I wouldn't be surprised if just delaying the server response by some 3 seconds will have the same effect on those scrapers as Anubis claims.

I wonder how many people are still actively using dialup and why. Frankly I cannot think of a single usecase.

I have an even better idea, give the thing a steering wheel and rubber tires and then you can do away with the rails!

I do not think it is very healthy to sit close to a 10-20 (maybe even more) watt rf antenna for a substantial amount of time.

You missed the last and most funny one

>Driving a gyrobus has the added complexity that the flywheel acts as a gyroscope that will resist changes in orientation, for example when a bus tilts while making a turn, assuming that the flywheel has a horizontal rotation axis.

So you have a giant blender than can travel one mile in a straight line before needing to be recharged

There once was a train that made clever use of that effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_monorail

I read this article about the recent landing of a private contraption on the moon. According to the article it carries a vacuum to be able to suck up moon dust. How do you do that in the moons vacuum? Anybody knows more about this?
