#13I also wonder with #spacepunk tech brewing if it's possible to actually overpower a satellites signal. There is someone on kickstarter working on low earth orbit satellites that would stay in orbit for 2 weeks.
As far as I know, all rockets are heavily regulated by the FAA, including have representatives at launch. I'd be willing to bet that an unauthorized launch wouldn't last very long.
Sure, but what are they going to do about it once it's up there?

#15Thank god he wore the official t-shirt for the interview.
How else would the people watching know that he's a hacker? I mean, he doesn't have a six-monitor setup with a spinning rubik's cube compiling a hydra, he's not wearing 3D goggles, and they didn't have to go past his mom into a basement.

The US, Russia, and China all have proven anti-satellite weapon systems. IIRC they are very similar to missiles designed to intercept ICBMs.

Any code that starts with a long quote from V for Vendetta is not worth my time.
I think anyone thinking about attempting this should read the story about the boy who cried wolf. If anything you reduce trust in the emergency broadcast system. This would be very bad, especially if a genuine emergency shortly followed a B.S. hacker broadcast

#19Anyone else get the feeling that all of this "hacker" stuff in the media is serving to raise the profile of "hackers" and position them as the new "terrorists" in an effort to create an environment of fear that will lead to support for upcoming Internet regulations?
Maybe if "hackers" started showing a little judgement and self-control, and stopped acting like a Penn State coach on a grade school playground.

It would have to be a very irritating satellite indeed to justify the expenditure of hundreds of millions and loss of secrecy to those programs involved in shooting down a random satellite.
