Well,
remember this, no matter how long a person lives, they will always be stupid. People will continue to take risks and kill themselves as well as other..the just what humans do.
Dont you think that we may have found a way to move off earth by the time that comes into play? Seems like living forever is a good thing. Where do I signup?
Good point, but that's not the main use of Bluetooth. The main use is cable replacment is manufacturing. Sensor networks and things like that. In fact I have a customers who sells 10's of thousands of Bluetooth units that dont say Bluetooth anywhere on it. It's there though. Consumer market is really small for BT thanks to the BT SIG and its great marketing. Industry is driving the increase in speed..not you with your PDA and Cell phone. sorry mates.
i hate to be the one to say this, but you really have no idea how true your statement really is. The BT SIG is in the process of making some changes that effect the livelyhood of many people just for the sake of politics.
"Crap drivers crashing into your house - now that's a different matter."
Yeah no kidding, the house at the end of my block had a car go right into the living room and that was one of those old fashion driving on the ground cars. So it makes no fucking difference whether you are flying or not, bottom line is, if you have shit luck someone will hit your house no matter what!
Just what we all need, yet another way to watch TV. I really hate having to go work or for that matter outside because I am missing TV.
Jeez! As mom says, Go outside and PLAY!!
Id rather see Dell test the waters with AMD. Not that I hate linux or anything. I use it daily for work. Its not something I would use on my computer though.
I think its wrong to assume that any move away from windows is a good move. After all, Windows is not THAT bad. It is really easy to use. I doubt you could say the same about all the linux distos. Although I hear many-a-claim that its soooo easy. Maybe to people who have been trained on it.
Anyhow, maybe it will put some preasure on MS to actually improve windows and give us a better product..feel free to mod me down.
Yes, A DU round would indeed pass right through it. My point is not that we have the exact same thing right now, i am saying that we are at a starting point and if you think about the timeline is is not that insane to think in the future this technology would have advanced much.
A simple google search for electric tank armor will show you what I am talking about hero/ now just so you know I am right and you are not here is a link http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?x ml=%2F news%2F2002%2F08%2F19%2Fnmod19.xml
No that is not what I am refering to. I was watching it on the science channel. Like I said, there are different layers. When the copper from the shell goes through it completes the circuit and vaporizes the copper before it can do anything. I know what you are talking about however and it is not the same thing i am talking about. Ill see if I can find the link and post it for you to read.
sure you can. that particuler part will no longer be effective, but you can recharge the overall system. Im just saying its not that far out there.
Think about things that we have now. Shape memory alloys. dupont is even making plastics that can repair them selves.
We all know that there have been major advances in conductive plastics, so who is to say that using that plus a reactive armor type system would not yield this effect? Once it gets blasted the plastic repairs itself. then the thing recharges. And yes I know that the plastic can only repair itself a few times, but thats not the point now is it?
There really is charged armor now. As Im sure many of you have read about, the DOD as well as the Brits have developed a new type of armor for our tanks that basically acts a huge cap. Once the shell hits the side and goes throught the first part it shorts out the two side and is vaporized. So its really not that far out there when you consider we already use it now. Oh, and it does "wear away"
That actually would not cost to much more to store when compared to the cost of getting your film done at a 1 hour photo. Considering I payed 10 bucks for a 50 pack of cd's which is about normal. So * that by 700 meg and/by 1.7gig and you've got 20.5 pictures @ 49 cents a pic.Now to develope a single 25 picture roll of kodak APS film is 10.00 (9.99 actually). so thats 40 cents a print. Yes I know it would be hard to break the image between three disks but im just saying cost wise its not much at all.
"Remember, a cellular phone satelite doesn't have people complaining about it being in their back yard" First off a cellular phone does not transmit enough power to make a call to a satalite. That means people would have to get new phones and phone companies would have to get new techs. It will be a long long time before its cheaper to put a satalite in space then it is to stick a antenna on the water tower.
Take a look at them. They are janky POS's. Its built from freaken wood. The wonderment we get from the originals is not really the shape or the function of it, but rather the fact that it was built from huge blocks of impossible to move rocks. Its the fact that the blocks are so wildly huge that we can only guess how they were able to build something to such a high degree of precision, while we who are so advanced would struggle to reproduce it. So Im sorry, but some bone heads making a fake stone henge out of wood which wont last 10 years let alone 10,000 is just LAME!
Not to say its not cool (see not cool) or anything, but it's just a little out of scale.
I mean the little figures are as tall as the engines. Plus its made of plywood.

no, but i bet linux can.

I'd still be connected to the net at the same speed so who cares.
