Looks like the plane will last forever. That old technology is better than the new stuff in many ways. The controls are all hard-wired with mechanical linkages. The magneto means the engine keeps running even if the the alternator or battery fails.

Even with no electric power, a pilot can keep flying.

Im not surprised for kids of this age not to know.

For more of this i give you, Kids react to old technology. I always get a kick out of these. Kids are hillarious and awesome.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Accelerate science so I can go back in time to re-experience old technology.

this is hardly the first time in history. art has always looked both to new and old technology and techniques and has always looked to push the edges of both, which is exactly what this is. and people DEFINITELY took pictures in the 70s with technology from the 30s.

>> ^Crosswords:

Lobbyists should only be able to make their case during official recorded meetings. None of those dinner, club or trips to a Scottish golf course meetings; including staff working for the politician. Plus former staff members should not be allowed to lobby, ever. Obviously way too much temptation for corruption.


Should the same be had of a citizen writing his congressman? What would the legal difference be between a lobby and a "normal" person. If you try and legislate this, it will only be a matter of time before normal people get caught in the cross-hairs. My solution would be to roll back the responsibility of the government to regulate those things we hold dear and do it ourselves. New technology and know how is making "outsourcing" of major responsibilities no longer necessary. All to often, government officials have no real expertise on the things we want them to look after anyway, how many 60 year old technology minded Senators exist currently or ever? Which understand the intricacies of the biological world of the cell? To great the cost for such ignorant people. Best in our hands, best by our means. The creative solutions of interesting people and communities would be fair more beneficial to all than one monolithic, solution managed by fools. This has problems of its own, but is a far cry from the corruption that an overly legal, federal understanding of life holds for us...ask Russia.

Nice idea, but they definitely would have benefited from a producer. That drop was way too short. They should have gone to a taller building and had a couple of secondary camera men on the lower floors recording as the radio flew by.

Needs a longer drop for some doppler effect.


Or some relativistic speeds.

Nerdddddd

Also accurate.

Looks amazing... why don't games look anywhere near this good?

Because consoles are holding us back. Not much you can do with 512mb of ram and 5 year old technology.

Saying cutting edge technology from 5 years ago is not cutting edge anymore is not console vs pc flamebait.

Funny, as I was watching this video, I was thinking that I'm just about ready for the next gen. Anyone else? Unfortunately I'm pretty sure we have another 4-5 years wait.


I'm getting there, but all the major players are talking about a 7-10 year lifecycle on the current gen, and depending on when you want to start the clock we're on year 3 or 4.
