  1. Re:Does strike me as feasible on Human-powered Helicopter Fails to Lift Off · · Score: 1

    Couldn't they build a helicopter and throw an 200,300,400,500,600 watt motor in it and around 100 lbs of weight? This would seem like a good control test. IANAE, I'm sure there are other factors to take into consideration but this seems like a good place to start.

  2. gratitude? rejected from the primate commuity? on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1

    Ok, going way out on a limb here.. Is it possible that the monkey, came to the realiziation that she was sick and/or expected to die? Then all of a sudden, these funny looking bipeds, used some form of magic and brought her back from certian death. Is it also possible, the monkey then could have very strong feelings of gratitude/overawe for those funny looking bipeds which did save her life. She could be walking around on 2 legs as some sort of tribute or form of gratitude to those that saved her from certian death. another possibility: Was the monkey in a community of other apes when she fell ill? Did the other monkeys in the community reject/eject her from the community when she fell ill? It could also be possible she felt like she was rejected from her ape community when the others noticed she was sick, (Kicked out because she was ill, and left for dead) And adopted by the biped community - who nursed her back to health. This could again explain the walking on 2 feet as she now feels a bond with the bipeds.

  3. Firefox on PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera · · Score: 3, Funny

    I always thought that in order to use Firefox you needed to be able to think in Russian. I'm surprised you don't see microsoft pointing this out as drawback.
