So despite NeXT being a Jobs led company and working on NeXTStep since 1989 and Jobs pushing Apple into adopting that architecture for the next Mac OS, it's a "cheap way out"?
Except they were, they increased Apple's profitability, increased market share and brought in revenue that allowed Apple to develop iPod, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPhone, and iTunes Music Store.
Jobs didn't "shit can his own operating system", Jobs switched from the System 7-OS 8 operating system to Jobs own NeXTStep/Mach kernel approach
Doing browser and light word processing in Mac Office and Google Docs, I've gone 13 hours and 11 minutes between full charge and needing to recharge or else.
Overnight charges before a short trip are unreasonable. What if I need to use the car, "oh I can't drive my 101,000 dollar car tonight...it has to charge for 8 hours before I drive 265 miles."
Overwhelming the system with missiles isn't going to happen, the primary threat nation (the Russian Federation) has nuclear capable cruise missiles, ICBMs and SLBMs limited through treaties, when China has enough to be a threat there will be a treaty with them too.
I have to support a piece of software and IBM bought the company a few years ago, so when it came time to move to a new version I got to deal with IBM.
I spent 14 hours on the phone trying to get a price for a piece of software, most of the time I was shuttled around support people in India who couldn't help me, I was told that software prices were "restricted information", searching IBM's site for contact numbers got me developer's desk phones and they didn't know why the hell their numbers were posted on IBM's site.
Then I had months of weekly calls from sales people wanting to get a commission.
No, the agreement was for two sites, then the 1974 Protocol reduced the number of sites to one per party, largely because neither country had developed a second site.
The Moscow system was a site, the North Dakota system was a site to defend the North and South Dakota missile fields from the polar re-entry window. Had the US continued to develop Safeguard there would have been a site in Maryland/Pennsylvania to defend the DC metro area.
The Moscow ABM defense system is based on: ABM-3 Gazelle ABM-4 Gorgon Apart from the main Moscow deployment, Russia has striven actively for intrinsic ABM capabilities of its late model SAM systems and has deployed them around Moscow and St Petersburg S-300P (SA-10) S-300V (SA-12) S-300PMU-1/2 (SA-20) S-400 (SA-21 future) S-500 (future)
The Americans claimed there was development of another site at Sary Shagan, but it remained just a radar and testing facility for the Soviets.

I manage 44 devices in building that use iOS7, this week I've had 108 wifi connection issues on those 44 devices and it's only Tuesday.
The 121 devices running Mac OS, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Linux that I manage have had 0 wifi connection issues.
Except for all the success they had with iMac, Powerbook G4, iBook before iPod
Can I run Office on a Nook HD+?
Java?
WoW?
I got a 13", 1.3GHz, 8GB RAM, 256 GB hard disk.
Very impressed with the battery life.

The US military M67 grenade weighs 400 grams.
A small drone like draganflyer-x6 can carry up to 270 grams (like a small digital camera)
http://www.draganfly.com/uav-helicopter/draganflyer-x6/
And you still can't mount a Griffin (AGM-176) on a light surveillance drone.
The vast majority of drones owned by the Feds, law enforcement and military are sub-20 pound things like what Seattle PD tried.
Seattle PD used 3.5-pound Draganflyer X6 six-rotor helicopters
Those only fit on Predator (MQ-1) and Reapers (MQ-9), they can't put missiles on light surveillance drones
22 years come this fall.
His original plan was to buy a bunch of cold medicine, Jesse warned him off of that. The next plan was to steal materials for making biker meth

First of all, the US has had missile defense via missiles since the 1960s with Nike-Zeus/Spartan and Sprint
"AEGIS" is the combat system, the US Navy's missile defense is - Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, a subset of Aegis and on some ships

Remember that the hardware requirements for the rover were set in 2004, or when the PPC750 was 7 years old and the RAD750 was 3 years old.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAD750
The 740/750 models had 6.35 million transistors on a 260 nm process has a die of 67 mm2
The RAD750 has 10.4 million transistors, is manufactured by BAE Systems using either 250 or 150 nm process and has a die area of 130 mm2
My favorite thread was when the US/UK attacked Iraq in '98 and an author posted how bad and illegal it was and closed the thread to comments.
LOL - Oh hell yes.
I work in Special Education technology support and have talked to some Deaf/Hard of Hearing specalists about this.
A big chunk of the Deaf Culture wouldn't do it if it was free.
Many in the deaf community are against technologies that restore hearing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_culture#Values_and_beliefs
A positive attitude toward being deaf is typical in Deaf cultural groups. Deafness is not generally considered a condition that needs to be fixed.
Yes, it's so hard to tell the difference between a 1991 Camaro and a 2012 Camaro, who the hell thought that scheme up?
For people that work on cars/know about cars, they know a 1991 is a 3rd Gen F-Body while a 2012 is a Zeta platform
Yes, Microsoft is the poster boy for bad naming schemes
Windows ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, but at the same time they have Office 97, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007, 2010
But then other suites like VB Studio went 97, 6.0, .NET, .NET 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012

Hazmat is required because the vehicle carries hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine as fuels.
They know when you left the US based on Customs records, they send you a form and want to know what you made.
Not really, battery technology isn't getting that good, there are still huge infrastructure problems.
If anything diesel (which can be made from Natural Gas, coal dust, FT process, oil, etc) is the long term winner.
