How do I purchase one? Is it possible to attach to a phone to take a picture? Here is their website: http://www.foldscope.com/ Why would the initial test to 10,000 if it only costs $1. I would gladly pay $5 (if that include

Slightly unrelated but I think that Facebook should setup a parent company that has a different name. Whenever I see the phrase, "Facebook has acquired X" I can't help but think that the acquired company is both no longer tru

So this rocket is fully capable for vertical landing, they're just doing it over the ocean for safety reasons? That's awesome. Such a short time from initial testing to actual use. I wonder if they have a buoy or something for it

Is this one of their Grasshopper rockets? Apparently the name Grasshopper was just the name of the rocket during the tests, because I can't find that term used anywhere. http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2014/02/

It's not that easy in the US, the residential areas are much less dense and parking lots are huge.

That's just a mock-up / prototype room that is located at Raytheon in Portsmouth VA. Here is a image of a similar one that is really on a ship: http://www.gdlcs.com/sites/default/files/09-26561-039.j

Ohhh, I see, that does seem useful. I didn't understand the multiple similar waypoints verses a fixed waypoint at first glance.

Think of a small project and build it. If you think that part of it could be improved then take the time to rewrite it. Ask people to review the code and give you feedback. Web development requires practice, there's no way around it. T

Part of the problem is that many people can't own an electric vehicle because neither their apartment/condo or work has a place to charge it. You basically have to be a home owner in order to own an electric vehicle. That's n

Wow, why are the big automotive companies so bad at making a good looking electric vehicle? Or are we just spoiled with the looks of the Model S? From the article you linked to: "GM is reportedly losing more than $40,000 on each Volt&q

Thanks for pointing that out though, I wasn't aware that most people considered that term to mean that. I have a huge interest in drones (as I'm sure many of us do) and think it would be really neat to have a personal drone that c

Yeah, those are cool, and a really good idea. Some great outside-the-box thinking, "let's put blimps everywhere!" They're a lot larger than I thought after seeing that photo you linked to. I always assumed they were the

That might be the unofficial defining feature but a multirotor rotorcraft is simply one with multiple rotors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multirotor

The amount the customers pay should stay the same, unless the service is excellent, then a tip would be given to the wait-saff. Unfortunately the mindset of required tipping won't go away anytime soon. It's not going to happen unt

by dm2 13y ago
I hate the idea of implied mandatory tipping. Pay your staff sufficient wages please. Whatever laws allow the below minimum wage loophole should be eliminated or overwritten, or whatever you do to laws to make them invalid.

Blimps are making a comeback apparently. I think the goal is to use them as a central relay for communications and to put a bunch of cameras and sensors on them. Possibly even release smaller drones and allow drones to refuel or recharge on

After considering that some more, it seems like the court could (and maybe should) have ruled that it was simply a misunderstanding of the open-source code's license. It seems like a waste of everyone's time to even pursue a case

Ah, I had read that but didn't understand it at first. That seems wrong (unfair) that the state can go after someone for a crime after the federal government has already acquitted that person of the same crime.

Sergey did technically break the law (or so they reasonably thought) by taking company code with the intention of using it after he left the company. I think the real issue is whether or not he was acting maliciously, what the damage to Gol
