Comment Re:She is rich (Score 2) 99

If he is that wealthy and, knowing her criminal liabilities, if he and his lawyers didn't draft an iron-clad prenup that protects all his and his families assets prior to the marriage, he would deserve being taken for every dime. Marrying someone for the prison sex is one thing; losing one's forture to them is quite another.

Also factor in the number of units sold to the Navy. This isn't like Cisco manufacturing a router where they can spread the R&D costs across millions of units. The number of helmets made is probably on the order of the number planes built, which is around 500. Further, since these helmets need to be customized to the pilot, it's unlikely that they built them to stock, but rather, as they're needed. Throw on the specs the helmets must meet, the amount of testing that goes on, along with the technology used, then slather everything with costs associated with military procurements and you will end up with a pretty hefty per-unit cost. $400,000-worth? I haven't a clue but expensive.

So we've got 5 Star Trek shows in the works and 7, 8, or 9 Star Wars prequels, sequels, whatevers, as well. This isn't innovation. It's not new ideas. And it certainly not exciting. It's whipping a dead cow laying out in the desert somewhere for the past 2 years in order to get a few more drops of milk.

It's done, guys. It's over. Time to let go.
