BV I don't like the word "Anomaly" I like screwed up better. Anomaly
to me means something that is abnormal.Like being irregular,being deviated from the rule. When Apollo 13 had that explosion its commander did not say to Houston we have an "anomaly" I think the Spirit tripped over a small rock with its spindly stemmed front wheels,and lander on its receiver. Bert |

Bert I disagree. Anomaly is a perfect term. "Screwed Up" implies that something is wrong with the rover, IE it fell over a rock. Malfunctioned implies that it failed in someway, IE a blue screen of death because of a buffer overrun. We cannot confirm the cause the of the problem, just that the rover is not functioning properly, IE this is an anomaly. Now, if they find out it tripped over a rock and malfunctioned because someone didn't tighten the Finnegan pin holding the flux capacitor in place, well then...that is just screwed up.

(EST), (G=EMC^2 Glazier) interrupted with: BV I don't like the word "Anomaly" snip. Anomaly to me means something that is abnormal.Like being irregular,being deviated from the rule. From http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=abnormal and http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=anomalous and http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=anomaly [Alteration (influenced by ab-1), of obsolete anormal from Medieval Latin anormlis, blend of Late Latin abnormis(Latin ab-, away from; see ab-1 + Latin norma, rule; see gn- in Indo-European Roots), and anmalus; see anomalous.] " Deviation or departure from the normal or common order, form, or rule." So abnormal = anomalous or an anomaly You don't like the derivation of the word then? Or NASA is quite right to use the word in that context. -- While the Hobbits may be proud of spreading the "art" of smoking pipe-weed, I would imagine that nowadays the Shire might be the seen of many a class action lawsuit.Aaron Clausen on news://alt.fan.tolkien |

BV NASA will never know it tiped over or was hit by a meteorite. It will
always be an anomaly because NASA likes that word,for it tells nothing. NASA has an anomaly between its ears. It fits for there is nothing there. NASA has only one thing to say "WHERE IS THE MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Bert |
