It is encouraging, the number of times we read about launch orders being given and the people manning the silos or submarines disobeying those orders, only to find out later that a mistake had happened to generate the order.
That is a bright spot in humanity's hope for survival.
"Actually it is well known from the recovered tapes and the recorded talks of the crew of Columbia, that all survived the accident until the crew cabin crash landed."
The Executive Summary of the Columbia Crew Investigation Survival Report page XIX says otherwise.
If a single utility is resisting 10,000 attacks a month, then there must be hundreds of thousands of attempts across the entire country network each week.
Since we don't read about the chaos the system overall seems to be reasonably well protected and contradicts the phrase "highly vulnerable".
Why is it that we have come to a point where the first thing we think of for a cool new technology application like this is "could be used to subvert airport security"??
I'm sure a lot of people here will recognize, that the "giant old fans now lay idle that once would have been used to circulate air along the tunnels" are actually Caterpillar diesel generators for temp or backup electricity. They've got fans sure, but they are blowing across radiators!!
That's a hugely ridiculous goof for a group of highly educated physicists to make.
Of course they were skipping the conferences their companies paid for them to attend, breaking and entering into private property and posting it on Blogger.
Looking at the photos linked from above, I can't see any method of it rotating either the front or rear wheels for steering.
Image 6 shows what appears to be a linkage underneath the front axle in the center, but looking at the higher angle photos, it simply looks like a rigid bracket. If in fact that entire axle is pivoting around that point, it sure seems like a weak point.
Of course, it doesn't look like the frame in general is all that stout. Maybe I'm wrong.
And what the heck is that neon photo all about? I kept looking for the oversize exhaust to go with it, but with the solar cells, I guess it would have been even more ridiculous on this than it is on an Escort.
If it's not wave after wave of spam in your mailbox, it's excessively intrusive ad banners and popups, or demands by websites that you pay a subscription for access.
Did I fail history or was the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima named "Little Boy"? The caption for the article calls it "Fat Man". But I seem to remember in my foggy brain that "Fat Man" was dropped on Nagasaki, three days later.

Flat out, one of the coolest hacks in history.
Well Done!

There is absolutely no way for a whale to get the bends.
They are not breathing compressed gas at depth and then ascending.
So, what are you doing about it now?
Is it just me, or does the one guy in the photo look like he's saluting another guy who is throwing out a Heil???

I would too...
Is there any way to even look at our own account and see when we registered?

I am sick and disgusted of where we have arrived.
I want off.
I thought McDonald's was the one abusing customers with that game...
Now Google ha a version too?!?
There is a comment after the story about this:
Trieste was a bathyscape--it was lowered on a cable from a ship and brought back up.
Jiaolong, Shinkai and Alvin are all free-diving submersibles.
I know you didn't write it, but I've seen a number of posts that quote ridiculous stats...
25 miles under water is a slight exaggeration.

I guess it's about right.
Looks like a cop car following in photo 3.
Maybe that's where the coffee and newpaper came from...
I'm just saying.
That address is less than 5 minutes from where I am right now...
:-)
They seem to be closed for the night. (Or are hiding.)
I'll have to make it a point to stop by on the way to work tomorrow.

We are going to find Neo waking up from in front of his computer, with his headphones still on and drool all over the desk.
Just as Alice woke up at the end of Wonderland, this is all just a dream for Mr Anderson.

Speaking as a former employee of Boeing at Kennedy Space Center, maybe they all need to rethink taking two weeks off in December for Christams!!

Kind of like Slashdot is doing?
