They gave a deadline for when they would stop replacing boards. Then they replaced the boards with the same parts that hadn't failed yet. They gave the replacement defective parts a very short warranty period.
Could cpu and ram be added to a docking station as a payoff for bringing the laptop into the office? That is, cpu and ram that could share the laptop's operating system.
(Sorry for being such a fanboy), but thanks, camperdave. I have always loved the -11 km perigree! I think that you forgot about the (what was it?) ~45 minute battery life (or was it less?) while the capsule was bobbing around at sea. That was a classic!
Ares I was sold as a cheap, reliable way to get into low Earth orbit--only two engines: a cheap five-segment RSRM-V (which, by the way is incompatible with the 5.5 - 6.5-segment engine that Ares-V would require). And a J-2X engine that might be compatible with the Ares V J-2X, but on a completely incompatible second stage! It sure costs a lot to be cheap.
I'm no expert, but reading between the lines on the External Tank (ET) modifications in the original National Launch System (NLS) proposal of the early 1990s: the idea is that the modified ET is put together from a lot of individual panels. If each panel were made a bit thicker (easy to program on a milling machine), you could have a non-optimised ET that is good-enough (tm) for inline use. It's not like they are putting the ET in a big lathe and cutting off 0.030" This may be obvious to others, but it wasn't to me.
Notably, the NLS passed its Preliminary Design Review (PDR), there is only one core stage, and it takes all the good parts from Shuttle and gets rid of the heavy, fragile, complex, labor-intensive part--the Shuttle Orbiter. Ares I kinda sorta passed its PDR (see link below) and the diameter and number of engines for Ares V haven't even been decided on yet. So, DIRECT might have some technical brick walls, but if they can launch it with a giant lawn dart hanging off the side, inline should be doable.
Oh, Ares I's PDR? Read this jewel of sexually-charged confidence-inspiring beauty!!
Some information on SSME production from the beginning of the year. I recall mention on the same forum that not too many years ago, three engines were produced, supposedly nearly from scratch.
Reading between the rumours, restarting SSME production would not be the proverbial long tent-pole in a Shuttle-derived launch vehicle program.
If a professor spends a lifetime finding illustrative material, why should he put it up online? If he did, why would next year's class need the professor?
That made a lot of sense to me when offered as a reason for not offering hard copies of lecture material.

Or you could type a few words into a paragraph that told the basics of the story. If you did this on a systematic basis, you would have to think of a word for a paragraph that summarized a longer story; maybe, a summarization?

Give a fish a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a fish to fish, you have invented the shark.
Yeah, it's hard to take the Ancient Greeks seriously, too. They should have just shut the hell up until they got it right.

Chaney played Dracula. I think you want Cheney, who has been accused of sucking blood.
Plame drove every morning to CIA headquarters at 1 I'm a Spook Drive. I'm sure it never crossed anyone's mind that she might once have been an agent.
We tried everything we could think of to protect you, babe, but your cover has been blown.

DIRECT is dead when they dismantle Shuttle. Even with the foot-dragging, that day is perilously near. The decision has to be made now.
I would think that with Florida now a tar pit, that keeping some sort of heavy industry there would be a political priority, but what do I know?
That's where all the Kennedy Assassination records were stored!
I seem not to understand.

Not everyone can bother write a textbook, either.
Oh, BEE-have!

I think the headline on that article was about American Idol, but I'm not sure, as I didn't read the article.
Thank you, AC! You made me smile.
You mean the pricepoint on sounding like a douchebag is $0.00?

I imagine someone probably said, Capitalism is the worst economic system there is, except for all the others.
I think Apollo post-Kennedy was a case of do something bad-ass by 1970 as long as a lot of it takes place in Texas.
Reminds me in some ways of the Superconducting Super Collider.
