I saw some excerpts from a NASA press conference on The Newshour with Jim Leher. Apparently they were getting excessive drag from the damaged wing. The guidance system was trying to compensate -- using both the control surfaces and the maneuvering jets -- and "losing the battle," as the NASA guy put it.
When the yaw becomes great enough at that speed.... (I get queasy just thinking about it.)
Storage vendors seem to be obsessed with capacity, mostly to the exclusion of performance. I already have customers wasting 75%+ of their disk capacity so that they can spread their data over enough drives to get the performance they need.
Microscopic $/MB is great, but only if you use all those megabytes.

I'm at least as anti-Microsoft as the average Slashdotter, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. Aside from the fact that a patch was available, what the heck is a database server doing with a direct Internet connection?

Ultimately, middle class people in India, etc. will demand what middle class people everywhere demand -- good schools, clean water and air, etc., and the costs of doing business in those countries will rise along with the lifestyle of their citizens. Eventually, there won't be any place left to suck.
Eventually could be a long time from now, however, and nothing says that the transition won't be extremely painful.
