Actually he *doesn't* say that it "left international relations between the US and Russian team on board the ISS at an all-time low"; he does comment about the state of play on the ground, though.

blame anyone/thing but yourself... never take responsibility for any situation. It's amazing how few people will actually own up to a problem and seek out a solution instead of blaming world+dog.

It would be interesting to know more technical details. IME corrosion is far more likely to cause open circuits than shorts. What was so different this time?
Re blame spreading: this is nothing new. Whenever a project has more than one supplier and there's a problem the suppliers ALWAYS waste time pointing the finger at each other instead of solving the problem.

It is nothing special. Any time you have more than one source for a computer system, the entity that supplied part A will blame the entity that supplied part B, and vice versa, for any problems.

why do y'all keep bringing up Hamilton? It's been too long since he's written anything new, and your constant reminders just rub salt in the wound:P
which reminds me, I've got to get my girlfriend to read the Mindstar books, I already got her to go thru the whole Reality Dysfunction.

Well, he _did_ release 'The Dreaming Void' this summer, but waiting for the second part of that planned trilogy is now going to be rather painful...
