Right...loss of attitude control likely means the satellite will fail in its mission, but has little to do with when and where it will burn in, or whether it will hit some other satellite. It just joins the several thousand tons of broken-down crap already up there.
The author of TFA would seem to be thinking in airplane terms, which I suppose is a narrow cut above a car analogy...
Great example would be German museums dealing with the events surrounding their involvement in the World Wars and the Holocaust. You go into any of those, and while they talk a lot about the Nazi Party, National Socialism, Hitler and the rest, you would be hard pressed to say that anyone would think any of it is an endorsement. Everything I saw really had a tone of: "My God, we screwed the pooch BIGTIME. Let's put this all out here, so maybe people won't let it happen again"
Indeed. I was quite surprised to hear the tour guide at Hitler's mountain chalet above Berchtesgaden...she told it like it was, no beating about the bush. Her sentiment was clearly Nie wieder.
Eons ago there was a magazine called Softside that published games written in BASIC for the Apple II, Atari and TRS-80. It soon got a visit from a Radio Shack lawyer asserting that only Tandy had the right to publish software for their computers, and demanding that they cease and desist from saying "Radio Shack" or "TRS-80" in their articles unless they paid Tandy a royalty.
The magazine complied by saying "S-80 Bus" which was not within the scope of Tandy's trademarks. Tandy got its wish: nobody ever writes about Radio Shack computers today.
How can an employer deem that they automatically own intellectual property I developed privately in my own time with a tenuous link to my current role?
Easily: you exercised your right to sell it when you signed the contract.
It is pitiable how the editor(s) feel the need to mock the ignorant propaganda of a thoroughly subjugated people.
I sorta got the impression that they were mocking the Caligula of the Far East who's doing the subjugating. The US gubmint isn't going to remove him, because he doesn't have any oil, so this is pretty much all we can do.
You would seem to miss the point. Here's a message encrypted with a one-time pad: WXYZ. Want to brute-force it? OK, try all the permutations of four letters that can exist in the OTP (36^4 of them, if the pad accommodates English letters and digits). Spoiler alert: One of those permutations will yield LOVE. Another will yield HATE. Which one is the correct message?
Back when XP came out, the upgrade disk was about half the price of a "full retail" disk. If you loaded the upgrade disk on a new build, it would ask you for the CD of your previous version. All you had to do was borrow an ME disk and put it in; then you could go right ahead and load XP from the "upgrade" disk.
FTFA: “At approximately 3 p.m., a single sharp rifle crack rang out.” This would seem to refer quite specifically to the distinct sound of a rifle. Yes, the shooter should be arrested...you might note that I alluded to that.
Or when the pigeon shooter gets gets 10-15 in the clink for shooting neighbors with the rounds that missed when the dipshit fired his rifle in the air.
...appears to have upheld the highest traditions of the sea. In the past couple of decades there have been at least two Mediterranean cruise ship skippers who can't say that.
Not a religious guy, but...

A barrier is something you can't get past. A hurdle is something you can't get past unless you go about it properly.
The theory back then was any faster and any plane would break apart.
Pre-1947 cite, please? Calling something unsolved is not calling it unsolvable. The Grand Slam bomb may or may not have gone supersonic, but it definitely got into the transonic range where shocks occur on parts of the object, and it remained stable. And the X-1 was deliberately shaped like the.50 BMG bullet, a shape known to have an acceptable amount of supersonic drag (though it did have the advantage of spin stabilization).
Remember, "They said it couldn't be done" is the stuff of Sunday-supplement glurge.
For a balloon in air, the lifting power of hydrogen is only about 8.6% more than that of helium. Buoyancy depends on the difference in density between the gases inside and outside. The sea-level densities are:
Air 1.2 kg/m^3 Hydrogen 0.0899 kg/m^3 Helium 0.178 kg/m^3
So the density differences are 1.11 and 1.022 respectively.
To put it in more concrete terms: If the lifting power of a gas were inversely proportional to its density, a vacuum bottle would lift infinite weight.

I know in the UK they were called "Trash 80"s on the street.
Likewise in Leftpondia...;-)

Then what is it uninhabitable due to?
Duh...ask your lawyer. We always seem to be talking to our lawyers afterwards, when we might have been smarter to do it in advance.
If you think having a lawyer can be expensive, try not having one.

IANAL, but if it were quid pro nothing, you'd be free to ignore it, because it would not be a contract.
IANAL, but you'd bloody well better talk to yours before you try to invoke that principle.
Indeed. If not for the French, we in the States would be speaking English today.

Per the SCOTUS, corporations are people -- just like Soylent Green.

You mean the picture-taking environmental terrorist? Jeez, they just ain't making terrorists like they used to...;-)

Yes I do. TFA alleges a rifle was used on the drone.
I know exactly what a shotgun is, Sy. TFA reported a rifle.
They mostly use spread spectrum RC systems these days, so good luck jamming them.

For example, the way the OS X Address Book attempts to resemble a paper address book.
Trivial, compared to Michael Crichton's idea of a user-friendly database in Disclosure...
