  1. Re:For a budding secret agent... on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    There was also the 007 atachi case with "Plastic" Bullets" and "Dagger". Fireball XL5 set with real launching space ship.

    Wanted a chemister set but found plenty of other chemical around to have fun with!

  2. Re:*Sigh*... I miss dangerous toys on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    Could be. Maybe that why the world was always a little leary of the US. We played with toy that would kill, mutilate and blow up the place. But for some strange reason we survived!

    Wasent there a SNL skit on some "toy makes" that had a "Bag of Glass" and "Little Jonny Switch Blade?"

  3. Re:Toy Safety on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    WMD???? Heck most of the country around the world would kill for one of those "good" kits from back then!

  4. Re:CoCo 2 and CoCo 3... on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    Since it a lot of British stuff suprise there were no Dragon software or the computer { AKA COlor Computer } on the list.

  6. Re:Toys today! on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    Heck I rembered when they introduces Wheels & lights. Those gray tires were strange!

  7. Re:All I want for Christmas (insert any holiday) on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    Your own Battle bots! :) Need to over drive motors and replace brissles with buzzsaw blades. YEA!

  8. Re:What about Lawn Darts? on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    Yep. That sums it up pretty good! We had fun back then. Actualy we made the fun. Really feel sorry for the kids of today.

    I guess the PC control freaks of today are those kids that never had any fun back then and now want to rub it in!

  9. Re:Oh the sorrow. on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    I gues we are still breaking our toys. :)

  10. Memories on Skunkworks At Apple -- The Graphing Calculator Story · · Score: 1

    Did something like that with two other good friends at a company 12 years ago. Was not on the schedule. Not authorised. Etc. Turn out to be the best feature of the final release of the project.

  11. Hum... on Lego Logic Gates · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the analog computers thay were used for about 1/2 of the last century. They caculated tables etc. Mostly balistic problems.

    I like the idea of binary and Lego. Is very intersting.

  12. Re:Alek's Christmas Lights Webcam is Back on Alek's Christmas Lights Webcam is Back · · Score: 1

    Hum.... /. crashed his server. Then just slowed it down... then drives his neighbors mad, drives the local power company generators crazy! And finally kicks up his electric bill for next month.

    Only /. and xmas can master this level of power!

  13. Re:The Day After Tomorrow on Robotic Science Network Watches Our Oceans · · Score: 1

    The main concept of the movie was to seed sensors around the world for sismic events. Which sound simular to this real world concept.

    Been years since I saw it and just missed it on one of the networks a few months ago.

  14. Re:The Day After Tomorrow on Robotic Science Network Watches Our Oceans · · Score: 1

    Actualy its much closes to the 1965 movie "Around the World under the Sea". And I thing the ship was called the Argo.

  15. Wow! on New Treatment Helps Cure Spinal Injuries · · Score: 1

    Wonder if it act like a support for the cels to regrow on. Darn intersting!

  16. Like the coyote finaly getting the Road Runner... on 1.6TB In a Shoebox, If You've Got the Money · · Score: 2, Informative

    Like the coyote. You finaly obtain it.

    But then have that sick realization of "How are you going to back up this bad boy?"

  17. Re:Minimum 100,000? on Steve Ballmer's $100 PC, Sans Windows · · Score: 1

    I agree. A fun box to modify and try out!

  18. Re:HUD / glasses on New LCD Flatscreen Concept: A Wedge of Plastic · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the wedge light system some person developed to add light for the Gameboy that foolish Netendo DID not do.

    Some where I saw some on is working on stearing light by non mechenical means. So combind both and large display with large & variable resolution could be possible.

  19. Re:Yeah we had this in Lithuania some time ago on Microsoft Replaces Your Pirated Windows, For Free · · Score: 1

    This plan makes the most logical approach. Find the source and cut it off. Problem is the Record or Movie industry is going backward. Not going after the source but after the user.

    Simply rat on who and get a real copy so to speak.

  20. Baltic armor! on How Much Harm Can One Web Site Do? · · Score: 1

    Simply. It not just defensive its offensive!

    Anything from leaving a warning to blasting any software that would try to down load off of that server!

  21. Re:Death of the space elevator predicted! on Lunar Space Elevator Instead? · · Score: 1

    Actualy NASA does have the formula to make Concret from Moon dust. Was done in the mid 70's.

  22. Re:Generator? Deorbit? on Lunar Space Elevator Instead? · · Score: 1

    Actual Nasa did this a few years back and really generated more than they though.

  23. Re:The point? on Lunar Space Elevator Instead? · · Score: 1

    It makes sense.

    Get it up to the liberation point. Use a solar slow speed sling shot or ion powered craft transport to move material closer if nessary. Could be automated or semi automated transport system.

    Now since the cable and the moom spin around the earth as one unit cound use the force ar the "upper" end to propell craft away or pick up. This actualy makes more sense to do it for the moom than the earth.

    The testing concept is the most interesting of this.

    Also this sound like a good task for private industry.

  24. Re:Anyone know if it's bendable? on World's First Ultra-Thin Multilayer Circuit Board · · Score: 1

    Have had some luck in printing then etching a board. Beats mask and or Resen pens.

  25. Re:Picasso? on Lost Ed Wood Film Unearthed · · Score: 3, Insightful
