agreed. it's creepy to see two of them marching in unison. of course when you say "subjugating your descendants" what you mean is "subjugating you in 10 years."
it makes no sense. if the goal is to fly over NK, why do they want to launch from CA? And if the goal is trans-pacific, why do they want to cross NK as well? The whole thing is bizaare. That being said, I suppose if you release a weather balloon into the atmosphere and it blows across the pacific that's technically a drone, because once you released it the thing traveled to the destination under its own control.
yeah, at some point antagonizing the NK's veers into the ground of foreign policy, which is the exclusive province of the federal govt. This won't happen.
lol license to toke I like it. Re-driving under the influence, I have no problem and if somebody drives under the influence take their drivers license away for at least a year. And if they hit anything or heard anybody send them to jail.

i was confused about how the satellite could continuously watch the earth and the sun at the same time. Turns out it's positioned at the L1 lagrange point, which is in between sun and earth at about 170,000 km from earth (geostationary is 22k, for comparison). At this point, the pull from the earth will cancel out the pull from the sun, and the satellite will effectively stay positioned exactly between the earth and sun as the earth rotates around. look down from the satellite, you see the fully lit earth, and look up, and you see the sun. pretty cool, huh? wikipedia ftw.
speaking of cool, did anybody else see that solar movie Sunshine? that was an awesomely gorgeous movie. its cool if you went to a theater and looked up at the audience in some of those scenes where the entire screen was bright white.
but wouldn't a solar storm scramble a hard drive NAS as well? and wouldn't it scramble a standalone harddrive even if it werent plugged in, like an MRI machine?
true, but considering how goog has been pushing the internet forward to modern secure standards in many areas, I assure you they will never lift a finger to make secure email.
you know why emails are sent plaintext? Because since the early days of the internet, certain providers have offered free email in exchange for getting access to the content and scanning it for advertising purposes. You could attempt to create a standard that only decodes emails at the user end, but goog and yahoops would throw a fit and it wouldn't go anywhere.
HOLYSHITFUCKIJUSTFIXEDTHEENTIREPROBLEMSWITH GIRLSANDCS! major idea bomb. so first observation, this goog initiative will fail, because kids don't want to be told what's cool. second observation, the secret to engaging with girls is through SMS. Subset observation, it blows me away that girls spend so much time on their phones because it looks like dorky boys with their faces in a game boy. conclusion. make a robot-style thing, like a roomba or something cutesy for kids. have somebody send controls to it by sending a text message to a phone number. then the kids can take turns controlling it with different commands to move around or watever. One step commands can build up to multi-step commands, all communicated to the robot through sms or imessage or whatever. shh don't tell the kids that they're coding!
I don't know what's "repeatedly proven", but I've played most of the games they feature, and some of them I've played to death. Maybe you should ask yourself why you're so hostile to new ideas?

the CEO once said he's getting so much action it should be called Boober.
yes they work for us, but in the contract between the federal govt and the citizens it says that foreign policy is done by the federal government.
Maybe if you shot puppies across the DMZ using an air cannon would be a better idea.
would they be imperialist dogs? or maybe that lost puppy from the super bowl commercial.

everyone else is wrapped up in string but there's no strings on him!

oh gawd, can you imagine all the 4chan ops to make a big enough goatse to be captured by the goresat?
It probably wouldn't be too insightful to put a goresat at the L2 Lagrange point...

whats the diff between goresat and regular satellite imagery???
What's that thing called again?
Lots of superlatives there, but does it play flappy bird?
Like that time I gave the Libyans a shoddy bomb casing full of used pinball machine parts?

You spelled it wrong. It's spelled Oberon Window.

what about product placement in movies? does that make you tear your hair out too?
