Corvettes have had fiberglass bodies since the early seventies.
That's why I hate being in Corvette accidents. I can handle the broken bones, blood loss and internal damage but the damn itching that the fiberglass gives you really sucks.
You don't get a whole lot more broke than burnt up in the atmosphere now do you.
Until it's proven that the software was responsible, you're just AFAT[0]. If it was caused by the wing being damaged NO amount of Well Written New Software could have saved Columbia once the descent into the atmosphere started.
they could very well decide that a 20+ year old OS is too archain to be used on the shuttle.
And that would be a damn shame if they decide to switch so another OS Just Because The Current One Is Old. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" keeps echoing in my head.
so like I was working on a paper for school and I thought it'd. be.. like.. cool.. to put my PC laptop in... the oven... for like.. 20 minutes and it was like.. bleep bloop bleep and it died. I lost my paper.. it was.. a.. really good paper.
Then I bought a Mac laptop. I was working on another.. like.. paper.. and thought it'd be cool to put.. this Mac.. in the.. like.. oven for 20 minutes. and I did.. and it still booted up..

So for many, many months I was using my OpenBSD machine thinking "Man oh man this looks like Windows. It even has a Start menu." Everything worked exactly as a Windows machine except for pokey games and the slight lags I'd notice once in a while.
My dream was shattered when I realized I was just VNC'd to my Windows machine.

Up there.. in the sky.. it's a bird.. it's a plane.. it's Columbia!
Do we look down on non-computer people so much that we don't even bother to ask anymore why they do stupid things?
Yes. Do you think the submitter's thoughts were:
"Man, this woman is a retard? I better ask her why she did this.."
or was it more along the lines of:
"Bahaha, stupid twat! I can't wait to submit this to slashdot!"
My money is on the latter.

That doesn't make any sense, *BSD has been dying for far longer than 5 years!
Shouldn't "Be" be called "HasBeen"?
Can't fit much pr0n in 4K.
Be nice you guys. Yes it's a dupe, but at least they were from different editors. I'm still waiting for that to happen.

Long ago, before I had a Real Job(tm), I helped out at one of the very first comdexes to earn money to buy crusts of dry bread.
RMS is that you? Oh wait you mention having a job..
Comdex is dying.

Mr. Barry,
There have been monumental events during which people can recall exactly where they were when the incident happened. Notable examples include:
- The JFK assassination
- The moon landing
- The Challenger and Columbia incidents
My question is: where were you when Al Gore invented the Internet?
Al Gore first wrote about this. It was a precursor to his "Internet" paper he wrote years later.
It's all coming clear to me now.. Bush doesn't want to take Iraq's oil, they want to use all their sand for energy.
The whole idea behind "the period" is to get rid of unnecessary material so the cycle can start again
Ohhhh... I thought it was so I could earn my red wings .
Good idea! I'd keep some used ones around for those full moon nights when I feel like a cup o' tea!
I want rope, gas, fire and moss arrows from the Thief series of games!
