  1. Re:Fetus in a bag on Doctors Save Premature Baby Using Sandwich Bag · · Score: 1

    When my daughter was in NICU (back in 1993, she was 7 weeks preemie), there was a 3 month preemie there. He survived and is fine.

    Hell, my *MOTHER* was 2.5 months preemie, and that was in 1938.

    Also, 2002 called with Scott Spezio's home run in Game 6.

    It's been about 15 years since I played with it, so I'm afraid I don't recall.

    Sorry.

  4. Re:What open channels? on FCC Set To Finalize Rules For Next-Gen Wireless · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I was mistaken and unsure. I should have stuck with the first question, and not posted the second comment.

  5. Re:What open channels? on FCC Set To Finalize Rules For Next-Gen Wireless · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yeah, the channel numbers stayed the same, but didn't they move in the spectrum during the digital changeover?

    This is the whitespace formerly used by *ANALOG* broadcast TV.

    I live in Los Angeles, so about 10 million?

  7. Re:I thought Orion was dead on Orion Spacecraft On the Path To Future Flight · · Score: 1

    Never mind. Found it on Wikipedia.

    It's a Shuttle-C derived stack, using the stock ET and stock 4-segment SRBs.

    It'll also apparently be man-rated, but because the capsule is inside the fairing, there's no danger of falling foam damaging the heat shield.

    How does SD HLV differ from Ares V?

  10. Re:This would scare the hell out of me on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 1

    Given that I've already admitted my fear of heights, why the fuck would you think I'd even attempt to go onto the observation deck?

  11. Re:This would scare the hell out of me on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, that's a better way of phrasing it. Edges.

    I'm fine inside a skyscraper with a standard vertical window. If it tilts out so that I feel like I'm leaning over the edge, that's the trigger.

    At the G.C., though, i couldn't get within 20 feet of the edge where the observation point was. How that Native American tribe gets people to do the Skywalk thing, I have no idea.

    Join the club. I'm fine with flying, but I freak out at steep drops that I'm "connected" to. My daughters thought it was hilarious when I lost it at the Grand Canyon, and I was nervous all throughout dinner when we ate at the top of the Stratosphere (not my choice).

    Given that I almost panicked on the Palm Springs aerial tramway, I suspect that I'd go into full-blown panic mode on a plane that did that.

    Airbus may be able to make a plane like this. I doubt that they'll sell many to commercial airlines, due to liability concerns over people with acrophobia. There may be a niche market for sightseeing etc...

    How did the TI 340x0 series deal with it? It was a *bit-addressable* machine, but char was 8 bits. They shipped an (allegedly) ISO compliant C89 compiler for it.

    Except that *no* money has gone to the creditors, except for creditors that happen to be law firms working for SCOXQ.

  16. Re:What assets? on SCO Puts Unix Assets On the Block · · Score: 1

    Because this is Bankruptcy Court, specifically Delaware BK court, and the BK judge in question has pretty much let SCOXQ do whatever the hell they want.

    SCOXQ already has a buyer in mind (probably Yarro), or they wouldn't do this auction.

    Humor is subjective, I guess.

    It's not the stereotyping that bugs me... I just don't find the humor funny. And I've been told I have an incredibly warped sense of humor... Oh well.
