  4. Uh, Mars Observer was not "mysteriously" lost. FTFA:

    The article says "Likely reason" but the independent investigation only found it to be the "most probable cause" which doesnt at all mean "likely reason" ..

    You found a non-authoritative source that agreed with you and then you stopped, rather than you finding an authoritative source. You obviously don't care about veracity.... about facts. You only care that your opinion holds, and to that I say go fuck yourself.

  5. You're using the word "mysteriously", which is obviously open to interpretation

    Of course.

    Spacecraft sent to any of the outer planets or those that left the solar system have a 100% success rate

    "outer planets" is also open to interpretation (for instance, there may be 8 outer planets with mercury being the only inner planet), yet you just criticized me for leaving stuff open to interpretation? Go fuck yourself.

    It seems like you're trying to imply that any spacecraft leaving the solar system quickly would be subject to collisions

    I am not implying it. I am stating it to be a fact. What you dont seem to understand is that the faster you go, the worse all collisions are. The collisions with space dust that happens now are mainly at quite low velocities compared to what the article is talking about. There are many reasons for why the velocities are quite low, such as because most of the stuff in our solar system is moving along with it at less than escape velocity, and that most of the stuff orbits in the same direction as well (including the probes we send out) ..

    You are guessing, and you know that you are guessing.

    I may have been *incorrect, however lying would have meant intent to deceive.

    You didnt say "I think.." ... or ask "Isn't it true that..." ... you just declared something to be a fact, that wasn't. Surely you knew that you didnt know, since you could not have known something to be a fact that actually isnt.

    Funny how knowledge works. People know when they are guessing. People know when they are theorizing. People also know if they know something to be a fact or not. This isnt about you being wrong. This is about the manner in which you were wrong. The manner in which you were wrong was dishonesty, you lying fuck.

    At best, you intended to appear more knowledgeable than you were, and that is fucking dishonest.

    Also, since you intended to deceive after all, that makes you again a lying fuck when you decided to declare that you didnt have such intent. You intended for us to think that you were more knowledgeable that you knew yourself to be. You knew you didnt know, but pretended otherwise. Lying fuck.

    What makes content so incredibly powerful as an export good is that you can literally export thin air. You export ... well, essentially nothing. You export something that is trivially easy to multiply at zero cost. That is some powerful export asset.

    I think you are missing the real fundamental issue here.

    The customers of the RIAA/MPAA are not you and me. The customers of the RIAA/MPAA are their distributors, which includes the telecom industry.

    The distributors are in control be it exports, imports, or domestic sales.

    Whats going to happen is that the RIAA/MPAA will be bought up by the distributors unless they figure out that they need to become their own distributors before it happens.

    Its already happened in the food industry, where the only surviving self-owned food producers own their own trucks. The ones that didnt get into shipping got purchased by the shipping companies long ago.

    When the lying fuck claims that the RIAA/MPAA could buy Comcast, it does fucking matter.

    Not only can't the RIAA/MPAA afford to buy Comcast, Comcast could in fact afford to buy all of the RIAA and MPAA companies combined. Its not even close.

    You people are idiots. The market cap of the RIAA/MPAA companies is tiny in comparison to the market cap of telecom companies. You fucks hate the MPAA/RIAA so much that you dont give a shit that what you say they can do, they actually can't? Fuck you then. You are worthless. You offer nothing but wrong.

    The correct way to provide constructive criticism:

    Why would I want to "constructively criticize" someone that is actually being a dishonest fuck?

    We should not be tolerant of these fucks that destructively rush to get their guesses in while making sure never to reveal that they are fucking guessing.

  14. If you fly a probe through the asteroid belt, or any other kind of dust or rocks, it doesn't matter if they're standing still or moving.

    Stop proving how uneducated you are.

    If something is standing still relative to the probe, it cannot ever hit the probe, but if its moving relative to the probe then it can. So yes, it does matter.

    Notice how every time I mentioned speed, I spoke of relative velocities and also precisely indicated what the reference frame was. Notice that you didnt do any of that. You arent equiped with the knowledge to discuss this subject intelligently, which is why you appear so unintelligent.

  15. Speaking of talking out your ass, exactly how many probes have mysteriously been lost?

    I dont have the exact count. I know its not zero like the OP implied.

    Here is one: Mars Observer

    I am confident that the actual number of probes which we have mysteriously lost contact with is at least a dozen.

    Personally I'm amazed at how goddamn lazy the RIAA and MPAA have gotten. Do they even do anything to earn their money these days or just go around demanding that everyone else to do their job for them?

    In the grand scheme of things, we arent actually talking about a lot of money.

    Last I checked the telecom industry handles about $5 trillion annually, while the movie industry only about $35 billion.

    To put this in perspective

    78,000,000,000,000 - Gross world product
    5,000,000,000,000 - Telecom industry (6.4102% of GWP)
    35,000,000,000 - Movie industry (0.0449% of GWP)
    21,000,000,000 - Music industry (0.0269% of GWP)

    This is why the RIAA/MPAA have failed so miserably is getting what they want. Its like two half-lings trying to fight stone-giants.

  20. More than a few probes have mysteriously been lost.

    The fastest (relative to our sun) thing ever recorded in our solar system was only a few percent of the speed of light. We can treat all the rocks and dust in the solar system as basically standing still when talking about the relative speeds that this probe will take on.
