If you really want to know, it is because English is such a bastardized language that has "borrowed" from every other language it has come in contact with that every single spelling or pronounciation rule has its own exceptions. There are no rules in English that haven't been broken.

I thought he meant the underside of the ball itself being dark.

Interesting example of something that looks so amazing that you'd be forgiven for thinking it must have been faked, but when you do a little bit of research, it turns out that, well, yes, it was actually possible to do it for real.Actually, it looked fake to me because of most balls having no shadow of itself on it. Each ball would not show a shadow from itself because the balls are translucent. At least that's the impression I got.

Some quick research on this problem points to faulty ram. Try reseating the ram, then switching slots on the ram (especially if you have more than one chip) and then if you have more than one chip, try each one individually. As a lst resort you could try to downclock the ram and or processor. Also if you do still have access to the other drive, you should easily be able to find your favorites, address book and mail. It should all still be there.

I heard around 150 people die each year from falling coconuts. That's much more than from shark attacks and of course proves that its more dangerous to stay on the beach! ;D

Good point. I was of course basing my reply on major failures.

I'd do it in a heartbeat. Heck, 150 people die each year from falling coconuts but that wouldn't stop me from going to a tropical beach.
If 2 had failed, then yes definitely as they would have closely scrutinized the program if it is still running and would be so scared of the public fallout of another failure that everything would be extremely well checked. If 5 out of 20 had failed (or 10 or 15 or all 20) I doubt the program would still be going as public opinion and any oversight committees would have shut it down long before it got to that point. Look at the shuttle right now. Its future is already uncertain. Another failure now and it definitely will never fly again. Even if they could certify it 100% safe after another failure, public opinion would doom it. Public opinion is what ultimately runs these things.

Stick with it, time will prove us right. Only if all the laws of science that have proven you wrong are somehow completely wrong. How is it that rockets work again?

Yep that sounds about right.

Mine is classified and only given out on a need to know basis. At least that's what the HB's think. ;D
Actually it's really just a short abbreviation for "freak of nature" that I tried out years ago and use everywhere as nobody else on the net ever uses it. I have since found out it is also a Latin word but I can't remember what it means. Nothing special though.

And he'd review the better footage available on the DVD, the explanation for the maneuver in the ALSJ, and their dialogue at the time and conclude you were full of it.

The shuttle is still accelerating but I would think not by that much. Rather, the foam accelerated in the opposite direction from the relative wind.

Not just the increased likelyhood of a solar flare would be a problem. The general background radiation would build up over the length of the mission and could be a concern as well.
