Much better way to deal with bugs, I'm surprised no one thought about this before. I guess the real test will be to see how they deal with the bugs they "buy"
I don't think that's the point. I think the point is, people are going to buy VoIP because it's cheap, and the FCC wants people to be able to reach 911 should there be an emergency. The FCC is not pushing VoIP on anyone, or making them think they should "trust" VoIP 911, quite the opposite really, they're working with a trend to make sure it's as safe as possible.
Here's an idea, instead of spending money trying to break through to all different kind of markets or advertising in stupid ways, put it towards making a good, funny commercial. There are a few commercials recently that are actually enjoyable to watch, and I will actually REWIND to see them! Yes, a commercial! (The DirecTV Sunday Ticket commercial comes to mind, a good one).
Just because they decided to delay the launch doesn't mean the apocalypse. They couldn't have realistically predicted what was going to happen with the sensor, and I don't think it has anything to do with them being "unable to hunt anymore" rather the loss of public interest. NASA still has some neat things to offer, but the public just doesn't really show too much interest in the subject.
At this point I think they're just playing it safe. Even after the whole CAIB regulations and requirements, they're taking a chance with the shuttle launch. I don't think any of the guys in that control room wanted to be responsible for another horrible accident because they declined to call off the launch. It seems like they probably didn't have to call it off, since there was a backup for the backup, but I think I would have done the same. Hopefully it's something they can have fixed in a day or two.

I'm fairly certain I saw a video of this a while back, and I believe it was mounted to a tank. Anyone have a link?
Anyone else find it funny that Microsoft took the sidebar OUT of windows and Google put it back in?
out of curiousity, which software do you use?

I aspire to reach your level of maturity.
Whew, glad you guys caught that one. The Nintendo DS and the PSP are nothing alike. One has an extra screen!
$1100 up for grabs for someone who makes a tcp/ip interface for the PSP. Wow.

Yes, that is correct. Seems like pretty fair logic to me. Fuel sensor > window cover if you ask me.
