I used to work for a company that bailed on satellite communication and rented bandwidth on transatlantic cables precisely because of the satellite lag.
It's a lot more to do with all the electronic layers in the way than light in glass vs. space.
Optimized satellites and ground feed dishes could make up for much of the difference...but that speed-packaging tech could be used by intercontinental cabling companies too, keep in mind.
BTW, I recognize the unfortnuate political impossibility of doing this. One dead person in front of a camera for politicians to cry over is worth more than 100,000 lives saved because some heart medicine was not delayed by a few years.
his is a world of idiots, by idiots, and for the idiots.
Requiring the population to get on bended knee for permission to do things slows the rate of technological advancement, leading to more deaths in the long run as tech lags more and more, like compound interest building up.
It's a mathematical triviality to show the FDA and other business-unfriendly practices lead to magnitudes more deaths than these save by preventing some snake oil from getting to market too fast. All savings of lives so far pale to what would be saved if tech was 10 or 20 years ahead of where it is.

Sigh. Nerds are the technological autists. The geek, in a circus, was the guy who bit off the head of a chicken and other gross stuff. In Revenge of the nerds, Booger was the only geek.
And the gay guy was just the gay guy.
Of course, the meaning of geek has wandered until it is used as a synonym for nerd, as words often do, but only a nerd could tell you that.
Bad example -- they agree not to spill it as a condition of employment, and are bound to it during, and after employment.
Whether Snowdon should be considered a hero or not is separate from whether he violated the law, which is not in dispute.
But news organizations are happily printing info as it is released, withot fear. Government is correctly criticized for hassling them and spying without warrants.
There's a much better version of Starship Troopers anyway. It's called "Aliens".
Space marines, "bug hunt", fast drops onto planets, even female combat pilots, then a predicted thing, as them being smaller could take slightly more Gs.
So long as you dont clog the emergency room bay doors with your fat ass...
It's known the more a doctor performs a procedure, the better the outcome.
So when yourr slender ass pulls into the hospital at 70 with a heart attack, you're welcome.
I think this study should look into whether the saunas are melting fat out of the extremeties' vessels, especially capiillaries. Maybe helps keep vessels clear, lets heart work less hard.
Ok, let's deal with abouy 80% of the dollars scammed out of retirees the past 30 years.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm putting a child block on all your home shopping channels, grampa."
These things specialize in convincing the lonely elderly the hosts are their friends, with peals of joy and friendship when purchases are made. Look! She likes me!
Spend thousands a week, blow thru $20,000 of savings in a month.
To quote a wise opinion on the subject from several years ago, "Kill yourselves."
Are you really that naive? Give for free, get a "good" name, be made legal, "paper".
With companies like Uber capitalism has really hit rock bottom. No products, no innovation, just a parasitic entity, forcibly trying to become a middle-man in all transactions.
What kind of Bizarro Superman world do you live in? What's happening in Seoul is the exact opposite of capitalism in a free market.
The government is chasing out the new competition at the behest of the sclerotic old, and is actually handing their business model over to connected cronies.

Microsoft issued a statement, "Oops."
In a completely unrelated story, federal government threats of anti-trust prosecutions of Microsoft are at an all-time low.
And yet other studies show thinner people prefer sweeter concoctions and fatter people less sweet, greasier ones.
They were probably promoting longevity at the cost of a few cavities. Anyone ever study cavities vs. obesity?

His voice in the ads shreds my intestines.
It's a kid's movie, I am guessing, like Real Steel. Reason? His voice is higher-pitched, as is often sought out in cartoons so as to be less scary.

Don't they credit him now?
"Doctor, perhaps you are right. What is Mr. Scott's condition?"
"Well, I don't (is Vulcan neck pinched) think..."
(Eases him down.)
"Remember, eh."
He wants to belieber him.

Well, thanks. I'm glad the universe didn't telefrag.
Your comment should be: Oh, shut the fuck up, for Christ's sake. Get a life!

Even worse, how are we supposed to repair the timeline from this quasi-reboot now?!?!?
With shortened lifespans, too. Was Deckard a replicant?
"It's too bad she won't live. But who does?"
Deckard: Meeeeeeeeeee!

This Slashdot beta really is getting out of control.
Ya, but who says phones want ugly, flat icons either?
Computer icon progression through the years:
1. Crappy line drawings done by a programmer at his desk.
2. Fancy, artsy drawings by a pro
3. 3D rendered pictures
4. 3D rendered animations
And now...
5. Back to simple line drawings some progammer did at his desk in 10 minutes. Download folder icon?
Really?!?!?
Speaking of Star Wars, Slashdot needs to change their Star Wars icon from R2D2 to Robot Head on a Soccer Ball.

Ehhh, industry would give much better pay to precogs. Imagine your wife hiring one to detect your "pre-jerkoffs".
