It's a minor problem, which ordinarily would have gone unnoticed. It's probably happened many times before. NASA is just being paranoid because they can't afford another accident. Alternative theory, NASA wanted to find something wrong that isn't really a danger and prove they can fix it, and that there is no danger anymore in space travel.
The space shuttle is 30 year old technology and has long outlived it's design life. The problem isn't so much in the design, it was successful. The real problem is that we aren't going to have anything to replace it with for quite some time.
That said, we should keep reusing the space shuttles untill we run out of either shuttles of astronauts willing to fly on them.
"Damage" to the space shuttle is common. Heat tiles are frequently found to be missing when the shuttle lands. Small minor damage is not uncommon. What brought down columbia was more a case of a golden bb than anything else. (Plus it was a heavy object traveling quite fast)
That said, space is a pretty easy environment to survive in. It's the part where you're burning a few thousand tons of explosives, and slowing down from 20,000mph using the atmosphere that are the dangerous parts.
The damage that occured to the space shuttle here is trivial.
Putting the print head in the cartridges has always seemed to be just a financial thing. It makes it harder to produce 3rd party cartridges, which allows the printer manufacturers to make more money selling thier overpriced OEM cartridges.
portscans use minimal bandwidth, enough that even a modem can be portscanned without a major slowdown. If you're getting enough traffic to shut down your network, but not enough that comcast would notice it, this so-callled "portscan" is likely not the cause of your problems.
You put the mp3's on there in whatever directory structure you like, put the small python script in the root, and then run it whenever you're done adding/removing mp3s.
Some of these are stretches though, like one i saw saying "In.... it's illegal to throw a computer at someone across the street.". The actual law forbids throwing projectiles across streets, which is rather more sensible and understandable.
Many of these 'ridiculous laws' are simply a somewhat reasonable, but generalized law, with a ridiculous example of a way to break it.
I don't know the actual law but, say the law is "Atlanta makes it against the law to tie an animal to a telephone pole or street lamp." Yes it makes it illegal to tie up a giraffe, it doesn't mean the law is as crazy as the example.
Two- or three-floor versions are currently available, and the company is now developing a four-floor system and another that can accommodate a wheelchair.
Maybe I'm missing your point but How would any kind of abort system have saved EITHER space shuttle? These aren't boosters that start burning on the pad, there was no way to know that an abort was even needed before it was too late.
SOMEWHERE in the bureaucracy is a document covering every imaginable possibility. That an event was predicted by a document in no way means anyone had any idea it was coming.
Whenever anything happens, you can always find SOMEONE who predicted it, that doesn't mean they knew it was coming. It just makes it easy to pick the signal out of the noise when you know what you're looking for.
Bittorrent is the same thing legally as downloading a file from the WWW, or hosting the same file on your machine for others to download. It is not on shakey legal ground like the p2p search services.
BT sees an awful lot of use in totally legitimate applications. Anyone play world of warcraft recently? Blizzards patcher uses bittorrent. This is far from the smaller niche uses (i.e. Linux distros) often cited.
So if theres any shakey legal ground on the mere use of bittorrent, someone should tell blizzard.

I'd bid on it.

There is a python script for the shuffle allowing just that...

Don't forget the dead gyros!
Mir was functioning better than this in the last few years of its life. and ISS isnt even done being built yet?

Wheelchair support coming in a future patch!

Space travel is dangerous.
The space shuttle is dangerous.
Any trouble finding qualified volunteers? None.
Nuff said.
nobody READS the articles, /.'d sites are the ones that have pictures/videos or large downloads.

Are you on crack? Or just on a low-population server?
Some of the servers have been dying nightly like clockwork on a daily basis for weeks now. The patch only made things much much worse.
I can't actually think of an mmog launch that has gone as amazingly badly as this, even SWG pulled thier shit together faster than this.
And yea, i'm playing it anyways.
And the lack of alpha channel support is no reason to use gif over png, because the gif format doesn't even have alpha support.
Am I the only one who finds the wikipedia page more usefull than a list of google-spammed sites?
Good information, links to popular sites to actually play, the kind of thing you're actually LOOKING FOR when you started that search.
