some of the so-called mistakes aren't mistakes at all. The successes are never publicizedYeah. Well, eventually the results speak for themselves, don't they. And our intel has't exactly been hitting it out of the park lately.

Agree. I may just obtain the book in due time.

I worked for a photolithography company for many years. I have seen hundreds of works of “art” on wafers. Too bad much of it was in scribe lines so it was destroyed when the wafer was sectioned up.

Oh I dunno, we haven’t had a major attack in the US since 2001.

It’s really seven years and (nearly) five months old, to be a little more precise. ;’)

And, from the other end, I worked on constructing gas pipeline compressor stations. The pipeline was in place well in advance, with the intake side terminated in a pig trap and the discharge side terminated at a valve -- to which we ran several hundred of feet of new line from the compressors. That line was elevated for cooling the gas before the compressed gas went underground.
I would not have been too hard to overspeed those two high-speed centrifugal compressors and blow out that elevated section...
But, doing so would mostly only disturb the rattlesnakes, jackrabbits and kangaroo rats that inhabited the remote New Mexico desert where the station was sited...

Thanks for the ping. I wonder about some of the big Soviet space rockets that blew up on the pad.

Note: this topic is from 02/03/2004. Thanks Valin. See the "in reply to" link for blam's additional story. Just an update for the GGG list, and I thought I'd ping The Usual Suspects instead.
