"It's an effective excitation that at some level looks like a monopole, but it's not really fundamentally a monopole." Read the article.

At New Orleans, the average flow rate is 600,000 cubic feet per second. That's 4493400 gallons. If they close the gates (thereby blocking the flow of the river.) the pumps cant even keep up with the average river flow much less a flood. Or am i missing something?

It would seem that the on off could be dealt with. As far as tracking goes, it would be just like any other cell phone.

We eat at the fast food places when we are on a trip, but that is about it.
If one eats at any of them on a regular bases they will have bigger problems than getting fat.

Years ago i hunted with the Seminole for gators. They would glide up next to them in a swamp boat (like a canoe with a flat bottom) and hit them in the head with an ax. One hit was all it took.

WOW Just build a house of the same size and save couple bucks.

I once saw a Harley tow a loaded 1 tonne truck about a half mile. Not very far, but I wouldn't want to do it. I agree with Sid.
