And only when they weren't docking at the ISS. Basically if they were headed to the station, and something went wrong and they couldn't hook up, sending another shuttle up wasn't going to help. One time in recent memory that they had two shuttles sitting on the launchpad, was when one was going to service the Hubble. So in this instance, they had a backup, as they would not be docking with the ISS. Looked it up to find a picture, and found this article with a little more info. Two shuttles were only every visible on launch pads at the same time 4 times. And there was only ever 2 shuttles on launch pads (but not both visible at the same time) 18 times in history. http://www.space.com/6597-rare-sight-twin-shuttles-launch-pad-time.html

I agree to an extent. But things were also simpler back then. You move left or right, and press A or B. Now you have controllers with 78 different buttons on them, there is a higher degree of complexity there. Of course anyone who's played one FPS can pick up another and figure out the differences easily enough.

Exactly. I've stopped buying many games near launch, mainly because of budget. These days games drop in price so fast (except AAA Wii titles!), that within a year I can usually get them for about $20. But a pleasant side effect of this, is that within that year, many games release a GOTY edition, and I get all that DLC with it!

However, preliminary voting results indicated that Gore was re-elected to Apple's Board.

Even though he's received the shareholder's majority vote, he's expected to lose the Apple electoral college vote.

I never had one, I was always AOL (I still have a version 1.5 floppy around somewhere) So if the email address isn't real, you'll have to take that up with Han himself!

I'll give you my email address. It's hansolo64@compuserve.com. Yes, CompuServe.

I agree completely. I don't see what the difference is between owning a tivo, without using the tivo service, and owning a cell phone and having it unlocked and using on a different carrier...

They do still offer a lifetime service. I believe it costs $400.

The works in the photo may not have copyright, but the fact is, the photos still have copyright. Let's say someone made a cd, where they performed songs that are all in public domain. They still get copyright over their version of the performance. The same would apply to a photo that you have taken.

Yeah... It may not affect him while he's in the US, but if he ever decides to travel to the UK, he could be in some trouble!

You're not getting it!

So then the next time that New Orleans gets decimated by a hurricane, it's not newsworthy!

I have an AOL version 1.5 floppy disk. :-)
