  2. Given NASA's history on safety... by Sebby · · Score: -1, Troll
    I'm not surprised.

    Considering they still played the russian-roulette game described in the Challenger report when Columbia happened (ie. still having below-standard criticality 1 items flying), this should really be no surprise to anyone.

    I thought that the Columbia board's statement that it had no confidence that things would improve considering NASA's history speaks volume.

  3. Sad news- entrepeneur Bill Gates dead at 48 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - entrepeneur Bill Gates was killed at his Washington estate this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    The people that designed Columbia? I wouldn't be suprised if a bunch of worms and viruses for Linux crop up soon. I hope the government isn't using this OS, the terrorists were proficient in Linux if you remember.
