Terahertz Imaging:Another Way to See Through Walls

Existing technology is used to measure sea temperatures through clouds via satellite, but newer cameras could be used in a huge array of applications because of their ability to see through walls, clothing, smoke and clouds. Google gets 546 hits on T-rays, inlcuding one from AT+T Bell Labs."

Yesterday morning, I had a Karma of 50. Now its down to 23. What happened? Michael happened -- He blew a fuse over a response I had written to one of his posts that pointed out he was abusing his power by using Slashdot to aire his lame-ass pissy fit about antivirus companies. He's one of those YRO shitheads that sleep with tinfoil hats on so the dogs in the neighborhood don't beam him messages in his sleep. Anyway, I pointed out that in the eyes of the APA, his love of Anime was on par with child porn. He didn't like that, so he went down the list of my recent posts and force modded them down, every single one of them. Posts that were 5 in the morning were -1 after lunch. Silly Michael.

Must suck being so sexually frustrated like that.

Anyway, I could care less if the gubmint wants to see me take a shit. I've often thought about inviting them to do so around April 15th every year, as my hard-earned money goes to support every other Lawanda's crack habit, that and her 18 kids.

Cheers,
PS.. its my birthday today.

Back when I was in high school, I walked into the kitchen one morning on the way to the bus, and my mom looks at me weird, and starts sniffing the air around me.. "You smell like a french whore!" she told me. Turns out I used one of those "decorative soaps" on accident. But yeah, its my birthday. Thanks. :)
