10 technologies that refuse to die

Thermal abatement issues are more of a problem as well.

We were recently contacted by a contractor for a unit similar to cap chargers we make.

They are not even allowed to give us details. This project is actually showing promise. Not a true EMP, it is more like a directed mw beam or such.

You can bet they are serious about it. Being able to electronically disable an enemy does far more than cripple them from movement. It cripples their ability to call in for help as well.

An army with such devices could easily cut off groups of enemies from their support lines. This is a good thing.

They made far more progress punching dents into missile shells with eximer lasers from great distances. Pretty wild s*it, but not portable at all.

doesnt exist yet.

No. You are not hip because you jump into forums with no regard for protocols.

Ever heard that top posting is a bad thing. Well, in Usenet, it is.

Bone up on usenet.

Yeah. On their POS $300.00 receivers.

It takes a $25k audio front end to even be able to *SEE* the difference on a scope, much less *hear* it on the monitors.

Came up fine on mine after 4 blank page "done" no shows like that which you describe.

Go to msn directly yourself, then click the link while your page has already accessed their ssl sockets.

I have Firebird.

My seti page won't pop up directly from a link sometimes either. I have to click up the home page, then click my link. Only happens on their ssl server links. For me. It's probably Bill's fault, and not something that msn differentiates based on your browser as I have encountered it at other than MS sites.

snip long line.

Usenet line length is 72 characters, max.

but will scientific facts keep Dubya from trying to build a Death Star?

The Neutron Bomb seemed like such a great nerdy notion: kill the people and the communications gear; leave the buildings intact.

We'll test it in Europe ;-)

Well can you arrange to do it next week please, I fly to Boston in the morning, back next Saturday, much appreciated.

Boston? Poor bastard. What a piss hole of a city.

I have to agree, the worst thing about it is that as soon as you hire your car you are really thrown in at the deep end and it's frantic until you get out the other end of the Sumner tunnel where they extract money off you for the privalege of being stressed.

Don't you know about Boston cabs? Sit in the middle of the back seat and hold on to both door armrests ;-)

Or did you mean a rental car? Having spent four years driving in Boston plus forty-plus years of Arizona high-speed driving, it's me that plays the bluff game... there's nothing more fun than intimidating a Boston driver.

I just aim my car at them, floor it and watch 'em scramble ;-)

And here we thought you were the sweet, innocent, endearing gentleman-type. Boy were we ever wrong! Looks like I'll have to make two Marx generators now. One with a parabolic antenna for destroying cars filled with sub-woofers, and one with a parabolic antenna for disabling cars filled homicidal drivers. :)

Where did you dream up "sweet, innocent, endearing gentleman-type"? I've been a prankster all my life.

Regular electric guitar also, for some sound qualities.

The EMP pulse of a neutron device isn't that great. Not nearly as much as a standard nuke. No proofs that it would be enough to damage anything either.

The device I refer to will be causing electrical activity, instead of making it cease.

Approaching bombs simply won't reach their destination. They blowed up *real* good.
