Did you even read your own article?:

FYI, the main reason why the F-22 is banned from export is the software. Put simply, it has zero security. You can dump the whole system simply by walking up and plugging a laptop into it (it uses FireWire, so cables are cheap and plentiful) and running the right commands. It’s inherently permissive, because it was…

Actually, the 747 was optimized for *cargo* because it was assumed the new upcoming SSTs would take over the passenger market.

The main reason they’re going to replace the radar: it and the ECM suite interfere with each other. That’s right, when the B-1 turns on the jammer, it jams itself. It’s been a known issue since the type entered service.

People say 2000, because that was the baseline and assumed you were 1) meeting the recommended exercise guidelines, which is way more than what actual people do, 2) a typical height and build and 3) a man.

Trivial or not depends NOT on the fact this is happening, but whether or not the “should be” test values are great enough to bump the exposure levels into hazardous levels.

Yeah, but I still expect more 3rd party stuff.

Well, the Boomers elected 25 years of people who would rather cut their taxes than keep up their roads. So chalk that one up to their mooching, sucking ways.

Well, *somebody* at EPA is probably aware (my guess is Walter Peck) but that doesn’t mean the whole agency is aware, or that even among the aware, that everyone agrees it’s a nontrivial problem, never mind something that should be a major priority.

I know, right? There’s way, way fewer quality solitare games in the Windows Store than you think there’d be. Who doesnt equate video solitare with Windows? I mean, even Android circa 2009 was better equipped.

No, it’s not 2014 anymore. 1TB SSDs don’t cost $500 in their entirety, never mind that much more than a 500GB model.

While silver itself is mostly harmless (mostly), it’s usually found in rocks containing arsenic and lead. You wouldn’t want to consume much of either.

Fun times, for sure. Thankfully, pretty much all Cold War fallout had precipitated out of the sky by the late 60s, and 80% of that strontium has decayed into stable zirconium.

And you can still get 2 stealthy F-16s for the price of 1 F-22.

The reason why we don’t have more F-22s is because (in 2016 dollars) they still cost over $200 million fucking dollars a pop AFTER all economies of scale were realized and R&D costs were paid off. And that’s also without all of the mods we added after production shut down.

“But it’s also useful to remember Rubio’s stances on things like abortion, given that he has a very, very real chance of becoming the nomine”

No, the Trek universe appears socialist, libertarian and anarchic all at the same time (or to different people), but that’s because (by using those terms in the first place) you’re viewing it through the wrong lens.

If anything, nuclear power is more expensive than desalination. And desalination plants, at least, get completed on time and on budget.

There could be as many as 5 designs. They’re aiming for some commonality in engines and systems, but that’s about it.

At these prices, getting two separate DSL subs and splitting or aggregating the load might make financial sense.
