Perhaps if they setup a preferences page to allow the users to select what to display and what to hide, then there would be more acceptance among the users. Either way, I'd hate to be the feeds product manager right now. Eesh.
I propose a new section be created that is not about Google, but rather about people talking about Google. I suppose this comment would then be marked as +5, Meta-Google.
Maybe I'm being a nit-pick. Assuming he was talking about WINE, he should know not to use the word emulate, as Wine Is Not an Emulator. Some IS director...
Why not program it to have TiVo-like features, so it'd do smart downloading? Or at least you could easily create a "do not download" band list. You're assuming blind downloading by the music player.
... would it qualify? I suppose it's governmental, not commercial, but still. I'm willing to bet it could beat most competitors in that competition, whenever it happens.
I don't believe the SSMEs have EVER BEEN analyzed and re-engineered to create characterizations of their failure points, reliability, etc.
Robert Abernethy, as an expert on reliability and different modes of failure, was asked to join the Challenger investigations. At the first meeting, he was asked his opinion. He (rightfully so) said Weibull (among other types of) analysis should be done on many of the shuttle components to plot their reliability. He wasn't invited to any of the subsequent meetings.
It's odd that not many of them listen to useful suggestions. One that DOES listen is Michael Griffin. I do trust his command over the space agency. He's an engineer, not a bureaucrat. NASA will be less bureaucratic, given time, in his hands.
Isn't CurrentTV already "GoogleTV"? Perhaps the major difference will be that GoogleTV will be broadcast on the internet, whereas CurrentTV isn't, as far as I know.
Actually they do land the shuttle. Feynman is incorrect. I can say this, as I have personally flown the Motion Space Shuttle Simulator (the real one that astronauts train on at Johnson Space Center--no touristy item). The Commander has nearly complete control of the steering after the pilot releases it to him/her after going slowing from sonic speeds. They train very hard to get it right everytime. When I flew the SMS, I was successful, but almost didn't stop before the end of the runway.
I thought it was interesting how none of the major networks planned ahead to have some people at the alternate landing sites. It was likely that the shuttle was to land at Edwards instead of Kennedy due to weather

Google would make a note of that request, but even they don't have a to-do list on their calendar. Sorry.

There are a load of US programmers that are willing to pave the roads. I saw it in Office Space.
