…and apparently it didn’t like my brackets, either.

It’s like this:

Left angled bracket, lowercase “i”, right angled bracket turns it on

Left angled bracket, forward slash “/”, lowercase “i”, right angled bracket turns it off.

@31 Carl G – We do have italics. Use HTML code. For instance:

Here’s an italicized sentence.

Look for the little angled brackets above the comma and period key. Basically, to do italics, you type:

(left angled bracket “”)

That turns it on. To turn it off at the end of the sentence (paragraph, page, whatever), type:

(left angled bracket “”)

I’d type the code, but it would just turn everything all italicky…

@ #53.

A video on Moller’s site shows the latest version of his car hovering under its own power. No wires attached to it that I can make out. It may have taken him 40 to 50 years but it looks like he got the thing working. Now if he can just convince the FAA to let him fly it…

Maybe it just needs a different kind of software?

45. Naver Drol,

Years? More like decades, I remember the first Moller motorcycle engine powered flying saucer in the 1960s when he got some press in SCHOLASTIC MAGAZINE (Scholastic Magazines, Inc.)

#47 Spockish “Every time it looks like the [Mollar flying] car is nearing the finish line, some one discovers some new and more efficent method so the car needs redesigned to use it.”

Yeah – It kind of reminds me of the Tucker…
