Acutaully the Soyuz isnt that important NASA has been working on a emeregency re-entry vehicle for some time. It would actually glide back once past the atmosphere on parachute... see link http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/RT2001/5000/5950dunlap.html
If I had a dime for every system I've seen where there was no planning, no logic, just brute force coding I'd be richer than those in the.com era.
This bring me back to the last slash dot post a few weeks ago of the 80 hour a week SW engineer.
True SW architects are hard to find and so is thier logic. A managment that understands the expense and time involved are even rarer entities.
Hardware Architecture keeps building on similar themes, no real inovation going on (I use that term loosely). SW requires a human factor.
You b*****d I found you at long last!!!

computers or VCR's for that matter. My 18 year old niece says to me. I'm feeling pretty old, but its fun to reminice and see how far things have come in such a short time.
I work for an IT security company that does works some pretty secure systems. When we come across custom apps we are amazed time and time again how the logic was put into developing them, not just security. Its one thing to code, its another to do it well. My favorite catch was an SQL developer who created a hyperlink to care and feed his system that simply had to many bugs and pushed to production. Its important that companies have good end to end IT polices, apps, usage and security, but in large part managements dont recognize the risk until its to late.
Any MBA will tell you the only commitment a CEO has to the business is to make money for the shareholders. Its this short sightedness that leads to the degradation of any company. Why do you think Branson is doing so well with Virgin. Its and independent. I think we need more of those companies where the passion is still there, not the bottom line.
Having just managed and just laid off an entire office of 35 engineers and then myself this hits a little close to home. I think the largest problem faced by managers are those how acutally do the day to day but arent visable. Usually those individuals are targeted along with the drift wood and those responsibilities land on the remaining staff adding to the work load and ususally undermining thier capabilites. I've seen it time and time again, where the corporate structure simply doesnt understand the dynamics of its own work force or its functionality and suffers for it in the long run.
I see the point but once again I was not talking about the Hubble specifically but merely the advantages of technology that are unknown to the common public and could be. There's plenty of other methods outside using a gigantic mirror to accomplish things.
As for the newspapaer, its pretty familiar albeit I always question the sources...

My comment was largely based on technology not the hubble itself. The hubble is based on "released" technology. The gov has the money and willpower to advance it long before it may be publicly availible. I vuguely remember a comment about being able to reading a headline on a newspaper from space but cant remember where.
If you figure we can view a galaxy a bizzillion miles away through the hubble just imagine what we are capable of now right in our back yard. And the hubble aint even classified.
another 200K in storage space and the 80K salary for the security nerd to read them. Or could we just post the strings as an entertainment service aka something like dub, dub, dub office-watercooler.com?
Devils Advocate...
Ok this is obviously for people who dont know how to properly admin thier networks. Block AOL or other apps at the door (FW or Proxy) or better yet setup some friggin policies. Thier is no reason for this unless corps want to intentionally spy on thier employees.
Dont get me wrong, I'm a free net kind of guy but when you got over a 1000 users clogging up the veins what choice do you have?

our new economy iz to zimply commit and have otherz pay. Dah. is goot.
Voice to Lip-Sync? it has to be decompiled on one end someplace in-order to interpret it on the other.
Why in the world do they bother with the lip-sync, and just use real time text-banner style. Gotta wonder about over-engineering sometimes.
its about the only thing that made AOL popular when the net first emerged. this is just a last ditch effort, shoot the horse already.

Anyone heard of desktop policies? I've got over a 1000 users and lock'em up tight.
