Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder Goes Live 25
New submitter Random Data writes "Australia's initial part of the Square Kilometre Array has officially opened. 36 dishes out of the eventual 96 are now online, with a data output of 40Gb/s (and the article includes LoC conversion!). More info is available from CSIRO."

But But But! I was told they were just a patent troll.
CSIRO is far from a nerdy overload group looking into space. They have had a much bigger impact than many people give them credit for. They've done immense research on Alzheimers, they were fundamental in the creation of Relenza (an influenza treatment), they are the biggest researchers in carbon capture and storage, not to mention their research on animal health and diseases which has helped farmers world wide.
Forget simply licensing technology from them, give them a bloody donation. In this case your life may actually depend on it.
