Cargo gets returned on every flight. For example, here are the most recent missions which had significant items that you just can't let burn up.
STS-114: MPLM, only have two of these, have been used several times by the shuttle.
STS-107: SPACEHAB, science module for the Columbia cargo bay.
STS-111: MPLM
STS-108: MPLM
STS-105: MPLM
STS-100: MPLM
STS-102: MPLM
STS-106: SPACEHAB
STS-99: SRTM
STS-96: SPACEHAB
That right there is 10 out of the last 21 flights in 6 years where a major item has been returned (and flown again) on a shuttle, except of course for the SPACEHAB lost on STS-107.
This doesn't even include the robot arm which is housed in the cargo bay. We wouldn't be able to build the ISS without the shuttle arm.
The shuttle docking ring and airlock are also in the cargo bay. Very hard to do anything, like fix Hubble, let alone build a station, without an airlock.
Don't throw away that very huge cargo bay too fast.
CNN cancelled CrossFire a few months ago after Jon Stewart pointed out to them that a couple of guys yelling at each other non-stop about one subject for five minutes != a debate show, as they bill it.
Yet hear we are, months later, and CrossFire is still on.
I really like it when Bob Novak starts getting pissed at James Carville for continuously interrupting the Red Party guests and starts dinging that little service bell, which in turn no one listens to, and he finally has to start yelling himself and try to talk over the guests and Carville to get them into commercial break.
And why does Carville now sit there saying "Uh huh, yeah, okay, right, okay, uh huh, yeah, yeah" the entire time the guests is talking (when he is not interrupting/responding to them). He only started doing that in the last few months. What's up with that?
I have been using Request Tracker for a while now and I love it, and so does my support staff and customers. It is very robust and flexible. I use Apache with mod_perl, SSL and a MySQL database, and sendmail for the mail interface. You might hit a few bumps during setup, but you should be able to work through them. There are a lot of good docs out there which walk you through the entire setup. If you haven't looked at it you should. Everything is free except the hardware and time. They also have RTFM (RT FAQ Manager) which is an addon to RT and can help you manage company wide knowledge.
If you need a serious customer support email + web based issue/ticket tracking and management system then you need to check out Request Tracker.

My friend and I got new workstations two years ago with MS XP Pro. When I set his up he didn't like the new Start menu design and layout, so I switched it to the classic Windows 95/2000 style. I left mine on the new style because it seemed to work for me.
Two years later we were at my desk talking when he saw me go to my Start menu and open something. He wanted to know how I got this "new" Start menu layout. He switched back to the new style that day.
Now as for Fedora Core 2 and 2.6, everything works fine for me. My dedicated BF:V server dies after 4 hours, but that also happened with Fedora 1, Gentoo 2004.1, and Windows XP.
Intel has a lot of bases around Oregon, allow me to help out a little:
Alderwood is the name of a street in Portland, if you've ever had to go the FedEx location at the airport, you've been on Alderwood and Cornfoot.
Foster is also a street in Portland. The topless bar at 92nd and Foster is quite the hole.
Tualain is also a burb of Portland, on the west side, which is where all of the Intel locations are. Large numbers of Intelers probably reside here.
Yamhill is also a county in Oregon, very near where most of the Intel locations are (I think all are in Washington county). Lots of wine grapes are made in Yamhill.
Prescott is also a street in Portland.
Cascades is of course a reference to the cascade range of rock piles, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and the Three Sisters being a few of the bigger name mounts in the range.
Your name is Burns210 (half of 420) but somehow I believe you haven't seen enough simpsons.
If the U.S. were a true democracy there might be a chance at such things. But the U.S. is a republic, one nation under god since 1954. That means you elect rich white dudes to make bad non-costeffective bills into law.

It could easily cost at least one trillion dollars over the next 20+ years to get humans to Mars. Look at how much the U.S. thought it would cost originally to get to the Moon, $10-20 billion. And you know they spent way more than that actually doing it. $20+ billion to get the Moon 30+ years ago can easily translate to $1+ trillion to get to Mars in the next 20 years.
You also must consider all of the technologies that were gained and/or improved during the race to the Moon. Computers, communications and fuel cells is just the very short list. What do you think one trillion dollars can get us this time around? Perhaps IPv6 deployment.
On the same figure check out the last stage of the "flow". It goes straight from "Run Time" to "After Life" with a question mark. The entire diagram is spent on the boot phase of this new system.. Who cares/knows how it all turns off.:-)
Once this has pedestrians and normal city traffic my friends and I will have hours of fun killing each other (I understand they are having a sync problem because of the random method in which traffic appears in GTA:VC). But something tells me that you'll only be able to play this on a local network because of bandwidth and latency issues.
I know it was almost eight months after Apollo 16, but I think Gene Cernan, Ron Evans and Harrison Schmitt were not sitting on their thumbs for Apollo 17. At least I hope they weren't.
My friend was just released from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a Bof Fine Arts in Graphics Design.
So somebody thinks Flash is a fine art... Not me..:-)

Why is everyone saying Kentucky?
It is Portland, Oregon. Matt has made that very clear over the years.
His address was 742 SW Evergreen Terrace when he was growing up in Portland.
Check the Wikipedia entry.
You're thinking of Superman 3, not 2.

Never thought I'd get in so easily!
I need to second the AC parent post.

150 / 1500 = 10
100? What version of math are you using?
Let's not forget that expansion two of Star Wars Galaxies is going live tomorrow*.
Right on top of that Combat Update everyone loves.
* Tomorrow might be today where you are right now, realtive to me.

But too bad they won't be airing it on my local PBS outlet.
"This program is not airing on this channel during the next two weeks"
Dang, oh well... Back to simply playing video games instead of watching TV about the history of playing video games.

When da hell iz dat fuckin' Ali G going to make some new episodes?

The prick of a kid is the light.
The sister is channeling her power through Justin.
The old blind man wants the kid to heal him.
5 episodes left in the mini-series.

The original article says the price of a VeriSign SSL cert is $349 USD.
I think it should be noted that according to VeriSign pricing the $349 is only for a 40-bit cert. The 128-bit cert is now $895 USD.
