I agree about bot Foundation and Ringworld - but as far as I am concerned, I can pretty much count the number of good ones (both faithful to the written page AND a good movie) on the fingers of one...

I'm with Bill - Spaghetti anyhow/any way! Oh, and I like a little sauce with my parmesan cheese! ;)

Anyone like to try a really killer sauce recipe? This is a recipe from a local steakhouse that...

The B-70 was, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring airplanes ever built! Interestingly, there were only the two built (A and B) A is the one that is sitting on display at...

Aaarrrggghhh!!!! That place needs to be renamed "The Clueless Forum!" I don't think I've ever seen that much "Stoopid" concentrated in one place! I really liked the idiot trying to explain thre Orion...

A number of years back, I had a D-Link, but I kept having problems with it - I had it password protected, and it kept locking up. Found out that was a bug that whenever someone outside tried to guess...

I'm not an engineer (Biologist/QA Manager, and also professional writer), but I've sworn by the 0.5mm Pentel Quicker Clickers for many years now. I used to use the old 0.5mm Pentel mechanical pencil,...

Ok - I'm coming to this party late, but I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents anyway.

I decided to try this early in my "re-BAR-dom". I put a motor pod on the dime store glider. One thing I did...

If you are going to use paper streamers, be sure to protect them from the elements when not in use. They will suck moisture out of the air like a sponge - you'll be lucky to get two flights out of...

Shouldn't need to for almost any kind of Mylar film - Check out this video for a good folding technique.

Well, as I've mentioned before, our club's regionals feature some of the top NAR competitors (Chad Ring, Chan Stevens, Patrick Peterson, Jim Stum and several others on an occasional basis) and I'v...

Personally, I make mine out of the cheap space blankets you can get at Walmart or Target for a buck or two. I cut a rectangle the size of my streamer (2x20, 3x30 or 4x40) and then fanfold it...

Roddenberry named all twelve - and several of those appeared or were mentioned in the three year run of the series. Some of these were the Constitution, Exeter, Constellation, Valiant, Hood and...

Yeah, but we STILL don't know what a "Huckleberry Friend" is - I'm bettin' the only one who knew that was Johnny Mercer, and he ain't talkin'! ;p

Thanks for the replies - I'm currently driving an older (94) Buick Century, so my only cargo capacity is the trunk and back seats. Problem is that carrying an EZ-Up in a sedan is pretty much...

Time to get rid of my old heap and find a newer one. Currently I'm thinking along the lines of either a Chevy HHR or Chevy Equinox. Anyone here have any experience with either one?

Speaking of the dumbing down of science, have any of you seen what passes for a chemistry set these days? Vinegar and baking soda are probably the strongest chemicals included these days. Heck, my...

Oh, Lord - I worked for RS in 80. Inventory was the worst - we closed the store at regular closing time and everyone (including the manager's wife and anyone else we could rope in) just started going...

Yah - the 1/2A3-2 motor is a better choice for a glider. But only if the glide is light enough for a 1/2A. And the only way I will ever fly a glider on the 1/4A3-3 is with a piston.

I use emergency blanket Mylar for all my competion streamers. First, go to Apogee's website and look at the video tutorials. Tim has a video in there on how to crease a Mylar streamer using only your...

The one thing that isn't in the instruction archive are fin templates and paper accessories. Fortunately, between Jimz and YORS we have most of those. The Estes instructions do, in some cases, seem...

There is a TinyBASIC port to Raspbian - I plan to install it on mine. Since I don't have mine yet, I don't know if it can talk to the io ports, though.

I agree - ther is a two mile stretch between the two exits in the town where I work (50 mile commute from my home city to another much smaller one). There are ALWAYS some fools going 50 - 55 in a 70...

I'll think about that screen. I mostly plan to use mine to learn Linux and play around with programming - I miss having a "programmer's machine". I may end up ordering a second one later on just to...

Not playing thread necromancy here, but I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Model B Pi along with a small TV, case, WiFi Dongle and an SD card with Raspbian already installed on it. I ordered from...

Yeah, but there's ALWAYS some kind-hearted sucker in front of you that lets him in! :p

Easiest way is to get a pack of Estes launch lugs - never hurts to have spares. Second option is to pick up a piece of 5/32 or 3/16 brass tube to use as a mandrel. Cut a pice from an index card that...

I'll play - coolest car I ever had was a 71 Buick Skylark fastback with 350 V8 and factory installed Holley four barrel carbs. That thing would MOVE when I hit the gas (and you could almost see the...

I wouldn't go so far as to say that 60's SF was not scientific - more like Irwin Allen never let a science fact get in the way of whatever story he wanted to tell (look also at Voyage to the Bottom...

I'd have to say one of mine is when you get stuck in road construction and the sign says to merge into one lane, which is stop and go. Of course, as you are inching your way forward, there are plenty...

Personally, I doubt it. They haven't offered the E12 motors (they also don't offer the A8-0, A8-5 or A10-0 despite the fact that they would be perfect for many of the models they sell). Except for...
