A car, nearly completely made of Lego (needed some support)

In the vid, you can see the individual cylinders providing propulsion...very neat

My eyes hurt because car's picture looks like pixelated.

Sorry, seen that too, afterwards. Still, the amount of work that went into that is amazing, never mind the idea that it actually worked/stayed together. I would guess that there is more than a bit of epoxy holding stuff together.

What a waste of time 
|

Why do you feel it is a waste of time?
It was a waste of time posting your comment....
And least they learned something in the process and produced something tangible to test their engineering capabilities.

What happen if it hits a human 
|
|
|
|

It has a top speed of about 1 mph. If it hits a human it will like stop.
If it hits a human, it was probably the human not paying attention and deserved to be hit!

Lego parts everywhere on the street. Suddenly being a bodyman becomes a much more time-consuming job.

Not to mention this thing is spreading like wildfire all over the Internet. They are getting a lot of attention and you never know where that can lead. Not a waste of time at all.

Not to mention it's some impressive engineering to get it to run on compressed air!

Imagine what it could do if it ran on Hamster Power

I like it, maybe one day i have the Money to buy me a cool car... made of lego
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

Amazing!
But...he's lucky he doesn't live in Britain.
He'd be done for:
1) No seat belt
2) No road tax
3) No MOT (or certificate of roadworthiness from the DVLA)
4) No number plate
5) Probably no insurance...

Where they not students?
So they were probably under the influence of 'things'...

It will be road tax exempt - 0% CO emissions.

It'd need a IVA[^], but as it's 'new' there'd be no requirement for an MOT.

In 10 minutes, the day will be done, and with it, the year. Almost...
We planned to have a huge luncheon tomorrow, return Monday for a half day, then out for 2 days for Christmas. I took a couple of days' vacation time to be off from then to the end of the year. But this morning we got a memo from the Tribal Chairman - the Council has declared Monday an additional holiday! So tomorrow we're still having lunch - I'm making a Prime Rib - then taking a half day off. Since I'll be spending most of my time in the morning preparing the luncheon, I'm effectively done for the year with work about 10 minutes after I click 'Post Message' below! Yay!!!!
PS - Just got paid today, and I'll get paid again before I return at a total cost of 3 vacation days. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!

Merry Christmas, Roger. Enjoy your break (and the ribs).
It's almost lunch time on Friday here so a few more hours and I too will be celebrating the end of a rather difficult year at work.

So I'm working with MySQL. First time in years. Don't much like the MySQL Workbench so I installed the TOAD freeware editor and it is fine though still a little heavy at times.
And then I recalled that I'd written a small app some years ago that would allow me to get a quick view of a schema and run some queries, amongst other things.
So I found a zip file that looked good and, lo and behold, out popped a working app and works pretty well.
So the next thing is to bring it up to date.
Can I find the source code? Can I hell. No idea what I did with it. The only saving grace is that it works and is usable. I can't be asked to re the thing so I guess I'll use it as is.
I just wonder where that damned code got to.

ILSpy can decompile it if you wrote it in .NET
|
|

I just downloaded JetBrains dotPeek[^]
Not only did it decompile; it saved it as a solution which I opened and built. No problem. Fabulous.

Yes, indeed, you are correct.

Much nicer than my epic reversing of a precompiled ASP.NET web site.
