I dont get why this is useful even if your being stalked.

If they are a cyber stalker and never physically visit your house, then them having a picture of your house is harmless.

If they physically visit your house, then they can take a picture of it themselves anyway.

It would be different if it was real time video of your house. Or even a picture which was updated daily.
But a once off picture from the street seems harmless.

Thats just because your not used to it.
For me 20-25 is the comfortable range. 30 is hot. 40 is stupid hot. 0 is freezing.

The only thing 70F tells me is that I have to convert to celsius to have any idea what it means. Roughly subtract 30 and divide by 2. So 70F is about 20C. So comfortable.

Rubbish, while its true that WRESAT built on work done in the SPARTA project, which was a joint Australian/British project. WRESAT was entirely Australian.

Tue, the rocket was an american Redstone rocket. But the satellite was built in australia by WRE in conjunction with the University of Adelaide.

What I would be worried about is what happens if your insurance company finds out.
You have health insurance, you go get the test and discover that you have a high risk of heart disease or cancer.
That knowledge is now on your medical record. Your insurance company finds out about and drops your cover.

And no other company will write you a policy at a reasonable cost because your now a high risk.

You don't sell your research to Nature. You submit it for publication and are overjoyed if they accept it. Nature is the most prestigious publication in the field of biology bar none.
But as far as I know, theres nothing stopping you from putting it up on your web site as well or submitting it in publication in other journals.

So it being published in Nature doesnt stop it from being publically available. Its just that the other copies might be harder to find..
