Let me just say that, if you offer a trip to space as the companion event to drinking this water, I will drink and I will go.

What you need, son, is a homeopathic cure for your gullibility.
Evolution doesn't deal with life or death
You lack a realistic understanding of evolution, I'm afraid. Time for some remedial study.
++no
Sometimes a driver simply isn't available for Linux, QNX, VxWorks or other embedded OSes.
That is actually the best argument to avoid such hardware. Rely on hardware that is open standards based, then you can reduce dependency on proprietary drivers
The reason they have to stay with XPe is because there probably aren't any drivers for Vista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1 So much for the benefit of reusing XP drivers
On the other hand, I'm sure whatever is needed could be ported to NetBSD - which can probably also run on these things, as it runs on just about everything else, including toasters. Just sayin' that there's more to wide-spread hardware portability than just XPe.
This time only the bad guy died, but even him did not deserve capital punishment for a car jack

Nature -- specifically evolution -- disagrees. You don't get a vote.
So Tesla's anti-theft system is 100% lethal?
No, but evolution's anti-massive-stupidity system is pretty lethal. Less so nowadays, but... still.
"Hey, think I'll drive triple digits in a randomly active urban environment in a vehicle I'm not familiar with, while (justifiably) paranoid!"
... this is like saying "I stopped watering my houseplant, and at some point, it died. We don't know there's any relationship there."
My favorite line from a college Logic book: "Breathing causes death. Everyone who has died was an habitual breather."
Doesn't do you a damned thing if the lightning hits the power line a block down the street.
Also, in case you hadn't noticed, congress does pretty much whatever it wants of late. Interstate commerce? nah... Intrastate commerce is so much more fun to regulate. Warrants to search? nah... so much more fun to just search as is convenient. Property rights? nah... they'll take your land for commercial reuse, it's potentially much more profitable. Ex post facto law? nah... sometimes, that's just the thing. Shall make no law? Oh HELL no. Rights that shall not be infringed? Oh, ho ho ho, isn't that quaint.
"Jurisdiction"
...but it should also be pointed out that when you bring said mined assets back into the USA, congress does have jurisdiction, and that's what this law primarily addresses, although it may also have direct implications for how US government crewed spacecraft will treat US citizen or corporation owned spacecraft carrying cargo.
So, you believe if I can take it from you by force, it's mine?
You should really read more carefully. Overzeetop said "get it and defend it."
