There is an easier way of making, say, a military aircraft almost invisible, one that has already being discussed by scientists. The plane is covered in pixcels and is fitted with video cameras looking in different directions.
So the camera looking upwards would film the sky, which would be displayed as a basic TV image on the underside of the aircraft while a a downward looking camera would be wired to display the terrain on its upper surfaces. Neat and simple although the side view could be a problem!!!

Err…. they do in my experience – school bullies, mob bullying etc. I’d say it’s the other way round! Children have an instinctive capacity to hate and it is controlling or diluting this attribute en masse as they grow up that determines how civilised our society is. It’s called the process of socialisation.

3 May, 2006 at 11:47 am #212791This occurred in a foreign land and is a barbaric form of justice, even if the murdrer deserved to die. China uses the death penalty a lot, as do many other countries including the USA, Russia and almost anywhere in the middle east.
In the European Union we do not have the death penalty and we must be very careful not to allow an exception for muslims to impose Sharia law on each other within Europe. That would be multiculturalist PC gone mad!!!!

When people talk about things that have damaged this country in the last 40 years they talk about the hippy era, trade unions, Thatcher/yuppies, new Labour etc. Punk is rarely mentioned but I think that it is responsibe for a lot of the yob behaviour we see now. Punk is the one era of music in this country that is best forgotten.

27 April, 2006 at 12:32 pm #211466We don’t yet hear much about people giving up their computers. Yet there must be a growing number of people who were part of the net-surfing, messaging PC generation but have turned their back on their comps.

Biggest problem is amount of time one can spend (my son’s addicted to Runescape, MSN etc.)
Still, I suppose time spent on the internet is often time that would otherwise have been spent watching telly!
When I was young I can remember spending ages just keeping a Scalextric car going round and round to see how long I could keep going without crashing. Not much different from computer games.
We have made a bit of money from Ebay and I do online share trading as an alternative to pouring money into a pension scheme that might decide it can’t pay me anything. Not big bucks, mind, I’m not exactly the next George Soros!!!
