Indeed. If you look at the second picture, the A4 sheets were "license entitlement certificates". It brought back a lot of memories for me as an HP-UX admin also.
The calendar time isn't important, it's just a headline. The real news is the number of write cycles going from ~10,100 to ~100,000,000 cycles, thereby making it usable in things like swap memory. By marking bad cells, much like bad sectors on hard disks, you also don't have to discard the whole chip if a single cell fails - like you do if a single cell fails in a RAM chip.
My calculator says "error" if I try to divide by zero.
My processor has an "illegal instruction trap" if I use a bogus opcode.
My operating system throws a "segmentation fault" if I dereference a bad pointer.
I reject your premise.
1) Liquid fueled rockets are only throttled for a softer liftoff than SRBs provide. Once you're clear of the tower, it's balls-out until you run out of fuel.
2) SRBs can't be shut down in flight, yes. And you would want to shut down a liquid fueled booster halfway to orbit exactly why?
Challenger blew up only incidentally due to O-rings. The real cause was a middle manager screaming "What do you mean I can't ship on time???" - happens every day in factories all around the world.
The notion that "Liquid fueled rockets are *much* safer once you're in the air" has no basis in fact. Your choices are a) go to orbit, b) abort & eject, or c) blow up and die.
The fact is, SRBs are cheaper and MORE reliable (no moving parts) than liquid for first (and second) stage.
Here's the announcement:
(Washington, D.C. - July 11, 2008) Today EPA released an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) soliciting public input on the effects of climate change and the potential ramifications of the Clean Air Act in relation to greenhouse gas emissions.
And here is the transcript of Johnson's conference call on the release.
Finally, here is the (588 page PDF) document itself.
I'm afraid I'm old enough to have read both of them when they were first published, which probably colors my view. While I'll admit that neither of them contains any "useful" (i.e: applicable) science per se, I have to say that they were both "mind expanding"/"eye opening" regarding physics.
Tao taught me that where there was nothing (literally no thing), there could suddenly be a few particles which would almost instantaneously annihilate themselves, to leave "no thing" behind. The notion of the quantum ground state "bubbling" like that has never left me.
Wu Li (admittedly the fluffier of the two) demonstrated that commutativity does not apply to the real world, particularly in regards to electromagnetic radiation (polarization). I remain flabbergasted by this notion.
Sure, they're both "popular" science, but if you read them with an open mind, and let it wander, you'll find yourself pondering some of the wonder in physics.
I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it! No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting. Look, matey, I know a dead spacecraft when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now. No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable ship, the Ulysses, idn'it, ay? Beautiful solar collectors! The solar collectors don't enter into it. It's stone dead. Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting! All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Ulysses! I've got a lovely fresh battery for you if you show...(owner hits the retros) There, he moved! No, he didn't, that was you hitting the retros! I never!! Yes, you did! I never, never did anything... (yelling) 'ELLO ULYSSES!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
According to the complaint, SuperMicro's "AOC-SIM1U+ IPMI 2.0 System Management Card" contins BusyBox;
and while SuperMicro supplied the source, they did not supply
the "scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable" and therefore did not constitute "complete and corresponding source code" within the meaning of the license.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow,
It's cloud illusions I recall,
I really don't know clouds, at all.

Seriously, wasn't BiX or CompuServe interested? Or is AOL just proprietary enough with a captive audience to appeal to Microsoft's way of thinking?
ME TOO!

I don't see how this is different.
Exactly. This is about as newsworthy as a slip-clutch doing what it was designed to do.
That was the first thing I thought of too, it's even a sound-alike.

NEWS BULLETIN: Flying into space in any kind of rocket is dangerous. Sometimes, even practicing is.
That's wicked funny. How long have you been saving that?

So what you really want is a CLI that understands regular expressions. One of my pet fucking peeves since DOS 2.11.
Even though, this being about eBay, having the LAST post is the only one that counts.
Of course not, silly. It's an Apple store. Now, had you said naked man...
Sorry, the IRS is already up my ass.

Ooooh, forgot about those. But do get the audiobooks (with course notes) also.

No, he didn't, that was you hitting the retros!
I never!!
Yes, you did!
I never, never did anything...

Wow. When they said "awful, ear-piercing chirps and whistles", they weren't kidding.
I'm more into sedition than subversion.
Wait. What?
