Star Wars missile intercept fails for fifth year running

They solved the targeting problem in the '60s with the Nike Hercules missile system.

If you can't hit the target precisely; just explode a 30kt nuclear warhead on the trajectory - that should take care of it !

R is ready for big data

I love R especially it's data.frame structures and have been using it for the last 5 years or so for data analysis and plotting.

However in that time, I never been able to persuade any fellow electronics engineers to adopt it :

95% never progress beyond the mindlessness of excel and the other 5% use MATLAB.
