His original plan was to buy a bunch of cold medicine, Jesse warned him off of that. The next plan was to steal materials for making biker meth

Overnight charges before a short trip are unreasonable. What if I need to use the car, "oh I can't drive my 101,000 dollar car tonight...it has to charge for 8 hours before I drive 265 miles."

First of all, the US has had missile defense via missiles since the 1960s with Nike-Zeus/Spartan and Sprint

"AEGIS" is the combat system, the US Navy's missile defense is - Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, a subset of Aegis and on some ships

Overwhelming the system with missiles isn't going to happen, the primary threat nation (the Russian Federation) has nuclear capable cruise missiles, ICBMs and SLBMs limited through treaties, when China has enough to be a threat there will be a treaty with them too.

Remember that the hardware requirements for the rover were set in 2004, or when the PPC750 was 7 years old and the RAD750 was 3 years old.

The 740/750 models had 6.35 million transistors on a 260 nm process has a die of 67 mm2

The RAD750 has 10.4 million transistors, is manufactured by BAE Systems using either 250 or 150 nm process and has a die area of 130 mm2

My favorite thread was when the US/UK attacked Iraq in '98 and an author posted how bad and illegal it was and closed the thread to comments.

LOL - Oh hell yes.

I work in Special Education technology support and have talked to some Deaf/Hard of Hearing specalists about this.

A big chunk of the Deaf Culture wouldn't do it if it was free.

Many in the deaf community are against technologies that restore hearing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_culture#Values_and_beliefs

A positive attitude toward being deaf is typical in Deaf cultural groups. Deafness is not generally considered a condition that needs to be fixed.

Yes, it's so hard to tell the difference between a 1991 Camaro and a 2012 Camaro, who the hell thought that scheme up?

For people that work on cars/know about cars, they know a 1991 is a 3rd Gen F-Body while a 2012 is a Zeta platform

Yes, Microsoft is the poster boy for bad naming schemes

Windows ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, but at the same time they have Office 97, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007, 2010

But then other suites like VB Studio went 97, 6.0, .NET, .NET 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012

So an advertisement.

I really liked Norton Commander and Norton Desktop back in the day.

Also, MacOS around 7.6-8-8.1 but with right click enabled.

I have to support a piece of software and IBM bought the company a few years ago, so when it came time to move to a new version I got to deal with IBM.

I spent 14 hours on the phone trying to get a price for a piece of software, most of the time I was shuttled around support people in India who couldn't help me, I was told that software prices were "restricted information", searching IBM's site for contact numbers got me developer's desk phones and they didn't know why the hell their numbers were posted on IBM's site.

Then I had months of weekly calls from sales people wanting to get a commission.

Hazmat is required because the vehicle carries hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine as fuels.
