No. Smart move would be to tell the licensor, "Look, in a couple of months this thing will have 30% the traffic. Lower your price or we'll shut it down completely."
Now, there's a possibility they did that and Lucas told them asta la vista. But I doubt it. Lucas is all about getting good money for vapor, and wouldn't have to create more than a new signature line on an old contract to have cashflow continue. And Lucas is still licensing to them in their new product. So unless Lucas was a total fool (and yes, I know which Lucas I'm talking about here) they'd take the extra money for doing nothing.
No, one goes from "I got to the moon now it's mine" to "you touched my moon now you die". That's how colonial power works on this planet, and the idea of extending that to space (or even to antarctica) was voted down by the world in the last century. At least, until someone tries it and has enough power to fend off challengers.
And the rules for what government can and can't do with property are different from the rules for what you can do with property, no matter who owns it.
All X owned by the Y is legally considered property of the Y.
Moon-rockiness and Government-controllicity are not a factor.
This is purely a case of pwnership of an item that was discarded that may not have belonged to the person discarding it and how it came to be undiscarded by the person who doubtlessly possesses it now.
If you believe Germany will use less energy, you're mistaken. And the coal industry just ensured that it will be where Germany has to go to get more. Well, no. They have a choice. It's more coal, or French nuclear power. Guess which of those the coal lobbyists are betting the German people will choose.
I'm neither as excited nor as sad about this as I thought I might be.
I think my attitude, deep down, is that it's been a long time coming, and the shuttle program is not efficient, in gross, and we need to get on to what's next.
Until half the moon is moon rocks on Earth, they'll be valuable.
And the principle is about not owning anything gained from space exploration. It's international in scope, and is a big deal, because if you can own a rock, you can claim the moon for your country, and that's going to cause space wars.
It also depends on where the garbage was when it was rummaged through. And what sort of container it was in, since dumpsters are generally property of the hauling company, and putting something into one may be considered transferring ownership to them.
This case is all about ownership of trash, and not at all about what the item is. Since there's no law saying a private citizen can't own a moon rock, that makes it a moot rock.
I bumped my head when you put me in the police car. Can't remember a thing. Other than my 5th Amendment right to give you nothing you can't find on your own.
Germany produces energy mostly using coal. They buy the biggest mobile machines ever made to dig it out of the Earth and move whole towns to get at it. Brilliant ecological move, there, dumping nuclear power for coal. Wonder if their coal barons had something to do with tipping that political scale. It's not as if the Germans are gullible when their leaders start making impassioned speeches pushing irrational goals.
Germany in the future will be a major importer of electric power. They will be to France on electricity as the US is to OPEC on petroleum: a captive market.
Fox was running this trial all day, every day, for months.
CNN and MSNBC were focussing more on what the Congress was doing to fuck up the economy. Fox was using this trial to avoid discussing what their political propaganda has done to help the GOP in Congress fuck up the economy.
I was alive then, and I remember. And the movie is faithful to the facts, albeit compressed into a filmable timeline and without the latter stages more than mentioned at the end.
Nixon was on a pole the moment he started inveigling himself in the coverup, and came down the moment they got the axes out.
And he did fire a number of underlings to keep from having to admit his involvement.
Really, how much "data" is "generated" by the internet every day?
Sure, there's lots of traffic, but that's millions of copies of the same data.
The new data going on to the internet probably isn't too heinous in quantity.
And the summary blew the meme. It's not "generate more data per day than the internet", it's "generate more data per day than the earth does in a year, and conduct more internal networking traffic than the internet."
Slashdot Mirror
No. They can give you cancer just like most other things.
Do not click. Some sort of phony coprophile spam.
It just accidentally moved the decimal point on your account two places to the left.
But it did it hella fast.

"and stop to export"
You mean stop collecting revenue? Who does that? Especially in a bad economy?
Consumption will increase, especially as electric cars start to increase their share of the consumption.
In a few years Germany will be wondering just what the fuck it was thinking ceding its energy future to coal and foreign nukes.

Ever driven through Texas? They may have a claim on the basis that it came from there.

When you remove the nukes from it, what happens to the share of coal?
Oh look. It necessarily increases.
And who benefits directly from that?
Oh look. People who own companies that dig for coal.
You should think twice before telling anyone they're not cognizant of the facts.

What I want to know is what happens to the 1136 minor versions between releases of Microsoft products.
Aurora
Makes me wonder if these guys are Asimov fans.
I get similar effects on RH5. Generally the disk is spooling at the same time. Probably shitty garbage collection.
Damn this. I'm not upgrading until they put out Firefox Eleventy-seven.
What password?

if you start logging all traffic, you'll quickly run out of space to store it.
if on the other hand you start logging only novel content, you'll take somewhat longer to run out of space to store it.
just ask google how their cache works.
