The world's tiniest RC helicopters

July 5, 2008 11:45am

It's purely an adult toy. Average small kid would destroy one in a matter of seconds.
Just step on it and it'll never fly again.

Still, if you want to learn, it's a valuable new skill.
How many people here can appreciate the ability to control a machine with no tactile feedback?
Should be easy for gamers.

Tiny?
There is a manufacturer out there who has a flying model that weighs 6 grams.

I'm in the process of learning to fly one that weighs in at just 60 grams, and can lift an additional 25 grams.
Ever seen the flying wireless cams?
I'm working towards that end.

GPS recording gadget debunks psychic's child abuse allegation

June 21, 2008 7:24am

Truth is, mere conversational accusation regarding the welfare of children these days is more than enough for the appropriate "agency" to become involved. It's almost as if those in charge decide to look at any and all instances as suspect. Thats good, but discrimination between real and not-real has to made early, or else you get this.
Honestly, I think the EA is culpable here. It was her idea to visit a psychic.
Somebody ought to order her financial records, If she's in charge of risky special needs kids, she needs to be spotless.
Both real and not-real.
What are the chances the EA has issues?

Hmmmmm.

Could this be a sign of old age?
If so, perhaps Keith may see a few trips to the dermatologist in the future.
Just putting it out there.
So we can say that it was mentioned.

I question the motives of the OP. This has turned into a horridly descriptive thread and must be closed down for the sake of the children.
If they suspect that our superpowers are linked to our minor antennae, well... you know this could get ugly real quick.
Best to hide all the references to them.
Remember? That thing where we all agreed?
Kill this thread now, before we all die!

HOWTO make an all-in-one steampunk PC

April 23, 2008 8:41pm

I think the mouse is in the base of the sextant.
There are some ordinary Victorian style brass pushbuttons there.
The Remington keyboard is nice. I may use that if I can find a whole one at a yard sale...
And I could easily hide a pair of piezo speakers easily in that telegraph sounder's armature.

hmmmmmmm

London's Spitalfields market: shoot the architecture, we take away your camera

March 31, 2008 3:44pm

Sorry about the off topic, but I feel quite strongly about the continued erosion of individual rights by non-governmental entities.
I'm waiting over here for when the idiot barista calls the cops on me because I took a picture of my wife and daughter while inside of Starbucks.
(has already happened to other people)

London's Spitalfields market: shoot the architecture, we take away your camera

Remember the four boxes.
soap box,
ballot box,
jury box,
and last (the most important one),
the ammunition box.

The last box has been used, and quite recently here in the states as well...

The Battle of Athens
2 AUGUST 1946

On 2 August 1946, some Americans, brutalized by their county government, used armed force to overturn it. These Americans wanted honest, open elections. For years they had asked for state or Federal election monitors to prevent vote fraud -- forged ballots, secret ballot counts, and intimidation by armed sheriff's deputies -- by the local political boss. They got no help.

I hate it when the name's already been used for equipment designed for off-world.
