Via the Daily Illuminator, apparently anti-missile systems are a factory option on Gulfstream jets. An extra $3M gets you a tail mounted device to confuse and deter heat seeking missiles. No word on whether it's a lifetime warranty...

Speaking of lifetime warranties, I just bought a down-filled NorthFace jacket for my daughter who is six years old and growing rapidly. NorthFace claims to have a lifetime warranty on the jacket. Do you think it covers outgrowing the jacket?

Nope but they do support the warranty pretty well. I did the dbase back-end for their e-commerce site and remember one of the North Face "inside" jokes being that their ropes had a "life time" warranty
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
