Or none of it. At that point he actually thought it was a series of tubes. We hear metaphor but he was speaking literally.

At least, in the end, his death was a series of heavy jolts and possibly an explosion. He lived as he died, descriptively.

It'd be really sweet if the families of anyone killed by a legally speeding driver got the $25.

I'm sad that the article left out Quietus. Definitely the best aged-care option.

You're talking about thermal imaging. That's not how IR used for night-vision works. Your IR remote control doesn't shoot a jet of warmth at the TV. It's just a spectrum of light slightly outside of what we see.

Actual IR cameras work so well for finding people because of what's REFLECTING the IR light. Synthetic materials reflect differently to the sorts of things you find in the wild. Additionally IR is useful for marking friendlies in such a way that people without IR gear can't see.

Modern night-vision goggles use a combination of low-light sensitive cameras, IR imagery and image processing to enhance the image. I'm not actually sure if you'll find thermal imaging in use at all for combat situations.

Keeping that in mind, because the images are often of such low quality the concept of bending light around an object- even with large distortion errors - works very well. You're merely adapting the entire cloak to suit the surrounds, which is exactly what modern techniques for hiding from IR cams involves, except you disguise yourself with the surrounding foliage/debris/whatever. Same materials, same colour, same IR reflectivity. Fooling our eyes in daylight is going to be a little harder.

Mnemosyne says hi and also you're welcome.

You make an excellent point.

For my part, I'd like to point out that if Google wanted to read your email, they wouldn't bother collecting wifi data. They'd just read yer fucking email.

Exactly. It's not like products from the US don't make these sorts of outlandish claims every day. The US is even WORSE for bogus science claims, thanks to your large tinfoil hat legion. Our little NK is growing up.

Maybe the plot should be repoed.

Jude Law could start in THAT, too. It'd be like Gattaca but different which is just like all his other movies. The man knows how to milk a theme.

I got 32 and I want your job.

I stopped caring as soon as you mentioned star trek.

If you have an OLED overlay, you also have a dynamic brightness blocker that can tint itself to dim blinding objects.

What they don't mention is how they'll introduce focus to the system. I suspect we'll see see another filter layer of millions of tiny tubes or tiny lenses.

Well, no. Try this:

Putting someone else's resources to work where they are most urgently needed: communism
Putting someone else's resources to work where they will return the greatest profit: capitalism

Seems to me need would indicate you as being some kind of commie red. Which I fully support. Always put people before business.

Sometimes you just have too many flags to really want to be hammering things haphazardly into a single line. In that case guided scripts seem like a fine solution, too. Any simple frameworks out there to save reinventing the wheel?

It's much more professional to call it "an iypervisor". Or something like that. Y is nature's spare vowel.
