    I wasn't sure if this should be modded flamebait, since there doesn't seem to be an 'astroturf' rating. *Any* version of windows should not be on the internet without a separate firewall solution deployed. Period.

    This just feels too much like a marketing FUD to make people buy more Microsft licenses.

    I agree with your idealism, but consider this,

    Its hard enough to impose jurisdiction on vessels sailing international waters, to be dammed with treaty enforcement. If a private corporation were to start lobbing Volkswagon sized Meteorites from out of orbit, or threaten to detonate a nuke at range, washing the entire Earth with an EMP blast that fries all circuitry. How would you get there to stop that private corporation? A security corporation? The treaty you refer to prevents Military in space.

    Even as a child I instantly understood "Trickle down Economics" as "Sh!t rolls downhill".

    In the US at least, we live in a world that is ruled more and more by corporations. Basically thugs in nice clothing, are more powerful than the government. What do you think is going to happen when they get in space?

    First one to space with an fully armed and operational battle station will rule the entirety of the human race.

    Perhaps I should have spelled it out since some of us cannot process abstractions.

    Perhaps we can use a quote from a movie to bring it to the consumer generation. "Best Block, Not be there" If you don't want to suffer the effects of post processing then place yourself in an environment where there is no post processing. Go to a concert.

    Extra points for naming the movie.

    That's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. As long as you hold that view you're one less person we have to plan for when the research acquired while going in circles yields dividends around other planets we orbit in circles, just as our planet goes in circles around our sun, as the Moon goes in circles around the planet.

    There is one Curious parallel that epitomizes the stereotypical duality of your post however. You strike me as the type of Anti - Space, lets focus on earth Nascar lover. Worshiping painted tin cans on rubber wheels going in circles as fast as they can. I have sad news for you, our little tin cans go *way* faster, and our track is so big we have to race 100 miles above the surface of Earth. our track time is about 90 minutes, but we cover the circumference of the earth in less time than it takes a Nascar race to complete.

    You can keep your silly little toys.

    The atrophy claim is likely caused by the rats using their muscles to try and get upright. This sounds a lot like French researchers getting bored and drunk at work and said "Hey, Lets hang rats by their tails!! Woo hoo!"
