Topic: Multiple Computer Failures on the ISS

[sam]

The main computer on the International Space Station failed early Sunday, and subsequent multiple computer anomalies prompted communication blackouts. The one main computer has two backup systems, and NASA reported that the three command & control computers are switching between prime, backup and standby. A software issue is suspected, and diagnosis continues. The computer system is critical to all aspects of space station operation.

I've never found a barber open at 8 on a Sunday morning!

I have a live-in barber.

He must get very bored.

She doesn't.
