Nobody alive today will live to see it for sure - or their children, either. Maybe with fusion power and some radical unforeseen leap in battery technology that could make an electric airliner possible, but fossil fuels are drying up (not that we can afford to keep burning them anyways) and large-scale biofuel use won't get along with a heavily populated planet.
The economics also don't make sense. With today's fuel prices, only a couple thousand of the world's hyper-rich could afford such a thing (that's why the Concorde was canned) and they'll have private jets of some kind anyways, who would use it?
I'm a fanboy? Of what? Tell me, guy who thinks Apple "isn't even close to MS" (as in less) in terms of being evil. The same Apple that brought curated computing to the masses and rules their developers with an iron fist, demanding a piece of the action whenever money changes hands. The same Apple that abuses patents in ways that Microsoft was only parodied as doing.
I've always wondered why air-launches like this aren't more commonly used, it's been known for a long time that they're much more efficient than a conventional ground-launched rocket.
The Concorde will never be replaced. It was horrendously expensive and in the same league of complexity as the SR-71. It was given to private industry for a song and a dance after a horrifically expensive government-funded development and build process. The Concorde was always horrifically expensive to fly on, more than first-class tickets on conventional airliners.
The super-rich will have supersonic private jets soon enough, but there will certainly never be another supersonic airliner. Us proles will never fly supersonic, although Boeing is working on a near-sonic design that could actually make sense.
Well we were talking software...I drive pretty open cars (no OnStar, no lockouts like the Nissan GTR has, no electronic limiters of any kind), I have a TV but only use it as a computer display, my cell phone is an N900 (running the CSSU release with open replacements for some of the few stock closed apps), I watch rips that came from DVDs or Blu-Rays at one point but I don't think that counts...
I was also looking at the artificial horizon teardown, wouldn't the pitch indicator jam if the plane did a loop-de-loop? I guess the "fast erection" button would reset it.
There are online pedo support groups on darknets. You have the right intentions so I think you'll be able to pick one with a helpful crowd with similar goals. There are some listed on the TORDIR.onion site. And yes you should be proud for keeping yourself from harming others.
You go to a psychiatrist, why not let him/her know? You haven't committed a crime (apart from looking at child porn, to be safe, don't admit that) so I don't think it would be required to have it reported. Your condition might very well be curable if you can get help.
You're right about most of that but McCain still would have bailed out GM. The US government likes to keep GM around for the industrial capacity in case WW3 breaks out somehow. GM knows this and takes advantage of the fact.
Charity is a bandaid over the wounds of capitalism.

Wait, wait, I don't think Mars needs any more CO2:

Hey, Earth has lots of extra CO2! :D
Before cheat codes made the games more fun for lowsy players, but today they make them more fun for poor players!

Yep, still not nearly as bad as Apple is today though. Not even in the same league, a new league that Apple created.
I was thinking "Cambrian Park."
Or more like Cambrian Petri Dish, in this case, but that's 3 words...
No wait I bought Win7 for my gaming PC a few years ago.
A year? I'm probably closing in on a decade now...
Huh surprisingly simple.

I don't let enough bugs build up that writing them down would make sense. Although my personal projects are generally small.
Eat that, fascism!
An MS shill provides useful information for once. How's your wife Jenny BTW?
But that's not vulnerability of wireless networking in general.
Not to mention the privacy issues. Cash is very hard to impossible to trace. NFC is at least as trackable as a credit card.
Stupid argument, can be used by Android fanboys as well, or for any closed *nix-like system...
Block, yes, spoof, no. Try spoofing a keyfile-secured SSH connection between a laptop and a wireless router.
