That's why the crew should have pistols and shotguns to go with the rifles. Personally, I'd rather fight it out than willingly become a hostage. Why is that concept so bothersome to so many people?

Submission + - Blogger finds Y2K bug in NASA global warming study 11

An anonymous reader writes: According to the article at http://www.dailytech.com/Blogger+finds+Y2K+bug+in+ NASA+Climate+Data/article8383.htm a blogger has discovered a Y2K bug in a NASA climate study by the same writer who accused the Bush administration of trying to censor him on the issue of global warming. The authors have acknowledged the problem and released corrected data. Now the study shows the warmest year on record as being 1934, not 1998 as previously reported in the media. In fact, the corrected study shows that half of the 10 warmest years on record occurred before World War II.
