Posted by michael on from the nooooooooooooooooooo dept.

evenprime writes "Hurricane Frances may end NASA's space shuttle program. John Logsdon, a member of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board and the head of George Washington University's Space Policy Institute in Washington, D.C., has said: 'If there were serious damage to one or two of the orbiters or the facilities needed to process and launch the orbiters, I think it would raise a very large question about the continuation of the shuttle program.'"

    Meatwad: Hey, you guys, did you say that it would be easy to get whatever I want, like faster upload speed, because that's what I really want.

    Inignot: Getting it is easy. Filling it with illegal substances and sending it across the border is not.

    Err: Yeah, see, those dogs, they can smell anything. So you gotta kick 'em in the throat.

    Meatwad: Well hey now, guys, look. I do not want to do anything illegal here... but I would kill somebody... in front of their own mama to get even 128kb/s upstream. And if anybody testifies against me, I'll gouge their eyes out.
