Forgot them long ago. Atlantis was a good show overall, but they had the second most terrible villains of any scifi show I've seen (first place being the... wraiths? seriously? ...of DS-9. Maybe it's something with the name...)
Somebody really dun goofed. I happen to work in the outbound side of Amazon these days and I can only think of one or two ways that managed to slip the like...four different places where that should have been caught.
Interesting. The address was mine, but the name was someone else's. If the purchaser entered the incorrect shipping address, how could that have been caught?

My local pharmacy has just installed a new electronic signature system that I swear is some left-hander's revenge on the world for making him use all sorts of right-handed things. The stylus is mounted on the left, and there are a bunch of buttons right where I'd normally rest my hand when signing (whereas left-handers write overhand, and so wouldn't have that problem).
Excellent book, once you get used to the units.
Flying spaceplanes in KSP or Orbiter is always a bit weird: I'm used to using SI in vacuum (or with tower and capsule vehicles) and KIAS, miles, and feet of altitude in atmosphere, but the default instrumentation in both only gives SI with true groundspeed. Last I checked (with Orbiter 2010), surface MFD in Orbiter had an option for IAS, but it didn't seem to work right at altitude (IIRC, at high altitudes the reading was always too high). So I'm always having to convert units in my head during atmospheric operations.
Well, the book in the above post was written in the Apollo era and uses English units.
However, it also uses something you likely haven't seen in KSP or Orbiter: canonical units, such as earth radii and so forth. There is good reason for it, when you go through the text and problems.
One of our devices went offline, as it turns out because the SD card died. And it died utterly and completely. As in, sd card readers don't even register that you inserted anything when you plug it in. I've never seen anything quite like it. It's like the insides of the card don't exist in the same reality anymore. Like, I've never even seen a floppy that was that far gone. What happened to that card? :blink:
Let me grab a rifle and some survival gear and go hunting for a mythological monster that does unspeakable things to SD cards. I think that's part of what I'm getting payed for. Maybe should check back with the boss first...
There are many possibilities, most of them producing a condition where the card fail to react in any way to any signals from the host, essentially making it appear like the slot is empty.What happened to that card?
And that reason (or at least one of them) would be that μ (the standard gravitational parameter) is simplified to equal 1 when generic distance and time units are used.Well, the book in the above post was written in the Apollo era and uses English units.
