[Sorry. I couldn't help it... one of those days.]

I would like to state, today, on Monday 26th May 2003, that the
forthcoming tragic disaster involving the orbiter Atlantis was clearly a
result of staggering incompetence and criminal negligence by NASA
officials, and place this post as a record that I TOLD U ALL ALONNG,
DUMASSES.

Clearly, my predictions of this serve only to show that the neo-fascist
military-industrial complex forcing Shuttle to continue flying to
support ISS/Hubble/HAARP/Boeing [please delete as appropriate] is
illegal and callous, and I hope you will join with me in writing to your
Congressman[1] when the disaster happens, as I say now it will BECAUSE
I'M SMARTER THAN YOO.

If the disaster method involves an accident on launch, then I would like
to make it clear that the lessons of Challenger, which I saw the end of
a History Channel program about last month whilst waiting for the
football, were not learned; if the accident involves a re-entry accident
then the lessons of Columbia[2] were IGNOERED.

Oh, and NASA was cleary at fauly for not buying Buran from the Russians
and getting Chinese taikonauts to pilot it in a DARING RECUSE MISSION!

I would also like to reference the following pirces of clear and blatant
evidence:

1/ "My First Book On Spaceflight", 1973, making NO MENTION of re-usable
spacecraft. Clearly, a massive flaw in NASA planning which is still
endemic today.
2/ A very technical, so I won't go into it now, diagram and 3-D model
involving the fifth RCS plate on the left wing falling off, jumping 30'
backwards, cracking itslef on the RIGHT-HAND (!) SRB mount, and falling
back into place, whcih clearly wood be supported by N-ASS-A had they had
the foresight to listen to me and have 48" telescopes watching the
Shuttle as it sat on the pad right until it lands.
3/ There will be a typo in the CAIB report, althoguh it hadsn't been
writed yet, which will in HINDSIGHT be clear evidence they suppressed
the effects of PLANIT X on Columbia's orbit, causing a FIALED REENTRY.
4/ Look! Look at this photo! No, this one! EvidencE!

In conclusion, I predicted this all along and to say other wide is to
show clear evidencing of your being a clueless NASA supporter. with no
graps of REALITI.

ps. buy my book. i'll go and write it now to be ready.

[1] I haven't got one, so I'll write to yours...
[2] Which I will be nicely inspecific about as I don't understand them.

when Maxson starts cloning perhaps there's something to all the
arguements for a ban on said research :-P

It's even worse when an s.s.h regular posts a hilarious parody of
Maxson/hallerb/et al, and most of the other regulars don't catch it...

You should switch to IBM PS/2 keyboards. They have good tactile feel,
are incredibly reliable, and are built like HP only wishes they used
to make em. They're impervious to the Pepsi Syndrome, too. (And they
go for about $5.00 US at any swap meets or junk shops that you
encounter.) (They don't help my speeling any though, drat it!)

I will admit that I prize mine so highly that I haven't yet tried my
Patented VT-100 KIller Comination on them: A 50% mixture of 2 hour old
30 Weight French Roast and Carnation Instatn Cocoa (sans
Marshmallows). The Coffee acts as a Penetrant/Solvent, and the Cocoa
accrete to the moving parts.

Thankyou...

Allow me to suggest a large chocolate milk shake, poured into the
keyboard and allowed to dry for at least three days, if you really
wish to test the robustness of the keyboard.

I saw this happen to an 029 keypunch and learned some new word
combinations from the customer rep who showed up on the fourth day.

...Ah, the 029. The beauty of the 029 was the duplicate key, which you
could jam a fork in the sidegap to force it down, and provided you had
one card with *all* the holes punched out as a template, you could use
one to destroy all your old card decks and create a ton of computer
confetti in a very short time. Especially when it's just after finals,
it's late at night, and you've informed the cleaning crew that you'll
be taking care of emptying the dot bins. Ended up with five 55 gallon
trash bags full of confetti after one concerted raid on all the RJE
sites one year, and I wish I still had one bag at hand for special
occasions. Nowadays, there's maybe one 029 on campus for all those
worthless EE profs who're too stupid/lazy to put their old SNOBOL or
Minnesota Northstar FORTRAN IV decks on tape.

...And then there was the 026. Big, ugly clunker, Texas U had two of
them, one in Taylor Hall, the other kept getting bounced between RJE
sites much in the same way Moosylvania gets bounced between the US and
Canada - "It's not ours, it's *yours*, dammit!". You only used the 026
if all the 029s were full, and you were *desperate*, because the ugly
monoliths tended to chew one out of five blanks, and the punch on the
top row was slightly misaligned so "chadding" was something to check
for before you tossed your deck in the hopper.

As masochistic as it sounds, I actually miss doing programs via card
decks. Sadistic was probably the better word for it, considering the
looks of sheer terror I'd get from the RJE dorks at Taylor Hall when
I'd wheel in my 10,000 card decks on a dolley and then tell them I'd
be back with the second load in a minute...

In defense of the regulars, semi-regulars, and irregulars reading, it
WAS a holiday weekend . . .
