They don't actually move the books around, but they rename the aisles, recategorize things, and generally make a massive mess of it all.
Astronomical knowledge is evolving quite a bit faster than the rest of the library. I'm not necessarily saying that any IAU decisions are correct but I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with recategorizing. Isn't it that a hallmark of the intelligent?
Um, have you any experience with dealing with Microsoft or even read any articles about how it's managed?
Perhaps you're not familiar with spinoffs. The whole idea is to get promising technology and develop it outside of the companies normal structure.
Don't be fooled by the UID, I never commented much in the eraly days and I lost my first (unused) account. Over the thirteen years I've perused these pages I've come to know Microsoft well.
With regard to Apple, Microsoft will ALWAYS fail at this contest
Microsoft will eventually split, or at least begin creating spinoffs with separate governance. Small agile units backed by all that research and cash could be very very disruptive.
So build in some redundancy when you make valves.
LOL...another valve in a spacecraft is really going to help when one is stuck open!
Washington, DC / Hawthorne, CA May 29, 2012 — Today, Intelsat, the world's leading provider of satellite services, and Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), the world's fastest growing space launch company, announced the first commercial contract for the Falcon Heavy rocket.
"SpaceX is very proud to have the confidence of Intelsat, a leader in the satellite communication services industry," said Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO and Chief Designer. "The Falcon Heavy has more than twice the power of the next largest rocket in the world. With this new vehicle, SpaceX launch systems now cover the entire spectrum of the launch needs for commercial, civil and national security customers."
As of yet, the Falcon Heavy hasn't flown, but all the parts have been tested. Essentially an upgunned Falcon 9 with strapon boosters, the Heavy has lift capability second only to the Saturn 5. Already scheduled for 4 Falcon Heavy launches for the US Air Force this year, the Intelsat contract represents the true dawn of the commercial space age.
Going the speed of light is bad for your age.
