The equipment may be fine and up to date (though missile versions vary widely), but that doesn't mean the operators are up to snuff.

Umm, it's pretty trivial for amateurs to track space objects either in Earth orbit. For SDI to work, both the number and size of the systems would be quite large. And they would need to be replaced when they either fail or run out of s

I think it's important to bear in mind that the Saudi defense forces for decades have been show forces; they buy expensive gear, then fail to maintain and train on it.

27 Megaton sized warheads would be a significant problem for the USSR assuming their penetration aids helped them avoid the ABM system protecting Moscow. Also, France had more than just their IRBMs; they had submarine launched missiles as w

Definitely. If someone foolishly chooses to work for the government, where dealing with the proletariat is unavoidable, they should work in the crappiest of environments. I don't think we should even provide chairs, they should be stan

It's pretty clear from the movies that Magneto was a Holocaust survivor. I'm pretty confident that Musk knows this, and was clearly peeved that Soros had recently sold his T$LA holdings. The man's pettiness knows no bounds.

AB 1591 was signed into law not because Reagan supported gun control in general, but because the Black Panthers had been conducting armed protests in 1967. 12 years after signing the Mulford Act into law, Reagan diminished the act; "I

I'm assuming both that you're arguing in good faith, and that your ability to use search engines must be seriously impaired. So here goes: 1875 - US v Cruikshank. Held that states have the ability to regulate firearms independent

SCOTUS held quite a different view of the 2nd Amendment for many many years until the efforts of the NRA and gunmakers succeeded in altering this in the last 30 years.

I disagree with the parent post entirely. Most people in 1995 didn't know what the Internet was going to become. It was a geeky thing that most didn't use. Speeds were slow, most people thought gopher was a small rodent, etc. And

You're conflating the Internet with the walled gardens that were dominant at the time; AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy etc.

Democracy is inherent and implicit in a republic. And I think you're mistaken about "constitutional republic." That term really wasn't used much, though representative democracy and "democratic republic" were t

Modularity really doesn't work with ships. For the LCS, the idea was to have mission modules that can be swapped out depending on the ship's role. However, the entire idea is flawed. First, you need crew trained on these different

I was literally fired while recovering from cancer surgery because the company I worked for was selling itself to Wimba (who in turn was selling itself to Blackboard). My company wanted to reduce headcount to look better for Wimba. Screw th

You're 100% correct about the time factor. I finished my 900 sqft basement including electrical. Everything was perfect, and the inspector was kind of blown away. The reason was because I took 2 years to do the whole basement, and if I

When I worked in the restaurant biz, I made friends with our HVAC contractor. He service nothing but McDonalds in SoCal, and made pretty good money. He had a steady supply of reliable (paying) customers who didn't treat him like crap.

Please don't post easily refutable lies. Camry MSRP is $26,220 Model Y is $46,990 I would give you the benefit of the doubt that perhaps you're not using US prices and Camry's might be 76% more expensive where you live, but I

So if you "can't assume you can trigger a system" in this situation, you rely upon an automatic system, not a RSO. Which is exactly what SpaceX did. I'm sure this was fully documented in the approval process.

In corn country, it's common to have young kids do "detassling" at a young age. While machines can assist, there's no way to avoid having to do some of the process manually, and detassling is essential for high yields.
