Posted by Hemos on from the the-little-plane-that-could dept.

bzant writes "TAM 5 The model airplane, (see our previous story), has successfully landed in Ireland. This was the second plane they launched. Other than some slow speeds and a concern over a lean fuel mixture the flight seemed to go as planned."

    You are making OSDN look bad. Step up and be big boys, for Christ's sake.


    I didn't know you could get +5 for being a Troll. Let's see if it works. Let's experiment with yet another controlled example:

    C'mon guys... umm you suck.

    You're a blatent karma whore and a merely so-so troll, yet you got a first post that craps on the slashdot janitors. I'd mod this up if I had points.

    I'd certainly be impressed if it managed to cross China without being shot down.

    Hey, you work for a communist superpower, you're flying a state-of-the-art fighter, and you've been doing it so much that you're actually bored. What better way to add a little excitement then gunning down an innocent robot? (Or maybe just flying by really really fast.) Doesn't hurt that it's from an opposing capitalist nation, whose citizens have enough money and access to technology to build such a device.

    That's right Communist China, my grandmother can build a cruise missle that can reach you from here!
