As already mentioned, the thing tries to deorbit itself anyway, so it it a relatively minor issue to apply thrust at the right time to force a known impact spot. There is a 2 mile/sec delta-V needed to send it off into deep space, to be applied to how many tons? Applied with what? Interesting that this is not a NASA announcement...
NASA always said that it was going to be de-orbited 10 years after completion. Unless they have changed it, it will be a European Cargo ship that will perform the burn. Can't see what the problem is, really, it's a joint venture guys.
The Franken-app that I am supporting now, runs only on IE6, 90% of the code could be submitted to DailyWTF.
To rewrite it would take 2 - 3 years, to fix it to run in IE8, 2 years or so. Neither is going to happen so it will keep running. The previous developper left because of it, and I can see a future at another company very soon.
Hardly they were protected from the US public, because they show the flag being blown away in the wash of the eagle taking off. In fact nothing lasts from the first apollo landing except the landers legs. the buggy might still be there from the later missions though, but boot prints / flag anything combustable or light weight will have been either burnt or erased.
I've recently done this.
Clean install of windows, gets a network connection up and running and i can get the drivers to install the rest of the cards.
Red Hat -- Wifi drivers don't work , installed faq has a helpfull link to a Website on how to get your wifi card to work.
Suse -- Same deal as redhat
Knoppix -- does not support my wifi card
Various LiveCD's don't support it either.
Eventually what I had to do was remove all the PCI cards from my box, install 4 different pci wifi cards, 1 usb wifi card and then install Suse 10.0 (10.1 doesn't work with any of the cards ) , eventually it found one that it could use an RA2500 based card, but there was no setting for TKIP - instructions on a wiki on the web. bloody usefull I must say. Changed my settings on the router to WEP encryption and it suddenly starts working. figured out how it should be set up for TKIP and changed it back, and it stopped working after the reboot.
Uninstalled suse, but the companies vista version on that box, spent 5 mins playing with the crap interface and wooshy effects, same with the java3D interface. uninstalled and put the initial win2k back on to it, left it for 8 hours while it auto patched itself, another 4 - 5 hours installing the server software, and my box was ready again.
Until linux sorts out the basics, like having the help files on the install cd. Having TKIP working out of the box and not insecure WEP etc. I can't see myself using it.
you can run the explorer as a different user, but it requires the command line /runas/user:administrator explorer.exe
If I need to run the control pannel as administrator I start a new explorer as administrator and use it that way.
I've not seen any application that won't run on win2k so have avoided upgrading to XP, eventually I will be forced to upgrade to Vista on at least one of my machines at home.
I've been playing around with linux for a long time now, but it's never really filled the requirements that I have, I don't have the time available to spend trying to coax standard Iso's to work on my boxes.
This is the XP version of UAC , win2k is much the same but is slightly different to activate
Create a shortcut for an exe file
right click and select properties
click advanced
check the run with different credentials
close all the windows
run the shortcut
I run as base user at home, when I need to install I just create a shortcut and activate RunAs.
DirectX 10 is a marketing gimic to force people to upgrade, Directx 9.0c works fine for World of Warcraft, from what friends have told me, DirectX 10 is unstable while playing WoW so that's a good number of people that won't be upgrading.
Back when IBM was doing this, we stopped buying IBM kit completely. Being locked into the vendor and paying 4x the price of a replacement component than the current market value was the deciding factor. Adding that sort of markup to the average IT budget will force more companies to make the switch to something a little more open.
but it could send your xp key to microsoft, who add it to a database and the next time you use XP it phones home and volia your key is no longer valid.
I refused to upgrade from win2k to xp. there's still nothing new in Vista that can't be done in win2k.
Because maybe, modifying the summary would render the entire discussion obsolete, better to leave it how it is and let the comments point out the fallacies.
They will wait until you need to take money from the government and provide an all expenses trip to the Caribbean.
I've recently turned down a job offer to work in NY. The USA used to be on my list of places to visit / work, now it's on the list of places to avoid, along with parts of Angola, Baghdad and others.

Or even worse..

and there's sure to be.

I was driving in the UK on the M42 the other day, and I passed under one of these, about 2 meters away from it it changed, I was too close to see what it changed to, but right after it is a variable speed Camera.. I'm waiting to see the ticket and the driving ban for being 20mph over the speed limit.

"Bizarrely the only country I've been to that obeys the overtake-then-pull-back-in rule is France. On autoroutes it's almost suspiciously well-mannered."
There's a reason behind this, on french roads the road signs are extreamly close to the junctions, along with very dangerous entry / exit ramps you have to pull back in to be able to get off the road safely, however the right hand lane is not very safe due to the junctions.
Most UK / US / Germany junctions are like this
<----/----\---< Exit ramp first , entry ramp after >----\----/--->
Most french junctions are. <----\---/----< Entry ramp first, exit ramp after >----/---\---->
So most of the time at junctions there is crossing traffic, entry trying to come onto the autoroute and traffic trying to come off the autoroute at the same time.

the Haward/Calaveras is actually the same fault line and can possibly create a 7.4 quake. https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/20/2-bay-area-earthquake-faults-found-to-be-connected/ I watch earthquake reports for the bay area every day, I would be interested to know if the increase in small quakes along the San Andreas south of SF over the past two months is something to worry about. I've not seen more than one or two earthquakes along there in such a short space in time over the last 10 years. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/#%7B%22autoUpdate%22%3A%5B%22autoUpdate%22%5D%2C%22basemap%22%3A%22grayscale%22%2C%22feed%22%3A%2230day_m25%22%2C%22listFormat%22%3A%22default%22%2C%22mapposition%22%3A%5B%5B35.03899204678081%2C-124.76623535156251%5D%2C%5B38.98503278695909%2C-117.7349853515625%5D%5D%2C%22overlays%22%3A%5B%22plates%22%5D%2C%22restrictListToMap%22%3A%5B%22restrictListToMap%22%5D%2C%22search%22%3Anull%2C%22sort%22%3A%22newest%22%2C%22timezone%22%3A%22utc%22%2C%22viewModes%22%3A%5B%22settings%22%2C%22list%22%2C%22map%22%5D%2C%22event%22%3Anull%7D
