MIL-STD-1394B

I was looking up the transfer speeds of firewire 800 when I ran across this gem in wikipedia.

 

Alternative uses for IEEE 1394

IEEE 1394b is used in military aircraft, where weight savings are desired. Developed for use as the data bus on the F-22 Raptor, it is also used on the F-35 Lightning II.[17] NASA's Space Shuttle also uses IEEE 1394b to monitor debris (foam, ice) which may hit the vehicle during launch.[17] This standard should not be confused with the unrelated MIL-STD-1394B, which is concerned with the construction quality of hats.

CD ROM drive every two minutes, reaching in vain for the restart button
that it'd never touch again.

I don't care what time in the morning your dogs woke you up. EVER!

They are your dogs. Presumably you 'trained' them. So stop whining, and deal with it.

"My dog[s] got me up at 6 this morning to go outside. WHINE WHINE et cetera...(insert mouth-breather dribble here)...coffee*" 

Why don't you look your mutt in the eye, punch it in the snout, and go back to bed. While you are at it, try some parenting with the same technique. The kid doesn't have a chance of integrating with normal society, so cripple him as much as possible and maybe he can wipe tables at McDonalds. </harshness> 

I especially don't want to hear about it from 3 cubicles away. STFU

 

damnit, now I'm just pissed in general
