Why don't we just nudge it into a stable orbit, then use it as political capital to help foster 'peaceful' relations with NK, so that Murdoch will be able to legally use NK labor to produce entertainment for his umbrella of media endeavors?:)
Nah, let's just nudge it so it crashes on Murdoch instead.
I'm kind of wondering whey we don't use one of the NSA space shuttles... pardon me, "test" vehicles that don't exist... to capture it and bring it safely down to Earth.
Or would I be breaking Super Secret Double Probation by admitting the vehicles we launched do exist?
Cause if the death satellite crashes on Seattle or Vancouver or NYC there's going to be a lot of fired NSA people.
Wrong. The Right to be Forgotten used to exist in the USA. Until somewhere in the 80s, people literally could move to another state and effectively do a full reset.
So, in other words, you agree with my translation, not the deliberately muddy way that FB communicates with people.
However, let us be crystal, EU citizens do have rights that override corporate desires, and the Right to be Forgotten used to be one of the hallmarks of America, not Europe.
It is a shame how far we have fallen from our former glory here in the US.
I wasn't describing customs, or the farce which is TSA (which doesn't even work), just the likelihood that taking your laptop to China means the intelligence services will install spyware on it.
Internet 2: a UN controlled system, with lots of corporate and corrupt govt control, run on identifiable IPv6.
and finally
Internet 3: the fast internet, the one with all the privacy and goodness rolled in, run on IPv6SECmod5 with mask anonymizers but such clearly identified as "anonymous" so we can filter them out ourselves.
Ah yes, China and Sudan are bad but US allies like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan would be so much better! Not trying to be advocate for the former two countries, but saying UN is unjust because it tolerates human rights violation is kinda hypocrisy.
All four are bad. Try taking a laptop to China and you'll learn what both censorship and government spying really mean.
Other than using our subs and divers to cut the cables or use the embedded kill codes on the satellites, it really doesn't matter what the US thinks about it.
The Internet was designed to reroute around damage.
Maybe you're too young to remember, or you can't find it easily on the Internets, but back in the 60s when I was a kid, my family used to own French House Island off Jonesport in Maine, and we'd be up there every summer.
It had been observed then.
Now, that said, there's nothing better than Maine Lobster. We used to make blueberry pancakes from the blueberries on the island, and eat fresh lobster in butter, as well as clams we dug up and mussels.
But just because you can't find it observed this century doesn't mean it's "never been observed".

Sux to be the US.

One has to wonder if the Air-Force's X-37B kinda gave it a nudge.
Ssh, we're not supposed to admit those exist yet.

But that would be simple.

You can also tag lobsters. We used to band them in the 60s.
And code numbers on the band.
Hence: observed.
You mean filmed.
Actually, I'm also a Canadian.
I wasn't describing customs, or the farce which is TSA (which doesn't even work), just the likelihood that taking your laptop to China means the intelligence services will install spyware on it.
They wait until you go to sleep.
Seriously.
Trust us. ...
Hey, come back!
In other words, FB just wants to sell your data, and will come up with any excuse to justify that.
Well, it was fun, at least.
Exactly, so china wants paper and gunpowder back.
So long as we get to keep repeating crossbows, I'm ok with that.

Any damage.
Real foodies only eat wild raised lobsters fed on bison that eat nut grass.
Why is Lobster still so expensive?
I've personally seen lobster for sale in Maine for as little as $2.80/lbs. That's cheaper than hotdogs.
Exactly. And with the price of steak going up due to global warming impacts on cattle foodstocks, it's even cheaper to eat lobster, relatively.
People incorrectly think that lobsters get caught in the traps, and never get out.
In actual fact, they tend to hang out in the traps, and then leave at some point.
The bait and the shelter from the traps makes them great places to visit.

Anti-vaccination anti-science people like this are why my state has 5500 whooping cough cases in 2012 already, when we had only 400 in 2011.
And it's why everyone in my medical genetics and biostatistics labs went to get TDaP booster shots.
Seriously, I almost wish the Mayan calendar "crisis" was real, because they might rapture themselves.
Mine says Firefox 17.0 and it just update to that.
But the Canadian $1 coin had edges and the $2 coin had an inset, so you could tell it apart from the quarter.
So if all the vending machines choke on them, how come in Canada I can buy coke and chips from a vending machine using $1 and $2 coins? ... waiting ...
In Canada they have 2 dollar coins. The one dollar coin is the Loonie, and the two dollar coin is the Toonie.
