"...how unlikely is it that the miata driver would be zipping along at 42 mph?"
That would be considered "slow" here in Denver. 45 - 50 MPH is more like it.
Give them out to the neighborhood kids on Halloween instead of candy. Of course, if the laptops really are that old, you may end up getting your house TP'ed by the more tech-savvy kids.
Walked out my back door and crossed the street to get to work. I was living in on-base housing. And, no, there weren't any dirt roads to the buildings. It's right off a friggin' highway!
What was scary was how open Ft. Meade was at the time. We damn near had an episode of "Cops" once when 2 guys robbed a gas station just off-base and ran through our back yard during the "getaway." Helicopters, cop cars, and cops with guns out everywhere in our neighborhood. Made for some interesting late night entertainment.
Of course my favorite part of the museum is the 80's section. Could tell you some stories about some of that equipment. On wait, no I can't.
Reminds me of the old Superfriends episode with G.E.E.C. (Goodfellow's Effort Eliminating Computer). Professor Goodfellow built a computer to eliminate physical labor in the world. Controlled just about everything including air traffic. When a mouse got into the computer's hardware, however, the machine malfunctioned and all Hell broke loose. Plastic Man ended up catching the mouse and the professor was convinced never to use G.E.E.C. again.
the B&W pic of the tentacled vehicle somewhat disturbing? Seems that, in the future, we somehow harness giant octopi to power our planetary surface exploration vehicles.
Also, the Mars Snooper looks just like the Estes rocket of the same name from "back in the day."
I think they should just tag your ear like Marlin Perkins did on Wild Kingdom. According to the show, you wouldn't notice it at all. And some guy can just track you down using a radio with a funky antenna.
This is the reason I enjoy GW and not other online RPG's I have played. My Wife, my daughter, and I have created our own little adventuring group and really couldn't care less if anyone else joins in or not. We wanted a game where the 3 of us could play when we want and not feel obligated to play just because we were paying a monthly fee for it. GW fits our gaming needs perfectly. We have tried others, most recently D&DO, but quickly tired of the need to go find a bigger group to join with in order to do certain quests. I realize that we are probably in the minority here, but we will be playing GW for a long time.
I believe she swallowed the evidence. As in...
"Damn, it's the cops! Quick, eat this!!!"
(Although I have no personal experience with this scenario.);-)
Well, it's nice to know that somewhere in the Denver Metro area there are cops that have the time to do soemthing like this. Here in Mexico, er, I mean Aurora, they are way too busy chasing down actual criminals to worry about whether or not Joe Sixpack has his wireless network locked down or not. Douglas County sounds like a nice little Utopia.

We have been doing similar stuff with model rockets for years with either still images or FMV. A lot cheaper too!
a Gamma World LARP in a suitable environment!
Just make sure you have plenty of isopropyl alcohol and Q-Tips to clean those plugs.

I, for one, can still tune a carburetor. Working on cars keeps me sane and calms my desire to kill users.

Just think...next year he can volunteer to fight and die for his country, and STILL can't drink alcohol!

Yeah something about the Van Allen belt will cook us like a convenience store burrito. See the following... http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/11/1 3/1920222

Maybe they will let us use the bays at Wal-Mart's Tire and Lube Express to do our own oil changes.
We have a Cinema Grill here in Aurora, CO. The food can get a bit pricey, but it's only a buck or two to get into the movie. Been there several times.

If somebody told me I wouldn't have to take these damn shots the rest of my life, I would eat a whole friggin' Gila Monster!!!
I see I am not the only one who has felt the wrath of the "Rocket-Eating Tree Gods".
"Horseshit" is far too good a rating for that movie.
"Who's the baddest?" "Sho'Nuf!"
Give it time.
