Keyfinder, Produkey, Belarc all work pretty well. take your pick and make sure you run them on the old PC prior to wiping it.

Not exactly. In a Smart versus Smart or Smart versus fixed the Smart is quite safe. It's the Smart versus Behemoth crash that's the most dangerous for a Smart occupant, due to the much greater kinetic energy of the Behemoth; the Smart will bounce back, which is horrific for internal injuries (negative Gs?).

this is why I'm fat - so they're cushioned in a high-speed crash.

Shit. I'd rather die in the S-Class than be seen in the Smart.

I love to play golf (very very poorly), but there is no way I'd watch it on TV. Same with bowling, pool, basketball, hockey (if I could skate), and prolly lots of other stuff.
I get his point (altho I personally love watching baseball.)

It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

It's on Foxtrot Alpha - Jalopnik's sub-blog for military-related vehicles. As always, don't click on the story if you don't care.

I was working on my canned "I would hit that" and then realized I could come nowhere close to handling that

I'll tell you this much, it's really hard to glide a shuttle down inverted.

Like I said, it's a Zeiss Contax Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger (face it; it's just better in German)

ZANG

Michael Schumacher, the greatest race car driver of all time, had no fewer than 30 crashes in his 18 year Formula One career.

Except that by getting it off the ground, he can clear the crowd. Watch the video below. He clearly says that he can normally get the plane back onto the line it should be on. By the time he realized it wasn't going to come back, the safest thing to do was get it off the ground and clear of the people. You're…

(Grr)

Yeah man, he should just tuck all 98 pounds and 20 feet of wingspan under his arm and saunter out on the field with it. Nevermind that it isn't

He's an AMA member, and that comes with a $2.5m policy for property and medical liability. I'm quite sure the Academy of Model Aeronautics is well aware of "how big and dangerous" RC aircraft can be... they only predate the FAA by about 22 years.

I 100% guarantee he's an AMA member and flying within the full rights and knowledge of the AMA Large Scale guidelines.

I saw the B-29 fly at SEFF back in April. Amazing plane, and yeah... you fly something enough, eventually you'll have a failure resulting in a crash. It's part of the hobby. In this case, Mac says the #1 engine throttle servo connection failed, having been soaked with fuel at some point it degraded. It happens.

the car that was supposed to be piloting him from behind...where was that douche of a pilot telling the truck driver that his trailer is off the correct path.

GoPros? Pssh, why not just strap a bunch of iPhones to the wings? Don't these people read Barrons?
