  1. Microsoft has always focused on development tools on Microsoft Needs a Catch-Up Artist · · Score: 4, Insightful

  8. Gravity pulls toward the Earth on The Grasshopper Can Fly Sideways · · Score: 1

    And a rocket's motor is at the back. Of course it is going to point down to counteract. No matter which way you point the rocket, the motor must point mostly down.

    It was voted one of the funniest moments on TV. I forget by what group. BTW, I am old enough, and I did see the original. Almost died laughing. Of course, I watch the show for Loni Anderson.

    They are too large to fly. They are bred for breast meat, and are too heavy for their wings to carry them.

  20. Re:"Revolutionary" on Navy Version of Expedia Could Save DoD Millions · · Score: 1

    The DOD is a very large organization. In the business world, 20 companies may make a product like this, and try to get people to use it. 18 will fail, 1 succeed, and 1 merely survive. In the DOD, someone comes up with a really neat idea, and creates a wonderful product. They go to standardize the use of it, and discover that there are entire parts of the DOD they never heard of, who already have a system, and do things completely differently. It is very hard to discover the entire scope of problems like this.

  24. Nice shots on Watch the Crab Nebula Expand Over a 13 Year Period · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The newer one picks up more of the blue, so it looks larger. If you watch the red, it is definitely moving outward. Will have to use this the next time I teach about nebula.
