> In terms of construction scores (from 1 to 10 where 10 represents a perfectly built trolley), men averaged 8.9 with instructions, 7.6 without; the women averaged 7.5 with, and 5.7 without. The women spent more time building and did a w

The purpose of technology is to make things easier for people, not harder. I personally haven't had problems with this and am fine using your strategy, but I still think Facebook is smart for trying to tackle an issue that clearly a l

This does not fit into the "right not to be offended" issues going on today. Being exposed to pictures/videos/comments of exes getting married is not an issue that many people had to deal with 20 years ago. If the same

If you're interested in the concept of personal airplanes replacing commercial flight, I highly recommend "Free Flight" by James Fallows. There's a lot of things working against the concept. Weather constraints and spor

In the long term, Las Vegas is in way more trouble than California. California has several sources for its water, and even though those sources are pretty pitiful right now, there are always be the emergency fall-backs of desalination (at

Would you mind linking the SR-71 story? Somehow I never saw that.

This is not a realistic theory. Nearly all of the costs associated with making and marketing the movie have already been spent. Even if the movie was a complete dud next week, it would still be making revenue in the theaters that would be

I'm having the same problem. Initially it would go to my Account Overview and just show a blank page, but after logging out and logging back in again, I'm getting the error that it can't retrieve my accounts :(

You're welcome in advance. I don't think people making cross-country train trips are doing so for the convenience or to save money. As you can imagine, it's sort of a cool way to "see America" from the romantic per

As a pilot, I hope not. Ballistic parachute systems are a great safety feature, but they are not something that you ever want to have to depend on.

I won't let you down! We are very much out of the concept phase and into production mode. Our factory is currently set up to be able to produce 50 aircraft in 2014. The waiting game right now is with Certification with the FAA, whic

Great question! I'll try and go over all the costs for you here: Annual Inspection: ~$400 Insurance: $17/mo. for just liability, $130/mo. for full coverage. Hangar Fees: $0-$500/mo. (varies greatly on location. Our

It looks like they're actually talking about making it a 5 or 6 seater. There is a strong direct relationship between maximum weight of a plane and the cost/fuel consumption of the engine required to power that plane. A plane as

That is a sick looking plane! I would fly that thing in a heartbeat. Make no mistake though, if that plane makes it to the market it will be extremely expensive and will burn a whole lot of fuel. The engine they're using, the 200 HP

For all that studying you did, you still seem to be able to squeeze a lot of BS into your HN comments. As an analogy, becoming a commercial pilot requires 1500 hours of flying time and hundreds of additional hours of studying outside of thi

Ahh poor reading on my behalf. Valid point, although many people build side projects that fulfill a valid need that never get adapted. You usually don't have the luxury of a marketing budget or the time to promote your idea effective

That doesn't mean it wasn't a side project. I'm not sure, but I'll bet Alan Schaaf got pretty deep into Imgur before he quit his day job for it.

Yeah, it's one thing to charge companies for phone calls when they were going to call you anyways, it's another thing to suggest to a company that you're interested in a bulk order, and then charge them to send you the inform

If you're taking advantage of the removable wings and not renting hanger space, operational costs are $12 an hour (fuel, oil, and engine maintenance included). At the 118 mph cruise speed, that's $0.10 a mile.
