Brilliant!

@em745aa

Not when you take R&D and the reduced number of planes being built than proposed into account. The more planes built, the less R&D per plane costs.

Be sure to let us know when it actually works. This should have been labeled a nonworking prototype.

It would be even better if the narrator didn't run his mouth during the whole thing.

Wow. This is excellent.

They're not playing backwards, they're playing a guitar like a banjo.

Someone went to a lot of effort to make this car porn video, but I HATE the new CLS body styling. From the pig snout that sticks out past the front bumper to the Audi-like LED daytime running lights, the awful side creases and rear wheel hump to the rounded short short trunk. Yuck. They've rui...

@mepickulongtime I have an older minivan, so I just used what I had at hand--a Wonderbar and a large screwdriver to hold the door open, and a long stiff wire bent to fit through the door and toward the door lock, with a hook at the end to grab the lock. It took longer than a few minutes, but th...

ELuhn, they're going to dynamically soar these kites? Interesting.

@skysthelimit112, as I write this it has gotten 11,845,475 views. Do you know how many life hours this has wasted just for watching the video, not to mention all of the time people have spent responding to it?

187,553.4 hours taken out of our lives that we'll never get back. That's a lot of l...

Come on. The camera turned away from him (or her, we really can't tell) long enough that he could have walked behind the cameraman or left. FAIL.

(cont.) repeal Glass-Steagal and deregulate derivatives until Clinton came along.

Progressives and real Democrats have a president from their party that doesn't represent them, and very few in Congress that do.

Woweewowowow.

Incredible how it got so close to the roof and walls throughout the flight, circle after circle, without hitting anything. It's always a pleasure to see a really well trimmed glider fly, whether RC or free flight.

Since the Contour video is so much darker here compared to the GoPro, though far less noticeable in a different side by side comparison I watched, I'm wondering if the Contour was mounted inside a waterproof case, or if the white balance was off?

One unusual thing noticed in the other video I sa...

This is so fake it's ridiculous. That "firing" looked more like cheesy fake lightning, not like anything actually being fired.

@snehesten More likely 200 mw. Smaller by a factor of one million.

This smells too much like an urban legend. And I was no fan of the Bush administration.

Who was the hyperactive cameraman?

I've put in 44 orders with HK with no problems, but I've heard too many horror stories about HK customer service by reputable people to have much confidence in it. However if you have a bad LiPo or other product and can send the faulty item to your regional warehouse (USA, European, etc.) I hear...

I'm surprised that Bruce glossed over the verification screen where it shows R: (number of cells read) and S: (number of cells set.) This is a very important screen. If the two numbers don't match, then you should recheck how many cells in series your pack has, against how many cells in series ...

Regarding FedEx, drivers have to -buy their own vehicles- and work as "subcontractors," so technically they aren't employees of FedEx, which is ridiculous. I don't work for FedEx, but I do hope that their employees (who are paid like employees,) get some justice. BTW, I've never had a damaged p...

The worst American shipper is UPS. I've seen them drop a fragile package of mine onto the curb, and they've left incredibly mangled packages at my door.

Good US shippers:

USPS Priority Mail. Never a damaged package.

Greyhound Package Xpress (Greyhound bus.) Super fast, never damaged even larg...

Multiply this and all the problems with electronic voting with the tens of thousands of voting precincts across America, and who knows what is happening with the outcome of each election. Don't rely on the political parties for handling elections honestly, either. Jimmy Carter, in his book "Tur...

@Kali1050, I'm an atheist, but don't blame someone in an intense emergency situation for nervously calling for God's help while they're doing their best to deal with the situation. If I had been one of those pilots I would have been swearing, which would be equally ineffective, yet extremely com...

The first 2/3 of the video is taken from a distance -at night-, even when up close outside of the plane you can't make out much detail, and the inside view is totally dark except for a short look at the instruments.

I'd recommend that the cameraman take an editing and lighting class before posti...

Since a stall warning is rather important, I suspect that it's annoying on purpose.

Trolls always leave a trail of ignorance in their wake.

Although it would be fairly trivial to make a motor system that would be quieter than the bike itself, in a race with cheering spectators and other nearby noisy bicycles, a motor system wouldn't even need to be silent not to be heard. Research RC brushless motor systems and see how much power yo...
