Most Powerful Amateur Rocket in Canada
Alex Schmidt writes "A group of Canadian 'amateur' rocketeers successfully launched a 16 1/2 foot rocket to a height of about 5500 feet. The rocket is based on the 'Dauphine' a meteorological rocket from the 1960's. The rocket weighed 300 pounds, stood 16.5 feet high and 21 inches in diameter. The motors generated 2400lbs of thrust. It successfully landed after 3 of 4 parachutes properly deployed."
Suckit!
...Is this terrorism?
WooHoo! FP!!!
Whoa, what's that thing in the sky? Rats, now I probably won't have FP. Boo-Hoo.
Mods, if you mod me down I'll do something very unpleasant to you - I WILL TRACK DOWN YOUR IP!!!
UP HER ASS.
So if there is a war and a draft, I don't guess going to Canada is an option?
If you like trolls or not, CLICK HERE (telnet)
Yes, because we all know that one developer on a project most people have probobly never heard of being an asshole completely determines the sucess of an OS.
(Yes, I know the parent was a troll, so don't bother to tell me.)
If you ever see a car with 1 KNm torque, tell me... How can people in the 21th century measure forces or torques with units like "a pound at the lenght of the feet of a old king" ...
And i still cant realize the beauty of a system of lenght units that convert like a*12=b, b*3=c, c*something=d.
how many yards are 0.34 miles? :)
HI O WISE PRINCE. WHT TOOK U SO DAM LONG?
Actually, the final step for linux to the desktop is not stability, or whatever, but a working GUI. Look at Mac, its pratically the same as BSD except with an exceptional GUI. Tell me where I'm wrong. Hardware support could be better though.
...until it can run Linux and save Ogg files... ..sorry, I'll go away now.
So rise up, all ye lost ones, as one, we'll claw the clouds.
