The first stage is supposed to be recoverable and reusable. Does anyone know if the stage was recovered? The stage's successful recovery, refurbishment, and reuse should be considered a critical goal in this test.
If the Gaul was Helvetian...well they're quite prized for their fierceness; so in that case we all could understand why the boss was pissed. Next time, leave your employer the Gaul and take a differnent barbarian. Take my word for it, no one would miss the odd Scythian or Thracian, but with Gauls it's just another matter altogether.
I know I'll be modded off-topic, but what the hell. When you say Norfolk harbor(Hampton Roads), I hope you're pronouncing it "naw fuck" like a real Tidewater native;-). It drives me crazy to hear "nor folk," "naw fick," etc.. Even NPR can't get it right.
You're right - I don't think I ever gave all those reactors a single thought while growing up just across the bay in Hampton, but the nuclear warheads stored up the York river at the Naval weapons station always have given me the willies.
I concur, the ability to use Access to quickly put together front-ends using VBA for managing input and output and the ability to easily manipulate data in Sybase, SQL Server, SQL Anywhere, etc.. databases via ODBC keeps our users from stuffing crap into our data stream (sorry, really ugly analogy there...) and lets me respond rapidly to constantly changing needs. That alone is makes Office a must-have for me. For the paranoid part of me, I find it telling in a way, that Access seems to have the absolute worst back and forwards compatibiity issues (IMHO). M$ forces Access dependent orgs to "keep up with the Joneses" by ensuring we'll experience some sort of compaitbility problems with each new release.
hmmmm..could it be all about the guide.

New Linux PVR Box

· Score: 1
I was struck by both the EPG and their data provider(Tribune/Zap2it). I didn't see on their site that they license IPG technology from Gemstar/TV Guide. A Linux based IPG solution might be attractive to cable/satellite operators who need to use their set-top box resources efficiently - especially once they seriously start deploying integrated PVRs. Perhaps it's not about the $899.00 box - maybe the box is a stalking horse to get into the EPG business. Prove it works on this platform, make a relationship with a data provider with deep pockets, and then go after every cable/satellite box in the country.
