Build Your Own Roller Coaster

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday March 13, 2002 @03:48PM from the things-not-to-tell-your-life-insurance-company dept.

Usquebaugh submitted this link to a guy who built his own roller coaster. The guy builds grain elevators for a living and - let me take a wild, city-slicker guess - they probably use some sort of rail system for transporting grain, so.... Update: 03/14 14:29 GMT by M : We overran the bandwidth limit on his webpage - sorry buddy! From the comments below I see a mirror and another mirror.

At least all the facts seem to be straight... and I don't believe it's a repost :)

Heck, I'm from Indiana, Corn Country, and I've never been THAT bored!

...yeah, I grew up in Kansas, and for real fun we'd get on top of the house to watch the tornados.

This site has exceeded its limit of 3 Gigabytes of transfer for the month. You may buy extra Gigabytes of transfer by logging in to the user menu and choosing "upgrade".

What happens when your site is smaller than the "over the limit" message? Whats up with bandwidth useage then?

For the record I am not gay. However, I do enjoy the company of men.

Dude, first off, cool site (I took a look at the unauthorized mirror someone posted a link to; sadly, I was not in time to view the main site before the Almighty Hand of Slashdot smushed into a fine pulp.) I'd probably kill to have the free time to make a roller coaster. Does the builder have any plans to open-source it? ;)

And, second, a note to the Commander of the Tacos (flagrantly off-topic):

You ever thought about giving priority linkage to the subscribers (say, release the links to submitted-but-not-yet-approved sites so that they can get there before the slashdotting)? I know that, right there, would get me to subscribe. In addition, even for us non-subscriber schmoes, I *really* hope you never start using Flash ads; the Flash plugin for Linux opens /dev/dsp in blocking mode (even if the ad has no sound), so I have to stop (no, not pause, stop) and restart the song I'm listening to every time someone uses Flash. With the number of Slashdot pages I look at in one sitting, it really gets to be a major PITA.

It's screwing up the page size, BTW, fix this bug slashdot. It's cool to post about MS bugs, how about this crap ???
Wheat beer is rare by child_of_mercy · 2002-03-13 18:13 · Score: 2, Offtopic

Ahh the humour of ignorance,

Ignoring that the vast majority of beer is made of barley...

Having once brewed beer up from raw malt (and malting the grain is a long and painful process in itself) I'd be more worried out for a man who lives near a liquor store.
