I googled Imagination Movers. 
I'd never heard of them before. I'll check them out, looks cool.
Thanks,

I can't help thinking that where bad ideas come from would be a more useful thing to explore at the moment!
|
|

Well, I think we all know where bad ideas originate
... people talking out their butts.
... politicians who fail to consider the unintended consequences of their "great ideas".
But, I think what you really want is a way to :
Destroy Bad Ideas.

I got an idea nine years ago. Waiting for the decade to complete, for it to materialize

I think it was Plato who said this but apparently every idea mankind has ever came up with has already been thought of by someone else for example wasn't it da vinci who originally came up with the helicopter and there was a man by the name of Shivkar Bāpuji Talpade who invented the airplane decades before the Wright brothers.

It is great that you have heard of Shivkar Talpade. Not many know him in India, as there is not much publicity; and moreover, there are conscious attempts to distort history to the convenience of some 'intellectuals'.

James Burke's Connections Series (especially the first season, there are three) covers a lot of that.
Highly recommended.
As well as his other series, The Day the Universe Changed.

And I'm getting ready:
Helicopter cleaned, lubed and bagged... check
BEC battery charged ... check
Backup BEC battery charged ... check
Transmitter charged ... check
Transmitter battery loaded ... check
Camera checked and memory cleared ... check
Flight batteries charged ... waiting for the last two
Looks like I'm almost ready to go. For Griff I will try to get a decanted or deflagrated cow on video. If we can find a good soundtrack, I might patch together a little video clip of the results, but nobody wants to listen to the motor for a few minutes.
Edit:
Ready to go: With Ahnold's words...[^]
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I will wait with that until I have first person view. Don't tell the cows, but I did have a nice big steak yesterday. From the supermarket.

Could you please tell me if my account has been suspended? I cannot see the reputation history.

If your account has been suspended, how could you log in?
The reputation history doesn't always appear, I am sure I have seen in a previous post it is something to do with the site load.

Leaving on a 10 day vacation to Poland tomorrow morning! 
I'm taking the laptop though, so if I have free WiFi in the hotels you won't even know I'm gone...
And I'll be studying maths for an exam I've got next month...
Man, where's the time I could leave everything behind for a few weeks and just get out without worries? 
Anyway, when the hotels don't have free WiFi I'll see you all when I get back!

What's your definition of a vacation?
|
|
|
|
|
I'll be doing fun stuff during the day
And hopefully not too much studying in the evening... But I just HAVE to pass this exam, last shot
I bring the laptop just for fun. Mostly.

I'm with Jörgen on this one, if this is a vacation what's work like?
