@gizmofan: If Osama Bin Laden did not exist, we would have to create him. Do you ever wonder why Bush de-scoped Bin Laden?

@∞Gïmmï∞Mørgäikkøŋëŋ∞: Lockheed Martin is not capable of competing with General Atomics with regard to price, performance, and program execution.

@Arcane: But, alas, this drone would never obtain certification to fly in civil airspace for it is lacking the necessary fault-tolerant avionics and software integrity.

@MrSmoofy: I keep a firefly in a bottle.

@zinyman: General trend with all newspapers due to downward quality of education (t'is more important to not tax billionares). Certainly this generation could not feasibly put a man on the moon, not even with all the cheap computing power available.

@meatbag_pussrocket: I remember when NeXT adopted 2.88 MB floppy support. The reset of the world did not due to the rise of CD-ROMs. Perhaps USB 3 will fizzle due to the rise of Light Peak?

@blackscreen: 2012 is a long way from "this time". Intel currently does not offer USB 3.
