    I first heard this story from the BBC. It was silly then and it's silly now:

    Call me a skeptic, but when an aviation company that employs a dozen or so engineers proposes a multi-billion-dollar research program that spans more than two decades with the goal of creating a Concorde-like product that people weren't so hot for the first time around, I have to wonder if one of the dozen or so spouses in this scenario is a BBC reporter.

    In fact, I'm having a hard time coming up with an idea that couldn't be operating within 25 years. Perhaps the BBC [or Slashdot] should have reported on my infant butt-washing machine (basically a blender with fuzzy brushes for blades) or my high-pressure marshmallow fire extinguisher, both of which should be relatively bug-free by 2030.

    Full post.
