If the leak is slow enough, you don't have to. Have it limp back to friendly airspace while another heads out, and fix it on the ground. Or, if it can't make it that far, maneuverer someplace the enemy can't reach conveniently and self-destruct.
Because the first assumption that I made when I saw the summary was that the US government was intending to use it to keep the US people under observation.
You obviously have never played RTS games with the Fog of War on. And even then the information is much better than what battlefield commanders have to work with.
Considering modern Mig's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan_MiG-35) can reach approximately 62,000 feet already, having a missle go the extra distance from there would be relatively trivial.
But at what cost?
The missles aren't cheap, and neither is the costs of sending the plane up there (fuel, maintenance...and don't the higher-end planes that will be capable of reaching that altitude cost more in every way?). If the blimp costs $20,000 and missiles are $50,000; $ENEMY could have a problem.
If you have been having compatibility issues, have you tried OpenSuSe?
My (permanent) Linux experience started on openSUSE almost two years ago, and I was nearly driven to tears over dependency hell (Everything was out of date! Wesnoth, BZFlag, Firefox, OpenOffice...all a version or three behind!) because I didn't understand the paradigm of repositories. After a month I had almost given up when I decided to try out this new version of another distro that had been released a month before, called Ubuntu...br>
It was sufficiently up-to-date for me to settle down and learn this new system.
IIRC, the (American) Sign Language gesture for 'apple' is very similar to the sign for 'dirty sex'. 'hungry' and 'horny' are identical except for length of gesture, speed, and repetition. Usually a teacher will warn you about such pitfalls so that you don't make a fool of yourself conversing with native speakers.
Slashdot Mirror
we're gonna deploy a whole free as in freedom mesh network of self-powering dirigibles and interface them with LINE OF SIGHT radar
Hmmm... What ARE the regulations regarding line-of-sight transmissions?
Well, people here are saying from that altitude it would look about as big as the moon, so...

Too impractical, I would think.
Why not use hydrogen and get substantially more lifting power?
How much more? Enough to bring it out of reach of more planes? If not, why bother?

Ability? Not for third world countries, illegal immigrants, or football games (yay Goodyear Blimp 2.0!)

This goal is beginning to lok feasible.
I thank you misspelled a word.

Or April 1st? (April Fool's...)

"Oh no, don't vote for Obama, he wants change"
I never heard that phrase as anything other than sarcasm/cynicism.
Well, the LHC is a 17 mile compensation...
What about the possibility that the Higgs doesn't exist? How would that be proved?
Good god, I hope this doesn't become a long-running meme (especially the misspelling of "heard").
GNU too?
Anybody have any figures for how Red Hat (and Canonical) are doing?
Or stick it in the next room over...
I propose something more limited, such as having the SCOTUS review any and all claims of national security.
Wait just a second while I submit 4653 FOIA requests, all of which will get a "national security" response....

How's your elbonian?
Linux with ARM is superior to Windows with Intel x86 in this platform and target user group.
How's Gnash or SWF-Dec doing these days?
So what do you use for coding?
It goes without saying that I learned how to keep my mouth shut without even being presented with an explanation.
I didn't.
So... much... sunlight...
