100km isn't exactly arbitrary. It is the altitude where, in order for an aircraft to generate sufficient lift, it would have to be moving at orbital velocity.
Some of us happen to have godawful ugly heads and those around them can be blissfully grateful for whatever cover the hair upon it can afford, whether this hair is natural or not.
Have you thought of decals, caps, or racing stripes?
I can't see how 'the activities of non-governmental entities in outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, shall require authorization and continuing supervision by the appropriate State Party to the Treaty.' is in any way unclear.
Really? Seems rather vague to me. What is "the appropriate state party"? The country from which the vehicle was launched? The country in which the vehicle was made? The country where the pilot comes from? Or the mission commander? Perhaps it is the country over which the moon happens to be when they land on it. Perhaps it is the UN? Is the appropriate state party for the Moon the same one as for Phobos? Perhaps the appropriate state party is the spacecraft's mission commander, or perhaps a duly elected officer of the crew of the spacecraft.
You don't need a passport to enter.
There is no "appropriate State Party" controlling the continent.
Just be sure to take your garbage with you when you leave, not to spill anything, and not to disturb any animals.
Also, it's about the worst spot on the planet from which to launch.
I think he's saying that while you may get death threats in the States, in a Muslim country you wouldn't live long enough to get death threats. In the US, such a painting is would be protected speech. In Muslim countries, this would be a government mandated death penalty.
If you think modern "push" media has a future, I have bridge to sell you. It still has the advantage only in purely linear storytelling. Move to any newer form of multipath stories (aka "video games"), or any form of on-demand stories (aka "books"), and you can consider the anomaly of the past 50 years of broadcast TV as... Well, as an anomaly.
Or my favorite: interactive fiction (aka Slashdot)
The basic problem is that, while it sounds great in theory, in practice the transformations you want don't exist. If they did, you'd have software doing the job already and you wouldn't need to create it....
Plus, stringing components together isn't quite as simple as it sounds.... can we say "highly non-trivial"? And it really doesn't fit the FBP model at all.
Even where things fit the model, it's rarely as simple as "just string them together". I work with software that fits that model. Well, it did. Once. Long ago. And then the business people said "Oh, but customer A wants it do to some other thing if it's a transaction for them.". Followed by "Well, we want to do X, unless C applies in which case we want to do Y."
It's Hypercards and spreadsheet macros all over again. You get some gung ho, zeal without knowledge type in there and suddenly your business is at the mercy of an undecipherable hash of spaghetti code.
That makes no sense. At the end of the day in either system, it is the policies that matter, not the representatives. People in a republic don't go around saying "We have lousy laws, but the politicians were people of great intelligence and character."
Virtual touch? How is that supposed to work? Do you get drop down menu with a list of all of the gestures, or do you get a hand icon that you click and swipe with the mouse?
We elected people that wrote the PATRIOT Act and gave those powers to the NSA.
Did you? I thought those were artifacts of the Military Industrial Complex hard at work; things above and beyond the power and control of the electorate and elected officials.
I thought the technique used in Space 1999 was quite effective, Sound meant that you were there. No sound meant you were watching the events on one of Moonbase Alpha's monitor screens.

Or perhaps something else.
If you are in space, then you are in nobody's territory.

The US only holds its power because oil is traded in US dollars. Once we shift that to bitcoins, the US will be toast.

But all I want to know is, will sudo rm -rf / delete the internet?
No but sudo rm -rf \ will!
\ is the escape sequence. / is the root directory. The GP had it right. rm -rf / will delete the internet.
For everything else, we have Netflix and Hulu.
Must be nice. Around here all Netflix and Hulu have is a "Content not available in your area" webpage.

and all this time i thought the blood cells took waste away from the brain cells to the kidneys. I learned something new today. thanks for posting
There's also lymph - the forgotten circulatory system.
For teenagers, it's more like a cron job running rm -rf /knowledge/school/exam_answers/*
Okay, how to I root my brain to edit my crontab???? Then I can finally not me fail english, which I that unpossible.
By an alarm clock.
Ah! So... actual touch then.

why is this product still viable?
Because they were one of the first out of the gate with a cheap, workable, windows oriented product.
Virtual touch? How is that supposed to work? Do you get drop down menu with a list of all of the gestures, or do you get a hand icon that you click and swipe with the mouse?
I feel ill that I ever voted for the man.
I thought you were supposed to vote for policies and platforms, not people (or parties)
I could write a script that could replace all MBAs with lawyers, but for the sake of the planet I refuse to do so.
A lot of people are raising 5 year olds because they couldn't control themselves 5 years and nine months earlier.

As per the NSA dictionary "Appropriate traffic" is "Any traffic that traverses a network".
Won't help. The data still traverses the NSA monitored infrastructure. Unless you are laying your own cable, your data's being intercepted.
Go back to Fidonet...
Riiight! Because the NSA can't decode modem traffic.
