I gather that the microphone batteries died at that point and no-one there 
noticed you weren't streaming audio any more.

Although the de-compiler only with an "edit/run" cycle might appeal to some 
but there would be difficulty in getting that sort of practice accpted in 
the High Integrity Systems market-place, where they insist there is a design 
and decent documentation before you get to coding.

I am sue the GA144 stuff would have been interesting to hear but sadly I was 
one of those denied hearing his words on that. Did they have any other 
cameras on for Chuck's talk that may have recorded his entire talk?

Anyway, now going to watch the special "Sky at Night" on BBC4 in a few 
minutes. This is on the Rosetta mission and more about the Philae Lander 
(which I didn't hear Chuck mention).
