Actually, it would be minutes even if they were on the same side of the Sun. The closest that Earth and Mars get is roughly fifty million miles, which would require roughly 250 seconds to send a radio signal between the two.
An unpowered geostationary orbit would require that the satellite be directly above a point on the earth's equator, as a certain altitude. How many such places are under US jurisdiction (as opposed to interdiction)?
Those second counters won't be running out on 64-bit machines for quite some time (2^63-1 seconds from 1970), and who'll be using 32-bit machines in 2038?
Not too many suicide bombers at Pearl Harbor (that came later in the war). Also, while it was a brilliant tactical victory, its influence on American morale was completely the opposite of what the Japanese expected, to the extent that it was a strategic setback to the Empire of the Rising Sun.

The moon's orbit is over the equator, which is mostly water. Did he own that?
Also, he would have to have owned the entire equator. Did he also charge for surface crossings?
This is not the update you are looking for.
Those make me suspicious, as I don't have a PayPal account. Same for the eBays phishers.
You may own the space up to the roof of your house, or somewhat higher, but as some point, it's the FAA's.
NASA is part of the government.

If the machine is that plucky, it deserves a better name!
Your airspace? Do you own the space above your property?
Sovereign immunity.

How much do you get for laying patios? :-)
I believe the original poster was engaging in sarcasm. You failed to mention his reversal of the ownership of Java and C#.

But what about Windowmaker? Or Fluxbox? Or IceWM?
On the other hand, KDE and Gnome allow for multiple desktops out of the box (as do the others).
Suse includes a lot of bloat, but only its users install it.
Used software or used commercial software? In the former case, how do they include FOSS?
What? No RJ-45 ports in government restrooms? Oh, the horror!
Perhaps they've been reading too much Heinlein (The Moon is a Harsh Mistress).

I've heard of Tom Selleck, but who's Ted Selleck?
A party that'll support legalized abortion will do and say anything to get power.
So what's the Republicans' excuse?
Ah yes, the "Linus doesn't scale" argument!
Windows XP has runas.exe. Of course, it's invoked from a command prompt. How many XP users use a command prompt?
52,117? The buildings in the photo in the Wikipedia article would suggest a higher figure.
Yeah, leave it to those BSD commies to rip off Microsoft's TCP/IP stack.
