Return of Pain Ray-- microwave update

Some of you out there will remember earlier rants and reports about the development of a mobile microwave projector that the US has been toying with over the last several years. This article is the latest I've seen on it's expected deployment. For those uninitiated to the freedom created by this marvel, read carefully! Mounted on the back of a truck, or the underside of a helicopter, the pain ray works by bombarding people with low intensity microwaves. Not enough to cook your innards, but enough to boil the water present in your skin. While, supposedly, not yet tested in real life situations, the least this freedom wave will do is make you feel like every inch of your skin is on fire, upon such feeling you will most likely drop to the ground and do the freedom twitch until it is switched off. At the most, it'll cause the water in your skin to boil and burst, leaving you with numerous bloody, freedom stains all over your heretical, non-christian clothing.

The sooner this gets into the field, the sooner we can start transmitting freedom directly into the flesh, rather than taking that cumbersome route around through the ears and around the brain.
Unfortunately the link that this was connected has been taken down at Defense News dot Com http://www.defensenews.com/index.php A shame. Defense news cot com is a fine website. Lots of neat little articles. see also

this one from 2008 which discusses the expanding interest

and this one from February 2009 discussing the miniaturization

ah pain ray. I can't wait for you to infringe my civil rights, beneath my skin.

today's awesomeness

Sometimes absolutely nothing happens in a day. Then you have days like today.

A different Jackass giving you the death stare every ten minutes, old people throwing fits on the subway because you've got a different skin colour. Wading through a city built with arrogance and stupidity.

And then gems like these pop up:

"Giant Man eating birds from New Zealand!" Only extinct for about five centuries, the existence of these winged bloodthirsty marvels of nature give flight to my imagination, and should compel you to wonder about what else may be lurking in places where men fear to tread.

"Quantum computing takes another bold leap forward." As we forge forward into the quantum world, pushing our technology into a state where we can store data with light, we move ever closer to a ... well ... imagine a world where you didn't have to wait for your machines to catch up to you. Imagine a world where all human knowledge could be stored on a device that fit comfortably on your wrist. Imagine a world defined only by the boundaries of your imagination.......

"Also in the world of quantum computing." Teleportation is and always shall be damn cool. That we're on the edge of that beast, that we might be able to soon pop things in and out wherever we choose? Tele - F@#&ing - portation. Shit yeah.

"I"m not shitting you with a bunch of baloney." We're much further along than you might think.

"Saturn has thunderstorms that can last for eight months." There isn't much cooler than that. Check out the images, then remember how damn large that planet is. Rockin.

"some people can actually see time" because of the way that their brain is wired. What else could be perceived if there were more connections?

Sky's the limit people, once you get that foundation laid down.
