How about this paragraph at the end: Indeed, SCO says the company's biggest investor, BayStar Capital, has been pushing SCO to drop its Unix business altogether and simply become a litigation machine, bringing intellectual property-related lawsuits. But SCO insists it remains committed to selling Unix software--when it's not busy fighting people in court.
NASA is obviously scared to death of another Challenger / Columbia tragedy. They came out looking totally inept in both of those incidents. I believe they fear they would lose all support from the public and (arguably more important) congress if more astronauts are lost. I'm not saying that is the right attitude. It's kind of like saying "I'm afraid of being killed in an automobile accident, so I am going to stop driving."
In your second method, don't they also look at red shift? I believe the amount of red shift (compared to the expected spectrum you mention) indicates distance. The further away, the greater the red shift.
the founders of Google have "admitted" that they misspelled googol when coming up with the name. They said in TV interviews "We didn't have the spell checker working back then." However, it seems to me googol should be in the public domain, and Google has taken on a life of its own that has nothing to do with the definition of a googol.
Hope it will work for "boom cars"

But I doubt the car owners would want it. Why have a loud sound system in a car if the whole world can't hear (and know about) it.
the memo is kind of funny. It reads like a political commercial. All spin and no real substance. You can't take anything he says literally, folks. He is just using terms to spin things the way he wants to.
Guess you haven't seen the media coverage of Google's office environment??? I don't think it matters what people do for a living, they just want to be able to enjoy doing it. A little office diversion is invariably good for morale. What do you think "Casual Fridays" is really all about?
We developed a web-based application that used Excel to format invoices for the clients. No computation was done by Excel. That was all done by the business logic using data stored in a real database. Excel was used entirely for its formatting capabilities. The really nice thing was, each customer could specify, through an administrative form, how they wanted things laid out (what data goes into which cell, where to display the company logo). When they wanted to print an invoice, they just clicked on an image button, Excel popped up with all the data filled in, and they could modify and print from there. The customers really liked it. As others have stated, it was something they were familiar with.
I wrote a few "command line" interfaces using character graphics. Really just displayed a numbered menu of options and a prompt. You entered the number of the option you wanted. Kind of like those telephone help systems you love to hate.

Microsoft could create a specialized version of its widely praised programming tools
Which ones are those??? Who the heck is "widely"???

I'm not an astronomer, but I pretend to be one.

This may be more insightful than funny. I believe the real reason the Hubble is being abandoned is that it regularly challenges some folks' beliefs.
