Really Boring Stuff Only II: Return of the Boredom

[Adam]

Alright, it doesn't arrive until Wednesday. Post whore in transiiiit.

It arrived early.

I was a bit nervous about buying it sight unseen, but I really like it so far. This 11" version is so nice and compact, but the keyboard is still really easy to use. Two thumbs up so far, but I've barely used it - just set it up and done a little web surfing.

You have made my lifelong goal to take down Crapple just a little bit harder.

They're making it a bit easier on you. iLife comes installed as part of Lion. The App Store says that there are updates for it, but it won't let me update it because I didn't purchase it - it wants me to buy them first. Yeah, okay...I already bought them as part of the Air. From my searching, many people have experienced this. I'm sure that someone will fix it eventually.

This is good stuff...

Atlantis launch in 720P
Some forces at play here ....
0 mph to speed of sound in less than a minute
0 - 3200mph in 2 mins 30 seconds

And a landing too

Much better in real life. No subwoofer even come close to the rumble.

The loss of the space shuttle program is a huge blow to our local economy. I'm sure it will take a few years before we really see the full effect to local business and real estate markets. Our county alone has seen double digit losses in property values and double digit unemployment for three years running.

It's a cascade effect......engineers, support staff, manufacturers, suppliers......it's a frigging disaster, not counting the research that will be nixed AND the amazing by-products that research spawns.

Lets see how long it's going to take China and India to set up their own shuttles.

Will they still keep the space center open as a tourist attraction and nature preserve?

Always wanted to watch this, heard it's something like 205dB... this rumbling

Yeah, the visitor center will still be there. They're building a new museum to house Atlantis. The building where the Apollo 5 and most of the moon related items is awesome. Hopefully they'll do something as nice for the shuttle.

The Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Patrick AFB will still be here. All of the other rockets and missle tests are launched at the Cape. The biggest thing now launching will be the Delta 4 Heavy. Eventually SpaceX will get their Falcon-9 and Falcon-HEAVY up and running. SpaceX is a private company trying to fill the need for manned and un-manned missions into low Earth orbit, like the space station.

I logged in to read about boring stuff, but I just got an education in science and economics. My a** hurts. Ummm, I meant my head hurts. Darn you Freud.

 

[haraldo]

This is quite amusing

 

[haraldo]

This is not bad.... too

 

[Adam]

12 hours without a boring post? Nice try, but you aren't fooling anyone.

 

[haraldo]

Awake and going to work....

Any cat herders here ?

 

[Adam]

Awake and going back to sleep....

Here it's morning, getting all confused now

 

[Adam]

Good morning! I'm groggy, but Niki doesn't have a snooze button.
