Generally, some fuel is saved at the end of the satellite's life. Then, when it is decommissioned, it is set to fire out its remaining fuel, and it shoves itself up into a higher "parking orbit"...basically a satellite graveyard. Will they ever fall into the atmosphere? Yes. However, I believe we are talking about thousands of years until they even fall into the original geostationary orbit.
Not really. Satelites are hundreds to thousands of miles apart. Even satellites that appear to be in the same location (like the 3 main DirecTV satellites for example) are a few hundred miles apart. So as long as you maintain some kind of reasonable control, there is no real concern about them colliding.
So....any chance we can pool all our DVD's that are scratched, cracked, etc and march up to his door and ask for replacements. I mean, DVD's obviously last forever by design because they are digital, and if ours got damaged, they MUST be defective. What's that JV? You don't want to replace these DVD's. You say they wern't defective-they were abused? You said they last FOREVER, so that can't be possible JV. Then sue them for false advertising maybe?
I wouldn't assume because the cans are their property, the trash is also. The cans are designed to be re-used, and just like taking a mailbox would be theft, so would taking the cans
The trash, on the other hand, is discarded. From my previous research, as far as I know in about 99% of cases taking trash is legal. If you are asked to leave, you should though, as at that point if you do not leave, it becomes tresspassing.
OK, what if someone were to write a P2P client with a laughable encryption system...INTENTIONALLY. It will need to be based on a random key. This encryption system must be small enough to be broken quickly (say, 5 seconds) on a reasonable PC. Then, you have the searching work just like it does with a standard P2P client today. However, when you download, all that happens is your computer is send an encrypted file with no encryption key. Your PC then has to crack the encryption, restoring the original file.
Now, if the RIAA (or MPAA or whoever) complains you are sharing copyrighted files, or whatever, send THEM a DMCA violation notice. As if they have proof you did violate their copyright (they downloaded a file from you) then they violated the DMCA by breaking the encryption to verify the file is what it said it is.
If they say they didn't violate the DMCA, then they have no proof-it's entirely possible I enjoy copying/dev/null to files with the names of popular music and have mp3 extentions:-)

Unsolder the chip. It's not hard at all. Usually (today at least) the bios chips are socketed.
