  1. so strange it's GOT to be true! on Japanese Researchers Test Flying Trains · · Score: 1

    The amazing Howard Hughes invented WiG in 1947 , he just didn't realize it.
    And he did it with a plane made out of wood , like some sort of super caveman.

    for a Microsoft Research page, there's a notable dearth of examples of Microsoft hardware.

    It's not a definitive list of tech failures without the ::cue::cat ! That changed everything! We never browsed the web the same again!

    The fictional reactor they developed in the movie "Chain Reaction" as an cavitational sonofusion device. If you can't tell the difference between fission and fusion, please refrain from muddying the waters. And no matter what, never, under any circumstances remove the sands.
