CygnusXII writes "Now this is a novel approach to Dual Mode Transportation. This is an interesting and refreshing approach, that could revolutionize the transportation industry. BladeRunner Dual Mode Transport, or see the main web page. The innovative vehicle will run on road as well as rail. It is as applicable to freight as to passenger transport. Branch-line infrastructure costs could be at least halved because signalling and points could be largely, if not totally, made redundant."

    Unfortunately for Digital, the only way they could have successfully contested the issue would have been to agree that their functionality could be described in similar terms...

    I'm not a litigious bastard yet am an American. Please, let us refrain from blanket stereotypes.
