Feed the worlds hungry
and with the extra change-
Dust off one of those old Saturn V Apollo rockets and go to the moon to see if that stuff is actually up there...
I paged my own phone (Motorola Tri-Band) as you mention (guess I have access to an MSC/VLR at work ?). It truly did not ring but the screen DID light up. So there is an indication to look for at least from Moto's handsets. If your screen is lighting up but no ring follows it's time to put on your tinfoil hat (and pop off that battery).
By the way they are making some nice boxes to increase the accuracy of the GSM triangulation. This is demanded by the USA FCC for Enhanced 911 (emergency) service. It's also bound to be used for extremely targeted marketing (like local eCoupons) zapped to your new Java ready handset.
I dunno about that. If they had a few more pixels, I think someone on Slashdot would be happy to cook up an animation of Bill the Borge getting screwed from behind by a Penguin....
I guess that would make all those 'Secure' Microsoft IIS servers out there the Internet equivalent of - El - Nino...
Electromagnetic Rail Guns
on
Electric Armor
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I imagine one of these is hot enough and fast enough (5100 Mi/H) to minimize the effectiveness of electric armour.
Does anyone know how conductive Superheated Delpleted Uranium is ?
From our Army:
The newest class of weapons under development are an offshoot of thinking during the Reagan Administration. Initially intended for operation in space, the rail gun is a relatively simple concept based upon principles many beginning science classes could understand.
The rail gun uses a high precision milled armature, perhaps coated with teflon (or a liquid teflon like fluid) as a guide to a extremely hard metal projectile. The projectile is typically housed in a "sabot" like structure that splits apart and sheds itself from the projectile after exiting the "barrel" of the rail gun.
The rail gun uses a highly charged electromagnetic armature to provide initial thrust to the projectile by repelling it away and then accelerating the projectile in its sabot at intervals along the rail. Each pulse adds more than sufficient energy to accelerate the projectile and sabot. The target velocity is near 2500 kilometers per second or approximately 5100 MPH.
At this speed the projectile superheats.
The projectile delivers a shock wave and a heat wave, destroying the interior or armor protected vehicles or buildings.
* The sensitivity of our deep-space tracking antennas located around the world is truly amazing. The antennas must capture Voyager information from a signal so weak that the power striking the antenna is only 10 exponent -16 watts (1 part in 10 quadrillion). A modern-day electronic digital watch operates at a power level 20 billion times greater than this feeble level.

Will someone mod this thing to run XBOX games ? I always wanted robotwars@home. Vote: Does it suck or does it blow ?

It has a nice bonus.

Actually the US Navy does / or did fly F-16N - Top Gun school in Miramar had them painted to look Soviet.
These are the highest performance F-16 model due to the lack of the heavy gun.
The Marine corps had one too.
They couldn't fly from a carrier though so they weren't a big hit with the Navy.
Oops maybe I misspelled Borg (or maybe I was just protecting their good name)...
