More power to you (June 1 2007)
The planned June 9 electrical shutdown has been postponed until July 14 or 21. Campus has to do this because of some problem at the Lawrence Hall of Science, not Space Sciences Lab. I have heard something about a shutdown down on the actual Berkeley campus on June 16, but I don't know if that will affect our internet connections.

You may have heard about a couple of our favourite radio telescopes in the news in the last few days. The Allen Telescope Array has 42 of their small dishes installed, and hope to get them all phased together and running by the end of the year. This will help the SETI institute (located across the Bay from us) to perform ongoing SETI searches.

And there was an AP news piece about Arecibo, saying some engineers are going down there to assess the likelihood of NAIC having to close down the observatory. If you look around on the web you can see some pictures of the receiver platform covered with the big tarps used during the painting upgrade. There's also a meeting this September in Washington DC about the future of Arecibo, so it looks like there's no better time than now to start your petitions to save the world's biggest radio telescope. As someone who is constantly blown away by the striking and insightful views of our Galaxy (and nearby galaxies, I discovered just yesterday) imaged by Arecibo, I can't stress enough what a loss it would be to close that place. Maybe once the ATA has its 350 dishes in place, or the Square Kilometer Array is built, then Arecibo will be obsolete. But right now it's actually driving new frontiers in radio astronomy.

Appart for Anandtech's stats, it shows how much more/less than Anandtech.
Also shows based on Average Work Done how many days for Anandtech to overtake the team, or be overtaken by a team behind
