Lets be ridiculously generous and assume a scramjet boost phase could lift you to 155 km at mach 18. You have only gained about 5% of the necessary kinetic energy needed for LEO
Pardon my pointing this out, but NASA's got another idea on boosting...

Operational but not deployed.
Retired and not operational.
GS wasn't destroying systems,
Oh yes they *were*. I can't count how many times I had to clean up after those guys.
Hearing it was mechanical in nature made me call bullshit before I even saw the video.
A gyroscope flywheel is mechanical, yet would serve such a purpose. Mechanical gyros are used in spacecraft and aircraft.

Isn't there a pretty strict limit on the number of missiles it can carry? If an F-22 goes up with 8 missiles, it can only take out 8 targets (assuming all hit). After that, it can only bug out.
Depends on how good they are with that 20mm cannon mounted in the right wing....
The very concept that women need to be treated a particular way is a large part of our society's gender issues..
Women need to be treated with respect for their boundaries. The same as men. There's not gender discrimination here; men can and have been sexually harassed, but in a place that is 90% male it's less likely. You seem to be confusing what's prevalent with what's possible.
Did you just call DICOM proprietary?
Technically correct. It *is* a copyrighted standard, with the copyright being held by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. When defining proprietary software as "computer software licensed under exclusive legal right of the copyright holder", this standard would fall into that category.
The post actually presents an interesting issue (via the time.com link): why do corporations feel they have to take sides on the gay marriage issue?
As I recall, Microsoft's reasoning was made explicit at least once. MSFT believes that, by supporting issues such as same-sex marriage, it can attract the most talented gay people in the software industry as employees, who may see the company's support of such an issue as a reason to work for MSFT rather than a competitor.
Just look at how well that trickle-down theory worked during the war...
Put another way, who benefited more, the workers or the board of Halliburton?
Yeah, there's a tech glut in the area, which makes it just that much harder for a deaf guy to find work in the field.
There's a major manufacturer already using pads for their motherboards. It ships with laptop motherboard replacements. It's a pain-in-the ass to work with, peels from the backing tape badly, and is a lot LESS convenient (for me) than thermal goo.
He can call the van the "Q-Bus". Now, how cool would that be?
It's all fun and games until John de Lancie gets abducted in one...
As long as I have an out, if other people don't know or don't care about their security/privacy enough to protect it, I don't feel any special obligation to punish a company that exploits their ignorance.
....aaaand that's why we have Fox News...
Yeah, try "Phoenix, Arizona"...
