Yeah but you get lonely after a while.

While I'm totally in favour of playing by the rules, the ITU lists 2025-2110 MHz as both earth to space and space to space use. Not quite as menacing as implied.

We don't have the Delta-v. In short, we can't alter our velocity sufficiently with current tech. You need to slow down A LOT to fall into the sun.

It's just a 4 minute daily show segment on it and is padded with ads, probably available on YouTube.

Strangely, this is also the case in Australia.

As a Nokia Mobile Phones employee in the mid 2000s, I can confirm this was indeed the case. The US wouldn't pay over $100 for a handset, and Nokia was already losing money on hardware in the phone sale to have it subsidized by network providers. Nokia wanted to add tech and capability, but the high end stuff didn't sell at a profit and carriers wouldn't sell phones that were more expensive than their customers would pay. Apple was an exception due to marketing as "premium".

I'm very surprised to see Alien Front Online in that list, for reasons. It was unceremoniously taken offline when the hardcoded IP of the bootstrap server was taken back by the telco when we switched providers.

Ahh, memories.

The power LED isn't on.
