While I agree to a point, I have to... point out... another phrase you should probably be up-in-arms about: "You stole my idea!"

Kind of hard to -take- an idea from someone, after all...

Nah, I would have snuck in a death threat if it was.

CFAA: the worst, most overreaching, over-broad, and over-abused set of laws to ever "grace" our legal system.

Well, next to interstate commerce.

Not to say you're wrong, but would it really have been so hard for them to reply asking for details? Simply closing it without even a response is not appropriate, even if it is a useless report.

As someone else said, if it was publicly viewable it was not an appropriate place to put the details. Perhaps he should have offered them (I have reproducibility details, please contact me) but really, the onus for that was on them and not him.

Hell you should at least respond to the reporter! "Can you provide more detail?" and then waiting for said detail is infinity better than ignoring or rejecting it.

To be clear, just because they said it was "1.0" and not alpha, doesn't make it not alpha. It's not feature complete - it's still in alpha state no matter what you choose to call it.

"1.0" means nothing - it's not feature complete, so it's still Alpha.

I don't publicize what I can't finish. I don't take money for a product that I'll never finish.

Oh look, it says the same fucking thing!

By those same ToS, having a chart of information such as "thefts per capita" would be in violation...

Yea, and I've gone back to try and find old projects or software, only to find that it was hosted on geocities, tripod or the like.

Yea, the HTML was horrid, but the files the HTML linked to were not necessarily.

Why would you (routinely) want to directly edit your object files? What exactly are you trying to do that a non-experimental compiler can't do better?

You can maneuver with reaction wheels and a charged tether. You likely could get away with the most massive (ideally central) satellite using this, and the rest can be "pulled" using this new system relative to it.

It sounds like this whole scheme would then be limited by the power storage capacity of the satellites. Lots of solar, good batteries, or maybe RTGs (though not sure how much that would be accepted, in orbit)

More strutz!

How do you measure growing? Sure, I have an account. Because I did it to get gmail to stop nagging me. I [i]never[/i] use it, and have no plans to.

If anything I'm wasting resources for G+!
