1. Due to it's orbit it has to change downlink stations rapidly. Not something that is very common on the Internet....
Why not? Transitioning basestations has presumably been achieved for all other traffic to from the space station, and is a relatively trivial problem for just about every single cellphone system.
2. There is nothing on Internet that is of any interest to an astronaut, and if it were; not something they would have to retrieve for themselves
Months in space, no females or porn? What could possibly be of interest on the Internet I wonder....
Paris, because she knows what every astronaut needs....
If I recall, Nutt went on to say that the chances of "dope psychosis" are minimal and this was factored into his comments. The real risk is approximately double that of a non-cannabis user i.e. statistically significant but not greatly so. Your chances of dying from alcohol or tabacco use are much greater. As further evidence that the doctors are not on the side of Daily Mail outrage, it is the opinion of the BMA and Lancet that cannabis should be legalised
The GPL protects MySQL from inactivity; if Oracle did let MySQL fester in any way, it would be forked and stolen from them. Eben Moglen, who created version 3 of the GPL to meet the legal requirements of the current age rebuts Monty's squealing most effectively

The new fork obviously would not have the MySQL brand and trademarks, but that hasn't stopped forks of Firefox for Debian (Iceweasel) or Joomla! being a highly successful fork of Mambo when that project went in a direction that most developers didn't want. Gnome sprung from KDE over licensing issues (at the time). In short, there are plenty of examples of successful forks when a GPL direction heads in an unfriendly direction.
Paris - because she supports as much forking as possible....
One problem with a space weapon is the energy costs in getting it up (so as to speak). It requires a fairly large rocket to get a 10 ton payload to altitude.
Then there's the accuracy viewpoint. You'd need a bigger laser to 'light up' your target from space, although a combination of GPS and image recognition would probably do the job....
Just to play Devil's Advocate, you understand...
Regardless of who is right and who is wrong, I suspect that a more critical comparison, bearing in mind the fairly indiscriminate blowing up of a stolen fuel tanker in a crowd of civilians, and the use of Predator to hit targets regardless of whether there will also be civilian casualties, may result in a few more Yes results against the US and its Allies. The US does not need to hijack civilian aircraft for its building rammings, as it has enough military ordinance to do the job without such methods.
I also suggest that visits by US right wing fundamental ministers, plus linking of aid to church oriented sex education might convert the last couple to "Yes, maybes" too.
'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-MAGPIE!!
The other magpies were checking to see whether it was really dead or simply pining for the fjords
I never start shooting after a plate of beans, so wind isn't a problem.
Anyway, 1.5km up means you're probably 2-3 km in a straight line to the target, unless you're directly underneath the thing with a load of pissed off 'merkin soldiers.....
It's still something you could shoot at with a missile though.
