Sadly no camera per default, but you can 'easily' add one yourself.

Indeed. It also has an interesting and hilarous history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Beams "The Battle of the Beams was a period early in the Second World War when bombers of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) used a number

Oh, I had a lot of fun with (spinning) stalls in light planes, they certainly exist ;)

Some modern small aircrafts (think Cessna instead of 747) actually have a full plane recovery system: a chute for the whole thing :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_Recovery_Systems#Pro...

I don't really know, I've never flown one for real. Judging by flying remote-controlled models and the idea that a tail is basically a direct controller of pitch and yaw regardless of form I would say it's not a big difference when turning.

It can even do the opposite and precede your actual orientiation.

Just getting it to turn is easy. Getting it right is hard for a few reasons: First, instead of the first derivation of direction like a steering wheel in a car the stick/yoke of a plane actually controls the second derivation of the heading

And then there are projects like the door lock on our hackerspace which unlocks the door with an RFID-Reader and allows user-management via the web. A perfectly reasonable application for a webserver switching a relais.

No. Sorry to shatter the dream of FTL communication. You cannot achieve it with entangled particles. While it seems like there is some transfer of information going on its much better to think of two entangled photons as a pair of dice whic

For what its worth (and I'm no designer): I really like the mobile version of your design. The text is easy readable, the sections clear and there is no annoying clutter.

Add a space every now an then and it becomes a 'real' maze: #include <stdio.h> main() { for(;;) {printf(rand()%2 ? "╱":"╲"); if(rand()%100<1) putchar(' ');} }

Thanks for the references. It is as you say: Science in general is getting over it's somewhat childish dislike for anything that has to do with "Cold Fusion" and there is some earnest research going on. And why not? If there is a chance col

Even with such a preshared rule book you wouldn't get any FTL communication. You could crate a pair of random number generators this way which will always give the same result. Certainly useful for cryptographic purposes but sadly not direc

Woah, you are right, thank you! So far, the beta driver seems to run somewhat smoother than the nouveau-version. 3D is certainly faster.

Thanks, I always wondered about this. The threshold seems to be a bit higher though: Nicole060 has made 8 comments as of now.

On the other hand, Nvidia still has no proper support for multiple monitors under Linux. Yes, you can have two and yes, you can rotate them. But only both at the same time. Luckily, the opensource driver seems to work quite nicely on my sys

Yes, there is work going on to achieve that. Airplanes can fly quite well in thinner air, they just have to fly faster or have bigger wings. I don't know about helicopters or balloons, but there is a project which aims to bring a solar-powe

You may have point there. However, I experience math (and programming) quite differently than learning a language or painting: Once I grasp a concept, I can use it. Before that, it's mostly useless to me. Execercising it more afterwards do

A very interesting idea! It's well known that storm create static electricity, but I've never thought of it the other way around. How does electricity shape the weather? Thunderstorms are a highly complex system and I'm not an expert, so I

Heise developed this last year. They made a two-stage like-button which is disabled by default and sends no data to FB et al. When you first click on it, the real button loads and you can then share what you want. http://www.heise.de/ct/ar

On that note, Dale Carnegie's classic "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" is always worth mentioning. He wrote this in 1948 and even today it is as relevant as ever. (The most famous book of his - "How to Win Friends and Influence Peopl

Impressive. And now I'm wondering if a Minecraft inside Minecraft would actually be realizable. As 8bit CPUs have already been made (altough with unknown architecture), it is a bit less crazy to imagine running linux with a java stack on it
