Not all "nutters" are right wing it is just that the US ones tend to be a lot more vociferous on Usenet.

Of course man going to They intercepted the US mission telemetry in real time the same way the US used to do for Russian missions (though the US had to sometimes borrow Jodrell Bank to do it). At one point it led to a diplomatic incident when the first picture from the surface of Venus appeared on a UK newspaper front page before the Russians had been able to decode it themselves. > the moon really wasn't all that important an event to worry about some > old films and tapes.

I mean, > they were only ROCKET SCIENTISTS! So please tell me again that you I guess you have never met any rocket scientists then. Extremely high intelligence and common sense do not go together. Some bright spark at a place I once worked had an intern throw away all the old drawings for kit made ten or more years ago to make space in the archives. When the gear had a service lifetime of 15-20 years and every one was bespoke it was utter madness. > believe all this political bullshit about records being "lost".

We have plenty of old mainframe magtapes that were not maintained regularly from projects that are long obsolete. If you don't cycle them and refresh after a while magnetic print through renders them pretty much unreadable. Lots of archives have similar issues. I have a few 8" floppy disks with interesting historic stuff on too - but no reader. Lots of people have cut stuff to CD or DVD only to discover the media is not as robust as they though and their "archive" was write only read never. It is astonishing how many people skip the verify step. Losing the engineering drawings for the Saturn V rocket was a bit bloody stupid but I see no reason to believe that they didn't work. It would have been a stunning demonstration of mass hypnosis to fake a Saturn V launch. Same with the actual Apollo moon landing with the film making technology of the day going to the moon was easier than faking it. Besides I have handled the moon rock they brought back - the kit I worked on was used to date the stuff. > > It's sure you'll be the last one to learn because you aren't even > asking the right questions let alone looking for answers. > > I guess that makes you fat, happy and stooopid.

Did she tell you about the $20,000 she had knocked off the price before you even saw the house because of the swimming pool she hadn't yet dug? Would you have paid her for that as well :-)

She was told that no loan was available without the repairs. She couldn't afford to so them. If she had done them, the price of the house would have gone up at least 50% since it was zoned for business, and on a busy highway.. You do the math. > Did she tell you about the $20,000 she had knocked off the price before you > even saw the house because of the swimming pool she hadn't yet dug? Would > you have paid her for that as well :-) I wouldn't want a swimming pool in a house across the street from a huge elementary school and less than a block from a large middle school. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense!

If that is true, she is stupid. She could have obtained a short term loan to do the repairs and paid it back with part of that added 50% on the sales price. But in any case, "ifs" don't count when determining the sales price of something. A thing is worth what it is worth in the condition it is in at the time of the sale. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.

You think so? I was the only one who was interested in the property. It had been on the market for almost six months. The woman had no credit, and was living on welfare. She had three teenage kids. The realtor didn't even want to show it to me, because of its condition, inside. If I hadn't made the offer and bought it, she would have ended up in subsidized housing. This was 35 years ago, before they gave away money to people who couldn't pay it back. The realtor wasn't going to re-list the property. The woman's husband had died two years earlier, and she hadn't bothered to get it through probate. The house was over 100 years old and had a lot of broken windows. She showed me one of her utility bills for over $400. the highest I ever had was under $75, after the repairs. that included the electricity used by my repair business. I offered what it was worth to me, but if I had know it was going to take over six months for the probate, I would have kept looking and bought something else. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense! |
