I actually liked the Amazing Spider-Man version of the costume. It had a lot more texture and depth, and looked like more than just a cheap piece of Spandex with a few vinyl decals glued on...unlike this one. And the eyes? That’s gotta be the worst part of this one.

You might want to check the sensitivity on the G-sensor. Unless you’re also having problems where the date/time resets, the unit will always delete the oldest unprotected file, and the file protection is triggered by the G-sensor. Without knowing more details, the most plausible explanation sounds like your card is…

Streetcars may not be the best option, but they certainly make a hell of a lot more sense than the gondola idea Gizmodo’s been going nuts over lately...

Why do they charge for that functionality at all? My 70D is quite a few rungs down from this monster, and it came with WiFi built-in, as do many other DSLRs these days.

Lack of gravity isn’t the reason Mars is losing it’s atmosphere; it’s that Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field like Earth’s to protect it from the solar winds, which are slowly blasting away its atmosphere.

Just a note on the second photo, that is not in the same test section as the top photo. The NFAC is really two wind tunnels in one: one is a closed loop, where the test section is 40 x 80 with circular sides, and is acoustically treated, and the other is an open path with the rectangular 80 x 120 cross section.

Neat little tool, but the vertical axis just disturbs me. Why on earth would the creator of this put later times at the bottom of the axis? That is completely backwards.

Not really. To freeze motion, the shutter speed only needs to be at least fast enough to capture the object. Once you reach that minimum value, you can have as fast a shutter as you want.

However, in aviation photography circles, they actually prefer to have a little motion blur. Seeing the moving parts of an aircraft…

A quick browse of the Wikipedia article seems to indicate the 1980s, though no definitive date is given.

Well, I can’t be certain it’s PIV, but that’s what it appeared to be at first glance, and it seemed worthwhile to provide a bit of an additional explanation of why they might employ such a setup.

As for the explanation, I just wanted to keep things simple, and I only have a passing familiarity with PIV from a little…

Not certain, no, but why else would you use smoke illuminated by laser sheets?

For those curious, this is known as Particle Image Velocimetry, which employs lasers spread out into sheets to illuminate tiny particles in the flow. Combine that with high-speed imagery, and you can visualize individual slices and analyze what’s going on aerodynamically. Repeat multiple times in multiple orientations…

I wasn’t talking about auto-signalling on sharp turns; I was replying to the comment above that said we should have electrified steering wheels that shock the driver when they fail to use their turn signals when making a turn.

The problem there is accounting for when the road itself makes a sharp bend.

It doesn’t have to all be about mortality. Maybe you want to stand because it’s more convenient? Or maybe it helps out with back problems that would be exacerbated by sitting all day?

I was curious why they were calling it a “rover” when it appeared to be a stationary lander.

You mean in addition to the MicroSD reader that already exists?

Fun story you may or may not have heard. The RAF had a Chinook wired up to test loading and stresses. The thing is, they unintentionally had this system recording later on when they were doing some of their more...fun...manevuers.

As it turns out, they were loading the blades to 250% their rated capacity. You should’ve…

Tiger45000 on AIM, because I liked tigers, all the low, sane numbers were taken, and I didn’t want some random four digits, and I kinda liked the number 45, so just throw a few more 0s on there!

If you look at the buttons, mount, and other features, the TaoTronics in the article just seems like a slightly different shell on the same old G1W, perhaps with slightly updated internals.

Also, as I understand it, the G1W is more of a design that’s licensed to manufacturers, rather than a single model from a single…
