Cars are safety tested based on different forces being applied to different areas.
One is a crusher that compresses the car from top to bottom.

« on: January 03, 2015, 09:11:24 PM »Wright brothers didn't invent the airplane.
US patent office recognizes the Wright Brothers - at least formerly - for holding the patents for the technology that allows fixed-wing flight.
More specifically, wing-warping technology and certain cross-section designs.
What's way cooler than all of this is that I think Orville Wright survived to see the X-1 flight, and was personally invited to Edwards to see it happen. He survived from the ages of horse and buggy to the dawn of supersonic flight. That's really cool.
they didn't even do that much
they managed to make a flight for 12 seconds
that was the longest thus far, and they knew exactly how to sell their invention
they were essentially the apple of their time: taking all the best ideas everyone else already had and marketing it well
Nope. Lots of Wright Brothers aircraft made flights way longer than that. One personal record was something like an hour and 100+ miles.
edit: Ain't the one I was looking for, but this is one: 33-minute flight by Wilbur at the bottom of this page

Hellsing.
Hellsing has the best music out of any anime I've watched (which isn't a lot). But they do have some really stupid names.

game design, while it might seem cool to be doing, can be loving BORING
There's often deadlines to deal with and a lot of people don't get all the testing and balancing and all that; they don't get how much work game designing really is and how often there is little payoff.
If you want to go into game design, you should go into computer science and work and a programming company that either directly does game design (which there aren't many large ones that aren't struggling) OR work at just some company that does programming and get a bunch of friends together and do it as a hobby. It's like art. You shouldn't go into it 100% unless money is no object for you because it's risky af.
