Thanks for essentially reiterating what I wrote b4 lol.

So is that your point? ~ they are gonna shoot all of the filesharers in this case with portable ray-guns...cool!



Yes, we all know tech can be fantastic but it ain't magical... even if it looks that way to primitive savages like yourself.

Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

Mez, YOU are the one beyond stupidity. You try and try to show what limited intelligence you have and fail at that. So please keep on opening your mouth as you are showing your stupidity with every post. And BTW, my source I gave you for the US Air Force is STILL waiting for you to contact them. You remember, the same one that you have never contacted yet insist does not exist? Whats a matter child, scared they will answer the phone?

Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

You people are all children. I'll turn 70 in December. I'll tell you one thing. Getting old sucks although probably not as much as not getting old. I think Hume Cronyn summed it up best when he said "The golden years my ass!".

I try.

did ya call in the white coats?

I've always wondered if it was someone trying to pull the leg, but with some of the stuff they must think 99% of the stuff is real and 100% working.

Open days at UNI/College are great ways of seeing some great new stuff, but hell even those people know 9 times out of 10 most the stuff is ideas written on paper.

oh well.

UPDATE

I checked out that Hot tub Time Machine documentary ddp and there was hardly anything on how it worked much less how to build one. To top it off, they didn't even appear to take the subject seriously at all! In fact, they seemed to treat it as some kind of joke!

Signed,
Disgusted.
