With the current trend in price hikes for fossil fuels, would this also be reflected in (presumably to be used in this vehicle) cryogenic fuel? If so, then a tank full of hydrogen is gonna cost a bomb (pun intended) and this will be reflected in seat prices. Hypersonic travel is going to be prohibitively expensive. If you're not in Government and taking bribes, or you're not obscenely rich to begin with, or you're not dipping your hands in someone else's pockets in some other way, or you're not flight crew, then forget about getting within spitting distance of one of these aircraft.
While I'm pissing on rugs here, what new infrastructure (if any) will be required to accommodate these skyliners? Ten mile runways?
All the DMFs yapping about FOX and this guy was modded off topic?
A Singularity may be the reason nothing will ever be found by us. Another being could be waiting for a comparable intelligence, rather than attempt communication with mere biologicals.
Not really a tech blunder but... Many years ago when I was a operator of an IBM 370 MF, I was showing a junior operator around the system console. My famous last words were "never, ever, ever press this button," as I proceded to depress the system halt button. Alarms went off, managers came running into the room. It was a mystery to all but me and the junior. We still laugh about that.
Maybe if the masses went out and bought a known protected CD when it came out then returned it immediately. This would not only send an anonymous message about your position on this practice, but it may give the record execs a false sense of the recording's popularity, at least for the short term.
I did something similar when I purchased a Zombie album at Wal-Mart only to find it was the edited version when I unwrapped it. But I just couldn't bring myself to touch the Celine Dion CD when it was discovered to be protected. Can you play these things backwards?

...only one small problem that I can see.

This seems like they're giving the finger to the Penguin.
Or maybe looking back from the future of the interface.
Whatever.
A guy at work was showing the cool live webcam stream of his front yard when the neighbor kid walked up and stole the webcam.
Funny as hell.
Is this a warning message to modders that the `owners of IP` have the ability to present viral attacks on their 'IP?'
