Not specifically a tech issue, but affects numerous tech products as well.
What really drives me nuts is non standard screws intended to prevent you from opening your device. (Unless of course you have the special magic screw driver.)
I really hate these. I love opening things, to fix them or just for the fun of seeing how they're made. I bought it, it belongs to me, don't prevent me from trying to have a look inside if I want to.
Am I the only one who is worried about NASA now announcing plans to investigate 'new' technology for super low cost re-entry vehicles. As a bonus, the vehicles can be folded flat to take up less room on the trip to space and can be stored for emergencies at the ISS.

At the risk of opening up some sensitive old wounds here, if you had more than one of these...
would they be called LIGOs?
