How old is the technology used by NASA? Or by SpaceX? It goes back in time to the chinese gunpowder rockets, or if you want a recent equivalent: "In the autumn of 1929, Oberth conducted a static firing of his first liquid-fueled rocket motor, which he named the Kegeldüse. He was helped in this experiment by his students at the Technical University of Berlin, one of whom was Wernher von Braun, who would later become a giant in both German and American rocket engineering from the 1940s onward" taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Oberth
I'm looking forward for newer technologies, but as of right now, that's all we have.
The cargo is quite valuable because it is so difficult to get it in orbit (long waits and very very expensive). If there wouldn't be such a long wait, and it would be less expensive to launch it, probably companies would accept a much lower "readiness status" (like "it will work with 90% assurance" instead of the 110% assurance they want now.
Overengineering isn't always good - you could buy a car that will work for you 15 years, or you could buy two cars that will work for you seven years and a half.
Sometime it's cheaper to accept accidents than to go for absolutely secure, absolutely perfect. If you could send 5 payloads for the price of two, with a 20% chance of failure, you still have four payloads.

Losing one engine is no longer a reason to detonate the rocket.

Not to mention that some times, accidents can block the railroad traffic for hours (or even derail the trains themselves).
Well "educated" kids are smarter than thought. You have to give your kid "work on experience" to develop its skills - let it run when it's little so that he'll develop balance and strength, talk with him to develop its vocabulary (and teach him that talking is appreciated), be happy when he does something right (or at least better than how he did it before).
Oh, and by the way, all those "age limits" are variable, and depend on the child. One of the greatest poets here didn't talk until he was four years old.
He made objects that look as guns and use rubber bands to propel lego objects.
I used PVC tubing to shoot cones of paper (and even experimented with using needles in the paper cones). I've also used rubber band slings and I've also thrown pebbles.
I'm no better than he is at this shooting things, just that I didn't make them as toys (and I admire him for the desire to and the results).

As someone who played it a lot said one: "I quit because I've had a pedestrian in front of my car on a small, twisty street and for a moment I wanted to hit it".
By what I know, he never played Carmageddon again.
10+ liters per 100 km is about on par for a 10-15 years old european sedan in busy city traffic. For the same car, 6-7 liters per 100km is typical at 90-100 km/h.
Newer cars do better (but city traffic still takes a toll, as it is very dependent on car mass).
Atom/VIA should not appear in the same sentence as the 6-core AMD chips:).
The first dual cores from AMD are enough to give Atom or VIA chips a thorough stomping (in anything except VIA's hardware implemented encryption).
Because a company's bad 10 minute, or one man having a bad day, isn't usually leading to the demise of that company (things that could easily happen in sports, like overturning a 2:0 score to a 2:3 score in the last 10 minutes of a play). Or self-inflicting a goal, or taking a suspension (a red), or even colliding with a team mate (like the goalkeeper) and be taken out of the field on a stretcher.
Hyperthreading was pretty clear - some processors had it, some don't. However, the "Virtualization Technology" was tricky: some versions of the E7400 and E7500 had it, some didn't. The same for E5400 and E5300.
"Which is probably close to 90% by volume"
I think AMD is still capacity-constrained (can not make enough processors to satisfy all the demand). This surely was the case in the pre-Core2Duo days.
AMD's current (and latest) IGP isn't better than the IGP they launched two years ago. As for promises, I've had plenty from NVidia, I'll wait until Fusion is in stores.
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
Don't expect to have high quality, high performance open source drivers as people high in the company will think the information revealed in those drivers will help the competition
Yes, heat is going to destroy this thing if they want to make it a Fermi plus an overclocked Extreme Edition processor.
However, if the graphic performance is limited based on available (main) memory bandwidth (from which the main processor also takes a chunk), they don't need more than a quarter of a 5850, and starting with a 65W TDP processor, they're in the 125W TDP (where they released plenty of processors).
If they drop graphic performance even further, they could get a desktop processor and a normal desktop graphic card under 95W TDP (and even mATX boards support/supported 95W AMD processors).
Intel's on-processor graphic in the i5-661 (the fastest on-board graphic from Intel) is trading blows with AMD's last generation (and current generation, as AMD didn't improve performance of its graphics core over its last generation).
If you're refering to an add-on card from AMD/ATI, then by all means the Intel IGP is crushed (just like the AMD's IGP or NVidia's IGP)
The 6-core Intel processor is the Extreme Edition (always was introduced at $1000), and frankly smokes every other desktop processor out there. AMD is the value-choice - they're cheaper at the same performance point, but they don't really compete in the over $250 desktop arena. On the server front, Intel's introduction of Core2 based Xeons allowed it to compete again, and right now AMD is leader only in some cases in server performance (some are draws, but most I think go to Intel). Too bad, as server processors were producing a lot of money for AMD. Intel is also leader in performance/watt, due to a complex power delivery architecture and better processor production facilities. Meanwhile, AMD competes where it can on the processor front (but ruled the previous 6 months on the performance graphic front).
Polygamy is a forbidden subject with an (european) history of almost two millennia, and America is (in many ways) not different at all from the Europe (especially in those old forbidden subjects).
There are advantages in woodframe buildings - they're lighter than masonry (simple foundations), they're quick to set up (a couple of days or a couple of weeks), you don't have to carry so much mass to the construction site (like tons and tons of bricks and mortars and water), they don't have to dry after being built up (a typical 60-70 square meters apartment will have about 10 cubic meters of finishing concrete/shotcrete, which makes for about a ton of water that needs to evaporate from the walls).
On the other hand, brick walls have advantages too - they're load bearing (even on a non-load-bearing brick wall you can fix suspended furnitures), they're simple to build (although slow), and can be built of modern materials (porous, light construction blocks).
