$7 -$8 for cigarettes? Poor you. Try living here in England. You'd be looking at £5 (~$9). And £18 for that DVD! ($32!) I dread to think what UMD movies will cost when they are eventually launched here, if unlike one of Sony's previous attempt at launching a proprietary format for media when an alternative already exists, namely pre-recorded Minidisc, they actually show up in any quantity at all.
My airport, ATL, says it's not going to build a new runway just to accomodate this plane. Some other American airports have said the same.
Sounds like more sour grapes on the behalf of the americans. IIRC something similar happened with Concorde: we Europeans beat you to the punch with a supersonic passenger plane, so what doyou guys do? Ban supersonicflight over the mainland US (Despite the fact that until then you were developing your own SST).
Seems every time we beat you, you throw your toys out the pram and have a hissy fit.
