And this is another way to stop people building up a resistance to bacteria and so they end up getting sick later on because they can't handle the normal germs around them everyday. If you are so scared of germs, then don't think about the things you touch everyday that others have touched before you and what they…

You're right about the air supply. I was thinking about an air filter but then made the jump to it being a separate supply. When I read about "stealth coating" I was thinking "heat coating" on the shuttle and the shuttle has wings so.... hey, it's late in the day for me... :-)

I don't understand how the fumes of the glue are getting into the internal air supply? Surely the easiest way to test this would be to send a pilot up with a separate portable air supply and monitor heart rate, etc. Plus they could set up a monitor to the aircrafts internal air supply and take samples of it during…

I came here to post this! It is awesome. It happened in Oklahoma, only a few blocks from where I lived. I love how the news reporters try to sound like they are on the side of the cops but can't hide how impressed they are with the driver. I've no idea what the story is behind it, but someone told me that the guy was…

When you're ripping out the seat, try and get the rails that are bolted to the floor too. That way you know that the seat will fit onto them and slide so you can adjust it. Then make a frame out of tubing and fix the rails to it. You can build the tubing frame to whatever height you need it to be for you to be…

Got to disagree with you on this. That is just gorgeous! I'd happily ride that across country and take the slow winding roads too.

My idea of the ultimate vacation is to take what I call "The Grand Tour". I start of in LA and drive down to Miami and then up to Maine and across to Seattle and then finish it off by driving down the coast back to LA. I would have to take an SUV because I'd be buying lots of crap along the way. I like to find…

True, but how much of that bandwidth would they use? I know families with 50Mbps download and they have never maxed it out when doing all of what you mentioned. I can see the benefit of this speed when it becomes the norm across the net, but I have to put on my 'old guy pants' and ask do you really need to download a…

The main problem with offering speeds like this is that most of the time you will never see them due to the servers you're connecting through. Your download speed is as fast as the slowest server your travelling through. And there are still some very slow servers out there due to either their hardware or the amount of…

OK, I'm totally into these. I think they look awesome. I'd love to get a few of them. Some I'd keep as they are and some I'd love to see them painted like a planet. The ones with holes in them look like a planet in mid destruction. If you keep them the wood color you can imagine them as a planet like Mars. But I'd…

I remember watching a documentary on the WTC. They were interviewing some guy who says that one of the cool things he remembered about them was that when the sun was setting, you could see the shadow of the Earth move up the building one floor at a time. He said that it moved at one floor per second and he loved just…

"I just don't understand how you don't take your foot off when you start to feel acceleration instead of braking."

I said it was a stupid comment. The scottish genes are having problems leaving that $9 charge on there when the know it could be cheaper.

I know this is a stupid comment considering the price of this thing... But why pay the $9 for the GSM connection? Just get a pre-paid SIM and put that in. All it's going to use is SMS so try and find one that gives you credit that doesn't expire each month and your stove is ready to go. I'm sure that will be cheaper…

OK, I've just had a thought while reading this and thinking about the other stuff that's washed up since the earthquake. How many times has a massive quake hit a country and caused a tsunami that cleared stuff from the land that then washed up on foreign shores throughout history? Can you imagine a few hundred years…

I'd like to tell the story of my friend Graham.

I think a lot of them are on their own network. But some are still connected to the net. There was a news story a few years ago about something like a water station was taken down by an attack. And they had accessed it through the internet. The "experts" were trying to figure out a way to stop these attacks from…

The problem with cyber weapons is that anyone can attack you from anywhere. We need to remove all contact our strategically important systems have with the outside world. Our power plants do not need to be connected to the internet. Build a private network and make sure there is no physical connection to the net at…

They already have machines that can do this. I saw it on one of those late night programs like How it's made or How they do that or something similar. Maybe this machine does it differently and is taking over part of the process that was done by humans. but I'm almost 100% sure that it's already done by robots. Anyone…

Out of that list I would only go for Into The Wild and L.A. Confidential. I love Into The Wild and have watched it so many times. I really wish I could have met the guy before he died. I think we could have had some good conversations. On the other hand, I go out of my way to avoid anything with Jack Black in it. I'm…
