Comment Re:Why is it to huge? (Score 1) 37

I mean back when I was still using Windows, I once tried to get it as small as possible by boot-formating a disk and putting in more and more files until it came up. I think I ended up comfortably getting it onto a normal HD 3,5 inch "floppy". It's not that hard. Though I have never actually looked into Windows 7, but I can't imagine it's so much bigger than Windows 3.1.

I did this as well with Windows 3.11, but it required using Stacker/DriveSpace (can't remember which) and also using XDF to increase the capacity of the disk from 1.44 MB to ~1.8 MB. The end result was bootable and it could load Program Manager.

Comment Just acquire the Overture (Score 1) 74

If Boeing is looking for something more innovative than their existing designs, they should consider acquiring Boom Technology to obtain their Overture supersonic plane, and then scale the production of it to reduce costs and improve revenue passenger miles. There's already an order backlog for the Overture as well.

Here's a video of the final XB-1 demonstrator test flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
