How about bending and confining flames using electromagnetic waves and then weakening them? Would that help?

FTA:

"The electric field it emits achieved this by creating an ionic wind that displaces the combustion zone from the fuel source.

Being able to bend flames might seem like a very cool but ultimately useless method of firefighting, however the system will come in handy when fires rage out of control in enclosed spaces "the flames can be redirected to provide safe passage, if they cannot be extinguished completely. The method also prevents the fire spreading, and thus renders it localized and easier to control."

If you continue to read the article further you'll see that these are part of continuing research into manipulating cold plasma. It is not just using sound waves but also electromagnetic waves which they can manipulate to bend flames in the direction they want. Also, try keep in mind that a laboratory experiment is going to very different from the methods and devices that will eventually be developed from the flame behavior modeling this research produces.

I really do recommend reading the article, it's obvious this is years away from practical application. The point is that while this science has been known at the basic level for a long time, no additional research and modelling has been done in years and they are proud of the fact that they get to advance this research significantly.

A nice snippet from the article regarding the second parallel electromagnetic research:

"The Instant Fire Suppression project was specifically launched to devise new ways of tackling fires in enclosed spaces, such as aircraft cockpits and ship holds, where fires are obviously devastating and incredibly difficult to control." - TFA

There are parents lazy enough to use walkie talkies to keep track of their kids at the mall? You've seen this and haven't punched them in the face? Shame on you.

Couldn't let the comment slide without a little musical accompaniment.

Someone get this man a thorozine and haldol cocktail before he becomes a danger to himself and others.

No, the scene where they used a big machine to cut through several levels of vault and then put the money into duffle bags that they carried with them proves that he stole the money. Shooting a hostage who was trying to help him in the head proves he was a criminal....you know what? Watch the damn movie yourself.

I mean of all the....damn people haven't even seen Die Hard.

No, there's no question. Hans Gruber definitely stole the money, there were guns and everything.

Really? You're calling out a Superhero movie, because the guy in the impervious flying suit of armor equipped with future tech repulsor blasts and powered by a cold fusion reactor the size of a paperweight, didn't hit any civilians with his inch sized AI guided missiles? But the fact that he didn't slaughter civilians is the great lie that the movie is perpetrating?

Stupid?

Well Zip Cars has already done pretty well for itself with a similar business model, so I don't see how this is stupid at all.

Of course since you're falsely equating a car to a house, perhaps this means you are not merely using your car for transportation. In that case I would agree, this would not be a good option for people who live in their cars.

Scruffy gonna die the way he lived.

Well, you know, you're walking around town, turn a corner into a dark alleyway and come face to face with a ram and a pig, spinning around to leave you see a horse has your only escape blocked with his bulk. They've got a hungry look in their eyes and you know you're not getting out of this unscathed. The ram slams into your chest forcing you to the ground and you just keep on telling yourself not to let them see you cry.

Stop animal rape today. If you see something, say something or it could be your story some day.

Yeah, never really been a problem in NY or Texas, but perhaps you aren't the type to get to know a bar owner and get special permission to have your kid chill with you there. Never fear though, there really are plenty of restaurants that can double as a bar you can watch sports at, such as Applebee's, TGIF Friday's, Ruby Tuesdays, Chilli's, well you get the idea.

As for Becky's favorite shows, well I'm certain there's some form of medication for that.
