Additionally, plenty of academic papers, presentations, and posters are written with LaTeX. I would rather see people posting such material to the web (in PDF), rather than the alternative of not posting it, or spending time fighting to convert things to HTML and having it look awkward.
The way I understand it, if the elevator is tethered, the mass of the orbiting object can be in just the right orbit to put tension on the cable -allowing objects to climb the cable without pulling the elevator down.
If the elevator is not tethered, the elevator would need to be raised via rockets every time you loaded the cable and you would not be gaining anything over standard lift vehicles.
I'm pretty sure ~11 hours of solid use is going to be the point where people stop considering computer battery life to be a big deal considering that most people sleep within range of a power outlet.
I believe that had the article been about spam. We would be reading that really annoying "form post" about how "your technical solution to this problem will not work because..."
In other words: Hurt the innocent, the bad guys won't even notice.
They should do this with the shuttles. On the last mission, put an Apollo like capsule in the cargo bay so that the shuttles can be left in orbit. That would make one heck of a space station [sarcasm... sort of].
Piracy is rampant because it's easy to get stuff for free and not get caught. It has nothing to do with DRM.
It's actually quite possible to sell people stuff they can get for free (eg., Cable TV, bottled water, DVDs of TV shows.) You just have to add some sort of value to the free product, such as convenience or quality. DRM is backwards, it lessens the value of the paid-for product.
Trees withstand strong winds because they have a rather small drag due to their profile, and because they "sway" in the wind rather than breaking. As soon as you modify them to the shape of a house, and grow them around immovable steel structures, I believe you're going to lose those benefits.
Google doesn't pay Mozilla because they like firefox. They pay because Mozilla drives millions of hits to Google's search engine. As long as firefox is doing that, Google will pay (although, I'm sure they will only freely advertise their own browser now).
blind faith and "the best explanation congruent with several centuries of data collection by millions of people encompassing every nation, institution, and field of science" are two entirely different things.

Tacking random ads onto outgoing email is very unprofessional (Yahoo).

Better to have a living process rebind that carbon with hydrogen into useful biochemicals and free up the oxygen for later recombustion.
Free concentrated CO2 would be great for greenhouse/hothouse operators.
Windows users can have their "PC," I'll just call my Linux boxes a workstation, a set-top-box, a home server, etc. "PC" just sounds so bland anyway.

They do that here in Canada. I believe it's based on some sort of "reasonable attorney fees."
Man, I really wish I could "Threshold :1" real life.

No, actually, you just need to change the local for the spell checker by typing aboot:config in your address bar.
Since when does disobeying "guidelines and recommendations" mean you are breaking the law?
Just set the ESSID to "You are authorized," then everyone using it is authorized.
Umm... GNU IceCat or Debian IceWeasel? Maybe Swiftfox or just compile a rebrand.
Not that I don't think this is stupid. But there are ways around this.
I read it as "Pocket Protector." I thought, wow, this really is "news for nerds."

Are we gunna explode? I don't want to explode.
X is very usefull... If your name is Nixie Nox
(I like the sig)
Dude, go with a Bell reseller. Techsavvy, Acanac, etc. 2G? wtf?
I wonder if it has more to do with bored students writing malicious code, or bored students downloading "suspicious" content.
Somehow I don't think it's cost effective (leaving out the whole humanitarian costs like thousands of dead people):
Iraq War: $550 billion
NSF Budget for same period: $28.6 Billion
Which do you think is the better investment?

I think the trouble is sending the *right* people in to space. Then again, I suppose we could just start sending oil drillers, they get the job done.
