    Steve Mann just posted mega Twiddler2 pictures taken from his head-cam.

  2. Re:Iridium and corporate BS on Iridium Saved By the US Dept of Defense · · Score: 1

    rc-flyer:
    The Iridium satelites are in what is called "low earth orbit". This means that they are actually flying through an extremely thin part of the Earth's athmosphere.

    Um...the earth's atmosphere extends beyond the moon. An Earth satellite couldn't not be flying through an extremely thin part of the earth's athmosphere.

    Also, "Earth" is capitalized; "the earth" is not capitalized. As in, "Mom" is capitalized; "the mom" is not capitalized.

    New Scientist is 100% pure pseudo science. I wish there was an option to block New Scientist /. posts.

    bluGill:
    Since you are using robots and solar power your costs are lower

    Lower than...?

    The cheapest power is nuclear fission, especially if you're using robots and you don't have to use much shielding or design-in other safety devices.

  8. I don't know the answers on Is Personality Typing Used In IT? · · Score: 1

    I'm taking the test right now, and most of the answers I don't know . In other words, I would have to write down my answers in order to get anywhere near the same results if I took the test multiple times.

    I must have the wrong personality for this personality test.

  9. Good wearables resource on Seeking Relief Down Under, Via Web · · Score: 2
