You have to click through a lot of links to get there, but the PDF of his dissertation is online at his university's website: http://repository.tudelft.nl/assets/uuid:2f66fe0c-4080-4148-a01c-acd530160797/Report_BSc_complete.pdf

Never mind RDF. What's 'sport'?

Maximum sentence 70 years, so no, not necessarily.

That's not what TFA says.

Yes, but the question is where does the stupidity lie? Is it in naively blasting out radar signals, or in not properly shielding your sensitive spacecraft? Probably both, but I'd favour the latter, since they know such possibilities exist.

Well he had kids, so not exactly...

And 70 years later we have sponsors on Slashdot. Did we really win the war? Did we?

Hah. I saw this headline and immediately thought the same thing.

What it sounds like to me is separating the notions of files from the notion of storage. So only the engineer and the underlying system needs to worry about whether your data is on your hard drive, or the cloud, or a pen drive.
