Max Jenius Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 If this fails, I'll just close it. Board rules still apply. Anubis is running the show for me here. He will be reporting to the mods if things get out of hand. Til then; have fun! To start things off.... Like Cats, but have allergies? Have one engineered! Quote
Smiley424 Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Nice, I heard about the no-allergy cats. I'll try to keep the thread going, though this is from last week Ipod photo New Ipod with color screen to show photos. Frankly, I'll wait for the video Ipod thank you. Quote
Guppy Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Excellent idea max. Especially that I work on a kid's tv show so I can farm all of you for story ideas.. just like the machines farm the humans for power in the Matrix.. meheheheh... Quote

Solscud007 Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Not sure if this qualifies, but have you guys watched Mythbusters on TLC? kinda cool. They showed a slowmotion shot of a water balloon sitting on a table being popped by an X-acto knife. the rubber blew apart in a fraction of a second. Leaving the ball of water hanging on the table for a second before falling. it was cool looking Quote

Anubis Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Wall-climbing autonomous vehicle wins robotics competition at international conference Use air circulation to create suction to walk on the walls and ceiling. Quote
Solscud007 Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 What is so great about that? They ahve toys that can do that. And then there is the rescue system In think called Gecko. It is a one man scaling device. Runs off a device like a scuba tank. You ahve these large shield sized paddles. that have suction cups on them. It can cling to smooth concrete. good for scaling skyscrapers. Quote

What was novel about the robot I posted was that the suction itself is done without making contact to the surface, that way the legs can move as easily as on the ground Quote
Max Jenius Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 How about a nuclear powered tree? Funny you'd grab that from my home-town paper. Quote

Jemstone Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 So are there prehistoric hobbits or what? Quote
Solscud007 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Yeah sort of. I read in a newspaper about some find on a remote island in the south pacific. They found remains of a three foot race of people. Who had mastered tool making and fire. Something about inbreeding can create small offspring or large ones. Same island had LARGE komodo dragons. Supposedly the reamins were so recent that havent fossilized yet. So its like newer than neanderthal, I think. Quote
Anubis Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 After reaching Mach 6.83 earlier this year, now NASA's going to try to get close to Mach 10 with their new Scramjet engine. Quote

In fact, they may have only died out as recently as 12,000 years ago, which is pretty darn recent for any human relatives. But they were also a strange mix of features, some of which were fairly primitive. I'll be curious to see how scientists fit them into the evolutionary tree. Quote

I'll be curious to see how scientists fit them into the evolutionary tree. they put them under a bonzai tree. think they would live out longer, large animals tend to die out much easily than the smaller cousins.

Commander McBride Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Anyone else think that that race may be part of the origin of the Dwarf mythology? Quote
