Space Station Leak Found, Fixed
Rommel writes "NewScientist.com is reporting that the cause of the leak in the International Space Station has been found and fixed. The leak was found in a hose in the Destiny lab module. The hose was used to equalize pressure and eliminate fog between two panes of a window. While the leak was so slow it was unlikely to pose a direct threat to the crew for months to come, some equipment on the ISS is only certified to operate above a certain air pressure. The leak was originally mentioned on Slashdot a few days back."
Me thinks she is cute...
FRIST P0ST!!!!
Space Stations. What is it all about... is it good, or is it whack?
Salvage 1 was a short-lived television series but I have never forgotten it. You may remember it as "that show where a guy built a spaceship out of junk and flew to the moon". Well, it began as a two-hour television movie aired in January, 1979 starring Andy Griffith as Harry Broderick, the proprieter of Jettison Scrap and Salvage Company.
He was a junkman with an extraordinary dream...to salvage the junk left on the moon by the Apollo moon expeditions in the 1960's and 70's. The subsequent series followed the adventures of Harry and his crew as they undertook various salvage and business ventures. I was a young teenager at the time Salvage 1 aired. Looking back, the show's charm lay in its positive outlook on life (that everyday people can do extraordinary things) and in the characters.
Although Salvage 1 was sometimes embarrassingly bad (i.e."Confederate Gold"), there were almost always some wonderful character moments. I enjoyed the imaginative fun of the show; evident in the whimsical theme music, the thrown-together design of the spaceship Vulture and the portrayal of Harry Broderick by Andy Griffith, who is one
of my sentimental favorite actors. The original two hour pilot/ movie, "Salvage" is undoubtedly the best of all the episodes. After all, as it has been noted, where can you go after you've been to the moon? That may be why the show only lasted a little over half a season. However, I remember it fondly to this day.
Now, had the leak been in a non-American-made part of the space station, I could have made a funny!
Remember, kids: it's not about being the best, it's about making fun of everybody else.

I can't seem to find the link for the patch on kernel.org. Someone want to point me in the right direction?

I saw a Cops rerun over the weekend. They were dealing with an alligator on the loose. They called in a couple of alligator trappers, and guess what they used to clamp the alligator's jaw?
Duct tape.
When my wife saw that, she laughed and remarked that duct tape can fix anything.
