- First-Person-Shooters persuade students to go havok with daddy's rifle. - Racing-Games persuade young drivers to bring the race to the streets. - RPG's cause people to neglect their real social live. And now it happened....... Today I caught myself going crazy in the drug store and biting the staff for i couldnt find those blue little pills which cause ghosts to go transparent so i could eat them for a short while......... Ridiculous: - its not the kids - its the parents you have to blame for no longer sharing inetrest in their kids lives - its not the parents - its the tremendous demands of their jobs and all the daily commitments that psyches them out - its not the hassle in life - its society that requires each and every of those ants to blindly play their role so everyone can survive No honestly, I've killed thousands of beings with my plasma-gun at the age of 12 - i caused thousands of accidents with my Lotus Esprit or Feisar Speeder - ive spend countless hours in Azeroth, solved every Lucas Arts riddle, geeeee - i was and i am a gamer. Now why did i not kill my teachers with a pumpgun or run into any people with my car ? 1. Because i refused to hang out with the dumb motherfucker from next door even in my early childhood. 2. Because my parents cared and i had to earn my computer-hours. The problem wasnt videos in the 80's - not dope in the 90's and its not computer-life in the ehhh 00's - the problem is parents who surrender to their lives and neglect - worse - forget abut kids. I plead for the "breeding-license" and pleaaaaaaase - i beg you folks out there for just a little common sense. We appreciate you talking crap - we really do and be assured - we will vote for you in the next election or buy your next book but goddammit - stop naming us dumb fu...'s cause this is the goddamn wrong address ! ;)

Scientists Make Item Invisible to Microwaves 219

Vicissidude writes "A team of American and British researchers has made a cloak of invisibility. In their experiment the scientists used microwaves to try and detect a copper cylinder. Like light and radar waves, microwaves bounce off objects making them visible and creating a shadow, though it has to be detected with instruments. If you can hide something from microwaves, you can hide it from radar and visible light. In effect the device, made of metamaterials — engineered mixtures of metal and circuit board materials, which could include ceramic, Teflon or fiber composite materials — channels the microwaves around the object being hidden. When water flows around a rock, co-author David R. Smith explained, the water recombines after it passes the rock and people looking at the water downstream would never know it had passed a rock. The first working cloak was in only two dimensions and did cast a small shadow, Smith acknowledged. The next step is to go for three dimensions and to eliminate any shadow."
