You missed the point. Challenger happened because it was more important to stick to the schedule than listen to the engineers. Where the fuck do you think beaurocraps have changed? They make decisions based on PR and budget and have ignored people who know what they are doing for years. Why was today different?
The sad thing is, when the investigation is over it will turn out to be a stupid decision by a NASA chief, just like Challenger. If there was left wing damage, park it at the space station until another can go uo to take parts for repair or just to pick up the crew. It shouldn't be that big of a deal. Of course NASA group think won't allow planning for intelligent alternatives to catastrophy. Now they get the budget boost to fix things. Hell of a way to do business.
Jack Schmitt is on of the good guys. I first met him in Washinton, DC in February 1980. I stopped off to see if anything could be done about the pitiful state of military pay, I had just left the Navy. Since Jack was a rookie Senator from New Mexico, (my home state at the time) and was on the Armed services comitee. I went to his office. Bottom line, no appointment, an honest 40 min. of face time. An 11.5 % pay raise in October, and he got a campaign worker for 82. We lost, which really sucks. Jack was not only the lone scientist to walk on the moon but the only civilian. Never in the military at all. I've seen him twice in the last 20 years and he is still a friendly and interesting man. One of the good guys for sure.
Pop-up stopper is wonderful and I have had it for four months. Wouldn't log on without it. It might be better to take a more proactive stance. How about a script attached to an advertisers 'cookie' that causes the server drives to re-format? Or one to cause a bios flash. Change the voltages, I wonder what a P4 would look like with 12 volt running through it? Is this possible? Probably. Legal? Not a chance. Fun? Hell yes. Worth it? Hummm, maybe.
I am running a dual boot system at home. Win xp and Red Hat 7.2. I use Windows less each month. More for games than anything else. I have switched my finances to GNU Cash and like it better than Quicken. Now if someone will develop a Linux version of Turbo Tax I'll never have another piece of important info on Windows. I use Koffice now and in Win xp use Lotus Smartsuite, never owned or used MS office. I do have one of Loki's Quake 3s on linux and love it. Is anyone porting Medal of Honor?
I just upgraded to a K6-2 400 from a P233mmx. I know and agree with what your saying. Now if there was a 2GHZ Front side Buss and a hard drive that could keep up???? I have played on an AMD 1800 with 2 GB of ram a pair of 40Gig harddrives, striping ide array, G4 w/128MB of DDR. I had to max the resolution to slow it down in Unreal Tournament, just to live longer than 10 seconds. The first time I ever thought a machine was fast enough. But who can afford it?
Its a question of balance. The plastic is obviously of unequal density around the platter. This creates a harmonic vibration. Check all your cds for cracks starting at the center and radiating out. Make a copy of any cracked ones and retire them before they come apart. Or manufacturers could balance them before shipping.
Contrary to what the media has portrayed for 30 years, the Pentagon has some very smart people. At least those in Uniform. Perhaps the problem is that the military like NSA has gotten tired of 3 U software, (unstable, unreliable and most important, unsecure). Has MS ever done anything right on the first four tries? After all what is Win XP but Win 95 seven years late.
Actually, if you go to Dell's website in the business section, you can order a Linux box. Just in business not for home. At least they sell one.
I saw the eXPerimental beta 3 weeks ago. A friend was loading it. Three others tried it and it seemed ok, Win 95 is finally here, just 7 years late. I sat down and opened one app. Locked that sucker up. Never met a Microsoft product I couldn't crash. One guy says it's my Linux aura. Hope so.
I noticed her name and I thought she was wrong in High School too. I'm so glad I left the Land of Minimum Rage 4 years ago. There are no Intelligent Politicians in NM and the AG is just another politician.
A trully appropriate response will take another week. Time for a full SEAL platoon or two to arrive. Then we just take our people and blow up the plane. End of story.
Nice thought. I wonder if I'm the only one who remembers this same cry from RIAA 30 years ago. They said a new technology would destroy the recording industry. Of course recording a song from the radio on this new cassette tape just never seemed to sound like a store bought tape, but the arguments were damn near identical. No judge fell for their line of crap then, but the country had some people in responsible positions with spines.
Since the states are responsible for running elections, and they pass it off to the counties and municipalities, why is anyone using something as stone age as apaper ballot? Heard on CNN that the county officials who designed and approved that ballot are Democrats. So they really have no complaint! But they will find a way to take it from Bush, by hook or crook. My money is on the crook.
It sounds like a version of the Gertrude, a low powered sonar that is used as an underwater telephone at ranges less than 2 miles. That is way too much noise. Submarines do the best imitation of a hole in the ocean, anything that compromises this is very bad. Radio is encoded and translated to morse then recorded on a very high speed tape and transmitted at speed. All anyone hears is a chirp not much longer than a finger snap, and thats for 10 or so lines of text, a long message. Former MM2(SS) SSN 679
How about a comment on the article. As a former member of several auto racing teams, If you want me to advertise your product, how much are you willing to pay me. I have not bought a ball cap in 15 years, salesmen give them to me (about 50 on hand now). You want me to wear your logo, don't expect me to pay for it. These people can write off give aways as advertising expence. why pay for a logo product, unless your dumb.

All you have to do is remember that ACLU stands for Asinine Constipated Liberals Union.
