One thousand years from now

By that criteria, a box of thumbtacks would be a weapon of mass destruction.

Put them around the explosive and they will be. We can discuss the definition of "mass" though.

Certainly could be a weapon of ass destruction.

Very droll...

Those are all good ones, but what about all the new and improved WMD, and loads of seriously pissed off folks that have nothing better to do or further to loose, that are still looking for a fight down to the last man, woman and child.

The good news, at least coal will have become a thing of the past.

Perhaps by then we'll be running mostly via drawing upon on geothermal energy, burning thorium and otherwise running off of he3/fusion, unless the LHC manages to create a terrestrial nova or any number of those pesky black holes.

Correct, such as burning the dysfunctional bodies (dead or alive) of Vladimir Vassilevsky, via some newfangled kind of biological/he3 fusion.

And perhaps by then the White House will have become a synagogue, and more than 75% of the global population will have become of one sort or another public funded, as representing bigger government and their vast army of brown-nosed minions. Meaning that one man, woman and child out of four has to pay for everything.

Here's a thought, put them in a cylinder in front of the explosive and then we can direct them...

That is bullshit. IF you actually used your brain while watching that crap, you would have noted that the ONLY place that cloak "appeared" to be invisible was when one looked through the viewing screen. Maybe you missed that little tid bit. That was VIRTUAL invisibility.

ZERO external viewers see invisibility, and projectors are required even for those that do get to look through the little screen to see the "effect".

The cloak itself, however, has exactly ZERO capacity to cloak anything beneath it.

You need more common sense.

See "brainlessness index". There is a picture of you.

Productivy will be so huge that 1% of the population could produce everything everybody needs.

So what will the other 99% do?

Why don't you eat a box or two, and we'll see if it destroys you, ass.

Logical conclusion: why any population at all? All people required do make their lifes mutually comfortable probably constitute less then 1% of the population... Others are only creating the problems... How about that?

DimBulb, you're so cute when you're mad. Now go put mommy's panties back in her hamper and get ready for bed.

The greatest fear of a society is to lose existance. This can be through either outside > We still have problems with noise

You write that particularly with voice recognition / speech synthesis in mind. I think this is a universal challenge. If you can develop a general theory that can suppress any noise without loss of information, then make sure you earn one cent for each implementation.

Destroy what the 1% produced.
