Example: Airbus' fly-by-wire system, designed to override a pilot when a dangerous decision was made, erroniously concluded a forest was a runway after a very low pass was made over it. Deciding the speed was too high, it cut the engines. Both pilots and something like 18 journalists were killed. Airbus blamed the pilots - a safe decision as the pilots couldn't answer back, being dead and all, and the only one they could have made. Blaming the computer could have put them out of business.
That would be a good story if you hadn't made it up. The pilot had slowed to near stalling speed and realised too late he didn't have enough high t to clear the trees, he pulled back hard on the stick and went down into the trees. The computer didn't change the outcome one bit.
Yes that was something new to see, in the past you always had to pretty much assume that it happened.
For some reason I thought the camera was on the orbiter rather than the tank, so it was weird watching the orbiter fly away from the camera. Cool though.
The sensor is an entirely separate system to any valve. It is a backup in case both a) there's a fuel leak and b) the main fuel level sensors give a false high reading, then there are 4 of these empt y sensors, only one of which showed strange behavior on the previous attempt and none in the hours leading up to todays launch.
The wiring to the 4 sensors was replaced to see if the problem re-occured. They were able to tell as soon as they started fueling that the sensors were giving the proper readings. All 4 sensors passed the "simulated empty" test during countdown which is where the problem appeared last time.
Fur markings vary dramatically in domesticated cats, however that doesn't make them diferent species. Even cloned domestic cats have shown very different markings to their sibling (wonder what the correct word for the original that is cloned is).
Probably because publishing 10010100101001010100101001010100101010101001.... isn't going to help you a whole lot without knowledge of where you are in the data stream, what instrument is telling you that etc.
The validation, documentation & preliminary analysis steps are all about taking the raw data stream and making it into a useful set of values.
You can sue somebody for inducing another to break their contract with you... tortious interference in a contract is what they call it.
I don't think the non-compete for the janitor would hold up in court because it's not like a janitor is going to represent a competition issue for intel anyway.
Typiccally these agreements exist to protect one or more of the following: a) brand recognition (particularly in TV & radio) b) specialised knowledge about the products, business or customers. c) training investment in employees.
"...the contract states that you are not allowed by law..."
That would be not allowed by contract. MS doesn't write law yet.
Non-Compete clauses have to be reasonable in scope, generally that means:
a) A limited geographical area b) A Limited amount of time (usually less than 1 year) c) A narrow range of jobs (usually something directly related to your current job)
This agreement seems to fall foul of at least the first of these requirements.
Al Qaeda and the Baathists have nothing in common, one is dedicated to establishing an fundamentalist islamic state, the other is opposed to religion being a state matter at all.
Orange and vanilla are the main flavorings in coke... maybe some lemon... makes you wonder what's different about vanilla coke ? (probably more vanilla) Coke is the worlds largest buyer of vanilla.
MONTH - Old English. "In ancient times the passing of time was recorded by noting the revolutions of the moon. Consequently prehistoric Indo-European had a single word, 'menes-, which denoted both 'moon' and 'month.' The Romances languages retain it only for 'month'" Latin 'mensis' (source of English 'menstrual') has given French 'nois,' Italian 'mese,' and Spanish 'mes.' The Germanic languages, however, have kept both, distinguishing them by different forms. In the case of 'month,' the Germanic word was 'maenoth,' which has differentiated into German 'monat,' Dutch 'maand,' Swedish 'manad,' Danish 'maaned,' and English 'month.'" From "Dictionary of Word Origins: the Histories of More Than 8,000 English-Language Words" by John Ayto (Arcade Publishing, New York, 1990). Page 353.
I imagine it has something to do with pumping supercooled liquids into a hot combustion chamber... but I could be wrong.
The first test of the sensor will be during detanking... if it correctly shows a low fuel condition during unloading of the fuel then they know it's working.
I don't think the french have a monopoly on bureaucracy. Take a look at the paperwork requirements to make a commercial space flight from the US and then consider that you as a US citizen are prohibited from launching from another country to dodge said paperwork requirement.

That was Columbia ... Chalenger was the one with the SRB failure causing fuel tank rupture.
Sounds like Duck tape .... or as nasa uses 3M product Duct Tape.

Only give work to EDS if you want it screwed up and horrendously over budget.

It's true ... they even have a topless woman on the money.
No court will enforce one that bars you from working anywhere in the world.

It's essentially liquid sugar.
So is fruit juice.

You got some of that backwards :

There is a separate space launch authority with jurisdiction above 100,000 feet too. The FAA only controls airspace up to that level.
The press conference @4.30pm eastern time said this Saturday at the earliest.
How do you know which ones are working in order to ignore the others ?
They'd already been given the ok from the weather team before the crew boarded.

And French toast was invented by a Mr French (like the mustard) rather than THE French (the people)
I was wondering the same thing, it's a bit like saying we need to occupy the geostationary orbit in order to maintain our advantage in communications.
