The Trump administration has "moved against [Assange] within its first 100 days"? Uh, no. They've _announced_ that they were going to mode against him but much like the carrier, it may take some time before they actually start moving in the stated direction.
The suit that stopped construction was brought by native Hawaiians who feel that their state was stolen by the white man and a federal judge gave them enough credence to stop construction. Feel free to attempt to buy off one or the other. I wish I could be there to see the consequences...
Geocentrists that believed the Earth was the center of the universe were popular once. A few hundred years later, not so much. I personally hope that my descendants will live & work in space but that doesn't mean I do.
It's a non problem. Cube-sats are deployed to low-earth orbits and burn up after a few years anyway. The space junk problem is for things in higher orbits that take centuries/millennia to de-orbit naturally.
New construction on Mauna Kea is already at a standstill because of some Hawaiians who think that telescopes disrespect the great volcano spirit -- but you want to put a massive Laser up there?!?
Where do you propose to find the Delta V to safely recover all these sats, hmmm?
They're not a couple escaped helium ballons from for birthday trapped on your ceiling waiting to be grabbed, they're flying about faster than bullets in differing and often completely opposing orbits and there is no Neo from the Matrix around to wave his hand and make them all magically stop for you.
High orbit sats are indeed high lag. Low orbit sat constellations aren't quite so bad and have the advantage of automatically re-entering the atmosphere after a few years, rendering the professors fears of "Not being able to reliably perform an end of life manoeuvre" moot.
Space-X's plan for low-orbit constellations of less expensive Sats that burn up after a few years means regularly replacing them with newer non-obsolete models.
Low orbits are _very_suitable_ for broadband networks. It's just that they need to be replenished regularly and up to now, with throw away launchers, using low orbits wasn't _economical_.
The sat networks being mooted recently do exactly that using the lower cost to orbit/higher launch cadence that reusables are making possible.
Instead of sats being so expensive to launch that you perform as few launches as possible and place very expensive high capability sats in mid-level orbits that take centuries to degrade, low-cost reusable launchers perform more launches with less expensive sats that reenter after a few years anyway.
Disadvantages: More sats & more launches are needed.
Advantages: Better RTT for the users of these networks as the sats are so much closer. Collisions and junk become non issues as it'll all burn up before it can build up.
That won't stop people like the professor at the UoS missing one of the major advantages of low orbit constellations: No need to manoeuvre EOL sats into safer orbits
TFA: “Right now, under all the taxpayer-funded space flight we are doing today is only able to achieve 60% of success rate for that [End of life] manoeuvre. How can they be better under commercial pressure and with cheaper satellites?”
Taxpayer funded ==> "good" with "commercial pressure" ==> "Bad" apparently. That it is private enterprises that are making reusable launchers possible fundamentally changing how Sats are built flies in orbit far far above the professor's notice.
Never said you were a zombie, just that you appear to think that you're surrounded by them, something that's reinforced when you show that you don't know how multi-billion dollar industries like advertising work. That may be due to your mistaken belief that you're more intelligent than those around you.
Aaannd we're back to where you came in. The public (including me but not apparently you) trusted Benetton to not attempt to sell it's goods using shocking images. When they did so, pfft, no more trust with Benetton and shortly thereafter, pfft, no more Benetton. That Benetton hasn't disappeared completely may be related to those rare consumers such as yourself that would gladly buy cookies with graphical images of dismembered bodies on the package.
Still with Unix SVR2 (segmented memory model) or SVR3 (pages)?
The first time I ran emacs on a large file on SVR2 the system was non-responsive for 10 min as the OS swapped emacs process out, sbrk'ed it to give it more memory (because with the segments you could only do so with the process swapped out & inactive), swapped it back in, swapped it out agin to sbrk more memory, etc...
Some people (such as yourself) may be happy with shocking images like abortion results or blown off limbs from terrorist bombs being used to sell cookies but most people trust advertisers to not to use shocking images just to sell commercial product. People don't organize a boycott absent significant outrage.
The fall of Benetton was clearly hastened by their poor choices in advertising. They had good product but the stigma of wearing it killed them long before the wheel of fashion would have moved on.
I was the school sysadmin on a AT&T 3B5 & a bunch of 3B2s for a few years and borrowed Apple IIc's, Apricots (a 386 PC maker back in the day) and then a Mac +.
For my first personal machine I wasn't going to be using an underpowered Atari or an Amiga or PC with substandard graphics (this was back in the CGA day) & besides I wanted a _real_ Unix.
The school owed me some serious money for my time and in lieu of payment I wrangled a deal. The school bought a brand new fully kitted out Mac II (16 Mhz 68020 with 4 Mb RAM, a 40Mb hard drive and a 13" 640x480 screen) that they wrote off as non-functional & I picked it up for $1.
I installed A/UX to it, added a 1/4" QIC drive (so that I could move files easily to/from it) and for years had a faster, more powerful Unix machine at home than the Sun 3's I was administering professionally. A few years later I upgraded the RAM to 8Mb, upgraded the CPU with a 32 Mhz 68030 on a daughterboard that replaced the 68020 & the 68881 MMU and added a L3 cache.
That Mac II lasted for over a decade as my primary home computer.
Ask Benetton if there is no such thing as bad publicity. Their controversial ad campaigns from the 90's shocked and abused the trust of many resulting in my and so many others boycotting them and tossing the sweaters we had.
They were oh so happy in the beginning -- "Look at all the free publicity!". Middle term it became "Hey guys, why are our sales tanking?" Long term was the closure of 90% of it's stores and a voluntary return to obscurity in order to not disappear completely.
A fitting response would be for Google to make sure that all OK Google + whopper requests forward on to results that BK dislikes: In-n-out, 5guys, Wendy's, etc. Tell everyone how BK always comes up short compared to their more palatable peers.
Saddam's declarations both before and after invading Kuwait included many saying that he would destroy as many oil wells as he could to punish both the west and his neighbours if he didn't get everything he wanted. Much like the current NK crackpot, he was not above breaking everything in a tantrum so, _NO_ we really did care who had control.
Beyond the lie that we do not have any "cultural interests in any muslim states, we don't need "cultural interests" to have critical national interest in the stability of the oil supply upon which our economies function. Saddam placed that stability in jeopardy repeatedly.
Suuuuuuure he did... The Saudis & the rest of the world should have _trusted_ the man with the biggest tank army in the Middle-east who just invaded and plundered a neighboring state and had previously invaded a second state that he wouldn't invade and and plunder a third.
And you know this because you pinky swore it with him I suppose?
Given that you're so _trusting_, you won't have _any_ problems with posting your bank account numbers and passwords here, right? It doesn't really matter who controls it, right? Come on, don't be a hypocrite, be just as gullible^H^H^H^H^H^H^Htrusting with us as you are asking us to be with you!
I've never seen an app (other than homegroup) that _needs_ IPV6 so like I said earlier, not having it is no loss and can quickly clear up some problems.

Yes. Eichman committed no crimes in Israeli but was still executed in Israel.

Looks like the summary's conclusion and the Turkish campaign to baselessly and irreversibly denigrate the movie are overblown.

SVR3 was sooo much better...
You appear to live in the land of the walking dead where you cannot trust the people around you to respect certain codes and morals.
No limits, anything goes is not a recipe for success outside the zombie apocalypse.

Oh gee, no IPV6, only IPV4, what _ever_ will we do? IPV4 only hosts are _such_ a mystery!!!
