The Shuttle is not "state of the art", it IS the art.
Unless some government has something we do not know about, the Shuttle is the ONLY craft on the planet, that can do everything it does.
Also, I am tired of all this whining. Space travel is still a VERY DANGEROUS undertaking, the people who do it know the risks, and are willing to take them.
Future space craft should use more modular design approaches, have a look what the Russians are doing. You put the best you have right now in the slot, and when and if something better comes along, you replace it with that.
Speaking of Hotmail, and I dunno if EVERYBODY already knew this....but, when you include a URL in an email to a hotmail recipient, when you open it, Hotmail/MSN, "rewrites" the URL such that it is first forwarded to a machine on the MSN network, presumably recorded, and then forwarded to the original destination.
More collection of information...........Big brother is coming.....Run for your lives.......

Man, all of this open discussion is making me really ANGRY......
If the cold war were still underway, NASA would have had all the funding they needed to have safer trips to begin with.
Perhaps if he had obtained one of these: http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/toys/71bc/ He would not have been burgled/burglarized at all
I believe that is what I was getting at:

Hey!
We don't answer homework questions here.

Being from CO., I can state without hesitation, that these people are better off WITHOUT the computers they have no clue how to use anyway.
Exactly, the reason SCO wants to see IBMs source is so they can actually put some new technology into their antiquated OS.
I JUST took down a Dell PII/400 running linux that had been running my firewall/sendmail for about 5 years.
The uptime upon takedown was 976 days. It would have been longer, but I inadvertently hit the off button on the UPS once.
When I opened it up, you could have made a sofa out of all the dust bunnies inside, the fan on the video card was toast.
But through the power of linux, this was a durable, reliable machine.
It has been thouroughly cleaned, and placed back into service as a test DNS server.
That'll be $699.00 please........
Which they will undoubtably compute on a beowulf linux cluster
Careful man, you might have to pay IP fees
