Thanks, Jimaz. I removed the parens and went with the -- and comma! Looks like it is accessible to all.

Yes, I noticed.

I just wish we could get to the root cause of this bug so folks don't have to deal with it.

Someday we may come to regret overambitiously burying society under a thick blanket of technology.

Over the years I've noticed that when too much technology creates a problem, the reflexive reaction is to turn to even more technology for a solution.

Okay, to be fair, there must be more to the story but at 5:17 Iridium's Matt Desch says "We think the most important thing is don't create any more while we're still trying to figure out a technical solution for it."

The solution will have to involve removing junk at a faster rate than it's added.
