Makes me wonder what the local governments in the region are doing to combat the outbreak, they do have governments in that part of the planet? If Ebola broke out in Texas for instance, a state of emergency would be declared then quarantine imposed on anyone within a ten miles of an Ebola victim. The situation would have been resolved within months. They do have governments in that part of the planet?

The Orion is totally over designed, too many parts means too many parts to go wrong. A Buran type reusable lander on top of a conventional rocket stack would be simpler and safer. The buran would function as an escape vehicle, get them into orbit or get them back to earth.
For some time now I've come to realize that slashdot has been dumbed down, presumably to appeal to a more commercial add-friendly audience. but do you have to totally insult our collective intelligence. I kind of gathered that Endrun works over radio-waves but could you provide a little more technical details. How can it tell the difference between a Syrian rebels or an Ebola patients and how does this protocol compare to TCP/IP for instance.
ps: 'mesh network' and 'satellite phones' run on different technologies.

Interesting quote, but I wonder what are the actual number of front-line developers that are involved in this 'movement' calling for a Debian fork. I would have thought it would be damaging mainly by producing incompatible versions and diluting the developer base.

In other words mass firings, the savings on the wages bill showing up in next years accounts as increased revenue. Followed by the company imploding in the following year. By which time the CEVPaCDO will have took his bonus and moved on elsewhere.
