Not that magnetohydrodynamic drive exhaust is undetectable but from my understanding, the only way we'd ever see a "signature" is if the engine were pointing directly at us. Given our size, constant movement, and the minuscule amount of ions actually released the probability of ever detecting anything is probably infinitely close to zero.
Which sucks. We spend more money on defense in a year (~680 billion in 2010) than the entire budget of NASA combined ever (~500 billion....again....ever)
Great point. Does WebMD really have their license to practice medicine? How about FreeCreditReport having having a CPA license? For that matter...is Wikipedia legal in Missouri? All of these sites are available to help, at the users discretion. None of them guarantee accuracy though all of them are regulated to a point where their usefulness outweighs their potential inaccuracies.
If you don't like it, hire a real lawyer/doctor/accountant/nerd.

In fact, if he hits mach 1 at a high enough altitude, I bet there's still no sound of the molecules hitting your feet/wind resistance. The sound isn't the issue. If anything he'd need to find a way to slow himself OR insulate himself as the heat from friction would increase as the density of the atmosphere increases.
I just hope that whichever dummy they drop (plastic or Austrian) they strap a bunch of sensors on so we know how to prepare for the next dummy.

Source? I'm curious what law specifically. This would be a hell of a stretch for any lawyer to claim first amendment on this...
p.s that was both pedantic and shallow....and also a smidge of sarcasm
The same way it carried the coconut

Actually, I have never pirated. But I have downloaded
Yep, and I've never smoked, but I have inhaled
Mosques on Mars: Starring Bruce Campbell.
I'd watch it.

What if the car is in the driveway?
On a related note, for those of you that prefer metaphors over math, I suggest watching this: http://www.ted.com/talks/brian_cox_on_cern_s_supercollider.html
Who's on first. I don't know's on third.
A meme is a meme, it seems, it seems.
I've thrown all the feeds from each of these sites into Google Reader. In no particular order:
wired.com
slashdot.org
spectrum.ieee.org
scientistscanvas.com
arxiv.org
techcrunch.com
techdirt.com
news.discovery.com
physicsworld.com
newscientist.com
physorg.com
nationalgeographic.com
scienceblog.com
I have plenty more. Any RSS feeder app works. You get some repeats but there's a constant stream of science news.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Archer moments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS-7zTzrSAA
IBM awarded Microsoft a contract in 1980 over Digital Research's OS (DR-DOS) -- so IBM picked Microsoft and used MS-DOS to develop PC-DOS.

I can't wait for that last one to show up in Google Trends.

What legal right is there saying that "after the first sale there are no contracts that can be bound to that product?"
Not if their contract says otherwise
