Hey, I'm just wondering how long it will take someone to walk through a mall during a big holiday like christmas and scan people's cars for loot. I'm not worried about people tracking me, but nothing like putting a transmitter in a car or even a house (what is the range on these things anyway??) that says "I'm an Xbox in here -- come get me!!" I'm not paranoid, but it was just a thought...of course, Faraday might help the car situation -- unless it is a plastic car:)
I think that the most likely cause of this is the better, faster, cheaper paradigm. The articles I have read about the Boeing analysis points to aerospace industry considation moving work from experienced (20+ years) engineers having their jobs moved to Texas. Why the hell would an experienced engineer in Hungington Beach move to Texas, when there is plenty of work were he or she is? So, a small amount moved to Texas, leaving dozens of inexperienced engineers to do the risk analysis of the foam impact. But, in reality, if they found that the tiles were severly damaged, what the hell could they have done? I guess in the past they have found ways to cool sections of the fuselage that may be vunerable, but what if the damage was a very large section? If they know that the "heat shield" was damaged to the point that the shuttle would be lost, what could they do? ISS was way to high in altitude for the shuttle to reach, and the shuttle did not have the ISS docking ring anyway. They had the large experiment module in the payload bay. Further, they have no escape pod. In reality there was no way to save them. So, do you just keep it quiet and let them enjoy the last days of their lives without worry? Why tell them if there is nothing you can do?
Would everyone please ask themselves this question: Where would we be today without the help and investment of time, money, and talent from a little *proprietary* company called AT&T? Without their contribution to this industry that many of us make very good living off of, we would not even have the need, medium, or occasion to have this discussion.....

Steal her monitor. Give her a 15" -- clearly that is all she needs...
