If by Tuesday, you mean yesterday, or even last week, the fish still has an extremely high chance of dying. New tanks, even ones with water taken from another tank go through a cycle process, during which concentrations of ammonia and Nitrite can peak to levels way, way toxic to fish. If it doesn't die, it will be…

Showing my age here, Future Crew were my geek hero's back when these demo's were limited to fitting on a floppy drive. There were also 640k demos (DOS limits), and 64k demos (usually technically impressive, if not visually as much).

Technically they are not using explosives, or anything that would be overly volatile if not exposed to a detonation source. It's simple - don't connect the detonation source until ready to detonate. And no smoking, of course... The plastic jug is likely the primer, which will set off whatever is in the box, which…

Instant fail. No quad that isn't dangerous to use in public places can change direction anywhere near fast enough to be a challenge to anyone to "hit" a return.

At 17lbs it kinda defeats the idea of travelling light, e.g. carry-on only. You'd need a motorized scooter to carry this thing around. Oh wait...

Born too early to time travel. Or were you?

I do the majority of my web surfing on an iPad. About the most annoying thing anyone has figured out to do is pop-up redirects that flip you to the app store and a specific app they are hocking. I'm not sure if Android is similar in it's separation of application run spaces.

And, I recall the milk floats (the vans that delivered the milk for those of you wondering), were electric! ELECTRIC! Green and quiet. Pretty much the ONLY thing you heard was the glass bottles clinking as they took the empties and placed the fresh ones. Then maybe a slight, golf-cart-like Huummmmm as they moved on.

Dairies used to do that - deliver bottled milk. At least in the UK. Fresh every morning. Ironically supermarkets stocking milk killed the business model. Now we want deliveries again?

Strangely I have strong memories of dial up to BBS sites, downloading demo's onto floppy disc. I also recall the week that Google search went live and you could "Search the whole internet" in seconds and thought WOW!

In the UK, bearing in mind that both rear AND front license plates are a legal requirement, most cameras reference a set of road markings while facing oncoming traffic. By the time the unit knows you are speeding, (time between farthest and nearest marking) you are at the perfect spot for the camera to capture both…

Do you hate your job? Do you have fifty iPhones laying around? You could work from home and earn a fortune pushing app ratings up! My grandmothers, cousins, sisters dog makes $250 million yenpounddollars a year with just a few thousand finger taps an hour. Never leave the comfort of your couch!

I haven't lived in the UK since 2005 but even a decade ago, pretty much ALL notorious speeding locations had automated speed cameras installed. I'm surprised there aren't more here. They seem to prefer cops with speed guns chasing down people and handing out tickets than an automated camera capturing plates and…

Consumer drone manufacturers, if they were on board with this, could set expiry dates on firmware, beyond which the drone would cease to fly until updated, enforcing regular database updates. But most of the hobbyist drone companies, specifically the build it yourself component manufacturers, are unlikely to conform.…

Murder by toothpaste. Seriously I swear I read about someone adding toothpaste to their spouses food to kill them with fluoride poisoning. Or at least trying to.

I had copied the exact same link to paste but checked before I did and, no surprise, it was already posted.

He "lost" orientation. I say lost because, even though it's impossible to "lose" orientation with a quad that big, that well lit, that close, lost is the term for orientation confusion. Most likely nerves got the better of him and he wanted to do more than just slide / strafe while maintaining a constant relative…

The only innovation here is marketing an existing set of fabrics and coatings to a niche market, if you call that innovation

Shame. I was hoping for a 12" or 18" die-cast set, on par with the Takara Masterpiece Transformers. Who am I kidding though, I'll still buy these..

You can increase control range with a hobby grade transmitter, but you will exceed the transmission distance of the teeny 25mW video transmitter. Video feed breaks up pretty quick flying beyond the range of the park flyer transmitter it comes with. Ironically with more powerful video links, you can lose control and…
