It is relatively easy to start tossing large rocks that plunge to earth with high impact results. Aiming the things is a little delicate, however.
Glad you hit on one point, the other is that it is infinitely easier to fire large rocks/missiles/bombs/whatever from a much lower earth orbit. Say anything below 24,000 miles?

Don't you think it's kinda double standards ?
Only if you use a race based standard, like the theme of your poost.
The USA blocks China mainly because of their overt statements that they want to destroy the US and some of our allies, like Taiwan.
We had an embargo on Japan when they were saying similar things pre-WWII.
Besides, even those efforts wained during the Clinton administration, with plenty of US payloads and US rocket technology launching from China for Irridium.
the Chinese government plans to put a human on the moon by 2010, with the long-term goal of 'set[ting] up a base on the moon and min[ing] its riches for the benefit of humanity.
Sounds like this shares legal elements from Cliff Stohl's book "Cookoo's Egg".
There were little or no monitary damages, but the FBI refused to persue it at first because of ploicy, i.e., the damages were less than $1,000,000 even though the activity was still illegal.
The cases detract from each other, since Intel obviously wanted *some* e-mail and Stohl wanted *no* tresspassers, but stil I think Intel is in the right on this one and seems to have lawyers that even allpied something *applicable* to the case.
Much better than the DoJ inventing damages to prosicute Kevin Mitnick, even though he did plenty of chargable (but not as headline worthy as "hacking") acts/offenses/etc.
Okay folks, everyplace with a large mob influence has had it's phones tinkered with by the mob. This is old, but has not been talked about for a while, so it is a visit back to news.
Back in the day, New York City had a privat phone network for the "mob", created with "idle" equipment and bribes to phone workers. Result, FBI taps were tapping the known phone numbers and the mob guys were using the "secret" network.
Also, as far as rerouting disconnected numbers for fun and profit, lookup Poulsen's antics, plus other fun stuff.
I will have to say that it is about time that a Telco is getting called on the carpet for their lack of security, rather than just grebbing another Kevin Mitnic or whomever and blaming every problem on them, then discovering the problem still exists after you take away his access to communications.
Glad someone go to that distinction before I popped off. FMC lends to almost anybody.
Glad I drive a hydrogen powered Jeep;-) and loan was through Chrysler Credit.
Oh wait! They probably had the same breach but did not report it! Crap! Third thought, good thing my credit is already worthless and nobody would get very far stealing it!
Sounds like you are wishing for a slight variation on what I already do.
My home "workstation" is a docked Panasonic CF-01. I sync my Visor and VisorPhone through the IR port whenever I am home. No physical connection needed either, just the IR ports of both devices.
Considered a Treo, but a lightning bolt hit when I realized the Panasonic is a "big giant" palm device when I want to carry it (home-rolled case is a small Meade folder, daytimer size, with rings removed, fits fine, has places to store pcmcia cards too). I love the Visor Pro too, can still access everything while on the phone using hands free adapter.
Check my journal for my VisorPro/Phone experience;-)
Well, the police in Sarasota, Fla sent their cops to adult movie theaters all night and caught Paul Rubens, aka, Pee Wee Herman for indecent exposure and masturbation. There were plenty of open homocides and other serious crimes to investigate at that time, but the detectives were used to look at adult theaters.
Beurocrats are not well known for efficient resource management.
Sticking the names of real companies and products into drama can make it look very dated, especially if those companies or products cease to exist (including simply through changing their name).
Problematic in movies about the future too, like PanAm in "2001: A space Oddessy" and Control Data in "Colossis: The Forbin Project"
Hummm, the perfect tree-huger structure is falling apart much quicker than my presure-treated-wood ad brick home? Hey, send me the cash and cut your losses!
Oh please! Like you have any experience with that!
And I am not sure what people are talking about on the marketing stuff. I tried to get Voice Stream first because I think Jamie Lee Curtis is HOT! She turned me down, so I have Cingular on the VisorPhone now. Just check my journal.
2000 US presidential election Bob Beckel proposed to invistigate electors and blackmail them. Guess what? He ain't a Republican, he is a Democrat.
In 1960 a worse problem than Florida in 2000 cropped up and it was left to the President of the Senate to choose which set of electors to use from Hawaii, a very close vote there. Richard Nixon chose the set that gave the election to John F. Kennedy, because it was the right thing to do.
Don't believe me? Look it up yourself on Google, I will not give you links that only support my side of the arguement.
I am glad someone brought this up. Perhaps we should hear from Winston Smith?
Both his biography and the documentry on his life lead one to believe that he was eliminated at the end, but some of us know the real story. He is alive and well. I have it memorized and will pass it along to my son before I make my time.
Somehow magically erases the things you disagree with?
ROFLMAO!!!
No, it does not erase anything. Your constant name calling and babble do not prove anything either.
This is my final response to anything you have to say, but feel free to thrash, rant and throw all the tantrums that you wish. Both here and in reality.

Hope this helps you.
Don't think so.
EMF burst in the Ionisphere will effect loads of ground equipment and aircraft.
EMF bursts within the proper proximity of electronic equipment will cause the effect.
EMF bursts 200,000+ miles away won't do anything.

So that's their slant on it eh?
Anything with many written words visible on screen should be disqualified and burnt. All that does is confuse prople.

Not everything has to deal with 9/11 though or about the alienation of nerds and geeks.

He writes about Columbine too! Well, ok that is covered by the alienation thing but it IS a different event

1. Your comment may have some merit if it were not an AC post.
2. Learn to read, I am not the cocky one.
3. I could not care less how many H1B's are employed here and I realize that I work and compete in a world market.
4. I have not been laid off since 1984.
5. This is the perfect place for you to whine, plenty of sympathy for you but none from me.
Have a nice day!
