Why bother with a nuke? You don't need anything approaching large yield to take out a satellite. A standard Air-to-Air warhead would do the job fine...
People generally don't talk on the cell phone when they shower... and if you have a camera with you in the shower/bathroom, something funny is going on already.
Beyond making it far to noisy to hear (or be heard), most cell phones don't do well in the presence of water.
It's like me saying "Well I bought a new car and when I replaced the brakes, a police officer put a boot on my tire - without warning or explanation. He then drove off without a word."
Ah, but you have to stop or slow down on approach to Mars, if you plan on staying very long. Ion engines might not cut it - and anything more powerful (as above) could be problematic.
As well, the ISS doesn't have the shielding required for interplanetary travel - so we either need to shield it, or move it as quickly as possible (unless you don't mind dead astronaughts and damaged materials)

Especially now!
People want their distractions, they want to forget about all the shit going on.
Making games cheap enough for that demographic to afford... that would be a very wise move.
That group of players should return to the store with their demonstrably-defective titles.

Agreed. I'll buy it when we get our Linux client.
Meanwhile, I have other things to do.
This makes me wonder why we can't lab-grow a retina for this purpose, or use one from a fresh cadaver.
You could find something 'better' than a human eye, this way.
... and the rest of us will just say it, and refrain from gesticulating like a mental patient.

Hrrm, my Sidekick Slide (which isn't all that great) takes about 1 second to give you a working camera...
Neither does Ubuntu.
Just get rid of pulseaudio, or remove it's executable permission. Everything falls back to ALSA silently.
Did you read the rest of the problem?
To adapt your analogy:
It's like me saying "Well I bought a new car and when I replaced the brakes, a police officer put a boot on my tire - without warning or explanation. He then drove off without a word."
Hrm, I smell a new DoS vector.
Attack DLLs used by common commercial packages, and watch as productivity drops to the floor.
1. This will satisfy the aim of such attacks
2. This will quickly show how innapropriate such measures are
Hopefully #2 above will happen as a natural course of #1, and teach the vendors not to be such dicks.
It's using my electricity, in my copper and silicon. It will do what I damned well want it to do!
Bugfixes (including security) may not happen at all, let alone in a timely manner.
The problem however, is that most of the KDE folks are working on 4.0. Don't expect terribly much attention to 3.5.
4.0.0 is NOT a final release number. It's a major revision number. See the x.0.0 part? That's the important part!
Remember KDE 3.0? Compare that to 3.5.
"KDE 4.0 is the innovative Free Software desktop containing lots of applications for every day use as well as for specific purposes."
This does not mean the windowing system. This means all the KDE 3.5 applications that are installed along with the 4.x stuff.
You could probably fix those problems.
Model-M buckling springs are easy to work, if you are careful and observant.
Methinks someone doesn't know what "troll" means.
I use 1680x1050 - and don't see any showstoppers.
What the hell are you talking about?
I invite you to actually look at my comment history.
While I agree the lawsuit(s) is(are) bullshit, this is not the attitude to take.
You don't make friends talking like this:
mdcurry: The Pirate Bay: "We reserve the right to choose freely to whom we speak. We do not speak with assholes." #spectrial
There is no reason the licence needs to be in 'legalese' instead of plain english. Just be careful that there are no loopholes in interpretation.

That's a non-argument.
So you are saying I should stop turning off my A/C and lights, since someone else would use that electricity anyways?
Should I run my taps 24/7 as well, since someone else would be using that fresh water anyways?
No.
This is even more hilarious, as Mars is/was the God of War.
Right? Or am I thinking of something else?
