What's worse is not knowing if you've been throttled or not.

Every time I've had a series of slow connections, I start to worry.

Not that I've ever downloaded anything over Bit Torrent that was copyrighted, of course!

Swiss Man Flies With Jet Powered Wing 247

NotBornYesterday writes "After spending $190,000 and 'countless hours' building a set of jet-powered wings, a Swiss man has successfully demoed this ultimate mother-of-all-toys. After jumping from a plane like a skydiver, he then lit the four jet engines and proceeded to fly around a valley in the Alps at up to 186 miles per hour. His site is here, if you want to see shots of him in action. 'I still haven't used the full potential,' he said."

My name is Glenn and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work in the online video industry and I created the online series OpAphid and REDEARTH88. I was also a Lonelygirl15 writer-director. For about half of my life, I was a journalist covering video and computer games, along with other kinds of interactive technology. I wrote for the San Francisco Examiner, as well as Wired Magazine, GameSpot, CNET, and others. For about seven years, I also provided the male vocals for the band Headboard, where I was the front man and MC. And after eight years of lurking here on Slashdot, I was finally motivated to sign up for an account!
