    Great, now I feel sad for virtual dogs too.

    What kind of sick sadist thinks these things up? My wife can't even walk past pets up for adoption without feeling depressed. #sniff

    @Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: I was thinking the same thing man.

    It actually makes me look forward to getting home later and seeing my #dog go nuts as soon as I walk through the door. I wish I could say my wife was as excited to see me walk through that same door...

    @UnderLoK: (Insert lame overused joke about your wife being as excited as the dog when I walk through your door here)

    Seriously though, my wife is usually pretty damn happy to see me when I come home.

    The cats however...are usually at the top of the steps meowing at me to feed them. At least they are when they're not trying to trip me and cause me to fall to my death. #sniff

    Note that it's sponsored by Raytheon. Presumably they're collecting data on the most effective uses of hydraulics and fans to make people throw up, which they will then sell to Google for use with the Stingrays.

    Back in spring 2003 I used the simulator they had in Disneyquest over at Disney World. I basically put in as many loop-the-loops and corkscrews as I was allowed, strapped in, and nearly hurled.

    It was fantastic.

    So, now you got a line to get on the ride that doesn't move because there are too many people taking FAR too long to create their own roller coaster experience.

    Couples would be the worst. He wanting more loops and she wanting to retain her lunch just a bit longer.

    @smegz: Knowing Disney it probably only gives you a short time to design the coaster before it finishes the track it's self timed to the time it takes to run the coaster for the people in front of you.

    And most Disney rides run reservation pass lines now so the people waiting are the ones who chose to wait.

    I understand they only show 4 robots at the time because of money and space issues, but I really want to see a demo of several dozens of the things forming an entire floor. Then you could probably walk at a regular pace without having to stop and wait all the time.
