  1. LAMP stack for robotics already exists on Needed: A LAMP Stack For Robotics · · Score: 1

    Can you say BeagleBone?

  2. explanation on Huge Triangle-shaped Spot Over the Sun · · Score: 1

    It's having a baby. That's not a vortex funnel, that's the umbilical cord.

  3. Why bother fighting it? Ubuntu on The Recovery Disc Rip-Off · · Score: 1

    When my hard disk or computer looses Windows or if Windows needs to be reinstalled, if I don't have a disk, I just install Ubuntu.

  4. Re:Beta on Google Android Interface For the Chevy Volt · · Score: 1

    If you can get a Volt up to 100mph, I bow to you. :)

  5. redundancy on The World's First Commercially Available Jetpack · · Score: 1

    It's pretty cool but it should have redundant engines. Engine failure is inevitable and it'll cause injury. They have ducted fan helicopters in Avatar (James Cameron's recent movie). That's similar to this except the Avatar copters had tail rotors and a vertical stabilizer. I suspect that it's a bad design choice since ducted fans it may not auto-gyro. For the jet pack, I don't think there are many applications for it aside from just screwing. But perhaps a cool discovery gets made while developing that stuff. Maybe they could cook up a VTO (vertical takeoff and landing) ultralight that has a wing and can also fly using the wing. I saw the comments about using flying things in place of cars. One huge issue is that cars already use too much energy. Thing that fly are even more demanding for energy. So where things stand now, I doubt airplanes will replace cars for a long while. Things that fly will be better for stuff like the airlines and military are already doing for a while but not to replace cars.

  6. unlock on Facebook Rewrites PHP Runtime For Speed · · Score: 1

    If they would just unlock my account I'd say they of a great site... I find that the client side is slow but I've never really had any issues with the back end speed.

  8. nonsense on Legislator Wants Cancer Warnings For Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    There are a lot more warnings they should be working on before they should be putting warnings of stuff that isn't proven. They should warn not to drive using a cell phone. I'm sure there are people who actually are killed from than.

  9. is this also an example of open source? on Open Source Hardware Projects, 2009 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I consider my model airplane design open source because I made the plans available. People have built them all over the world and have added revisions to the plans. Is that what makes it open source? Here is the URL: http://www.rubber-power.com/

  10. older people on Facebook ID Probe Shows Things Getting Worse · · Score: 1

    Younger people are looking out for their parents. Older people aren't. Also older people have more friends. They've had more time to accumulate. Further, old people are less biased about who they connect to. If you approached somebody at a dinner party, do you think an older person or a younger person would be more open?

  12. counting or timing? on Ants That Can Count · · Score: 1
