@Totenglocke42: Heck, I just want something better than dial-up. And I live 20 minute from downtown Denver. wtf.
@truthtellah: I get your idea, but it still bugs me.
@El Guano: Gotcha. Yes, the movie makers made it just as ridiculous as you think they did. As you say, once landed, the Earth (if you landed near-side) will always be at about the same point in the sky, so you'll never 'lose' contact like that. Narr.
@andsid: There is gravity on the moon - it's just 1/6th that of Earth (due to the Moon being smaller in mass and size than the Earth), which is why in the footage from the Apollo missions you see them taking the big long strides that they seem to be parodying in this trailer. That being said, I wouldn't expect the…
You know, this has bugged me in just about every sci-fi movie with EVA suits - they all have lights inside the helmets that illuminate their faces. Seriously? You wouldn't be able to see shit, because you'd be constantly blinded by the light staring you straight in the face.
@El Guano: Umm, not sure if you understand how the Moon works - the same side always faces the Earth, and the far side always faces away. However, as the Moon orbits around the earth, the different sides of the Moon are illuminated throughout it's ~28 day orbit. So, there isn't a 'dark' side of the Moon, at least not…
Something that I'm looking to get is a pack for our dog, so she can carry her own food and water when we go hiking.
Re: #4 - I was looking at used Subaru outbacks a little over a year ago. On the surface, it looked nice, clean, and well taken care of. Having grown up around Subaru cars, I decided to look in some of the hidey holes (underneath the back seat, and in the spare tire bin), and found signs that at least a couple of pack…
@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: That's why I put one together from old parts - to have a simple commuter that I wouldn't feel bad about chaining up outside.
You want to know how to get through the legend? Take a torch to it until it glows, let it cool, and then go at it with a hacksaw. You're only just delaying it.
@DWOHIO: Ehh, I grew up in Alaska, and successfully did this myself. And yeah, it's weird.
@crosis101: dammit, you beat me to it. I couldn't remember where I'd seen it (kept thinking abstruse goose for some reason). But yes, I too disagree.
@arcticfox012: Probably largest single-launch earth satellite. But yes, I had the same objection.
@lololzak: Also, you can see the reflection of the tv in his glasses, and you see it brighten when the main picture does.
@danuuc: Sounds like she's the one that took YOU for a ride. Heh.
Just to be ornery, I'd put one of these somewhere upside down, let everyone know where it is, and then take video of everyone perching their computers upside down to try to get at the usb connector.
@farcedude: Quick question - any of these things do better than WEP security? Cause this one don't.
Honestly, I'm totally thrilled. I've been looking at mifi style solutions fir a while, and this beats em all. And I would never even approach 1 gb a month, anyway.
