Re: The O/T thread! AIS is awesome, my parents have it on their boat (receiver not sender, they're really pricey!). It's practicle application is really for identifying craft and communicating with them in emergancies. I have an app for my iPhone which uses the camera, gps and internet connection to create an augmented reality view. Ie, I hold my phone up so I can see the ships on the screen and the name of the ship appears in real time. As you pan the phone, it loads up the ships you can see as they come into view. Clever stuff.

Re: The O/T thread! Woah!  Soviet “Pobeda” (“Victory”) car. According to Wikipedia: "In 1955-57, several thousands were built with a four-wheel drive system adapted from contemporary Soviet military vehicle (GAZ-69) for cross-country travel (designated GAZ-M-72). Russian references credit these as possibly being the first comfortable off-road vehicle with a closed unitized body." In other words, the world's first SUV!
