That's odd -- my parafoils fly very high [but not too high - I haven't had one fly over me yet] and very stably. Either your bridle lines were just plain wrong [not your fault!] or they were tangled [your fault].
But you are right about the superior flight characteristics in unstable wind of the delta.
It's missing oodles of history, including two revisions of ANSI-standard FORTH, on the FORTH branch, mention of APL/SV on the APL branch, and Cthulu knows what else.
Nice shot. Probably impractical for a full-blown history chart.
Ever been to an event where they announce "no flash photography", especially when they say it's for the performer's safety...and then during the event, the flashes go off? That's likely because there are too many idjits who don't know how to use their cameras.
employer that you can deal with a whole bunch of bullshit
Because you're going to be dealing with bullshit for the rest of your life.
Sad but true. Find a job that you can live with until retirement. Have interesting hobbies. Don't talk about them at work - work is supposed to be your hobby, and I don't mean that you admit to doing recreational programming. The Boss thinks he owns you 100%.
The article comes as no big surprise to anyone who has lived with a Border Collie. They are definitely smart dogs, and can understand what you're saying to them. And better than a three year-old child, they'll actually do what you tell them to do.
No clue. Those bike photos were submitted by members of the now-defunct? 2stroke list.
I had a RD200 for my two-smoker. Rode other bikes for a while, had to give it up because of my hands/wrists/elbows. Favorite was a Honda Pacific Coast. That bike was callipygous!
How else did we get to be the remaining superpower?
From this year's results, clearly the problem is too difficult to solve all at once at this time. So you simplify, simplify, simplify. Get a D-6 solution to work - lots of space & power for computers and you won't be tempted to go too fast. Then you make it more complex, and use the previous solution as the groundwork for something more complicated. Stepwise refinement.
I predict that this will finally be won by a Cat D6 (bulldozer) based vehicle. Drive through small things. Don't get caught up in barb-wire fences. A little GPS and some vision thing for detecting deep holes and you're there.
While I agree for the most part, your kids are only going to be kids once. Another job you can find. Make your wife and your child a priority. Off-hours are yours and not your employer's.
You will want to attend during-work hours school events. Take the day off if it's really important or long + a long drive.
I bought a cheapie keyboard/mouse adaptor from Fry's. It has separate mouse and keyboard PS/2 ports, and it claims that you can, with a laptop keyboard/mouse Y cable, plug in two keyboards and two mice.
Win2K required four reboots to install the HID drivers. That's one reboot each for "two" mice and "two" keyboards. After that it worked OK.
Linux required tweaking as I wanted to be able to use the built-in ps/2 touchpad as well. The keyboard was recognized but the mouse wasn't. A bit o' research with Google pointed me in the right direction [tweak xconfig] and I was off an running.
MacOS X just worked. Plug it in and go. No reboots, no tweaking.
Nope wasn't joking. This was the same workplace that put too many computers in a small conference room and called it a "classroom" but it was so hot they had to keep the doors open while they all talked loudly.
Then there was the loud person who decided he had to use his speakerphone even though he was in a cubicle.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who thought of that. I suppose if he watched his diet carefully, he'd do alright.
BNW: Populace is controlled by drugs
THX: Populace is controlled by drugs
On that axis, yes, they're the same.
BNW: Dystopia
THX: Dystopia
Same here.
BNW: Rigid class distinctions [showing Huxley's Britishness]
THX: Uniformity
They have a couple of parallels but they're not the same.
No, but it does have something to do with Princess Leia's cell number and the license plate in American Graffitti
It's a great idea, especially given that Disney is all about pneumatic actuators. It must have been some kind of "Aha!" moment for the inventor.
I was suggesting a manufacturing error. And of course it had a nice tail on it, right? Anyhoo, water under the bridge!
This has been covered twice on /. before. December 2003 and November 2002

Still no cure for cancer.
They suck at second amendment issues as well. Assault weapons bill, GCA '68, etc.
You can see Shakey at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.
I'm a native speaker of APL! It was the first programming language I learned and it still influences my thinking today.
MUMPS is in the top quarter of the chart in dark purple. ISO M ["M ISO" on the chart] pops up at '99. Frankly, I'm surprised it's lasted this long.

I do.
You're mis-remembering ST:TMP. It was Voyager they found. Hence, ST:V'GER for that awfulness punctuated by 6 of 9.

Learn all about it in the new film, "Java Junkies in Jail"
