  1. bad enough on NASA Wants You To Fly The Highway In The Sky · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its bad enough to have cars clogging the roads....

    Whats this going to come to...

    - Can't see the sky... too many flying cars

    - Try to get away from it all... go on a hike... flying cars are all over

    - They start to leak oil and anti-freeze... watch out below.. (or litterbugs)

    anyhow.... cars kill how many people each day ??? Fix what we got first.... and figure out the social impact before going ahead with this one..

    (then again... could open up some great back-country skiing.. but what fun would that be)

  17. Re:Coming soon to the Darwin awards..... on Pulse Jet Go-kart · · Score: 1

    not to mention on the roll bar above his head...

    Hate to see what would happen if he actually rolled it.. (already admits to doing 30+ mph with tough one handed steering and almost no brakes)

    Not to mention he had no one around to film... which means no one to get help when he is 50 yards into the woods pinned against a tree....

  18. Coming soon to the Darwin awards..... on Pulse Jet Go-kart · · Score: 2

    What some people do to get their jollies..
    Whatever floats your boat...

    So... I grabbed one of my midi-sized pulse-jets (about 30 lbs thrust) and bolted it to the side of the kart.

    As I mentioned -- the kart doesn't even have a seat yet so I clamped a piece of wood onto two cross-members to stop my backside from scraping along the cement.

    This board was also a handly place to lash the 20lb propane tank which provides the fuel for this jet.

    All is not lost...

    Although the shower peaks on June 27th, it takes place at lower intensities from June 26th until July 2nd.

    Although, yeah,, a little proof reading would go a long way on this site...

  23. Better links ?? on Adam Hinkley's IP Hindsights · · Score: 1

    Those unfamilier with the story link me, have no idea whats going on....

    From what I can figure, he started a company based on his code.. Then....

    Hinkley quit both companies in abrupt circumstances, in 1997 and 1998, leaving behind a confusing trail of intellectual property ownership.

    So he quit a company that he partials owns and started (but has investors in) and he expects to be able to take all his code along with him for no charge ??

    Please enlighten me further.....

    Customized Internet content is provided to a requesting client device using an intercepting agent based on the capabilities of the requesting client. The agent, typically at the web server to which the client request is directed intercepts a request made by a requesting client device for a file from a web server. The agent detects client device capability information about the requesting client device, such as display or memory capabilities. The client request is redirected to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) according to the detected client device capability information to retrieve a version of the requested file.
