Actually I was referring to the order to implement bureaucracy article from a few days ago, but this is a good point as well. I was watching that launch live when they shut it down at the last moment. I wonder how much an abort like that costs SpaceX and NASA?

What I want to know is how they will be defending against trebuchets.

The door wings both ways though. Sometimes six-months-ago-me is a pretty cool guy.

Like that time I was searching for an answer to a problem on Stack Overflow. At first I thought "Ha, what a coincidence, the top rated answerer has the same name as me." It was not a coincidence... it was me.

No wonder ULA's buddies in the Air Force have been trying to sabotage SpaceX.

"Hey, guys, let this dumbass out!"

Every day it seems more like a documentary. At least this time it wasn't Americans being the complete idiots.

I hate it when I have to debug some other asshole's code.

I hate it more when the asshole is six-months-ago-me.

Exactly. Where you you think these Colonels and Generals will be getting cushy jobs at when they retire. SpaceX? Not bloody likely.

I thought "18F" was the string that precedes "/New York".

But if you are missing the point you will probably get benched.

Racism and sexism do offend me. Even when it is against white males, or when it is women degrading women or minorities degrading minorities.

Perhaps he means that not having individual temperature control is fucked up?

Because American voters can't see past the end of their noses. If congress enacted laws that increased prices on their Wallmart goods, they would be voted out so fast. Coupled with this the fact that the lobbies of corporations want to keep the status quo that keeps them rich.

Sure, they shoot them down without any attempt to contact the aircraft.

Of course the mom would say things like this, it is natural. Though I would like to say that any parent that raises a kid that does stuff like this probably did not have good parentage.

What I do have an issue with is that someone thought it was newsworthy enough to include in the article. Who cares what his parents think? I want to know what the evidence is, and I want to know why more people like this are not being locked up.

Perhaps if he did smoke, drink and have tattoos he would have not done this, because he would have a life.

Careful, that Colonel Jack O'Neil with one L has no sense of humor at all.
