That tether experiment does not substantially relate to the kind of tether system the grandparent referred to.
Vertical tether from a large to a small object in LEO to suck electrical energy off of orbital motion != tether in interplanetary space with a continually changing orientation, not meant or able to suck electrical energy off orbital motion, connected between two large objects
and this is an example of a court needing to use historical legal theories to grapple with new and previously unforeseen contexts in Cyberspace.
You say that like it's some sort of problem, but extension by analogy is the way language, and thus civilization, grows. Heck, tresspass is probably what people think of when they notice the spyware on their PC and think "this shouldn't be legal".
"By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are, do. Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers, Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no fucking joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your fucking soul, kill yourself. Planting seeds. I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke... there's no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun from a friend - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations. I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that. You fucking evil scumbags! "Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done research - huge market. He's doing a good thing." Godammit, I'm not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a godamm dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet! "Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill's very bright to do that." God, I'm just caught in a fucking web! "Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market - look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar..." How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don't you?"
The recent literature on the topic shows that people adjust to increases in wealth very quickly. More money is definitely not the answer for direct happiness. See Loewenstein & Frederick, 1997.
The rat oral LD50s are about the same, but methanol will easily blind you at non-fatal levels, is much more volatile (leading to increased inhalation of vapors), and if I'm not mistaken is much more easily absorbed through the skin.
Dude, that's what "virtualization" means in the context of recent computing... "emulation" is where you emulate the entire thing ALA Bochs. "Virtualization" you just trap system code and hardware access and redirect them.
I don't know WTF you're talking about... let's assume a CRT 10 inches across, and a nominal horizontal frequency of 60 KHz... that makes 15 km/sec, or a mere 1/20000 of c.
If there is a team of 3 or 4 that is 90% responsible for building the worlds worst weapon, should they have a say if it is used? Or do they lose that right when the finish making it?
Without saying anything about "rights this" or "rights that", it's pretty clear that they lost the ability to have a say in its use when they agreed to construct it for someone else, namely, a military-industrial-congressional complex actively involved in massive amounts of killing.

I did not claim it was easy, or even that anyone alive has the capability to change that aspect of human behavior on a mass scale in a short time period. I merely pointed out that if the majority had not gone along, the various things would not have happened.
Ahh, but if you pay your "protection fee" to Lyon instead of the Russians, then he will protect you from having to pay a fee to anyone else, which the Russians cannot do. So his extortion is a more valuable service for the same price:-)

The primary purpose of the FCC regulation of commercial broadcast radio bands nowadays is to maintain a limited amount of radio stations
fixed
remember, there's a lot more spectrum the FCC regulates than just that.
that wouldn't have happened to be the us physics olympiad training camp in 2000, would it?

Sitting in one spot in houston, my GPS altimeter has read anywhere from -100 to 150 feet (actual elevation at that spot was ~60 feet).
Pasadena, OTOH, is low enough that the storm surge might cause flooding.
The stuff is still poisonous and flammable.

oplink has been very helpful with forwarding complaint letters to me instead of cutting me off, and you can run whatever servers you like too.

No. It could not have happened if the majority of the people didn't go along thinking it was a good idea, too.

That's not irony, that's a deliberate strategy.
That trick doesn't work quite as well when the audience in question is a bunch of PhDs, and worldwide at that, as opposed to the general public.
