Walk-thru Fog Screen

fluor2 writes "Ever wanted a screen floating in air? Two scientists, Ismo Rakkolainen and Karri Palovuori, both from Tampere University of Technology, Finland have come up with an idea. It is called the Walk-thru Fog Screen. The fog screen, consisting of 'fog' that is blown down from top, and the protective laminar airflow creates a thin and crisp surface, pretty undisturbed by the air in the rest of the room, making it ideal for projector usage. People can walk right through this screen of fog. Their next idea is to use the fog as a touch-screen, making it even more accessible." For a screen one can walk through, the image quality is better than I'd have thought.

  1. Little girls took them! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Cynthia had Tammy, her twelve year old daughter from a previous marriage, when she and Paul had married two years earlier. The personality clash between Paul and Tammy was evident from the beginning. Tammy was independent to the point of being incorrigible and Paul was more than a little over bearing himself and determined to establish himself as the leader of the household. Paul had certain expectations of what a "little" girl should be and how she should conduct herself and Tammy did not conform to any of them. Upon returning home early Paul had discovered her stripped nude and necking with one of the neighborhood boys when she was still not quite thirteen. He was furious and grounded her for a month. Grounding was Paul's answer to all of the trouble that he and Tammy had and she was, naturally, resentful.
    During their first two years of marriage Cynthia had remained detached from the conflict and told them they must work it out between themselves. This always grated on Paul's nerves somewhat because her attitude was that Tammy was considered in her mind as being equal in their relationship. But Cynthia worked nights and he knew it was up to him to be the one to do the disciplining. While Paul did not consider them equal and himself to be the boss it did not prevent him from stealing glances at the young developing Tammy when she spent time around the house wearing very little clothing. When in bed at night with Cynthia his fantasies were often on Tammy and the peek he had stolen of her young charms earlier in the day. He was always especially horny after Tammy had some of her little girlfriends over for sleep overs. This extra attention in the bedroom was not lost on Cynthia. Even though she had never confronted him she knew that on the times that Tammy had several friends over for the weekend that Paul's sexual appetite for her was insatiable. She never mentioned her anger but was disgusted when he would climb on her several times a night when Tammy had company humping away with his pathetic little dick.

    Paul's leering attention was not lost on Tammy and her friends either. They had begun to deliberately expose themselves to him while trying to make it appear as though they were unaware that their little pussy's were showing. This did nothing but whet Paul's appetite for them and pay more attention to Cynthia in their bedroom.

    There was another side result of Tammy constantly "accidentally" allowing him to see her young body. Paul had now taken to spanking her as well as grounding her when he felt she needed discipline. The routine was always the same. He would order her to stand in front of him and strip from the waist down and then bend across his knees. He would stare at her up turned nakedness as he gave a long lecture about her errors before slapping her bare bottom with his hand. This was now often done in front of her friends and always resulted in her being able to feel his little dick pressing into her lower abdomen and her wetness streaming down her legs.

    But this last time had been especially brutal. Paul had returned home and caught Tammy kneeling in the living room floor sucking on her friend Tommy's massive erection. The second Paul burst into the room Tommy had jumped to his feet leaving teeth marks down the length of his impressive manhood and Tammy had simply sat there staring up at her stepfather smiling. She knew that he had often fantasized about having her young lips wrapped around his little dick and was enraged that she was giving a blowjob to some young neighborhood boy. Tommy was trying to get out the door when Paul ordered him to stop and witness Tammy's punishment for what she had just done. Tammy begged that he not do what she knew was coming. In spite of giving Tommy a blowjob he had never seen her naked and she did not want the embarrassment. Tommy seemed nervous and wanted to bolt out the door but froze when Paul yanked Tammy to him and roughly ripped her shorts and panties from her leaving her naked before them. Tommy stood and stared at her up turned crotch

  2. Dear Slashdot Readers, (PLEASE READ) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Dear Slashdot readers,

    This afternoon, I was called into a meeting with one of the VA Software Vice Presidents. I was informed that Slashdot, along with other OSDN sites, will be sold off to the highest bidder. This is for the purpose of hopefully saving VA Software from bankruptcy. I'm announcing this on Slashdot because to make this site as attractive as possible to potential buyers, we are going to have to enact some major reforms around here.

    First of all, we will be tracking what articles are read from your IP and account, and will be making this information available to advertisers upon request. Advertising is our most important source of revenue, and it's important to maximize what we can get out of it.

    Second, it's well known that for quite awhile, we've been accepting donations from corporations looking to promote a product. We accept the money and post a story on the front page with an extremely positive review of this product. We're taking this to the next level and will now be placing ads for our partners in any relevant story. This means that a story about operating systems might have an ad from Microsoft added in by our editorial staff. Once again, advertising is necessary for us to be profitable and to make Slashdot as attractive as possible to a potential buyer.

    And finally, trolls are ruining Slashdot. In the past, we have deleted posts secretly that went against views that we hold supreme. We've also deleted posts that portray us, the editorial staff, and others dear to us (such as my wife) in an unflattering way. We temporarily suspended this due to demands of Slashdot readers. To make Slashdot as attractive to purchase as possible, we will not only resume this practice, but will extend it to deleting any posts that portray our owners and advertising partners in a bad way.

    We are sorry, but this is the only way to keep Slashdot and VA Software afloat. We sincerely hope that you will understand. I'm not any happier about it than you are. I've always hoped this day would never come that advertising rules Slashdot. But even now, it's no worse than the rest of the internet. I hope that you, the readers, will continue to visit Slashdot.

    Thank you for your time and understanding.

    Dear Father O'Day:
    Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.

    I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).

    Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!

    Sincerely,

    Harry Rodman
    Vice-president
