  1. Just had a software upgrade to my tranny on Software Glitches Stall Toyota Prius · · Score: 1

    Was having the 4WD stay in Low or go to 4WD High. Went in for service, later that day; all better without opening it up - just had to download a patch, then download it into the transmission controller. They never had to put a wrench to the machine. Mixed feelings.

  2. Social *sensitivity* on Microsoft Reverses Stand on Discrimination Bill · · Score: 1

    So Steve, are you going after China next? They don't seem too upset about Microsoft piracy ... but they DO do forced abortions kill children based on their gender value males over females. How's that sensitivty rule work again?

  3. No mention of the satellite tracking data on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 2, Informative

    satellite tracking covered in the news . My guess is because that kind of info is higher than S/NF, and therefore may not have made this report at all.

  4. Long lead times on Last Titan Launch from Florida · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I worked on my first Titan-Centaur in 1989, and at that point there were already end-items assigned out 10+ years. Launch vehicles are based on methodical and tested revisions to proven platforms. Mistakes are expensive. For context, I got the task to replace a program that managed end item change tracking. I was given the original source code on green-bar; the change note entries were in double letters by 1959.
