I'm almost positive there are more specific exceptions for these sorts of operations, but this is the best I could find. 14 CFR Sec. 91.135 covers operations in Class A airspace, and paragraph (d) reads:
ATC authorizations.
An operator may deviate from any provision
of this section under the provisions of an ATC authorization issued by
the ATC facility having jurisdiction of the airspace concerned. [emphasis added] In the
case of an inoperative transponder, ATC may immediately approve an
operation within a Class A airspace area allowing flight to continue, if
desired, to the airport of ultimate destination, including any
intermediate stops, or to proceed to a place where suitable repairs can
be made, or both. Requests for deviation from any provision of this
section must be submitted in writing, at least 4 days before the
proposed operation. ATC may authorize a deviation on a continuing basis
or for an individual flight.
So it seems you can just write a letter and get an authorization to operate without a clearance.
Right side up, upside down -- it's got nothing to do with the direction of lift. I see folks fly inverted at well below escape velocity all the time. They somehow manage to stay in the air, in spite of your suggestion that flying upside down produces negative lift.
Replace "one third engineering" with "one third aerodynamics", then -- it's closer to what I meant anyhow.

There are more than just aerodynamic obstacles. How much fuel do your designs consume? What sort of load are they capable of carrying? I bet I can make ten different planes that fly from here to the moon in an hour, with no useful load and at a cost of four trillion per launch. Not to say that your designs aren't practical -- I'd just like to point out that designing airplanes is one third engineering and two thirds economics.
3/2 may be a fraction, but not at all in the sense meant by "fraction of light speed". Entry number three from dictionary.com for "fraction" reads, "A small part; a bit: moved a fraction of a step".
If I've learned anything about Slashdot over the years, it's that you shouldn't take seriously anything the editors say (this includes the moderator guidelines). Remember that this site began in someone's free time, and I don't think it's grown out of that. Slashdot is still pretty ragtag in spite of its commercialization. But I think that's a good thing.
Truthfully, I read the moderator guidelines once a long time ago, and I can't repeat a single word. This site is recreational and I treat it with a corresponding degree of seriousness. If you ask me, anyone who ranks Slashdot moderation as some kind of civic or moral duty deserves to be pissed off every now and then.
Of course, I do think making snide comments in story summaries is kind of stupid, perhaps even uncouth. But what the hell. It's just Slashdot.

Ya'all are a bunch of lightweights! ;-)
10.3.2 is running fine on my TiBook.
So it seems you can just write a letter and get an authorization to operate without a clearance.
I'm also running 1.1.1 with 10.3.1. WebKit may have been updated, but it's just a framework, not an application. WebKit is not Safari.
I guess we know what the question is now: How many minutes does it take for CmdrTaco to post a dupe?
I have only this to say: WWJD? JWSTFU.

It should be noted that 1000 feet above ground over a congested area rarely meets paragraph (a) of that section.
Yeah but this thread doesn't have an autorelease pool.

I don't know what's worse: the plagiarism or all the people who have taken this post seriously!

You may commence the offtopic mods.
Yeah, I don't get it either. Whatever...
Then it's a good thing the FCC has nothing to do with airworthiness certificates. ;-)
BZZZT. Try again. Unless that Powerbook of yours is dreadfully old, the UI is rendered by your graphics card.
Yeah I guess you're right.
Yes.
YHBT. HAND.
Oh, gee, well that changes EVERYTHING!
Dude. System Preferences, Login Items, Add. Calm down, have some dip.

I'll bet that guy works for Verisign.
