I think Walrus and Beans have a secret truce and they are trying to fake me out

I would rather stick a garden fork in my eye than spend any time with the bloke be honest, but I have no desire to upset your truce. Miles will not be happy once he finishes pouring out the Dom Perignon for his cat on the advice of the same vet that sold him shale gas pills to make his farts more environmentally friendly and save money on the gas bill though.

That is a bit sick, I would spend time with anyone to avoid the garden fork in the eye, that really hurts but whatever floats ur boat

Whoa hang on... here comes the humour Police

Ok fine I have plenty of tech news

It might not the most elegant-looking thing on the road or in the sky, but an automobile-airplane hybrid that’s being called the world's first practical flying car is almost ready to spread its wings.

The two-passenger Transition will go on sale in the U.S. next year at an estimated price of $400,000, according to Terrafugia, the Woburn, Massachusetts-based firm that makes it.

The Transition has four wheels, folding wings and a rear-mounted “pusher” propeller. Powered by a four-cylinder hybrid-electric engine, it can fly 100 miles an hour at altitudes of up to 9,000 feet, with a flying range of 400 miles. There are controls for both flying and driving: for the roads, conventional brake and accelerator pedals and a steering wheel; for flying, the usual yoke and rudder pedals.

The vehicle converts from driving to flying mode in less than a minute, according to Terrafugia. But don’t expect it to get you out of a traffic jam. Though it’s the first vehicle certified to drive on U.S. roads and fly in U.S. skies, it can take off and land only at airfields — and you’ll need a pilot's license.

There have been some weird sightings in China over the past 10 years I have seen some videos of some very strange craft

Can u post any. I do know more people in China who reported seeing strange things in the sky than I do in my area, still only a handful of people.

[brocktonblockbust]

I don't know how to post on my phone but when I get to a PC I will do it. I started seeing them on the way back when I was in South Korea in 2008 some really shocking videos that did not look like they were fake or photoshopped

Breaking immigrants invading space

Blue Origin founder and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos predicts we'll have 1 trillion humans in the solar system one day — and he laid out Monday how the rocket company plans to help get there.
"I won't be alive to see the fulfillment of that long-term mission," Bezos said at the Wired 25th anniversary summit in San Francisco. "We are starting to bump up against the absolute true fact that Earth is finite."
Blue Origin's aim is to lower the cost of access to space, Bezos said. He will spend a "little more" than $1 billion next year to support Blue Origin

I think this could actually happen one day. Not in our lifetime but not too far away

Damn China is going to do this, it sounds cool but I don’t know if it’s a good thing

BEIJING: China is planning to launch its own "artificial moon" by 2020 to replace street lamps and lower electricity costs in urban areas, state media reported Friday (Oct 19).
Chengdu, a city in southwestern Sichuan province, is developing "illumination satellites" which will shine in tandem with the real moon, but are eight times brighter, according to China Daily.
The first man-made moon will launch from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan, with three more to follow in 2022 if the first test goes well, said Wu Chunfeng, head of Tian Fu New Area Science Society, the organisation responsible for the project.
Though the first launch will be experimental, the 2022 satellites "will be the real deal with great civic and commercial potential", he said in an interview with China Daily.
By reflecting light from the sun, the satellites could replace street lamps in urban areas, saving an estimated 1.2 billion yuan (US$170 million) a year in electricity costs for Chengdu, if the man-made moons illuminate an area of 50 square kilometers.
The extraterrestrial source of light could also help rescue efforts in disaster zones during blackouts, he added.

dudo the rest of the forum finds hysterical that you want to post a technology thread and you can't even get your snow blower going

Its pretty cool that streets can be illuminated via satellite.

I’m currently working on an app that would just kill both of you remotely, without my knowledge. The obituaries wouldn’t be released for years, either. I don’t know if it’d be because the results would negatively affect me personally, or just that the level of gratification would fry my reward circuits so badly I could never enjoy life again. Why don’t you both keep posting, so that one day I may find out.
