I don't think that's much of a problem. At least not for transatlantic flights. The pilot could take of at a slow speed, get to the right altitude and heading and then fly full speed, until he crossed the ocean. Slow down and land.
But I doubt such a plane could handle even slow turns at mach 7. Turning would make the plane slightly less aerodynamic. At such high speed this could cause severe stress on the plane. but I'm not an aircraft engineer.
Yes, some time ago this was already mention in one of the previous articles about Lego.
And since I have a photographic memory for useless facts I still remember.
Mach 7 is velocity. The only thing you could feel is the acceleration. But flying at mach 7 would feel the same as flying at mach 0. (Excluding external influences). You would only need inertial dampeners when the acceleration would be high.
Inertial damperners aren't exactly that hard to build. Consider that the inertial force is proportional to both mass and acceleration, the only thing you would need to acomplish is reducing mass to near zero. I'll leave that as an exercice for the reader.
Why do they call it "copy protection" when it prevents exactly that?
And where do I download the copy protection circumvention program?

Now this gives me pause for thought. What if an alien civilisation were to base it's opinions about terrans on MS Windows.. I know what I'd think - ripe for conquest!
I think they would think we worship the color blue. Why else would it appear so many times in our OS?
* Go outside alone. Don't bother to carry any kind of weapon, at least, none your actually able to use.
* If you hear a strange noise, go look for it.
* After you killed a zombie, stick around and chat with whoever happens to be around. You can trust zombies to stay dead.
I always give this advice to people around me. It's the perfect way for me to deal with any kind of flesh eating zombies. Killing them with collestorol, they never suspect that!
We've use E-voting for the last few years in Belgium.
The process is simple:
* First you get to wait a long time in a long line. (unless you spend the night in a disco, come home around 7h30 and then leave immediatly for voting. The line is a lot shorter then and you make a good impression on the elder people who think you got up early)
* Then you hand your ID card to one of the victims of democracy (citizens who get the "honor" of spending a whole sunday working for free in a voting office) and you receive a bank-card-like electronic card (a boring plain white one, but it has a big black arrow on it).
* Then you get to vote on a computer with a light pen (not even a touch screen, the cheap bastards). Insert the card in it, vote and then get it back. (You can check its honesty by re-inserting the card)
* Then you put the card in some sort of card receiving machine and get your ID card back.
* Afterwards you can either spend the rest of the day watching polls on TV (Who ever tought that a show about which city has counted how much % of the votes, would be intresting enough to spend a whole sunday evening on it?), or find something better to do.
Already I feel the tin foil on my head being penetrated by THEIR MIND CONTROL RAYS!!!!!
You still use tin foil? That's totaly obsolete. Get our new glow-in-the-dark plutonium foil hat.
Guaranteed to protect permanently against any kind of mind control rays after only 5 minutes of use.

(Keep away from children and rogue nations)
(Do not dispose of in open flame, in fact do not dispose of in anything but a lead container)
(Do not store more than 14kg of plutonium hats in same space)
(lifting Plutonium Foil Hats stylish lead package might cause permanent spine damage)
One day the US government will make it law for every US citizen to wear clothes made out of these bendy wires, working as sensors. This way the government can monitor your every action.
Ah, that makes me happy not to be a US citizen. Living in Europe has saved me from all those tirany things the US has invented over the last few years. Like the DMCA and...oh wait...

Do we get to vote about who gets picked as a volunteer?
Indeed, MS products have a superior number of bugs, a superior rate of crashes per unit of time and a superior use of HD space.
Why install a second door if you could use one clear door? (like those refrigerators in stores?)

Wasn't it Aluminium with iron oxide? I thought it was a redox reaction.

Actually, by posting as AC you tell something about yourself. e.g. you don't want to take responsibility for what you say.
The same way you share underpants.

I don't think they are saved. I guess they are reused. There weren't any large stacks of cards anywhere near.
How to deal with zombie hordes:

* If you hear a strange noise, go look for it.
* After you killed a zombie, stick around and chat with whoever happens to be around. You can trust zombies to stay dead.

I wonder if there isn't quite a lot of porn in those countries. A simular situation as in the 19th century in England.

Yes, but still after all this time, they haven't found me. Guess I'm going to make it a bit more easy:
HEY! I'M OVER HERE!
Now, if they still can't find me now, it's hopeless.
The hydrazine is only used while fabricating the LCD, it doesn't stay in it.
It's used as a solvent to put a layer of TnS2 on the substrate.

Anal probing? Last time I was abducted by aliens, all I got was this lousy T-shirt.
Doing research on beer in space. Hmm,is it me, or are you trying to make science more attractive to youngsters?
Now if only I got funding for my research on saturday night related activities.
