The myth of the jet engine giving a taxi a very bad ride, which your producer's "insurance" company would not allow you guys to test properly, was one of my more favorite segments. What does it do to Jamie and Adam when they see things like this website video clip: http://www.wimp.com/crosswinds/ , do you guys ever get ticked off that other shows seem to be able to do things you guys could have done much better? But I have to admit this is one choice viddy. Found it on Digg.com so all hail "bns12198901" the hero who posted the goods.
The economics of space flight have always seemed a bit dubious to me. The shuttle was palmed off on to us as an "economical" way to low earth orbit. We now know that, sadly, money was not the only thing it took from us. Now Russia--The Soviet Union--or whatever new republic, is asking for us to pay for our rides on their rockets. Seems like it is only fair. Maybe we did foot the bill for the ISS, but to my limited perspective, what we have asked of Russia would be like requiring airlines to give us free flights because taxpayers often pay a good majority of the cost to run airports and keep them in working order.
I am a Registered Nurse and I would urge you guys to be very careful about going into nursing as a career. The pay is really pretty good, but the working enviornments often stink. (literally and figuratively) Your supervisors will often have no difficulty asking you to "stay a little late" to cover for some nurse who can't get to work on time. The supervisors will also have no sympathy for you when you insist on taking your legally allowed breaks and lunches. Doctors will treat you like you know less than nothing. Administrators will be like the pointy haired bosses you would expect.
For God's sake don't do any part of anyone's job as a favor or to "be a team player", because you will find that since you had time to help your co-worker, and your co-worker "just has too much to do" that "favor" is now part of your job, forever. Unless you can get the new fish to take that bait. I have been a Nurse for eight years and have found that nursing attacts (still) mostly women with very low self esteem, coupled with an almost pathological need to be needed. If you take pride in what you know, and behave with the cofidence of someone who knows what they are doing, you may find nursing intolerable. Most nurses I know never work full-time because of what the job takes from you. The most precious moment I can recall is when I told the adminstrator of a nursing home that we could use the computer network to send messages between users of the network. I have never seen a blanker look--except in the recently deceased.
Newbie alert. I am seeing that there are posts that say there is a microdot in the message. I am completely lost on this. Is it a joke I am too green to get, or is there some stegonography (sp?) going on? Any serious reply would be appreciated.
When I first read about goto staements being harmful when dinsaurs ruled the earth, NASA code was often referred to by my betters as horribly written "spaghetti code". I am no programmer but I would like to see some of this code to see just how bad it supposedly is. Some of it did get us to the moon didn't it?

I think those who wrote this brain dead legislation know exactly what they are doing. There is just too damn much freedom on the internets.

Point well taken, truth be told I am thinking of going into computer programming. Best of luck to us all.

Amen.
I wouldn't click on any link you posted including ones directly to the Lord Almighty you deviant prick.
Nice. I'm trying to read something I think may be informative, and I get some piece of crap javascript pop-up thing. You disgust me.
