Don't take this the wrong way, but have you actually fired a rifle?
People wearing armor who take a shot get a very nasty bruise. I can put 50 30-06 rounds downrange and my shoulder barely feels tender the next day. Keeping in mind that the armor really only stops pistol calibers, and my 30-06 wouldn't even care.
You might think so at first - but think about how you hold the rifle, and that all that mass is external to you.
Now, consider that the projectile striking your armor is not going to just push you - there will be a shock front (depending on how much contact you have with the armor, this can be transferred right into you) causing pain, bruising, and possibly other injury.
Example with my sledgehammer again: Imagine striking a steel plate with the sledge, while someone leans against the other side. Your hands will sting, maybe after a few strikes your wrists and such will start to get a bit sore. The poor sap on the other side of the plate is going to be having it worse off.
I sincerely doubt it goes to anyone who needs it. You've seen the costs of one political TV ad? Not a whole lot of people are involved in that for a whole lot of hours.
and trying to write it off as irrelevant or whatever your angle was is silly.
I wasn't. "Comparatively" was intended to contrast their desktop numbers.
Also silly is the comment about "code already there"-- EVERYONE does this, from RedHat to VMWare to Adobe any other company that sells multiple tiers of its software product.

SSH does not contain telnet. Doesn't apply.
It's still not legacy, as it's unencrypted HTTP as soon as the SSL/TLS layer is removed.
It's not nit picking if you're correcting someone who's just plain wrong.
False. If your protocol includes encryption out-of-the-box, it's an encrypted protocol.
Plain text HTTP is on its way to becoming a legacy protocol.
No it's not. What do you think that SSL/TLS session is encapsulating?

Do you even understand what I said? Non-sequitur.

Doesn't make it right.
Might well be a good place to drop this link...
Damn. That's a lot of cash that could have otherwise been put to useful purposes.
.NET and/or IIS lunacy? Not that you're missing out...
OK, that makes more sense then. My mistake...
Dammit, VIRTUALIZATION.
When the hell is Mozilla going to put that in the default en_US dictionary already?
$4k to enable visualization support (that the code already is there for?)
Yet MS wonders why they have such a comparatively tiny market share of the server market...
Maybe you should grow a sense of humor.
That still seems like a rather large amount. I'd be expecting maybe a quarter of that?
Ah, thanks. For some reason my brain was ignoring the vector of the intermediate area and I was only thinking of the end of the string.
Of course cheaper isn't a reason on it's own, otherwise you are condoning stealing because that too is cheaper.
Ignoratio elenchi and stupid at that.
I can't see a sealant layer adding any weight of significance.
Can paper be used?
It's not the shape that he's concerned about. You want some give and flexibility, else all the kinetic energy of a projectile will be absorbed.
Sure, it might not penetrate you, but neither does a sledgehammer. You still wouldn't want one of those to the gut, would you?
Why? There should be little to no tension on the line at rest.
"Surprise buttseks?"
Sorry. Couldn't help it. It practically wrote itself.
THIS THIS THIS THIS.
Someone needs to mod this up.
