chassis Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 You know the military is like 10 years ahead of what they actually show you. Actually probably like 20... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 You know the military is like 10 years ahead of what they actually show you. Actually probably like 20... In some scenario's over 30 years ahead and then there's stuff that they will never want expose to mere public citizen's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest volg4 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 http://www.geekologie.com/2010/06/let_me_review_new_1w_lightsabe.php 1w laser for $300 which can blind instantly or could eventually set fire to skin and clothing, its also shaped like a light saber Warning: Extremely dangerous is an understatement to 1W of laser power. At close range, this Class 4 beam will cause immediate and irreversable retinal damage. Use with extreme caution and use only when wearing proper safety goggles with an O.D. of 3+ is required and 4.4+ for longer exposures. Customers will be required to completely read and agree to our Class 4 Laser Hazard Acknowledgment Form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodie Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 technology put to bad use (silly money system) agreed. it's primitive that we still choose to kill each other rather than working together to achieve more respectable goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we'd be as technologically advanced as we are now if the military hadn't put funding into it so they could use it to kill people.

Zephyr_Nova Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Excellent. This is exactly what we needed. I want to hear what the guy who wrote/directed Hardware has to say about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we'd be as technologically advanced as we are now if the military hadn't put funding into it so they could use it to kill people. you're missing the point on what we're saying. The technology is there to bring about a positive impact to benefit the world, but we choose to use it to kill one another. And this is because such industries like Raytheon are highly profitable: and so the saying goes -- "Profit before human concern". This is just one of the reasons why we should no longer have a monetary system, because war is deemed profitable and this is exactly what we don't want if we would like to survive.
