Vacuum doesn’t suit SuitSat?
It appears that SuitSat was shoved overboard from the Space Station, worked for a very short time, then failed.

Presumptuous Microsoft
Something that annoys me is the presumptuous error message that appear with Windows XP after a reboot. I get a message telling me that the firewall is off and that I should click an icon to “fix the problem”.
What problem? I have a firewall ahead of the Windows box and so don’t want or need to use the internal Windows firewall on my small home-office network. So I turn off the Windows one. Why does Microsoft assume that it’s an error?
Surely the language could be more neutral and say something like “You may not realise that your firewall is turned off. Click here to adjust the settings”.
