Comments on: Missile strikes ailing U.S. spy satellite

A missile fired from a Navy ship hits dying satellite, and it's likely the operation succeeded in destroying a toxic fuel tank on board.

AYE, AYE SCOTTY!....

HOW ABOUT BEAMING SOME PICTURES OF THIS MISSILE STRIKE LIVE BACK TO PLANET EARTH VIA IBM'S LOTUS SAMETIME "VIDEO" CONFERENCING!

ALSO, THE GUT FEELING IS THAT THE US NAVY IS RUNNING OS/2 WARP LIKE THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION DOES FOR THEIR SATELLITE LAUNCH PROGRAMS.

END OF TRANSMISSION.....

The Navy is running Windows not Warp

Actually, and this is really scary, a lot of the Navy's "smart ships"
are apparently running on Windows these days. An early version
of the software (Windows for Warships) crippled the USS
Yorktown to the point where it had to be towed back to harbor.

The next time you watch an old war movie like "Sink the
Bismark" think about our ships being "sunk" not by shells from
16 inch guns, but by a malicious email.

spam warning, Mr. Spock

Commander Spock's continual posts referencing OS/2 when it has no relavence to the story is nothing short of spam... unsolicited junk.

Please END your transmissions, Commander Spock.

"some such as Russia"... Umm, yeah, and most Americans!!

What on earth do they take us for?? Oh, that's right, SHEEPLE...

[sigzero]

So what?

Of course it was a test and a good one at that. I could care less
what Russia thinks about it.

hydrazine shower

I suppose you'd prefer the hydrazine to come down on your head?

[sigzero]

Heh

I know they used to. I set something up at one point using OS/2. I
hope they have migrated off of that by now as that was a good 10
years ago.

Logical Teachings,Thinking and Solutions!

Why would it not be IBM and their OS/2 Warp when IBM was there when Britain needed them to help with the U2's that were landing in London. Follow the logic teachings like the Russian Space Federation have done.

What on Gods green Earth are you even talking about?

What about my Sushi?

Is it safe to eat now?

If it was too dangerous to allow for re-entry

Then why in the hell did they launch it in the first place? Isn't that very irresponsible and reckless?

What would have happened if an explosion during launch happened?

Why don't people ask the obvious questions?

[Commander_Spock]

Hey "The_Decider"!

Would it not be even more "irresponsible and reckless" for the "shepherds to go to sleep" and not care too hoot if the "wolves" came at midnight and devoured the flocks. Did you happen to know anyone who worked at the WTC or at the Pentagon prior to 9/11?

[dmbyanks05]

not irresponsible

it was not irresponsible. that is the fuel that is used for sattelites and its was supposed to burn off while in orbit. But since it lost communication after launch it could not take orders on when to use its fuel.... therefor full fuel tank. it was not designed to reign down on people

[mikalg]

here is an obvious question for you....

Why would they build the "twin towers" if it was going to be destroyed anyway? 'er trade perhaps?

Are you serious with your question/statement?

I am beginning to really dislike you and your posts. At least it isn't Anti-MS related!
