Hand picked by Kerry on August 29th, 2008As I wrote in the comments, HOW are there not hundreds of people crushed each day on these trains?
Thanks, calinazaret! Great find.
Human Exoskeleton Suit Helps Paralyzed Man Walk Again
Hand picked by Raghu on August 26th, 2008This is a pretty good civilian use of an exoskeleton.
If you look at all the science fiction stories, it is amazing that the gadgets they describe become reality in the future.
Is it that science fiction authors come up with ideas that scientists and researchers like and develop or the scientists come up with ideas that the science fiction authors use?
Thank you, y2000, for sharing this with the Mixx community.
Beijing 2008 - It’s a wrap
Hand picked by Kori on August 25th, 2008There were almost too many memorable moments to count during this year’s Olympic Games, but the Boston Globe managed to capture some of the most exciting and emotional images from Beijing. Take a look back on all the guts and the glory in their moving picture montage.
Thank you for the great submission, Maing. This will certainly be an Olympics to remember!
Mr. Obama’s Task
Hand picked by Jeremy on August 25th, 2008After nearly two years of posturing, positioning, and platitudes, finally the 2008 campaign begins! The New York Times gets in front of this week’s Democratic National Convention with a valuable primer on what we’ll see, and what we should REALLY be looking for, from Barack Obama and the Dems in Denver. Added bonus: Columnist Paul Krugman looks forward to the Obama campaign getting into the “politics of personal destruction.” Why? Because “many Democrats have had the sick feeling that once again their candidate brought a knife to a gunfight.” Saddle up, America.
Great post, VioletPlanet.

Star Trek warp drive is a possibility, say scientists
Hand picked by Chris on August 19th, 2008I am not exactly a “Trekkie” but this story definitely caught my eye! I have two questions:
1. If you had access to warp drive, where would you go?
2. Do you really think the dilithium crystals can take it?
Good stuff, SilentJay74!
UPDATE: Turns out we had two versions of this story in our database, due to a bug
We’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that s_lockyer also submitted the Telegraph story 2 days earlier.
