About 125 seconds after launch and at an altitude of about 150,000 feet, the SRB's burn out and are jettisoned from the ET. The jettison command originates from the Orbiter, and jettison occurs when the forward and aft attach points between the SRB's and ET are blown by explosive charges
I hope you realize that if you walk away after entering your master password, getting your passwords is just a short javascript away. You can try it yourself:
1) Go to a site for which you have a saved password 2) If prompted for your master password, enter it. 3) Run this javascript (e.g. make it a bookmarklet by prepending "javascript:", or use a Javascript shell):
However, in my opinion is isn't quite fair to compare liquid-fueled (RP-1 and LOX) Soyuz rocket to the solid-fueled Ares. You're dealing with much more energy in solid-fuel catastrophic scenario.
However when looking at the video there is the posibilty they get other elements of the escape capsule on their head after a succesful landing.
I know this is/., but try RTFA:
Because the MLAS flight test vehicle was not optimized for weight and parachute performance, there may be recontact between the elements of the test vehicle after the parachutes are fully deployed and after all the required data is collected. If recontact does occur it will not affect the MLAS test objectives, nor will it apply to Orion -- as the MLAS design and hardware are not representative of the current Orion design.
If they need a NASA badge, then they are subject to the same security check.
Whether they need a NASA badge depends on a bunch of factors, among them: 1) Frequency of center access -- if they work off-site 99% of the time then they probably don't need a badge). Conversely, if they work on site frequently, then they need a badge 2) Need for network access to NASA resources -- Some of the more secure ones require a NASA identity (in the NASA directory), but not necessarily a badge. At some point the badge will be a "smart" card you will need to insert in order to access network resources.

my instructions for fixing the wiki were... on the wiki
On my wiki (foswiki), I use a plugin to generate static HTML for every wiki page. I run a cron job every few hours to kick it off. I then rsync it over to another web server, just in case. For even more redundancy, there's always backups!
The static HTML isn't as pretty as the foswiki-generated pages, but at least it's readable in an emergency.
The most interesting thing I got out of the linked commentary was that the patch doesn't seem to fix the vulnerabilities by changing how Powerpoint processes the data in Powerpoint 4 (PP4) format files.
Instead, it simply disables support for the PP4 format. Additionally, you can re-enable support for PP4-format files by editing the registry -- potentially re-introducing security vulnerabilities onto a system you may have thought was patched.
This is a myth about government contracts. While cost is of course a major factor in government bids, they are also required to take into account factors like service, company reputation, and proven technical ability to do the job at the cost quoted.
Of course, there is also the good-ole boy factor...
I was under the impression that you could send WOL packets to the broadcast address of the subnet you want. These kind of packets would be routable because the routers in between don't care.
Every time I see a story mentioning Steam, I'm reminded how my Verizon-provided Actiontec router can't handle the Steam server browser. My only option appears to be to replace the provided router with my own.
I haven't tried fighting with Verizon about how their router sucks. I guess I have the feeling they're not going to do anything about it no matter what I do.
As Already pointed out, this is a strategy the "bad guys" are using to distribute malware more effectively. They have managed to exploit Google's page rankings to elevate their malware distribution pages to the top results for currently popular search terms. I experienced this recently through one of my users -- they had searched Google for new regarding the asteroid that passed close to Earth recently.
The exploit sites seem to be harmless if your browser is even remotely secure. For example, a patched IE7 with FDCC configuration is OK until you click something, at which point you get prompted to run/save "install.exe" or whatever they are pushing.
I was scared to test IE7 with the default config.:-/
Firefox with NoScript turns their pages into very boring text with links that go nowhere.

the MS KB article talks about using Group Policy to change a single setting
After reading the MS KB article, I'm not quite sure what needs to be done on Windows XP clients. It seems that the update the article was not automatically installed by AutoUpdate for XP, only for Vista and Server 2008.
You can use Group Policy, but I'm not clear whether you need to install the update only on the AD controller, or if you need it on the clients as well...
Yes, I was pleased to hear him say: We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers.
But then he said: This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.
And, in the final sentence: Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.
I'll take my hope without a side of religion, please.

From this "Fact Sheet":
About 125 seconds after launch and at an altitude of about 150,000 feet, the SRB's burn out and are jettisoned from the ET. The jettison command originates from the Orbiter, and jettison occurs when the forward and aft attach points between the SRB's and ET are blown by explosive charges
The external tank reentry is about 80 minutes after launch. It takes 8.5 minutes to empty the tank; so reentry is ~71 minutes after separation.
You can find some images of the reentry with Google

If you can set it up beforehand, use UltraVNC single-click.
If you haven't had time to do the setup, point your friend or family member to http://www.zolved.com/rc. They provide a simple exe to download.
The software is basically UltraVNC, but using Zolved servers as a proxy. (yes, this means you have to trust Zolved.com not to spy on you.)
Maybe.. just maybe .. he wants to do it without installing Outlook.
Is this a joke? The game wasn't that hard.

In the special case where you:
- have an Nvidia card
- don't mind using Nvidia's closed-source drivers
Then setting up dual, hardware-accelerated screens on Linux is also trivially easy -- just run nvidia-settings.
I hope you realize that if you walk away after entering your master password, getting your passwords is just a short javascript away. You can try it yourself:
1) Go to a site for which you have a saved password
2) If prompted for your master password, enter it.
3) Run this javascript (e.g. make it a bookmarklet by prepending "javascript:", or use a Javascript shell):
Look! There's your password in plain-text!
Use the extension Master Password Timeout to re-lock your passwords after a timeout (or you can lock it manually by selecting a menu option).
Truly impressive. For the curious, here is a good write-up of the 1975 incident. The 1985 incident is described briefly on Wikipedia.

Why should it be in the summary? It's in the first paragraph of the article.
Oh, wait, this is /.
Well that's new.. I remember looking at FirefoxADM a year or so ago and I discounted it because it didn't do certs.
Now, what about Mac and Linux clients? :-P
Bookmarks? wheeeee...
What I really want is a way to distribute my organization's SSL CAs!

what do you mean "group policy file"? Did you deploy via script or ADM file or what?
Share :)
I tried making a quick ADM file based on some ADMs I found here:
http://blog.stealthpuppy.com/deployment/deploying-adobe-reader-9-for-windows
But apparently I didn't do it correctly, because JS was still on after I applied my setting.
I heard the front fell off!
