  1. Re:I for one welcome our new cryptographic overlor by ckaminski · · Score: 1 · on Encrypted Cell Phone Hits the Market
    You say this in a day and age when people are building cruise missiles for under $5000, and building homemade scanning tunneling electron microscopes.

    Nothing a good set of radio receivers and a few moderately powerful computers cannot fix.

    Don't laugh.
    5000 cruise missle project

    It's freeking a scary thing. Those V-1 bombs didin't cost that much.

  3. DIY Pulse Jet (and Missile) by femto · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Pulse Detonation Engines: The Future of Aviation
    Maybe Bruce Simpson in New Zealand has the lead on them? He's been building pulse jets for years and even has DIY plans for one. He's considering covering the design with th GPL. Imagine that, a GPLd jet engine!

    Yes, he is the guy of DIY cruise missile fame.

  4. What ? But those model planes suck ! by o'reor · · Score: 1 · on 11-Pound Model Plane Vs. The Atlantic, Again
    C'mon, you would'nt even be able to put a 10 lb payload on them. And they wouldn't be moving much faster than 70 mph.

    This project is much more interesting. $5000, that's the price of a third-hand car. How many of these puppies can an Al-Qaeda-like organisation build ?

  5. The project reminds me.. by SpiritedAway · · Score: 1 · on 11-Pound Model Plane Vs. The Atlantic, Again

    The project reminds me of this project. (Building a home made cruise missile)

    But Imagine the possibilities what terrorists could do if they get hold of the plans to this "model plane".

    "Watch me build one for under $5000."

  7. So? This guy is building his own ... by torpor · · Score: 1 · on Build Your Own Boeing 737 Simulator

    ... cruise missile.

    With wonderful plans like this around, I guess terrorists-in-training won't no need to use the flightsim to work out how to crash into the Statue of Liberty any more ...

  8. Conflict not across Atlantic... by rediguana · · Score: -1, Redundant · on Rescue Mission For European Space Industry

    but above it. At least according to this article. Scary how a number of these things are starting to come together at the same time... it sounds like it is in the rest of the world's interest to support anything that isn't American. Which is a real pity that the DOD just can't play nice with the rest of us. Cheap, GPS guided cruise missile anyone?.
