I don't see linux on that list.
Also, maybe it's just because I've never worked in that industry before, maybe it's common practice in rocketry, but is anyone else impressed with the use of sound triangulation to figure out which part broke? I've never heard of that being done before.

I am impressed that they were able to do this. I imagine that this would be difficult under the best of circumstances, but inside a rocket during a launch? That's not the type of environment I would expect to hear anything apart from the roar of the engines. I'm picturing 3D renderings showing simulated sound waves, experts trying to line up similar sonic wave-fronts to compute timings, and lots of computer time.
As far as Jerome Lemelson and the barcode patent are concerned, all the supporting technology was in place
That's nice, but what you are endorsing is no different than domain name squatting.
You didn't read my comment properly, so let me reiterate:
Patents should be for well defined, actual inventions, not vague notions.
Really this is what is wrong with the patent system. Now anyone developing engines using any kind of fusion is going to have a visit from Boeings lawyers over something they have done nothing to make work.
What's the point of filing now? Won't the patent expire long before we have a working engine?
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
