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."
Death by the Metric System! (Score:5, Funny)
Any self respecting patriotic American would recoil in horror on seeing km^2 in the headline! Bad things happen with metric titles; witness:
9 mm - A Nicholas Cage movie about snuff movies.
21 grams - a Sean Penn movie about the weight of a soul.
Now if they'd just rounded it up to 250 acres, there would be less commotion!
