No, you're one of the people frenzied by the media hype. There have been over the 114 flights so far, there have been 15,000 recorded instances of foam falling off the tank. Virtually every shuttle flight has returned with nicks and chips in their tiles.
Of course, you're too busy trolling and shoving your head up your ass to bother to look at facts. Anyhow, I'm done feeding your trolls.
The valve would fail if three of the four sensors failed, not if one of them failed. The sensor is no more a part of the valve than your eyes are a part of your penis becasue you look at when you're standing over the bowl and decide to start peeing.
You made a minor mistake calling a sensor a valve. You could just accept that instead of being a jackass and trying to justify it.
Secondly, they rule requiring all four sensors to be working dated back to before all four sensors had independend power supplied. Back then, a power failure could cause two sensors to fail, jeopradizing the launch if one had already failed before. That hasn't been the case for a long time and it would take two independent failures to cause two more sensors to fail post-launch.
You might want to learn a little before you tell the Nasa engineers how to do their job, and maybe you'll appear less moronic.
You're making it sound like they scrubbed the launch because of a broken cupholder or something. We're talking about a fuel sensor here whose malfunction could cause the engines to cut off to early and send the shuttle plunging back to earth from suborbit.
There's a daily lauch window of about 10 minutes when the ISS is in the right place. Those 10 minutes occur during the night between July 31st and September 9th.
Can your kitchen tiles withstand a blowtorch on one side of them while remaining cool enough to touch on the other, while being a fifth the density of water?
Didn't think so. You might look less stupid if you read up a little before your next post.
It comes down to how much you value your time. It's $50 you're talking here for an entry-level printer, or $100 for a printer-scanner-copier. Yes, it'll cost me less to go down to Kinko's whenver I want to print, or to one of the many places out there to print photos. I'd rather just be able to reach over and print/photocopy than have to go down to the store, or to print online and wait for them to be delieverd.
A vast majority of worms spread either with the user logged in or through remote exploits. You could require retinal scans to login and still not make a dent in the problem of worms and zombies.
Why are blank passwords even an option? Every user account should have a password, period. Why? If you want, you can implement a policy requiring a minimum password length on YOUR system. Why should the OS decide for you?
The problem is that there has been such a massive overreaction to 9/11. Today we're expected to give up freedoms and face all kinds of scrutiny the moment they words "terrorist" or "war on terror" are uttered.
There might be a period of mayhem, but I think in the long run that would be a good thing. ICANN is clearly corrupt seing how the way they've been favoring Verisign. The rest of the world need to send the message that they won't stand for this.
Third: containment part three: if it fails it will give the a real nice flash. ok, with such a small one this doesnt matter (a normal rocked exploding is also devastating, but a bigger one would be like a nuke on steroids).
Why would it? At the risk of sounding riduculously redundant... when you replace conventional rocket fuel with an equvalent amount of antimatter, the amount of eneregy is exactly the same
1. The amount of oil required to mine palladium is so many orders of magnitude smaller than the amount of oil the car would burn over its lifetime
2. There's nothing misleading about calling them fuel cells. They oxidise fuel (methanol/hydrogen etc..) to produce electricity. A fuel cell is a very accurate descrtiption of what it does.

Even if a thousand people put $20k down, that's $20M, which is pocket change for a large company like Virgin.
And you're in a position to judge whether the scientists who think it's larger are right or whether the one who think it's smaller are right?

"I have nothing to hide" is a very dangerous way of thinking

What company do you use?
Because too many amerians are ignorant sheep? I thought the rest of the world had figured that out by now.
Ooooh! Shiny new phone! Look! And its free!!!
(with a 1 year contract at $40/month, that is)

Take a look at the jump in the number of release-critical bugs! Is this all related to X.org or is there some other major change in the works?
It's nonsense when it's intentionally skewed... eg. a survey that has leading questions

It's window covers that would be removed before launch. I'm not saying this kind of thing is excusable, but your comment is a little over-the-top.
Ever hear of sarcasm?

The Mafia wants that one
A single jump instruction, and you have to flush the entire pipeline!
That's patently not true

It's screenshots posted by someone who has obtained a beta copy of Longhorn. Nowhere is it claimed that Microsoft has released these screenshots.

Actions of an overzealous police officer don't mean anything... the case you mentioned was dropped and didn't even go to trial
