Not a real thing, not practical in almost any area that needs high capacity transit, and just a distraction from real things we already know how to build but refuse to pay for.
Parent is absolutely NOT off-topic, in fact it is insightful.
Wrong on every point. My reference is not to emotion but to fact. Not all states are the same, and not all populations are the same. Conflicts are everywhere. On your last point, is phrasing something for what it is in the first sentence somehow discouraged here? I thought that was to let people know what they were about to read. Are you simply an idiot?
So for the reason that you did not understand something, you did not work to find out the actual causes of that counter point, but instead somehow changed all of your thoughts on a larger subject? That doesn't seem accurate. Will you explain more?
This is likely to be an extremely unpopular view but there are very legitimate reasons for a state to seek limits in the distribution of news, and limits to what its citizens communicate to outsiders. Most of these actions truly do have the welfare of the citizens and their crucial security in mind. These things are done to preserve their life most of the time.
Those of you raised in the west or who have lived your lives mostly in the west may not understand or remember the reality of living in weaker states. It is not my intent to write a thesis or anything approaching that so I'll stop this here. Just think about the real situation in Vietnam before going off on the usual tangents and starting the usual crusades.
Why are so many people so afraid of China? This story is an especially thinly veiled excuse for a two minute hate against China. Some of the more intelligent posters have recognized this as media frenzy exaggerating old practices of industrial espionage and competitive spying.
For all of you hawks talking about Taiwan, you are the instigators and the creators of supposed tensions. Taiwan is part of the one China, and the two forms of government are merging into one. China's sole goal is continuing economic development and social progress.
Considering the cost of these satellites and the relatively small amount of attitude control fuel, I can not see much use here. Drone aircraft are cheaper, and are effectively invisible at high altitudes. Especially since the shuttle is being retired, and the U.S. has no other satellite maintenance platforms.
Reading comprehension please. Industrial development is the subject here. The United State did not launch into space in 1860 much less 1830 or so did it? That is the point here. China has gone from backward agricultural slaves for European Empires to having a space program in a very short time frame.
That point gets lost under the ramblings of shallow pseudo-analysts far too often. Everything gets overly simplified by the media into a need for NASA to do supposed "relearning", and that is patently false. It only absolves the Reagan administration of the blame for their actions and that serves no purpose at this time. It is not just technology and manufacturing guidelines that are required or every single nation would be in space right now. These are gigantic projects, and that is why they are achievements for all humanity like great works of architecture were for civilizations. This isn't like a paper doll book where you just put tab A in slot B after all and pull a few tabs to make things work. This is truly complex industrial activity. Compare it to making war ships-if all of your shipyards were eliminated, all your skilled workers laid off, and a 20+ year gap thrown in for good measure how quickly do you think you could make an aircraft carrier of any significant size?
Incorrect. What I state is that the thing glossed over is more important. Free speech zealotry does not have the greatest priority. Contributors give their work for the project itself, not for the political purposes of any other member. It is the work itself that has the greatest priority, and any action causing reduction in how that work can be used is an affront to every single contributor to the project. Those who did this don't deserve to control the source forge presence of the project.
By the very principals governing the organization of open source projects, even for the anarchists, this instance of some members of one project acting and causing the entirety of source forge to be blocked is absolutely inappropriate. It is a clearly communicated and clearly known policy that has instituted the block, so all actions leading to the violation of that policy were directed at causing that block. Those people have have decided to take from the other projects had no authority to do so.
This is about public health. Parents ignoring their kids to use the most significant example in the story here. It is the responsibility of games manufacturers to restrict the addictive potential of their games outside of direct gambling; and even in gambling that potential is extremely regulated. The way to restrict addictiveness is not to restrict content, but to include tools that for instance may come up with a window showing the length of play time or perhaps play certain sounds to inform of the play time. This is the topic that is always ignored but the one that needs to be addressed.
Lots of people will comment that this is not addiction in any way. What those misguided people are so desperate to do is to claim that their particular hobbies are somehow better than others and can't be addictive. Games, etc. are just as addictive when pursued to the exclusion of necessary activities like parent-child interaction. This can't be denied. Why not move the discussion on to the actual important topics of for instance how to reduce the allowance for addictiveness in games, etc. or how to create tools for people to use to gauge when they are slipping into these things? Harder with things outside of controlled environments, but this is all with damn computers so there is a vast opening for tools to combat it here.
I am not saying anything except what does exist. The US is frequently at war and yet people are imagining China as harboring expansionist agendas? China has one agenda and only one. China will advance.

You keep changing your claims, now you've made one that is disproved by the very data you claim supports it. Here
Criminals MAY acquire and use guns, but it makes prosecution MUCH easier because by possession they have committed an irrefutable crime already.

Explain that coward. It was mostly a rhetorical question. Besides, how else could he have misinterpreted every single point in my other post?

What does it say about the person that decided to do that simply because I pointed out a side that would have otherwise been ignored?
Look at the parent here, is it really a troll or was a moderator simply abusing the system to push down my unpopular statements?

Parent post needs to be read by all users and guests.

Thanks for taking the time to get these resources together. I cringe whenever I see a post as ignorant as the one made by JeanBaptiste.

The parent post here deserves to be scored higher to combat the misinterpretations in the grandparent.

How is it troll to criticise the one way every story in this area gets discussed, and to then try to expand the discussion?

Funding. Science is expensive.
What enemy government? China is not at war with anyone, much less the US. Trade relations are normal or I wouldn't be here.
