  1. Sad day. on Telstar 4 is Down · · Score: 1

    When I was young, and trying to lock in my C-band dish, I almost allways used T4 as a reference point. Good clear signal, and you ALLWAYS knew what channel you were on. Kinda sad to see the old bird die

    Doesn't sauce spoil if left open?

  3. Re:Does the EU/China really think... on China Joins EU in Galileo Satellite Venture · · Score: 1

    No one values their sattelites so much they are willing to get turned into radioactive dust. Hell the USSR and the USA shot down each other's aircraft and didn't go to war. As far as europe nuking the us. Not going to happen. And if it does, there won't be much of them left either. It's called MAD for a reason.

  4. Re:A bit extreme on UK Makes Spamming a Fineable Offense · · Score: 1

    I was using locking people up for narcotics as an instance of an asinine law. I'm not entirely sure how spammers who actually have something to sell are commiting fraud. Those that don't, fine, they are commiting fraud and should be punished (though not neccisarily with jailtime). I would like to know how "legitimate" spammers are commiting fraud however?

  5. A bit extreme on UK Makes Spamming a Fineable Offense · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Jail time for spammers? That seems a bit extreme for a few reasons. 1) Cost. It costs a LOT of money to keep someone in jail for a year. I don't want to pay it. I don't think you do either. 2) This is a non-violent offence. I can see locking someone up for assault. But spam? That's like locking someone up for possessing narcotics. 'Ain't hurting nobody. Just fine the hell out of them, which will remove the profit margin.
