Foggy air is less dense than dry air. Adding some particulates to it won't change the result much. In any case, a couple thousand feet of altitude difference will affect the air density far more than fog/smog can do.
Isn't Wikipedia marvelous? Zero-visibility landing capability exists, but it costs a buttload to equip the airplane and airport. The prevailing standard for ILS approaches in most airplanes at most airports is "200 & 1/4" -- when the airplane is at 200 feet altitude and 1/4 mile from the touchdown point, the pilot has to see the runway or break off the approach.
It used to be a fairly popular table game in Vegas. You'd buy a deck for $52, and a dealer would hand you back $5 for each card you put on the upper stacks. You'd go through the undealt deck one card at a time, only one pass through, so it was pretty tough to beat.
It was largely eclipsed by other games, and I don't think I've seen it in fifty years.
Not much fine maneuvering normally needed on the ship's part. As long as it can supply some propulsion, the mulas (electric locomotives atop the lock walls) keep it centered. I'm guessing the propulsion failure was abrupt and asymmetric enough to overpower them.
Moller still hasn't been able to put together a demonstration model
Why in the bloody 'ell would he want to do that? Working vehicles are for one market; fantasies are for another. He's built a fifty year career on this one, and never had to spend a nickel on anything but hype.
I got my CCW permit in Colorado in 2012, and didn't have to take ANY kind of test. All I had to do was sit through a presentation, at least half of which was an infomercial for a prepaid lawyer plan. The guy also kept reminding us "You have until November to buy all the guns you'll need for the rest of your life."
True. Fortunately, in my Aurora neighborhood we don't give two fucks about our HOA, we ignore its rules, and it hasn't sent out a dues bill for ten or fifteen years for lack of anybody to man it...it's essentially dead. If anybody creates a legitimate public nuisance, a complaint to Code Enforcement is enough to deal with it.
Do you really think you could defend against hostile disruption by banning transmitting towers you can see from a block away? If a terrorist wanted to shut down your cell reception, you would never see it coming.

Give it a real test. Run an article about the statue of Hermaphroditus in the Louvre.
I was just about to post on that. Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Well, he did accomplish some research: he waved his gun around and he learned something.

Perhaps TV will be kinder.
One word: Riverworld.
It's where Walloons come from.
The GNP, if a magnetic storm takes out enough Internet infrastructure.
Only one is accurate...you don't take an MRI of yourself. Portrait would be more apt.
This story got /. through one whole page of comments without a single mention of the Second Amendment.
Well, until now of course.
Drones to guns in nine posts...Godwin's Law may need a corollary.

Moller knows exactly what he's doing.
Maybe they can use the Moller Skycar...;-)

That's about a 26-gauge hypodermic needle...

A range session was an extra-cost option.
What a waist of a high school education.

you had the option to NOT buy the property
Of course you did: you had every right to move to another country. In today's new-house market, that pretty well sums up your options.

Nobody really knows the origin, but the consensus seems to be that it's a contraction of "amateur". Hams do not ordinarily write it in all caps.
Indeed, restrictive covenants were originally invented to keep blacks and Jews out.
