That's a non-armament treaty. I wasn't aware that she was stationing weapons on the Sun.

I just followed the link from this Forbes page. I see nothing in there about it being a non-armament treaty.

Um, the government article is from the "Bureau of Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance", and the first sentence of the first paragraph reads:Quote: The Outer Space Treaty, as it is known, was the second of the so-called "nonarmament" treaties

You mean you expected me to actually read things?
I went straight for Article II, which is what was being quoted.

Quote: Outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation
The lady ain't no nation, and won't build no military bases, so the terms of the treaty are irrelevant, which is why the Spanish court allowed -- and later defended -- her claim.
And yes, it's asinine, but, at least in this case, everyone involved made money out of it (especially the lawyers), secure in the knowledge that it wouldn't make a jot of difference to anything (unless, of course, people started trying to charge for the photons emitted from the square metres of their "property", which would make lawyers even happier).

Some people prefer decaf coffee later in the day, and producing it typically means using solvents, so beans without caffeine would probably reduce costs.

"premium" decaf (an oxymoron, no?) is decaffeinated with either super-critical (i.e., liquefied) CO2 or a water-based process.
Now technically, both are solvents (Imagine that! You willfully ingest that solvent water all the time hidden in all you eat and drink!) - but in either case, the 'fear factor' is gone form those who must have one.
And so far as I know, nothing about either method (let alone halogenated alkanes) is simply and selectively limited to just the caffeine - and hence the ruining of the coffee to various degrees when it is decaffeinated debouched.

I've always wondered about the process (but never bothered to look it up). If they take the caffeine out, what do they do with it? There's gotta be a market for that product. Skip the coffee, go for the pure caffeine...
(I'm not a coffee drinker, but I've had chocolate-covered coffee beans...and until now hadn't thought about it in years...now, excuse me while I run to the store for a completely unrelated errand...)

That's got to be some sort of ethical violation.

Reminds me of another stupid development in plant breeding: jalapeno peppers that aren't hot. Extends to some other varieties, too.
WTF? If you don't want hot peppers grow/buy peppers that aren't hot - there are certainly plenty of varieties to choose from. What is the reason for pretense that one is using a hot pepper when it's not?
So - here we go again.

It's a weird world when the only way to reliably get the numlock key to toggle on coming out of sleep is to have Task Manager execute a program for that event. MS - come on, you can do better!

You have to understand, there some (backward) compatibility issue with WordPerfect 2.0 that prevent any changes!

It toggles on from sleep mode every time for me. No event handlers needed.
