perfect, like that Mad magazine with 2 pages of basic code to draw Alfred's face... I never got that one working, but I suppose I was only 10 or so. it could have been a massive troll I guess. next I want the raspberry pi mag where I get an arm cpu with the first issue and have to build a toaster oven to get it stuck on the board which comes with issue 99
I like linux and all but I cant see the point of a magazine, is this for people who have no internet tubes in their impoverished nation? and can afford reading material...and can read...
I've always wondered if you could dissolve the lumps off kids cap gun cap strips into water to form a paste then let set in an empty shell (.22) or primer cap (larger) to suffice as primer. would be safer that trying to make your own from scratch, when wet there should be very little risk of premature detonation. anyone tried this? I know hammering a whole pack of cap strips in one go makes one hell of a bang.
if you only require a resolution of 5mm per step for your print, it'll be just fine. anything better - yup, pile of poo
prepare for metal minecraft yodas and nick cage faced cats.
pretty much this, in New Zealand, the cops are only given guns under very strict circumstances. it is usually the Armed Offenders Squad sent out for firearms reports...one of the few times they were chasing an armed offender along the motorway and ended up accidentally shooting an innocent courier driver instead.

even if... it will only ever be good for UDP. at least in wires/fibre you don't have drone hunters and falcons. I'm guessing resending a bunch of lost packets could wind up expensive.
ha, my last toyota hilux was raised 4.5" on 35" tyres, it was easily 20kph out at 100kph (speedo reading around 80) next time I'm getting one with aftermarket diffs to suit the big tyres. 5th gear was almost unusable and mpg sucked. it still passed the NZ warrant of fitness. (street legal)
Thanks to the anonymous white knight below: burnouts() = (dowies, donuts, cookies, circles, line locks, roll backs, drifts, hooks, etc) basically anything involving losing traction and releasing entrapped rubber into a plume of smoke.
I agree that brakes are not necessary for donuts although a feather touch will make your circles tighter without so much forward momentum. my location and age meant that common teenagers cars were small 4 bangers (before turbos became mainstream) so losing traction usually involved an 'accidental' diesel spill, semi-dropping the clutch at about 3-4k revs then light heel on the brake while toeing the accelerator to prevent that pesky grip coming back. a couple of times I got my '64 Ford Anglia up to third gear but it wouldn't stay there long before bogging down and gripping. Anglia(mine) = 1300cc ford escort X-flow flathead motor - original was 1L no synchromesh on first.
I'm talking about 'line lock' the verb, not the noun. I'm no professional but I think there is some misunderstanding here, to line lock is to lock your front wheels and spin up the rear without the vehicle moving in any direction.
back in my day we called it a 'brake bias valve' but it is very easy to forget to switch it back after your line lock, this is just the next evolution.
you do realise that when you 'line lock' your road vehicle you're effectively burning out your rear brakes right? a button to disable the rear and only allow the front brakes to lock would cause a lot less wear and tear. So you think that doing burnouts with a system designed to allow that behaviour without over stressing the parts you need to stop safely is a bad thing? some people have cars for fun, doing burnouts doesn't make you a moron, doing them in inappropriate places does.
some dummies I knew way back added window washer bottles/pumps full of diesel into their boots and plumbed through the mudguards with missile switch near the handbrake... not particularly smart considering there is nothing stopping it from siphoning when the flow started. the oil injector into the carburettor was a laugh though, instant smokescreen out of the exhaust
Mazda RX7's were my favourite to laugh at, as they aged the pop up headlights would get out of sync and you'd have to turn them on-off-on-off-etc over and over to get them both up at the same time.
we need that in NZ, here speedometers can be 10kph or more out if the tyres are near end of life or incorrect size for the vehicle, and they're wanting to fine people for 4kph over the posted limit.
Bahahaha! your argument would have stood a chance if not for the hilarious link. Bender says it's best, humans are meatbags, soft and squishy. sure to people who know the meatbags their death would be sad, but if you start thinking about every single death that way you're going to be depressed and crying for the rest of your life. face facts, people die, it's inevitable, some people die in funny ways, is it wrong to admire the humor in someone's passing? or the poetic justice?
if I die in a funny way I really hope everyone gets at least a giggle out of it.
With any luck they'll pad our their psudo-ephadrine supplies to the cartels with some ground colbalt and destroy the entire meth manufacture and distribution network. problem is it probably wont happen fast enough to stop radioactive meth arriving in the states.
opposite example: the ancient 3com PCMCIA cards with pop out network cable jack were designed to withstand the weight of the entire laptop without disconnecting or damaging the connector
I don't know about that, I used to own a 70's Mitsubishi GTO - one of the best balanced (front to rear weight) cars ever, I never managed to spin out in that, it was always 4 wheel drift, roundabouts were fun, just flick the steering wheel floor it and drift around 'em.

it'll be perfect if you'd like to print yourself a full sized replica of the titanic, that will be some big-ass x.y.z axis though.

next they'll be accompanied by an armed military drone for protection from these 'turrurists'
Mexico already does this with narcotics... over the us border
I'm selling drone catching net guns... then excess pharmaceuticals

Ohhh... you dont mean Invalid aka handy-capable
however being invalid means it wouldn't count... so don't waste your time.
All those grams / ounces add up
are you suggesting there were drugs in the car too?
