Maybe... JPL wanted to cook the first Ranger probes to avoid contaminating the Moon, but stopped when it fried the probe electronics.Just one chance to work with professionals. Even if it is only for 5 minutes.
What are they doing with their computers there? Drench them in desinfection?

I started watching the Netflix version of Cowboy Bebop. I can really agree to the criticism... the only really bad thing is, that it isn't the original anime series. If it wouldn't exist, it would be more fun to watch.

Yeah, I found it well enough, but considering the masterpiece that is the original is right next to it, it's... pointless.
Also, why is spike so gloomy? If there's one thing exceptionally noticeable about spikes character, then it's his almost constant smile of bewildered amusement at the world around him. I just couldn't warm up to brooding spike...
But hey, on a positive note, we have the original on Netflix thanks to them picking it up to make the life action show... I'm expecting the same result for their life-action Avatar remake, really.

Today I got the text message annoncing the arrival of my computer, version 3. This time the LED lit up when the power cable was plugged in, and the thing booted!!!! ?
Early runs show Orbiter with triple-digit FPS!!!
Ahead are weeks of setup and tweeking and getting used to things, but productivity should improve!

Video appears to show UK F-35 fighter crash after take-off
Dramatic footage of what appears to be a jet crashing off the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth was posted on Twitter.
www.bbc.co.uk
Not sure which is going to be the biggest inquiry, how the video got off the ship, or why the F35 didn't?

I am sure, the former one will be worse....
But also the official explanation sounds weird. Engine cover left in place should have been noticed with the usual preflight checks and the deck crew did not appear too alert before the plane failed to gain speed.

Uhm... if the US is that concerned about reverse engineering, how comes they even consider selling to Switzerland? You can't sell anything to switzerland without "us" taking it appart and analysing it to the last nut and bolt, and potentially selling it back to you with the kinks ironed out...now this is our F-35

Ya'll aren't going to ship one to the Russians.
Right? ?
Also, jokes aside, part of the offer was the local final assembly of 2-3 examples.

Knowing our arms industry, I think that'll entirely depend on how much they are willing to pay... ?

OK, luckily I know that our arms industry at least has some crooked sense of honor there. We will sell our products to anyone who can afford them. But we won't sell the products of others, since we can't provide expensive after sales support for those... Unless its from Switzerland*.
So, WE might be selling Swiss-built F-35 kits to Russians....
Had to buy a new PC 2 weeks ago - came home and found pc DOA There was a power failure and resulting surge fried it ..........Just one chance to work with professionals. Even if it is only for 5 minutes.

I can never repeat myself often enough there: paying the additional money for an extension cord with real surge protection is no comparison to paying for a new computer power supply....

Yay, my autistic kid finally managed to drop his pants and his diapers and pee all by himself.
The only thing he forgot was that he was supposed to go to the bathroom... ?

Its the small steps.
You have no idea how much we celebrated that our son decided to go to the bathroom in Kindergarten, instead of going into the vegetation or hurry home to noon. And he isn't autistic. Just very stubborn.
