The Predators actually have very limited offensive capabilities such as 2 Hellfire missiles, normally what happens is the Predator paints the target with a laser designator and a near by gunship shoots the bird to nail the target. After the smoke clears the troop ship puts boots on the ground to do cleanup, damage assessment and take care of any squirters that manage to jump the arrow. If the Predators shot the mission, they would have to spend way too much time returning to base for re-loading and only shoot as a last resort
The way it usually works in real life is 1 part better technology, 1 part better strategy, 2 parts better tactics, 3 parts better trained troops 2 part less foreign financial aid to the insurgents, 1 part insurgents getting scared shitless because they are getting killed left and right
one would think to cover all of those topics through 6 films would require a week to achieve any depth and the rigor you would expect from a university course.
Well the CIA guy could just say, "since we're not punishing him it's not cruel and unusual punishment and since nobody is going to prosecute for the access device we don't care if it's admissible in court; besides it's so hard to find good training scenario for our augmented interrogation students!"
once you get to the gateway, you maybe able to identify the cable without too much difficulty and inject a tone signal and trace the signal through the cable to the device.
it's a very intense red LED, that exposure to the light emmited can cause blindness or skin burns

The way I understand it is the blackholes exist because the mass is sufficient to have an escape velocity exceeding the speed of light due to relivitistic effects like the Lorenz transformations. It interesting to note that these transformations are frame dependent and velocity dependent so if the blackholes really exist, they will only be blackholes along the axis of travel and will not be blackholes perpendicular to the axis of travel. Also as the blackholes will be colliding with other particles that are relatively stationary and will loose kenetic energy until eventually they will lose enough velocity and relativistic mass to cease being at blackhole at all; that should be quite an interesting event!
somehow I suspect that those batteries and the cells and other goodies have plenty of well recorded serial and lot numbers that make them less palatable for thieves.
Ahh good point, I guess we would have to shoot yourselves with two guns and have the bullets collide inside our brain to make a proper bad analogy out of it.
Dude the difference in classical velocity between a comic ray particle and a LHC proton is negligible, in fact one might expect that half of the cosmic ray are approaching the Earth as it recedes from the rays direction of travel and therefore would be going slower, than rays approaching the other side. A bad analogy would be considering the difference in damage caused by getting shot in the head by a rifle bullet while your running away from it as opposed to running towards it, which would be the cosmic rays vs. shooting yourself in the head with a rifle your carrying while running, which would be a LHC proton/mini-blackhole.

Does he explain how a proton is going to acquire enough mass into a small enough radius to turn into a blackhole without using lorenz transformations, E=mC^2 and relativistic weirdness?
Well a gram of water needs 500 some odd calories to turn into vapor so this will carry a bunch of heat into the upper atmosphere. Once up there above the majority of the CO2 it'll condense into droplets radiating IR into space.
The white fluffy clouds will reflect the short wavelength visible light into space instead of allowing it to warm the Earth and be emitted as long wavelength IR. I'm still somewhat skeptical about AGW but what the scientists are talking about is quite a bit more plausible, then what the Global Warming as religion morons are able to understand or explain; they really do their cause a disservice with their incoherent rantings and ravings.

It could even be an extension on a phone number.

it could be anything from a PS2 to a WRT54G to a full-blown computer.
yes but all of the cannibalistic mutants will be released during the reboot

also a battery is a collection of cells so it is also plural

so if a mini-blackhole shoots out of the LHC and eats Mars instead of the Earth, do you think Marvin will be very very angry?
it's a torque wrench, but that tie he's wear is real scary.
I'll chip in towards that, here's a check.
that's what the big-bang was you know, two half universe sized blackhole crashing into each other!

Some how I can't imagine anything with 1TeV of Kinetic energy being thought of at rest in any frame of reference; black hole or otherwise.
I suppose that the next round of grant money will look into ways around the laws of thermodynamics.

the article was talking about using wind turbines to power the rotors and pumps.
usually it's because they are the same country and color but a differing religion, tribe or political affiliation.
