No, censorship is when any person with any kind of authority modifies a work for ethical, moral, or political reasons.
When any person with any kind of authority modifies the work? Even the artist? Seriously Mr. Clinton, why do you feel you need to redefine words? You're just spouting crap - who modified the work? Maybe the artist wanted two versions, and you can be sure that, whether done in the studio or electronically, they agreed to it somewhere in the fine print.
The reason for the landing gear part is because that is a 1 shot deal.
Entry is a one-shot deal too. Post-deorbit burn, you're coming in whether you like it or not.
There's some politics involved too. Flight software defines events as Major Modes - it'd be very simple to not allow the DeployLandingGear command to be issued outside the Approach and Land phase (MM305?). The politics come in by way of the astronaut office - by requiring a person to push the button, the astronauts are now assured of a job.
And those people are typically idiots. Sorry, this is one of my pet peeves. I've seen lines at the grocery store across the street selling their gas for 3 cents cheaper. You save less than a dollar on a tank of gas. And they grab a 16oz Coke on the way out for $1.29. So not only did they have to wait for 10 minutes to fill the tank to save 75 cents, but they pissed the savings away in a Coke. Worse yet, a Starbucks coffee.
There's much more efficient ways to save money than shopping around for gas. [stepping down]
I've had 2 issues with T-Mobile in the past 3 yrs. After 18 months, my boss was selling the company, but I wanted to keep my phone and transfer it into my name. I also wanted to get a different phone since the battery on mine was going bad. Their script said that I was not eligible for a phone upgrade since I was a "new" customer. However, if I'd have killed the acct (not under contract, so no cancellation fees) and signed up for a new one, they'd jump thru hoops throwing offers at me. They ended up offering me an upgrade, but I wasn't able to do it through the first line rep.
I wanted to change plans over to the My Favs - but was told I couldn't because my Razor (less than 1 yr old) wasn't compatible. But if I bought a new Razr, it would be. My Favs is a flippin' billing issue, not a phone issue. If you're wanting to move phones, then say so.
Why does it seem that cell phone companies only offer incentives to new customers? There seem to be no retention incentives at all. Why not offer better plans when you've been with them for X years?
Reminds me of this software reliability seminar I attended a few years ago. The lady presenting had created her own model that would predict the reliability of a project based on a couple dozen development environment variables and project complexity parameters - a lot of arbitrarily chosen and assigned values really. Then she tweaked the weight of each parameter (taken from less than a half dozen projects) and ta-da...a model. I asked if this approach might involve some smoke and mirrors, but she vehemently denied. Whatever, I suppose everyone has to make a living - but I recommended the company never to send anyone else to her seminar.:)
Ok - so that one is Teleatlas, Google has demonstrated that they are doing it, and I saw a live.local.com camera-rigged SUV (looked a lot like the one in the wired article you linked to) going down Bay Area Blvd on the south side of Houston about a week ago. So they're all obviously interested in doing something similar, just seems like a lot of duplicated work.

Didn't vinyl make a comeback about 12 or 15 years ago during the grunge era? What makes anyone think this is anything other than another small bump in popularity?

Good companies dont treat the fired or laid off employees like dirt.
Assuming that the fired or laid off employee was a good employee to start off. If the guy is incompetent or dishonest, why afford him the respect he didn't afford you?

- I believe Texas is an "at-will" state. I might have the wrong term, but it basically means that you can quit/be fired without notice, although for the sake of not burning bridges, he did the right thing with giving notice.
- I think he's only fired if he didn't get paid through the 2nd week. Some employers might tell the person to stay home the last 2 weeks if they consider the person a risk to their assets. ??
I live in St. Louis, with some of the lowest housing costs of the nation and can't find something like that for less than $200k.
Google - st. louis real estate - click first hit for realtor.com - search Central and South St. Louis County, single-family homes, 1200 sq ft or more, $0-$200k. 1181 of the 6041 homes on the market match this criteria.
Your MythTV didn't cost you $60. Just because someone donated the computer to you doesn't mean it was free.
Although I'm not sure what your point is here, I guess I'll go with it. Just because you griped enough to DirecTV and didn't get charged for a year doesn't make it free to you either. Be sure to count the time on the phone with them, the downtime without the service, and the general BS that you have to put up with when speaking w/ customer service.
There's that and there's the time it cost you to put it all together and get it working.
Depending on who you are, this is part of the adventure. Maybe as much fun and memorable as actually using it when you're finished.
You mean a ring shank nail? You're right, nothing new there. RTFA to see the other features (max dia middle, twisted top, larger head) and why they're important.
Most complex machine ever built, and it performs in an environment that boggles the mind. And in one fell swoop, you deem it a piece of garbage. I'd ask to see your idea of a worthy space vehicle, but I think I'd have more luck asking you to have another bag of cheetos.
So...you never bitch about spam? It's the same thing. Probably not worth $500 for what you have to go through, but the idea is to make it difficult enough on their end that they find another approach to their marketing.

Except the FCC is now the test ground, instead of PCs worldwide? ;)

I'm pretty sure MythTV is here to stay since it has nothing to do with the cable company. It can do more than Tivo too.
Hmm....and all this time I thought E was 14 in decimal. ;)
