yea, I feel your pain, We have the same problem... No pay for on call, just the shaft... That's what sucks about salary, oh well. I think in the times to come more and more IS people will become paid slaves to the corporation. Never a truly free moment.

If need be I'll daisy chain as many low capacity drives together to do what I need. next they'll be putting copy protection on legal pads! That is absolutely Bulls!@t!
What is the probability that someone could have hacked into MIR and retasked the thing to do something funky, maybe come down on the 4th of july, oooh that would really piss the old time soviets off... (using a symbol of pride for a corrupt government as a display of celebration for their adversary...) given of course a small sattelite tranciever. The security implemented back then couldn't have been that sophisticated...
The possibilities are endless...

HEY!!!!! ok, I'm gonna spout some flames here...
think about how much fuel it would take to move mir out of earth's gravitational pull. I think that would take at least as much fuel to make it budge than it took to put it up there in the first place!! Additionally, the thrusters on board aren't made for the sort of thrust necessary! Second: The thing is by no means going to stay together when you strap a huge booster to the side and light the candle!! It would fly into a million pieces, leaving much more probability of a module skipping through some unlucky sap's office building somewhere...
Let's launch a nuke at the moon to give a show of force. (great ideas like these are going to be our demise...)

Is anyone else annoyed by people putting constant noise on their websites. I don't mind the occasional beep, or click, but music pisses me off!!

To make it even better, I'll give you the Universal Transverse Mercator Grid coordinate:
J9 8524 that takes it down to 1000 feet...

Welcome to 1984 ladies and gentlemen, where your every move is monitored by Amazon.com, not me!! I'll spend the extra buck to go to Barnes and Noble, they don't sell all your account info to the highest bidder.. ie (name,credit report, purchases since beginning of time, etc etc...)

F***** that!! and them too.. I will NOT sponsor some large company blazing around, treating their customers like crap. no thanks!!
