Video games pretty much don't exist for full-size consoles that need to utilize an entire single-layer DVD's storage capability, let alone portable games. Your point still stands that data caps make these things more difficult, but I can pretty much guarantee that no game will ever exist for this device (should it exist) that would exceed the 5GB mark.
If all you want to do is do the things you could do 10 years ago, you're probably not the target audience for a new laptop, of any kind.
Rather than playing 13-year-old video games with your $200 laptop, you could be playing games released this year on a new MBA. The fact that you don't want to doesn't discount the product, it just means you're not the target audience.
This, to me, is going to the ER without insurance. You can't just pay your premium that night to get care (otherwise who would pay it every month) because you "forgot".
At the same time, they're not going to let you bleed out on the street. They'll bill you an inflated price from cost, often several times more than your premium would have been. The same should have been done here. $75 obviously makes no sense, but 10 or even 100 times that?
Of course, there's the issue that many people never pay those bills at the hospital, but because this is related to property, there's pretty well known avenues for collecting that bill where this is concerned.
There are failures at every level here, and I'll admit the guy seems like a bit of a moron. But "watching it burn" is just downright inhumane. I don't care what the guy did or didn't pay.
Yeah, but when you go to a bookie and place $1 on a bet like that, he doesn't take $100 and put it in an envelope for you to be paid should you win. A book that did that would require a hell of a lot (read: an impossible amount) of money backing his operation.
The first two paragraphs of the Mormon entry reveal the use of the Bible, and belief in Jesus Christ.
The first two paragraphs of the Muslim entry reveal neither of those things.
Most exotic car owners own multiple cars - this probably isn't the vehicle they'll be taking on their weekend trips to Vermont.
In fact, it's a pretty smart niche. Most people that I know that own exotic cars don't even drive them every day, but rather only on occasion. The recharge time isn't a problem for those people, and neither certainly is the range.
No doubt this is true to an extend, however my point was that OP was suggesting that NASA is some sort of second-rate space agency, which is, even by your worst-case estimates, far from correct.
I believe that the explosion risk of a Li-Ion battery is more from it being exposed to extreme electrical impetus beyond it's tolerance, and less about heat.
Certainly exposing the Lithium to the water vapor in the air will cause combustion, but that's more of smolder than an explosion.

DHS != DOD
genital::herpes : std::herpes
Isn't that approximately NASA's plan going forward? Am I missing something?

I believe, where the launch of nuclear missles is concerned, "free world" might as well mean planet earth.

Thus the "Air".
Just because it doesn't work for everything, doesn't mean it doesn't work for anything.

Unmanned != autonomous
As far as I know, there are no deployed technologies that shoot [missles] or drop bombs without human intervention.
Emergency service is a little different from trash pickup. I understand what you are saying, but emergency services should never be optional.

$110 for metal plus paint plus installation. I'd guess the installation portion is non trivial in cost, much as it would seem trivial to do.
Anyway, if there are 240,000 signs, and they replace 8000 a year, it would seem that the average life of a sign would be 30 years, not 2-3.

Actually, TFA cites the 62 mile figure as well.

MMVII and MMVIII would like to have a word with you.
Replying to myself as my research indicates that the Boxster was made in 200hp models as recently as 2002.
How long ago do you think a 1991 Porsche 944 was made?

FRO = FKA. I fail.
So... who's spending more than NASA?
According to this the Chinese were spending about 1/10th of NASA in 2007. Does that make them the Royals?
JAXA comes in at around 2 billion dollars as well.
ISRO spends about half that ($1.23 billion).
Oh, who could forget about Russia? The FRO has a declared budget of about $2.4 billion.
Puny old NASA with it's $17.6 billion budget. The Mets indeed.
I'd say his chances, like 1/x as x approaches infinity, are already approaching zero.
