Virgin Galactic have some artists impressions on various web sites. They have a long term concept for a transatlantic semiballistic rocket. Maybe half an hour in transit. That kind of thing.
At my wife's uncle's funeral in Malaysia his family paid for two (2) days of professional crying. Seriously, nobody is going to sit out in the tropical sun crying if you can pay somebody else to do it for you.
As long as the radio is a simple embedded appliance I am not too fussed about it. I give it my bits and bytes and the radio sends them on. From linux on the moko I can flash the GSM module, but I feed it a binary blob. There is nothing to stop me coding up my own binary, there just isn't much reason to do it beyond improving factors such as power management.
they could increase the signal strength to something beyond the approved FCC limit for mobile devices.)
Doesn't seem to happen on the open moko and other free phones. The GSM module has its own processor and firmware. Rooting the processor which coordinates the system can't force the GSM module to do anything dangerous.
it seems like the industry is pushing me to larger, more complicated devices.
Its a free market. You can buy whatever you like. I don't know where you live but department and variety stores in Australia will sell you a samsung phone for less than 50 AUD, no contract. You can get the same phone for less locked to a carrier with a prepaid SIM. Just calls and SMS. Nothing fancy.
But OTH I just signed up for an LG Optimus. 20 AUD per month for two years, zero up front. No additional cost to me. It runs android 1.6 and has lot of pre-loaded software. So far its a very nice phone and I plan to start porting my openmoko apps to android.
But if they point to kernel.org and I fetch the code on a day when Linus is changing a power supply then I can go back to the manufacturer and ask what gives? What if Linus has blocked my IP address because of my notorious trolling on his mailing lists?
My reading of that paragraph is that the (manufacturer|supplier|distributor) have to directly provide the code, or pay Linus to explicitly provide it to me.
My LG Android phone has a long file of OSS licenses which detail which binaries the licenses apply to. At the bottom of the list there is a statement from LG that they will provide the source code to me on CDROM. It gives an email address I have to contact with my request. For me they are fulfilling with the requirements of the GPL by doing that. Now I wonder if the Telstra products have the same license window and if the ultimate supplier has filled in the statement at the end with the offer of the source.
My guess is that Google actually take care of some of this and provide a procedure to follow and boilerplate documents with some CM work thrown in. They don't want Android to get a bad name, I am sure.
Oddly enough a guy I work with is on a very interesting air traffic control research project. He was raving about some experimental immersive environment he had seen using a wiimote for input. I don't see nintendo suing over that.
The problem is the UI. The camera app kept getting itself into a funny mode and I couldn't see enough to reconfigure it. I can point the camera well enough without a viewfinder.
I took my son sailing on sunday and tried to take a picture in full sunlight with my new android phone. I couldn't see the screen at all. E-paper, even if it is slow and monochrome, would be quite useful in that environment.

Any plans for spaceshipThree?

Methinks more waiting is called for
If I wait any longer I will run out of time. So what if Robert Heinlein didn't predict the exact future? Lets be thankful for what we get.

firing a missile inside US coastal waters without proper approvals could land me in all sorts of hot water
Cold saline water, head down, straight up the nose.

In china you can hire professional mourners for funerals, so I wonder if you can hire professional hunger strikers.
How often is the power going to unexpectedly fail on a macbook air?
Microsoft and Nintendo both have that choice.

If they distribute the hardware they must make the source available. They can't just point to kernel.org.

test
var1&&var2 works but var1andvar2 doesn't
If we use and instead of && our secretary will understand how to code and we'll save milions!
Watch out for when your secretary learns to fly, then - for she's coding in Python and she's gonna import antigravity!
Well I hope she remembers to indent correctly.
Its new age cobol. I can hear the PHB now. If we use and instead of && our secretary will understand how to code and we'll save milions!
Less to carry.
Historically that used to work on windows. You could launch executables with the browser.
file:///bin/ls on linux asks me to save the file. Firefox here doesn't understand ssh though that may be implementation specific.
I can point the camera well enough without a viewfinder.
a very very bad one who can't tell the difference (or just doesn't care, I suppose).
Sure, its a quick, dirty snap on the boat with stuff moving everywhere. These days you can take ten in sequence and pick the best anyway.

"Its easier to port a shell than a shell script"
Seriously, a shell along the lines of iOS or Android could be easily written for Symbian.
