Please tell me the proceeds from this sale went to NASA...

Except, maybe, the many different 3D printed prosthetic hands that are coming off of Makerbots and other "low end" printers?

I stand corrected; and here I thought the Revolution was the first looping coaster. It's actually the first looping coaster with tubular track. :)

Then a perfectly circular loop is just fine because there is no entry/exit point for the kinectic energy to dissipate. In these situations, the ride usually "rocks" itself down.

Only partially true. People can, and have, passed out on elliptical loops as well. It depends on a lot of factors like age, inner-ear function, weight, etc. I've seen people pass out on coasters after going through elliptical loops.

Not true. Go ride the Revolution at Magic Mountain. It has a circular loop. You'll walk off the ride just fine.

The very first roller coaster with an inverted loop was opened at Six Flagg's Magic Mountain in 1976 and was called the "Revolution." It has a perfectly circular loop. As I recall from my trip that summer, the cars did not have head rests like they do now, and when you got to the bottom exit point of the loop, it…

There would be no basis for a lawsuit. If you're out in public, anyone can take your photo without asking your permission. The only exception to that is if they are going to use that photo for commercial purposes, in which case, and especially if your face is discernible in the finished photo, they need to secure a…

He is correct. They are out in public, and if it is clearly visible with the naked eye, he is not invading privacy. To be safe though, he'd be best off blurring the content of the conversation, because the person on the other end does have an expectation of privacy.

It's incredibly clever!

Use your imagination a little. Tap into your inner-child.

I remember the first time I heard "Trans Europe Express." I was in a public playground in Flushing, NY, after school, playing paddleball with some friends, when the song started blaring from a boom-box. I was entranced. I bought the album as soon as I had the money for it, and have been a fan ever since.

Okay, cool. So the universe is mind-blowingly hugemongous, even though it has a definitive size which implies a 'container' of some sort. But what gets me everytime I try to think about this is, what's outside the boundaries of our universe? Is it more universes/universii, and when you reach the boundaries of what…

Woo hoo!

That guy in red has anger management issues.

If this is really all for the purposes of making voters more inclined to voting, then wouldn't a redistricting accomplish the same task without having to create six states out of the one current state?

It's a beautiful house; however, considering the cost of living in San Francisco, and costs for property, I don't even want to think about what this place is worth!

It's beautiful, but why can't these guys make something like this that's truly affordable for common folks?

Okay, so now, no one can read your email between the server and your computer; but Google can still read it, and the NSA can still read it, and the hackers can still read it, and... Well, you get the drift.

As a current GameStop employee, I can tell you this would not work for several reasons:
