Well this guy decided the market wasn't filled enough, luckily =) He's built the by far simplest and most functional mini Remote Controlled unit. It weighs under 7 grams, is made of carbon fiber and it's smaller than your thumb (or a hamster, as the author seems to prefer to compare). Go check it, it's truly a amazing feat."

    that has to be one of the fastest /.'ings ever. I tried to mirror the page when there were only 3 comments. Got through the index page at 1kb/sec then died (and the index is fairly uninteresting w/o pics).

    Another hobbyist's site decimated by an irresponsible unwarned link from Slashdot.

    Its good to know we have teh power to single-handedly drive independant servers off the net by eating their bandwidth and overloading their systems.

    Hazah for pro only hosting!
