Bullet-Proof Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes
An anonymous reader notes a CNN.com report on Nanocomp Technologies, the first in the world to make sheets of carbon nanotubes. "In April, [CEO] Lashmore had a mechanical multicaliber gun shoot bullets at different versions of his sheet, each less than a fifth of an inch thick. ... Army tests show the material works as well as Kevlar. The military also hopes to replace copper wiring in planes and satellites with highly conductive nanotubes, saving millions of dollars in fuel costs."
the internet will be made of a series of these tubes, and we will remember the wise words of the prophet Ted Stevens.
You know, most people here are with average attention span of goldfish, you will not get too far as successful troll with such a long posts.
I suggest something shorter. Also as everybody knows, you should troll about Niggers and M$. Porn trolls just make keyboards wet. They will not create any discussion about your troll post as it's quite hard to type on such a sticky keyboard.
For more, search Trolling 101 on your preferred search engine. Unless it's Bing, as you'll find nothing.
Density is not the issue. Otherwise, we would go with lead. The nanotubes are, apparently, better able to spread an impact over a wider surface. This is the reason Kevlar is used and why nanotubes are being looked at.

I totally lost you. What?
