That's true, but it doesn't answer my question. Geosynchronous satellites can and do modify their inclinations and eccentricities to increase their coverage beyond one spot over the equator.

Why would a geosynchronous satellite have to be in one line over the equator? Why not a higher inclination?

I wish these people wouldn't automatically assume everyone who reads their articles are Americans or otherwise intimately familiar with US institutions. What exactly is it that ICE does that is so bad?

Not American, what's the link between ICE and the Holocaust?

And why should we care? For all I know you might be some kind of e-celeb and coming to Hacker News without knowing who THE mollienne is would be akin to swearing in church, but I still fail to see what I'm supposed to do with your publ

A key feature of the original Macintosh operating system was an orthogonal interface for copying, pasting, dragging and dropping arbitrary data, whether plain or styled text or graphics, into (more or less) arbitrary locations, which was fa

Good point on the shared_pointers. What's your opinion on using Ravenbrook MPS pools and not deal with refcounts at all?

And to add insult to injury they made something as basic and ubiquitous as copy and paste a pro feature that you had to pay extra for.

I'm not a prescriptivist, but I'd caution against the opposite fallacy as well. It's very useful to have distinct language for receiving electric shocks and for dying as a result, as it is to distinguish between getting wet a

They stil acted as if there was. But the worst thing the kid could be accused of is being in breach of contract for seeing more screenings than indicated on his ticket. Besides, it would make a lot more business sense to take it as an oppor

I doubt this is as much of a problem of the police officers as the American legal system. Surely the cost of a movie ticket is better settled in a small claims court than with police intervention and a criminal case. The theatre would have

No, the idea isn't to electrocute the victim. The whole point of it is to as far as possible give a non-lethal shock. If you're going to electrocute someone it would be easier to just shoot them with a conventional firearm.

Jira's primary user demographic is by its very nature capable of building a replacement for it. Build a bare bones system just like Git itself that keeps track of the data and ACLs, and let the silicon valley startup guys make fancy we

That's why open source projects need to register their trademarks. That's how Gnome managed to stop Groupon from ripping off the name for their own project.

Actually I was surprised by the Drupal guy since a lot of the people behind these CoCs seem to be various blue-haired kinksters themselves. I don't think either that or Linus' excessive swearing belongs in a software project, but

Running an engine on alane seems like a spectacularly bad idea. USAF experiments with borane didn't go anywhere, I don't expect this idea to fare any better. Here's a good video on the experiments for those who are unfamiliar

I obviously don't believe they never use SCBA, but doing physically demanding labour while breathing a toxic atmosphere is not an exercise in heroism, but in futility. Supplying bottles in such a situation is challenging for sure, but
