to expose my abilities which aren't tied to a job description.
Planck units since the Big Bang is the only way! Let's see: ~5.4E-44 seconds per unit, ~1.37E10 years since the Big Bang ~= 2.53E53 decimal = 2A4359FEF2C78D94A50F53B75B35AA648000000000000 hex, which should take about 180 bits to store.
The number RSA-768 was taken from the now obsolete RSA Challenge list as a representative 768-bit RSA modulus. This result is a record for factoring general integers. Factoring a 1024-bit RSA modulus would be about a thousand times harder, and a 768-bit RSA modulus is several thousands times harder to factor than a 512-bit one. Because the first factorization of a 512-bit RSA modulus was reported only a decade ago it is not unreasonable to expect that 1024-bit RSA moduli can be factored well within the next decade by an academic effort such as ours . . . . Thus, it would be prudent to phase out usage of 1024-bit RSA within the next three to four years.
