But... you've got to understand that there are plenty of people who WILL be bothered by this and you should be supporting them in their view. It might be your turn to need support next.
The point is that when you get somebody to strip it's obvious what you're doing. With a machine you can bullshit them over it (no, it's not really naked...)
They *are* feasible for most people, there's a "what if" psychological block in place - the same blockage that makes people drive gas guzzler trucks every day just for the two times a year they actually need one.
Um, yes, except that AK-47 rounds come out the other side taking a bunch of energy with them. Nato.223 doesn't - it tumbles and delivers all its energy to the target.

a) Put the C4 in your intestines.
b) Wear a latex belly full of explosives/guns.
c) Be fat and hide stuff in the folds of skin
What we really need to do before signing off on anything is give a machine to Mythbusters for a couple of weeks, see what they can come up with.

Re: I too have wondered why China isn't going big on nuclear.
Ummmm....they are: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.09/china.html
Either that or there's nothing of any real value in Afghanistan and being there is helping to ruin the US economy. Win-win (for them).
Ok, let's caller them greener technologies. How's that?
Not to mention that if you read the summary the Chinese are also leapfrogging everybody in nuclear and cleaned up fossil fuels too.
It's a secret...
Do pebble bed reactors still need research? It's 1960's tech...

Are these the same people who said IRAQ was full of WMDs and terrorists?
I checked some of them out...
Most were considerably *worse* than Windows' built-in calculator - which I didn't think was possible.
Is there a Windows version? Not everybody uses Linux you know...
Um, yes, except that AK-47 rounds come out the other side taking a bunch of energy with them. Nato .223 doesn't - it tumbles and delivers all its energy to the target.
Plus it's a lot more expensive. Lose-lose, methinks.
Are you sure they care enough about this??
I saw it done in Excel once...
Only if you ignore the worldwide copper shortage...
Why not? People are cheap and can be produced using unskilled labor. Even if it was a "one-way" trip I bet you'd have plenty of people signing up.
They could be learning to post on /. - the pinnacle of civilized interaction with other people.
Correction of errors is what separates science from religion.
But I wonder if the press will tell people this strengthens the case, not weakens it? (ie. evidence was scrutinized and corrected)
Did you misspell "more evil" - the evil could be about to start!
Doesn't matter. There's no shortage of people who believe spamming will make them rich. Spam isn't going to go away just because it doesn't work.
I'd rather play a really exciting game for ten hours than a mediocre game for thirty hours.
...AND the $$$ exchange rate is pitiful at the moment.
Work it out in numbers of Big Macs and you'll get a better result.
