Synthetic Vision

oniony writes "Ars Technica has a link to a story on new goggles being developed for/by the military. The new device uses satellite imaging and land profiling to build a 3D representation of the world in a soldier's goggles in real-time. This would enable troops to see through sand storms and oil smoke of the kind currently hampering operations in the Gulf. I imagine one could also remove mountains to allow remote viewing of approaching territory."

Re:Unproven = untrustworthy = low SAT scores!

[adzoox]

That is a false analogy (Unproven = untrustworthy).

The Apple iPod is a good example.

Untested waters for Apple, Apple not "well received" by entire PC population, different, semi-unpopular connection scheme, new type of hard drive never released on mass consumer scale- low profit margin market - what else could have been more unproven about the iPod? It has become one of the most critically acclaimed gadgets of the past two years and is made to a very high quality (typical Apple, but always exceptions) standard.

Your analogy would earn you a low SAT and fits in with my signature, read below :)

MOD PARENT UP!!

Money flows like rivers, and those who can siphon it off to their personal/political Las Vegas or Phoenix want to dam it up, and control it, to implement their will. Sometimes I wish I could control where my tax money goes. I end up paying the government their mandatory money, then they funnel it off to their war, to corporate welfare, or to rich people. Then the trickle of money I have left needs to go to oxfam to help the humanitarian effort in iraq that the U.S. won't pay nearly enough of my tax money for.
