Aside from the obvious ( Do not look at nuclear explosion with remaining eye), you also get a nice EMP effect from nukes.
This would effectively eliminate the same satellites you are trying to protect.
Add to that, the problem of other countries not liking the idea of an orbital nuke launch, protests against nuclear weapons, political implications, making utility purpose for Nukes, etc.
Welcome to the world of latency ( slow to process). What you are describing is a mesh network, and has already been implemented in some places, but it is limited by the reliability / capacity of your neighbors equipment. Just trying to keep track of the fastest path to a destination will generate a lot of traffic on the mesh.
If the homes were all fiber inter-connected, then you might have a possibility of a solution, but wireless mesh network ( without a lot of main link nodes) is a very painful online experience.
It's a matter of tensile strength. The wire has to support the weight of all the wire below it. When you have 22,000 miles of wire, it weighs too much, even if it's no thicker than a hair. That is the main engineering problem of the space elevator. (No known material will support that much stress with a reasonable diameter. )
Carbon Nanotubes are promising, but we can only make them in the centimeter range, not kilometers.
If you need more detailed descriptions (especially for registry changes) you may want to export the registry files in a pre-script, then diff the registry entries.
Fosset was considered to be a good pilot. The evidence that he slammed into a cliff lead me to believe that he made a mistake ?:)
I think the cliff he hit was the problem

At that high an altitude, if you get clouds/ fog, you can run into a mountain at 10,000 feet, even if you're a good pilot ( who forgot to check his map).
NTSB said that the wreckage looked like high velocity impact, with little chance of survival.

>>one of computer programming's most widely used languages.
I highly doubt that a language that has only been around for a few years is the most "widely" used computer language. Cobol, fortran, or standard C , maybe.
I'm assuming you mean mitigate that danger, but folks in the USA would be just as eager to litigate the problem if it occurs, which is what holds up a lot of new ideas.
It is bad to use carbon that is NOT ACTIVE in the carbon cycle. ( various petroleum products stored deep underground). This results in a net increase in atmospheric CO2 compared to previous year.
It is much better to re-use carbon that is Active in the carbon cycle already (biofuels, which take CO2 OUT of the atmosphere, and we just return it to the atmosphere when we use it). This results in a zero increase in atmospheric CO2 compared to previous year, providing that the mechanisms used during processing utilize bio-fuel as well.
I never intended for space exploration to be seen as a SOLUTION to the problems listed.
Space exploration is a solution to the problem of all the eggs in one basket issue.
I was listing those items as intractable problems we now have that arent going to go away any time soon, and will get much worse before they get better.
The idea is not to move millions of persons off the earth, just to move enough folks to be self-sufficient & bio diverse to survive a few generations off the earth in case of the worst problems occur.
1. Pollution: China, Russia, and many other countries are rapidly making their homelands into wastelands via corporate dumping. (yes, I know the USA is doing the same thing, but the scale of the problem is much worse.) What do you think they will do when they run out of resources ?
2. Population: Have you seen any recent U.N. graphs on population growth ? Where do you plan on putting the next 5 billion persons?
3. War: More countries are getting the nuclear button every year. Sooner or later someone will push the button, or release some other bio terror type thing which could reduce the global population by several magnitudes.
Space Exploration does not solve these problems, but it can certainly alleviate some of the population pressure behind these problems.
For-Profit Corporations have a focus on next quarters profits, not next decade. Space exploration is only viable on a national level.
This blue dot we all live on will not last forever. If the human species is to survive, we must look elsewhere for possibilities. This cannot happen over-night, and we need to use mid-term goals such as a moon/asteroid colony , then mars, then after that who knows ?
Even without that argument, there has still been lots of practical gains from space technology research. Taking the hard problems of energy conservation, materials research, and other science research has greatly improved areas in the commercial sector.
The idea is to improve their society, not pass along our mistakes. We have reduced mercury usage, removed asbestos, & pcb's from our environment. Why would we pass along our microsoft pollution ?
Giving them windows would not be a net gain for their country.
Since other elements are more common, couldnt certain types of the less heavy radioactive elements just be decay remnants of unbibium?
Half-life doesnt mean dis-appear, just means reduced energy / protons.
So, SuperNova explodes, sending seeds of higher density elements to new star / gas systems. These elements form the core of other planets / stars as they aggregate out from the gas systems.
Some really long time later, we discover them lying around.
I would suppose you would never want farmers to know about genetic diversity being good for their herds of cattle ?
Or how maybe if there is a history of family genetic problems, that maybe you should have your CHILD checked sooner for issues, rather than waiting 10 years for the symptoms to show up before getting treatment ?
How about knowing how to treat viruses, research cures for diseases that are occurring in foreign areas, so that we can provide cures if they ever get to the US ?
Flu shots are based on understanding the genetics of the current strain of flu.
How about Electronic warfare? or worse yet, losing a robot & having it turned on you ?
[ Obviously a manned exo could be captured too, but you would figure that the soldier would do their best to stay alive]
Once they get the weight capabilities increase, I am sure they will start providing armored upgrades.
Only material / energy which is beyond the "Event Horizon" of a black hole no longer radiates back out.
Matter / Energy which is in the process of being consumed is quite bright, due to the accelleration / compression process, and friction with other items being consumed.
If all local matter had been consumed, then the black hole will not be "bright". If additional material in on the path towards the black hole, we will see the hole 'brighten' once the material starts to accellerate / compress as it reaches near the event horizon.
Absolutely sounds like a well paid Microsoft Info-mercial.
ODF actually allows groups to submit their proposals for well defined extensions / additions.
One standard for all document types is what is needed. (Not one wolf-in-standards clothing)
GPU = Graphics (specialized) processing ( High parallel capability)
CPU = Generic multi-purpose processing.
Car Analogy, CPU = gas Minivan, GPU = several smaller electric vehicles.
Why can the GPU deliver more packages to different destinations quicker?
Why can the CPU deliver a larger single box , or a wider variety of payloads, or travel further distances between re-fuel ?
CPU can delivery multiple processes, but it is engineered to support DIFFERENT things running at the same time. GPU is streamlined to do the one (subject area) as fast as possible.
Think about what might happen if the "Religious Corporation" decided it would be to

General Purpose GPU's = massively parallel flops operations possible. ( Think matrix math, real time sims, lab testing, SETI, etc).
Still separate from a CPU, which has additional capabilities.
For the older folks, think of this as a math co-processor :) [ with it's own fan]

How about reading the summary ? :
8.10 release, Intrepid Ibex, is coming next month
You have a choice, allow organizations to report the data breach, or have them cover it up to avoid the penalty.
[ Why would anyone report a data breach when that means they would face jail time ? ]
Remember, the odds of an external entity finding out about the data breach is extremely small (except for the ones taking the data of course ).
You are confused about the carbon cycle.
It is bad to use carbon that is NOT ACTIVE in the carbon cycle. ( various petroleum products stored deep underground). This results in a net increase in atmospheric CO2 compared to previous year.
It is much better to re-use carbon that is Active in the carbon cycle already (biofuels, which take CO2 OUT of the atmosphere, and we just return it to the atmosphere when we use it).

These are not "HIGH" temp superconductors yet. They are only working at -400F, so I doubt you could run these in your PSP.
But having a new class of super conductors opens up further research into new high temp ones.
