One of the stories that I've heard is that it refers to the hardware configuration of the first drive, which had 30 MB fixed disk and 30 MB removable disk, 30-30, like the popular cartridge for the Winchester repeating rifle.
If you are maneuvering at flank speed with active sonar, trying to dodge an incoming torpedo, it's safe to say that stealth is not one of your hallmarks.
Cell phones aren't special. That's why there have been a number of federal laws passed to curtail abuses in lending, consumer credit, telephone sales and other areas where the free market wasn't working. Industry specific laws are not unusual either. That's why there are public utility commissions, insurance regulators, and other license and regulatory bodies.
I had the same problem. All of the carriers seem to be raising the minimum price of their plans. I used to have a $15 a month plan, which was discontinued by the carrier. The last time I shopped for a new plan, I couldn't find any cheap monthly plans. I ended switching to a Cingular pay-as-you-go phone and plan. After paying $60 for the phone, it costs $25 every three months for airtime refills. It's cheap, it works, and I'm not locked in to a contract.
I've never seen anyone cheer when a rocket blows up. Rockets can be replaced. Payloads are usually the result of years of hard work by many people you've never heard of.
There is a certain amount of black humor about launch failures. Early in the Ariane program, I suggested that ESA could save a lot of money by just dumping the spacecraft in the ocean, cutting out the expensive rocket part. I've never understood why people keep putting irreplaceable spacecraft on the first flights of unproven launch vehicles. It's much better to launch ballast and an instrument package, switching to real payloads after the bugs are worked out.
They didn't load it by mistake. They intentionally reused large parts of the Ariane-3 flight software to save money. The problem was that it wasn't adequately tested to make sure that it worked correctly with the Ariane-4 flight profile. This resulted in an overflow error during the flight, crashing the guidance computers. The flight was terminated after the guidance system failed.
The Congress could eliminate all copyrights and patents today if they wished to do so. The Constitution gives them the power to grant copyrights and patents, it does not obligate them to do so.
Maybe because many of us have learned that when Microsoft does you a favor, you better count the silverware. Past experience has shown me that they will not hesitate to screw their customers when they think it is in their financial or strategic interest to do so.
The Shuttle has two software loads, the primary flight system, written by IBM, and the backup flight system, written by Rockwell. The primary flight system is loaded into a set of four redundant cross-checking computers, and the backup flight system is loaded into a single computer. The orbiter switches to the backup flight system if there is a common mode failure in the primary flight system.
Some countries have policies designed to force older cars off the road and encourage the purchase of new cars. They can increase taxes on older cars and require stringent "safety" inspections.

South Korea is a major CDMA market.

Why did the marketer demand the source code?
Everyone knew that the Earth was the center of the universe.
Weren't there large marsupial cats in Australia that went extinct?
To give the crocs a free meal and recycle the carcass.
C is the speed of light in a vacuum. It's a constant.

If I said the Arpanet was resistant to attack by purple people eaters, would that imply that it was designed to resist attack by purple people eaters?

I'm going to drop a tactical nuke on the next person who tries to spread this meme.
It certainly sounds more cost-effective than buying a high-end switch or router with rate shaping.
I thought it was a major leap forward for its time.

Federal copyright law only puts the works of employees of the federal government (not contractors) in the public domain.
I've seen proper case and fan/filter designs on industrial rack-mount PCs. They aren't cheap.

You can also make big bucks selling crack to children.
Not to mention that they are full of ammonium chloride, not sodium chloride.
