Kickstarter Project provides another 1% of holodeck
Add in the Delta 6 Gun Controller and you're all set.
I've also seen people using Omni+Oculus+Razer Hydra (kinda like a Wii-mote or PS3 Move controller, but also senses relative position from the base station)

Louis CK - Of Course But Maybe
People lived to 35 at that time. They feared the desert and every year the flooding of the Nile saved the people for another year. If your religious leader that makes the Nile delta fertile every year wants to build a giant monument to the gods and leaders that have a connection to the gods then you do it, no force needed.

When I was around 9 in 1978, I met Muhammad Ali. I shook his hand in a restaurant called the Evergreen in Delta Junction, Alaska. He was in town to shoot a battery commercial.
United Airlines smashes $10,000 guitar
I have heard of musicians buying a ticket for their instrument, so it can have a seat. Is that possible with Delta?
Catching the Invisible Light
In certain cases, this would cause an energy drain rather than boost. Infrared light is pretty much the electromagnetic form of radiant heat (thermal radiation). In many places in the world, it is usually the times of cold that more energy is used; as the heat deltas of a cold winter are much greater than the heat delta of a hot summer. So, heat from the sun, as sparse as it is in the winter, is still radiating into your house. Blocking it, and turning it into electrical energy, then turning that back into heat energy is most surely a loosing proposition. Depending on the needs of the user, this might inflict a greater cost than cost savings. So while there are times that blocking thermal radiation and turning into electrical energy would be of worth, it is a regional issue that has a lot to do with local climate swings and average annual temperature; the colder the average temperature, the more of a waste this could be.
Dip Your Hand in Molten Lead Without Being Burned
Lead has the benefit of having a relatively low melting temperature among metals
(http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/melting-temperature-metals-d_860.html). I would imagine the significantly higher heat deltas might cause problems with this kind of effect...dunno. Building my smelting furnace in a couple of months, I will get back to you on that with empirical evidence!
Would this work with other metals???

Fox News Manipulates Test Then LIES About Driving High?
why not simply use a street sobriety field test? does a BAC or Delta 9 level serve as the only sufficient proof of intoxication in a court of law?

Awesome Vulcan Beachy Head Flypast, Eastbourne Airshow
Whooooooah. Pretty awesome-looking thing. And pretty awesome flying too, I can't imagine it's easy to bank a delta-wing aircraft to that degree!
Delta Lady - Tom Jones and Joe Cocker
>> ^Stormsinger:
Cocker always looked more like a parody of Belushi than vice versa...his movements and expressions are -so- weird, they're just not believable as an actual performance.
He looks positively possessed! =oD

FAA is going to freak if they find this video and incident has not been reported. o.0
I'm right there with you, that may in fact be one hell of a major no-no and I hope they were over empty lands.
I wonder under normal regulations if they are actually even supposed to continue operating in an event like that, considering all the regulations put on flying (there are a lot). I know it looks like some guy's dumpy car just lost a side door, no biggy, but in flying they breath fire down your neck for missing certain bolts or those said bolts even being remotely loose... I'll have to look and see if a pilot can make a judgment call concerning no mandatory operation machinery attached to the craft coming off (that may be part of the main fuselage!)
I did look and see that the national statistic on flights that should have remained grounded getting fixed (some problems not so big, some big enough that when the plane landed emergency crews were needed to put out fires, not including MANY of the emergency landings at the wrong airport before the plane truly does CRASH) that number comes in at around 65000 flights over six years... This is from the FAA, so we're talking about mostly small business's up to large airlines like Delta. BUT, it must always be remembered that they do a better job than your average driver and their car by far; they just have much more "flashier" endings I guess you could say. Which makes the media frenzy about it like a feeding pool that CNN & FOX News ALIKE, engorge until nothing is left but the tasteless morsels that just reiterate everything we have been told by them before this...it is unfortunate that not only we are exposed to this media circus, but also that 'flying' is being dragged through the toxin-filled-sludge created by our media-hype-elite...
I'd figure the ONE group of people that might actually take great care of their machinery is the smaller business and solo-flyer's. I know one of my grandfather's brother spent hours on end with his plane making sure it was in tip-top shape and making sure his flight plans were exacting (he was kinda a bush-pilot, so that was important to him, if you know what I mean). A small off-topic element to this: I remember going through his flight plans and maps that went up through the Western U.S., into Western Canada, then into lower Alaska...it was amazing to see what detail he went into to get the job done; I would feel very safe flying with him if I ever did, because of the extreme measures he went to to get everything right...
I wonder if the pilot had to worry about anything when they landed, it's impossible to see from the clip, but you don't see if it goes up at all and hits the plane--but, I'd assume since everyone is acting basically happy and fine (no panic at all) I assume that the rest of that flight went normally, except for that and the large amounts of paperwork that wold follow it... (Assuming they weren't idiotic and DID report it...)
Found a little blurp about it here.

Nah it wasn't our fault. There were ten 'other' jumpers before us. Some were new and didn't know how to operate it. On takeoff they failed to close it properly and then in the back from held it down with there feet till 2500 where two of them stood up to close it properly. When they stood on it it was pushed below the stops on either side (the angle iron shaped things) and then turned the handle. I am assuming the locking pin went below the frame of the door. At height they stood to open the door - stepping on the door and turning the handle. The door didn't rise. They then stood on it harder with no change to the result. They then stood on it harder and pushed it down into the wind and it caught air and took off. One of the coolest things I have ever seen. The door landed in the quarry and has been recovered - it needs about $100 in repairs and will be back in action this weekend (or so i have been told).
Was looking for more on it but so far zip.
