Maybe it’s just me but this article seems to be disjointed and needs a bit more info or links to flesh it out. And that paragraph at the end feels like it was just kinda stuck on cause it had no place else to go…

Or I may just have gas today…

GREAT!

Now lets see those 14 that voted for explain it when they get home… Maybe the folks that put them in office can see to it that they get voted out next round…

I want to see what kind of motor they are using. Rare earth magnets and Oxygen free copper wiring to start off with at the least.

25 watts to achieve 30 mph. Thats less than a watt a mile per hour…

US aims Star Trek ray guns at nuclear sites – vnunet.com

I gotta wonder what type of material it will take to shield against this. Shouldn’t take much.

The first thing that came to mind was the French sound weapon from the mid 60’s. Would work fine till some dampening material was added to the subjects and then no effects.

Not sure what it would take to shield against 95Ghz.

From the site:
“ADT emits a 95GHz non-ionizing electromagnetic beam of energy that penetrates approximately 1/64 of an inch into human skin tissue, where nerve receptors are concentrated.”

Seems to me that the old tin foil hat trick should work fine. Or a body suit impregnated with graphite or metal power. Be interesting to see how long it takes to defeat this “Star Trek Weapon”.

My mom called about 9 to tell me that my dad was out of surgery. He has prostrate cancer and has already had it cut out once. This time they inserted radioactive pellets that are susposed to cause things to shrink. He came through fine. Has to stay in the hospital till he pees good and they see that nothing is gonna come back out that way then will come home.

Cool! A totally different way of looking at voice recognition. The 1 kb of memory the article mentions is just unbelievable. And they claim that that amount is enough for all numerals and some simple commands! In Russian only so far…

This is cool! I have, just this last week, discovered xampp which I now have running on puppy linux, pclos linux and mac os X. The only one that gave any trouble was puppy and that was minor. More later on all this. Will fix links in then too. Time for some shut eye…
