50,000 feet is easily within reach of missiles. So other than areas where there is already full air dominance, I would not expect to see these in combat situations. As a communications and surveillance platform it holds a lot of promise.
I'm retired, and some days I'm busy with things I have to do and some days not. I've been a Netflix member since they started and have a Roku so I can watch streaming movies on my TV. Sometime I watch 3 or 4 movies in a day and sometimes I just sample a movie that turns out to be crap and I'll rate it crap. That still counts as a movie rated even if I only watched 30 minutes of it before deciding it was crap.
I also go through the list of movies and rate what I've already seen on DVD or in the movies. I don't know how many I've rated, but it amounts to a fairly large amount. What can I say? I'd rather watch a decent movie twice than daytime TV. BTW, just checked and I've rated about 1500 movies.
Disgusted? Why? If it becomes common enough, it will become cheaper, and maybe someone will get the bright idea that if tourism is cheap there must be another way to make money here, like space stations functioning as hotels with a permanent crew. A crew that might survive a catastrophic event on the Earth. Then maybe they'll get the idea that maybe we should go out to the asteroids, mine them and make some more money, and so on, and so on.
At this point we're getting no place fast, if there is a business side to the equation, it just might speed things up.
The more crap that they stuff into a TV, the more they charge.
I have a large screen monitor that is hooked up to my computer, my cable box and a Roku device. If the monitor goes I'm only out the price of a new monitor, If the computer or the Roku device or the cable box goes then I just have to repair or replace that one item.
I just built a Ubuntu box and installed Boxee so why would I need to buy a separate Boxee device?
Since HDTV has reached a saturation point where almost everyone has one, they have to throw out some new technology so that early adopters have something to buy

And why IBM is out of the computer building business today. Too much competition from IBM clones.

Absolutely right. I'll wait until Google makes one available, probably free

Yes but where can I get a pair of red/green glasses? I lost mine a long time ago. Maybe they're under the couch.
I'm so ashamed

The idea is to play a game "in the cloud" so that you can play it on your Atom core Net Book. Still I'll believe it when I see it.
No heat? Surely you jest. Maybe you me Cold cathode lights, but the last time I touched a flourescent when it was on it was plenty warm.
Boom
Made the guy a profit and spurred a second printing!
Sounds looks like a mind freak. Big build up, no pay off

Hey, I saw that on TV, like 57 times, and it keeps getting funnier every time
