Yeah I'm with you on this one. I don't think this experiment is dangerous or will lead to anything dangerous, which is where I think the other commenter's are losing you a little. But I do agree that someone at some point will do something that leads to an "oh f*ck" moment and we will have to deal with the…

I think this is the same theory that I discussed with a physicist once. He said that you could go back in time and the moment you did you would create a different time line and do whatever you want in it. As soon as you return to your time line, everything is still the same as you left it. So go back in time and kill…

One of the things I've always wanted to see was Steven Hawking giving a speech and then in the middle of it his systems goes... "BING! YOU'VE GOT MAIL!"

Those photo's are just awesome!

As someone who likes my body parts to stay right where they are... especially my testicles... I think I can safely say... F-THAT!

Yeah I know I write some long ass posts sometimes... well, most of the time... :-)

Honestly, that's probably the best option for a lot of people. Some just need to root it because every one else seems to be doing it. If you don't need to root, there is no reason to do so. Towards the end of my time with my Android phone, the only ROM I used on it was the official one for my device that just hadn't…

People should definitely root their devices. Even just to get access to some stuff that they couldn't normally. If you take the time to look around, there are a lot of things that are useful which you need to root to get. One word of advice before you do anything.

Oh God, the Y2K thing drove me nuts. People going on about how everything with a microchip will stop working. One even said that things like microwaves and washing machines would break because they had chips inside of them. Totally ignoring the part where your microwave and washing machine have no idea what the date…

I always admired CM and the way he drove. I also loved the MKII Escort but sadly never got the chance to own one. One of the things I love / hate about rally drivers is their skill on any surface. All of my experience of rally driving is in video games only, but even then I could never drive fast on anything but…

I've got a friend who went to an F1 race once. I think it was Monaco but not 100% sure. And he took a book with him to read while waiting for the cars to come back around. That right there is why I wouldn't go to see a race. Sure you get to actually be there and see it in real life. But you are also missing a lot of…

Yeah I noticed it was an Iranian airline. There might be something we don't know about that incident that caused them to investigate the pilot. But I hope they didn't just go after him because he "technically" crashed. We need to reward people like this guy and Sully Sullenberger who have the skill to turn a…

I'm not on Path, and won't be as I don't have a smart phone anymore. Plus I don't tend to jump into new social networks until way after the initial rush that everyone else does. But your article got me thinking about Facebook. Facebook seems to have gone the way of Yahoo. Back when Yahoo first came out and everyone…

Well from what I've read in the news articles that covered these incidents, that is EXACTLY what he was doing. Holding it on the flaps until the last second when he had to drop the nose due to air speed. You can understand why they do it like that. But damn, if that isn't skill... I don't know what is.

There are quite a few videos out there of jets landing without nose gear. Here is a link to one of my favourites. The pilot holds the nose up until the last second before having to drop it. There are a few others out there showing that skill level too. After seeing something like this, I don't have any fear about this…

I think this is now officially the weirdest f*ing thread on Giz....

erm.... weird kind of spidey-sense...????

Here is a little tip for you guys who get smelly pits during the day. Or smelly anything... well, almost anything as you will see.... Keep a little bottle of hand sanitiser with you. If things get smelly, a little squirt and wipe will clear the bacteria and get you back to being a little fresher. I call it the…

Happens to me if I'm sitting down when a nervous situation occurs. When I get up it looks like I pee'd the seat. When I was learning to drive it happened. My driving instructor was the one who asked me if I'd just pee'd in the seat... Never realised I did that when nervous until then.

Although there are no professors referenced in the video or the YouTube page, there are some Dr's referenced in the Google search that have JIST listed in their info. But again it's just JAIST but with a different name. So I'm kinda leaning towards your idea that it's an old naming of the institute and this could just…
