I don't think that the developers purpose of these gns is to be undetectable, but to bypass gun registration.

However, if that is your goal, then you could just make plastic ammo. A plastic bullet may not be as heavy as a metal one, and the casing might be a bit dangerous, but the right plastic may make it passable.

Remember, right now the fabrication machines are in their infancy. Just look at how computers have evolved. If these things evolve like computers have, simple guns like these will be the least of your problems.

But, a more important development would be an assault rubber band gun, with a 30+ clip.

Don't worry. In 30 years, you'll have been replaced by a robot. It will happily deal with all the technology worries, while a T-800 will have dealt with all of yours.

Instead of simulating a human brain, wouldn't it be better to start with something simplier. There is a worm that they have mapped out all of it's ells, from the egg up to fully grown. It wouldn't be much on conversation, but wouldn't it be better to simulate something like that to start with?

And when the experiment is over, you wouldn't have to worry about the ethics of "killing" it.

This administration is the most open, and honest that has ever existed. Haven't they been telling us this throughout Obamas campaign?

Just see how open and hosest they've been about Benghazi. As soon as it happened, we learned it was only because of a video that an individual had made. It was not a terrorist attack. We even have a film producer in prison for it, so it must be true. Anyway, it all george W Bushes fault.

And then there's Obamacare, which will only cost 900 billion over 10 years. No wait, thate 2.6 trillion, since it's now law. No, wait, that only before it starts to get implemented, the price will be a bit higher than that when it really starts. But not to worry, congress plans to exempt themselves from it, because the offordable health care plan is too expensive for them. Anyway, it's all George W Bushes fault.

Then there's the new IRS targeting conservative groups. Definatle George W Bushes fault, since it started in 2011. Obama didn't take office until, ummm, 2016?

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!

Have them write about some of these topics

Immanuel Velikovsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_Velikovsky)
Hollow Earth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_earth)
Flat earth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_earth)
Voynich manuscript (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript)

If they can read some of these, and remain sane, their heads are screwed on correctly.

Doesn't a name like that put a lot of people off from purchasing it?

A large percentage of the population doesn't care how something works. Al of their devices might be operating on magic, for all they care. If you ask the how something works, they'll show you what buttons they push, but will be unable to give an approximately correct answer to how the hardware does what it does.;

How does a microwave oven heat up their pasta? How does an optical mouse work? What happened to the antenna on their cell phone, and what is a cell? How does a touch panel know where you touched it? Why does their electric car (the volt for example) require gas? Why do all electronic devices require different chargers? What secret information is hidden in bar codes?

The government will take half of your messages, just like they do with the rest of your property.

If they're toting laser beams, they aren't going to be xenobacteria, they're gonna be xenosharks.

I'd guess that the ability to generate laser pulses with sufficient energy to destroy a boat while being small enough to not sink its transport would be a sufficiently difficult problem, that they decided not to make it harder by requiring wavelengths that they were currently not technically prepared for,

That, or the sharks refused to handle the other colors.

I don't have to worry about this

My mom won't let anyone into the basement for fear of ridicule.

Does that mean we should expect 4000 versions of falling block puzzles, 2000 versions of mines, and 1000 versions of solitaire? Plus numerous ports of adventure, hunt the wumpus, and super star trek.

Will there be a "lame" filter on the list of games available?

And what happens if you don't pay for a game? Do you only get a "demo" version which a cash transaction unlocks?

Keep the local Burger King phone number next to your resume.
