@Aesomatica: My comment was directed more to the commenters asking 'why doesn't he have GPS tracking, satellite phone etc...', I wasn't trying to imply that he does not have the means to be found, just trying to state that a military pilot won't show up as a POI on a TomTom. Given the weather conditions that are…

If you wank the device hard enough does it make popcorn?

@txwill14: Apparently it was also 'tested'.

No smoking in the infield or paddocks...

@Spasticteapot: It's to carry you, your family and your gear to that mountain getaway in speed and comfort. Mostly speed though.

@Netscott: That is not corn silk (AKA corn hair) in between those kernels.

Is that pedo bear on the packaging corner? Also, it says it was tested next to that. I just vomited a little.

A few commenters are noting that pilots should have more equipment to make rescues easier. You should also be aware that even in training exercises, a pilots gear usually revolves around survival, and that includes surviving hostile encounters. As such, the equipment they tend to carry is more focused on 'not getting…

Fantastic. Star him again please.

@RainbowSuspenders: That is an awesome photo...

So many anomalies...

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: Judging by the looks of the machine, I don't think they used it very much. This, in turn, supports your theory. You'd be more likely to use the damn cloth if it didn't come free with that glossy computer.

Many commenters are pointing out the closed economic system as a downside, but I think one of the more appealing points to Entropia is that the currency is correlated to the U.S. Dollar. As such, the online currency can be directly translated to actual currency (still virtual if you consider they are in bank…

@m2m: With modern CNC milling and CCM presses, the only prohibitive cost I can see is the high cost of establishing manufacturing facilities. Everything after that is basically tweaking and building.

"We hope the woman's attorney will be able to accomplish what an ignored complaint to the TSA failed to—get some assholes fired."

Creases, folds and swoopy lines on a large RWD platform is too complicated to put into production?

@Vavon: I love Peugeot (I currently have a 406), but the only way to make the J9 better is to either scrap it or at least stop trying to make it.

@Vavon: Up until recently, Karsan was still making the Peugeot J9, as a school bus. Ford, Renault and various other manufacturers have established factories in Turkey. Unfortunately, the asshat religious fundamentalist government is making it harder for people to justify investing in the country. Soon we'll all be…

@ɹǝʌoɹ ǝƃuɐɹʇs: I think they would notice unintended acceleration half a mile before coming to the intersection. Acceleration of that magnitude would have them hitting the wall at much greater speeds, in which case the vehicle would be in much worse condition. My calculations are based on the conception that as per…

@ucbwayne: We've been making them for almost 10 years, I'd think the cost of working out kinks in a new production line would be prohibitive compared to just making them where the system works fine.
