Nope.
Memory is soldered on. Onboard storage is soldered on. CPU is soldered on. Video card is 100% custom design, impossible to buy elsewhere.
You are buying essentially a $3000 disposable aluminum can warmer.

The ironic thing is, if he had stayed onboard he probably would have crashed and died. The blast of his ejection probably forced the plane nose down. Without that...

Now conversely, huge fat fuckers whom you'd expect would be horrible in the water are quite buoyant.-This is why if you are ever involved in a cruise ship mishap, all you'd have to do is tether as many fat people together left onboard after all life boats are gone. If there's one fat guy big enough, you can use him as a personal, shark-feeding flotation device....

@dag Thanks for the reply. I really do appreciate it. If it's in the best interest of VideoSift then it's in my best interest also. I'm onboard

They must be talking about using space to get from Europe to Australia, as friction is a real bitch otherwise.

Possibly, although I think its somewhat more likely they'd just be flying at very high altitudes where the atmosphere is very thin.


From what I read on wiki it seems the engine is basically rocket/turbine hybrid. They use liquid hydrogen as fuel but instead of storing oxygen they suck it out of the air. The problem the cooling fixes seems to be related to supersonic airflow. Turbine engines need subsonic airflow to work properly so they use a ram, a cone on the front of the turbine, to slow the airflow before it enters the engine. This heats the air entering the engine up a lot, hot air takes up more space and so its difficult to get enough oxygen to the hydrogen fuel. Cooling the air after it passes over the ram lowers the air pressure and allows more air to pass through the engine. Scramjets approach this problem a different way in that they can operate with supersonic airflow, although they have the limitation of not working subsonic.

Anyway. Its quite fascinating. I don't think we'll be seeing commercial aircraft using this technology anytime soon though. I'd be pretty nervous about flying on something that is basically rocket powered. Space tourism maybe? If it can fly to high altitudes with the turbine and then switch seamlessly to using onboard oxygen it could be a much more efficient way of getting into space without using onboard oxygen the whole way up.

Oh, and RIP Concorde. I used to go to school under their flightpath out of Heathrow. 11am on Wednesdays they used to rattle the windows passing over.

I don't know, I found Crysis 2 to be one of the more enjoyable pure shooters in recent times. The hi rez and DX11 packs on PC also pushed the graphics to beyond console levels.

I did miss the openness of the original title (obviously due to limited onboard memory of consoles), but other than that it was pretty dope, imo.

Thanks for posting :

Really, do they NEED to add the fake crash and tire-squeal sounds? I'm certain those onboard cameras don't have microphones (what would be the point? All you'd hear is wind and noise)...
