Mandate the Usenet way with replies after the original, (it will) teach people to cut irrelevant repeats.
Stop the addition of stupid and ineffective disclaimers.
Teach the use of (ftp) servers for sharing large documents, no more Microsoft sized attachments, send a link.
This is not a troll's statement, indeed by European standards Obama is (very) right wing and conservative.
Creatures like Rush Limbaugh can't even be classified along common European political lines but there are some psychological descriptions fitting his demeanour...
Hope it doesn't fall on me! I mean this seems like a dangerous experiment
Where do you pick up the notion this is an experiment?
It is since the very first space shots part of the design that what goes up comes down.
Only loads that are designed to leave earth's gravitational attraction and go to the moon, other planets or even further will not fall back.
The label 'protected computer' has been applied and as the Scam is not a government agency the only other possible reason I read in your interesting post is they're running a commercial operation.
I don't see how an outfit with tax exemption based on religion can at the same time be classed a commercial operation.
Yeah but that claim was part of the introduction for some new security features on Dell(?) laptops. When asked they differentiated 'lost' by claiming they were lost out of sight, even if it were for seconds only.
It is a legal term from the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996.
Even though at that time you could have gotten a RH4.0 system what 'just worked'.
OK, no good against a Ddos:)
A protected computer is:
(A) exclusively for the use of a financial institution or
(B) which is used in interstate or foreign commerce, including a computer located outside the United States that is used in a manner that affects interstate or foreign commerce of the United States.
Since it was a web server, it falls under the interstate or foreign commerce definition.
It sounds as if you are working for that scammer called Scientology.
Please don't forget Scientology is just one of the best cloaks a Pyramid scheme has ever devised.
The guy was on a Moral mission when he set off the Ddos and any idiot that needs to get out of bed to fix the problem gets what he deserves by working for the scammer. I work for a reputable company and get royally rewarded when on overtime. (I know, Europe, commies etc)
I generally like the principle of the Western Democracy.
I can appreciate certain periods , even recent, of US government.
Talking about the USofA, the majority of it's people will probably support the idea of a Capitalist economy thriving under a Democratically elected government.
The problems of recent are in my view caused by Capitalism ruling the government instead of the other way around.
Democracy will get damaged when special interests are able to significantly buy votes. I've said it before, here in and in other places, the US needs to ban any financial contributions to political parties in the widest sense by non voters.
And voters should be limited to say a US$ 20.- contribution per year on a party. Even the poorest voters could afford such a payment and thus the one-man one-vote democracy would be restored.
If a majority of voters decided the parties need more money to operate successful they could allow tax money to be used, many countries have come up with reasonable systems to fund the running of party bureaucracies without distorting the democratic balances.
Until then (especially in the US) the Democratic process is being diverted by funny money instead of votes.

Oh gosh, some one with mod points felt his heroes were falsely accused!
And in the mean time Linux engineers get paid 20%+.
I work in a Windows shop as much as possible on a Linux computer and am the only one that hasn't had a Virus from some stupid's USB drive.
Here in The Netherlands Asus doesn't even offer the 901 with Linux, we have to import them from the UK (inclusive funny keyboard).
It seems to surprise you but this is an often heard sound in European media and judicial circles.
Knowing the USofA reasonably well I would say that if this isn't a purposely followed policy it at least is one result of present practises in the US.

does anyone have a clue where this stuff will land, or how much damage one of the larger pieces will cause ?
I understand a proverbial Slashdotter does not read the article but you didn't even see the summary!
The problem is not the desintegration in earth's atmosphere but the uncertainty about where it's going to happen.
Pushing it by a laser would certainly be a more expensive solution but not do anything about the real problem.
Why would they, the pieces mentioned in TFA are very small already.
Maybe this breakthrough will finally make BluRay a popular format, so far I haven't seen much (or any) pick up.
(.91-.57)/.0057= 59.65% increase in less than a year.
With this nearly 60% increase of market share you need 8 years to get over 50% market share and only a year later it would hit 95%.
Of course Linux market share does not only depend on it's own pick up but especially later also of the number of people leaving other systems.
I don't see how an outfit with tax exemption based on religion can at the same time be classed a commercial operation.
Hmm, I read: "Less than three hundred thieves have been caught".
Yeah but that claim was part of the introduction for some new security features on Dell(?) laptops. When asked they differentiated 'lost' by claiming they were lost out of sight, even if it were for seconds only.
That person has to agree with a minimum wage and shitty hours, what self-respecting crook would?
But does it run on Linux? :)
Yep, Intel has like 60% market share.
And they have the worse performance.
And they have some of the easiest Linux support.
Which brings up the question, why should they get tax favours as a "religious entity" and at the same time get protection as a "commercial entity"?

See, when I ommit all the drivel Scientology is all about being a commercial entity.

Well, I hope you get my drift.
Well yes, they do contribute to the candidates election fund!
That's just one funny example to enforce my belief in Representative Democracy as we know it, even in places like Switzerland.
It takes some above average people to take risks in The Peoples name because they can see light where the average man just sees the horizon.
