"Why Nucular?
In English "Nucular" is a commonly used mispronunciation of the word "nuclear". 
We used this word to emphasize high power density of our controllers"

Interesting!  I's a curious name.  

Are they having a little fun with words?  That used to be a great tradition 
among tech folks, but I see less of it these days.  

Could they really be needling Bush a bit?  

Or is it just the fact that they're in Russia?  Sometimes non-native English 
speakers come up with curious names and/or unusual or incorrect spellings.  
For example, if you look online you can find a range of imported pet feeding 
and watering products called "Honey Guaridan."  (Look at that second word 
more closely.)

Practically speaking, their controllers seem to be semi-vaporware (proposed 
delivery of a KIT in 7 months?), so I wonder how Lawrence's friend got one.

    epitomized the history of the human race.
