From the “Ummmm… Yah… Umkay… I’m gonna have to ask you what you did with the money” files… It seems that ISS (the orbity one, not the IDSy one) is having a bit of an issue with the combination of hardware and software necessary to keep it’s altitude adjusted correctly. You see, ISS was [...]

From the “I’m sorry, I fail to understand how your failed business model is my problem” files… This story about DVD sniffing dogs makes me just about hork my dinner onto my keyboard.  They’ve actually trained dogs to smell polycarbonates.  How is this ok?
