Excellent idea! You could add to this the requirement that companies adhere to pollution standards, environmental standards, resource consumption, even CO2 footprint. Compliance would be by a certification body, paid for by the company, and any violations or local complaints would be investigated and resolved immediately.
Just a guess but I would assume that the weapon monitoring systems either stopped working, indicated the weapons were malfunctioning, or else showed some anomalous readings. You don't need a launch to have a malfunction...
Yes, speaking of bad physics, why can't you coast to orbit? If an object at 10 ft altitude is moving at a high enough velocity, it sure as hell is going into orbit unless something gets in its way, without any additional propellant.
- does not believe climate change is occurring, but if it is believes its non-anthropogenic, but if it is it will take thousands of years/is self-correcting so no action needed, even if not they personally do not need to change
Who said anything about punishment? I think the proposal calls for an email or phone call to the 'victim' to advise them they have been hijacked. Remember, they could also have a keylogger installed to get their bank passwords, too.
By extending your analogies, you're saying that AIDS victims should not be notified they have the disease, but leave them free to infect the population unaware.
Its not just a new remix of Debian or Fedora - most people seem to be missing what could be potentially huge: Chrome will replace Xorg, and maybe also GNOME and KDE with something new.
I assume they wouldn't bother unless it will be superior to all of these, i.e. smaller, faster, more stable, and easier to code for.
Maybe it will even run games better, and maybe even include a directX-type graphics subsystem? Or maybe finally get OpenGL implemented correctly?
Pretty sure we have not managed much mass to energy conversion as yet.
Wikipedia says 97% of the Tsar Bomba energy came from nuclear fusion. Fusion is not matter conversion, although some small amount will be converted (but less than 0.1%).
Obviously some penalties are needed otherwise the weasels will constantly try, try, and try again until all civil liberties are gone.
Let it be resolved that: If any elected politician tries to make a law which is found to contravene the spirit of the principles embodied in a countries bill or charter of rights and freedoms, then that politician will be immediately removed from office and publicly flogged.
Let's see how many friends in office the RIAA/MPAA etc. have after reading that into law.
How about giving the money to Universities to create graduate projects in open source? Maybe even high schools?
Sure, some money will be wasted on crappy projects, but the code from those crappy projects will still be in the commons, and the students will have learned something.
If you want it more directly stimulus-related, then tell them to build labs and buy hardware.
Boy, you people sure are terrified of socialism. I get the feeling there are a lot of people who would rather see any unemployed person starve than give them a penny of government money.
Think of it this way: would you rather be forced to pay some guy to make widgets you don't want and only he will profit from, or pay someone to pick up garbage in the park?
At least the latter contributes to the public good.
You ignore facts inconvenient to your arguments, so you are not worth debating, but also your math is awful.
You say 35 minutes at 65 mph = 4 hrs at 15 mph. Then you ramble on about 'traffic and stuff', and make a lame attempt to justify the whole stinking package by saying you used an extreme example. Sort of proves my point, no? Ever heard of public transit? Blows any cost comparison with a personal car out of the water.

So robots can have babies, now?
I've been marooned to die on Earth for many years now.
You don't think they can x-ray and OCR handwritten letters?
Why would someone write malware that dumps money into some unrelated stranger's bank account?
This one should be pretty easy, no? Which premium numbers benefited from the text messages?
Wow, you really did your homework! Except they actually did exactly what you claim they should have done. (well, except for the MS part)

Nobody's noticed, its M. Othman? As in MOTHMAN?
Seriously? Our ambassador to aliens is named M.Othman? Like the MOTHMAN?

The proposal is to use the launcher to get up to the speed at which a scramjet can ignite, not Mach 10. The scramjet will then take you to Mach 10.

1. This is a deceptive scam.
2. They are stealing people's money via easily proven fraud
3. The perpetrators should be easily identified by whoever cashes the cheques
What am I missing here?
Usually the first thing a trojan does is block access to MS Update, McAfee, Norton, etc. websites

in certain orbits. And its only a few hundred miles away...

How useful is a VR connection to Mars with a 20-minute communication delay?
