Kessler syndrome is an issue, but not for this particular object. It will stay in orbit for about 9 months before decaying. Residual objects from a collision would decay even faster.

> The most commonly used orbits for both manned and unmanned space vehicles are low earth orbits, which cover an altitude range low enough for residual air drag to be sufficient to help keep the zone clear.

Well, Kaspersky Lab is a russian company.

I don't remember ever seeing Linux create a Zombie(Z) when a process is KILLed while in the (D) state. It just stays alive, stuck in D state.

That was just the paint burning off, I think.

What do you mean by "Namecheap uses Cloudflare"? The authoritative DNS for namecheap.com is Verisign.

That's how I interpreted the OP.

Please remember that the Schiaparelli lander was an experimental lander. The intention was to test the landing technology. So yes, it failed to land, but it was not exactly unexpected...

And 90% of that 90% has that tiny modification that is a nightmare to debug.

It's not constructive, at all. "When you think about it"? Well, I tought about it, and patents are useful for their stated purpose.

Full circle back to Slashdot's moderation? :)

There is a systematic trend of polarization on Facebook. For example, if you engage with eaglerising "news", you'll see more of them in the future.

They may actually do it manually.

You are asking them to store your files and give them back to you on request, after all.

The Schiaparelli lander is an experiment to test this specific landing method. The landing is the experiment. It's battery-powered and will go dark in a few days.

The original title was: “No Signal from European Schiaparelli Mars Lander”. I was talking about trigger-happy, misleading coverage from the BBC and Telegraph, not ESA.

Wow, the news coverage is really awful. They have not confirmed anything yet.

Any source? Direct communication to Earth was expected to be unstable, but there is a satellite monitoring the lander as well...

How are the effects of long duration spaceflight on humans to be studied without some sort of space presence?

Possibly, it means that they have tested it with 48, and any more is left as an experiment for the daring. Just guessing.

Maybe

The signature files are stored with the data, but there is a local cache.

Well, yeah, Google has logs of what what people search on their search engine.

The SLA is per month

You cut the quote to change the meaning.

"Although I still have serious misgivings about the systemd upstream’s attitude, I’ve got to say I find the system rather refreshing and useful in practice."

The margin trading scam is considered a "feature" by the devs at the moment, and has existed for a long time.

Basecamp apparently uses an nginx/openresty plugin to pauses requests during a deployment: https://github.com/basecamp/intermission

I think it's more about the high level of happiness, not the specific situation.

In Canada, it's actually illegal to do so.

It's hard to say with that mess of config fragments but having the mod_proxy_connect module loaded was probably the culprit.
