    I'm not saying the market doesn't exist, just that the marketing never seemed to match the size of the market. It's the old dirty open secret of the alcohol industry that their mar…

    It wasn't hardcoded. The exact mission parameters (mission clock, moon position, orbital parameters, etc) were uploaded by mission control the morning of the launch. From that poin…

    I do suspect they'll settle but I doubt it will result in a new contract. They've already made significant investments migrating off VMWare and none of those will snap back with a …

    This lacks perspective of the position of OP and people like him. For them, stringing together multiple full and part time minimum wage jobs is the norm. Not having health insuranc…
