And it exploding from above, aka "air-burst" and will do far more damage pound for pound

Although, at this time the lift capacity of even a small fleet of quad rotors would not be more than you could stuff in an SUV or box van.

Too complicated.

The more the car costs, the more evil it can do... after all, you can afford it.

Darwin's Law?

Telegraphs were sent by Morse code. It is a period, but it is a said and printed STOP

Morse is not used anymore, last commercial use was at KPH, in Point Reyes California.

Snell updated the testing some time ago, the AC above is correct and 2009 a piece was run in the NY Times, written by a Motorcyclist editor:

The fundamental flaw was that the Snell testing did not account for the weight of a S-M-L head and the fact that foam density needed to change with head size as head weight changed.

Revised in 2010, and later standards, they did correct the issue. To be fair, Snell was already going to update the standards, they do so every 5 years since 1970.

I don't own a Snell rated helmet because only 2 Modular helmets pass the Snell 2010 tests and neither is the right shape for my head.

I wear a Shoei Multitech, which is ECE and DOT approved.

Not exactly true.

One of the benefits of a Snell rating, which is rare to find in anything but a $300 list price helmet (you can find deals of course) is the testing is done in Snell's labs, not the manufacturer's lab like DOT. (Hence part of the price difference)

Snell requires testing against significantly higher energy impacts as well.

I did. Dammit!

They told me the Vespa was cool, man!

This would go perfect with my $600 75 Honda CB550 and my $300 72 XS650, not to mention the $500 78 Vespa P200!

I think I am doing it wrong.

Except a standard $100 helmet vrs a standard $500 helmet is a huge improvement in safety and feature set.

The question is: is this a $100 helmet with $1299 of gadgets, or a $500 helmet with $799 of gadgets.

Maybe there will be a niche for this product, but I don't know of but a handful of motorcyclists interested in the helmet.

I suggest librag.

would consider lifting 30Kg to be superhuman.

The Gigafactory should be located in Low Earth Orbit with a polar orbit path. Limitless power from the sun andraw material provided by captured asteroid.
Delivery will be by Virgin Galactic.

Mr. Howard would like a word with you...

I was really surprised that Oracle did not build database optimization right into the M series SPARC chipset like SUN did for the T series and Java.

DB/2 on IBM hardware definitely gets a boost from software/hardware integration.
