So why don't they take their road show to Iran or Saudi Arabia?

Just pointing out these are Muslims killing non-Muslims. Allah would be proud.

I love reading all the pissing and moaning comments. Last time I looked Apple was number one in customer satisfaction.

Give NASA all the money that gets wasted at the Casino the day after the Social Security checks arrive.

NATO and allies need to take a pass on this one and let our friends from China and Russia protect the people of Syria from chemical attacks by their own government. Oh wait - they don't care. Too bad for them.

Because it was the right thing to do. Very simple.

A bit off-topic. Can someone tell me what happens to the spent first stage boosters when they are jettisoned? Since Baikonur and Kazakhstan are land locked, I assume they just fall back to earth (not water)? Do people live down range of Baikonur in the drop zone? Thanks.

First off, while I seldom agree with the left, we are not at war with the Palestinians, so we should not be censoring anything. With that said, the world only has two options; keep the status quo and prevent a hot war in the Middle East (maybe) or leave the combatants alone, which will inevitably lead to nuclear war. Hamas and radical Islam (I am looking at you Iran) are bent on the destruction of Israel, and Israel will defend itself to the end. When Islamic clerics begin to preach peace with Israel, I will eat these words. Of course there is the possibility that the Israelis will simply give up and move away - sure they will.

I admit I am ignorant in this case beyond the headlines. Did the judge order the exact wording of the apology? Did the judge order the exact location on a web site that the apology must appear? Did the judge order the exact page of newspapers the apology must appear? Also, we're the quotes attributed to the judge not accurate?

"...Some are concerned over a proposal by European telecom operators seeking to shift the cost of communication from the receiving party to the sender. This could mean huge costs for US Internet giants like Facebook and Google."" The real reason.

Don't forget that when you upgrade past Windows XP, you will have to implement a KMS server to handle your licensing. If you do imaging as a method of updating workstations, you will have to deal with this.

Who in 1936 envisioned Auschwitz or Dachau in 1944? Well Israel has many citizens with tattoos from those very places. Now they hear similar rhetoric spewing from Iran AND see that they are actively working on pieces of a weapon that could unleash an even greater holocaust. I don't know about you, but I would take it VERY SERIOUSLY.

Bravo!

I was not trying to say they would have had to do any manual intervention, and I would fully exept them to NOT have to, just like what happened last night. But as you mentioned, it did not appear like they noticed. Anyhow, I am glad the SpaceX engineering effort paid of. Good job.

Your points are well taken, but in reviewing the NASA feed, the voice-over clearly stated that "all nine Merlin engines ... continue to burn ..." after 2 minutes. I believe this was a NASA voice-over, so that may be where the discrepancy happened. As for your analogy, I agree, but given today's techno-crap most cars are coming with, it would not surprise me if this does not happen in the near future, say for low breake fluid or cylinder misses.
