This is a super idea. We can test all the things that might go wrong (would go wrong) without the risk of the cable or counterweight crashing into the earth.
They do mention other engineering challenges yet to be resolved, so no launch this year.
Can you imagine the shock to Joe Public when NASA starts building this, and they have never heard of a space elevator? And the pictures would be stupendous. Well, some of them. The cable itself would be invisible from almost every angle.
No porn on the first two pages, except possibly the Cyrillic site. Unlikely to be porn sites seeding a popular term. Leaving the intentional block and stupid search engine theories.
(i) Many spammers have become so adept at masking their tracks
that they are rarely found, and are so technologically sophisticated
that they can adjust their systems to counter special filters and
other barriers against spam and can even electronically commandeer
unprotected computers, turning them into spam-launching weapons of
mass production.
Slashdot Mirror
And about time. Slashdot seems to link to NYT for everything, including stories from the wire services.
Submit them with links to alternative open sources and add those alternate links in the early posts.
You will be paid in karma, and that is fair.

Ever hear about the glow in the dark rabbit?
(Hint: jellyfish genes)
So some handy vector (bacteria? mosquitoes?) moves the gene from wild carp to a mammal poplulation.
Hilarity ensues.

Might be all that is needed ....

That could be Bayes filter poisoning. BOT sent spam to spoil Spamassassin scores. It may not work, but they seem to be doing it. MB
