Wouldn't this concern be nullified if the original leaked documents are even slightly changed prior to release? From what I understand, any modification would render any encrypted messages unreadable...
Glad someone else is stepping up to the plate. Development on such equipment could easily lead to civilian hypersonic aircraft, getting rid of 15 hour flights to Australia and such. Also sparks research on better ways of space travel, as the scramjet is closer to being space capable than a traditional jet engine.
Please explain for the unwashed masses how a scramjet is closer to being space capable? Doesnt it require a funneled input of compressed gas to function... gas that I assume is not too abundant in the vacuum of space?
TiVo has long since confirmed this was a practice since delivering that Janet Jackson's infamous Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" was the most replayed event in TiVo history.
Instead of levereging the core Playstation fanboys to allow MiniDisc to solidify itself in the next generation of portable devices (aka PSP), Sony instead launches the terrible UMD format.
It is now a year or so after the launch of yet another Sony media format (this time with the option to repurchase all of your movies on a smaller, more restricted format!) and Wal Mart hardly sells the UMD movies that Sony tried to push down their PSP early adopter throats.
Disclaimer: I do own a PSP and a DS Lite. Both systems are nice, but the PSP really feels like it missed the boat.
Sony could have solidified their apparent estranged relationship with the MiniDisc format in the US and world by releasing a PSP that could read from/write to a media that would be truly funcitonal and flexible.
Instead they handicap the PSP with the FRAGILE, piece o' crap UMD disk and a newest-flavor-of the month Memory Stick Pro Duo X3- now faster and even more expensive memory!
My prediction: Sony will lose (loose for most Slashdotters) yet another format war.

One more word (besides Betamax): MiniDisc.
