  2. IE Weapons License by Compholio · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In other news, the US House of Representatives has changed the language in a bill requiring Pentium 4 class processors to have a weapons license. Instead of Pentium 4s requiring a weapons license "Microsoft Internet Explorer" will now require a weapons license.

    ...I heard there's another device which uses electromagnetic radiation in the 400 to 700 nanometer range that allows the user to see lifelike 3D images through solid walls at even greater distances, at much higher resolution and without the need for bulky equipment...

    I think it was called a "window".

    If this device becomes widespread, the potential for privacy invasion would be HUGE! ;-)
