It wasn't used until about 10 years ago. Additionally, there is zero official proof that theyre neither 10 or 25. Most people estimate 15-20. Internet is an example. Who knows what R&D has now. We have so many top secret bases out west that have all sorts of things being developed. rumor has it they already figure out cloaking.. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 26,2010 11:08am - sigh ""] I don't see a clone army happening any time soon. Unless the laws change or it is being done independently in secret. Even then, a cloned human still has to develop from childhood to adulthood. This is where the technology would need to be developed further. Accelerate the growth and limit the lifespan as a failsafe. Cloning is already being done everyday, it's just usually something less sci-fi like e coli being cloned. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 26,2010 11:13am - arilliusbm ""] yea. I'd say give or take 100 years. But we mist surpass ethical opposition to the concept. I had an awesome idea one day about cloning Neanderthals and breeding them for military purposes. they'd make perfect grunts. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 26,2010 11:18am - the_reverend ""] except for them dying from extinction again and not being able to keep up with homo sapiens. DARPA's computing and super computing is 10 years ahead of us. This might have been 15-25 years in the past, but computing technology generations are shrinking. Plus, the government is now partnering more with private companies that want to make money off the investments they made. |

(that we know about) are usually in development for 20ish years before we know about them. Then again, not sure how the economy is affecting our R&D. We still give most of our tax money to it so they better have something cool. Laser Guns and Light Sabers plz. |

We have so many top secret bases out west that have all sorts of things being developed. rumor has it they already figure out cloaking.. We don't use the latest and greatest technology when we can still get away with flying F-16's and A-10's still. We don't have a superior threat we need to match or exceed yet. The F-22 JSF and F-35 have been in development for as long as I can remember but are still not in use. Although Israel just placed an order for some F-35's. Obama killed off the F-22 which is a shame as many believed it to be the superior fighter. We try to get the longest lifespan possible out of our technology before retiring it. Case in point...the space shuttle. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 26,2010 11:27am - arilliusbm ""] Yep. It's funny how all these other countries are flying our old F16s. Nothing wrong with the F16 but of it really came down to it, we could destroy one easily. Obama did kill the F22- forgot about that. Russia has some good jets now.. |

And aril, you are confusing things here. Just cause something is under-development doesn't mean that it's here. If that were the case, RTTP v4.0 is already here in all it's web2.0 and html5 goodness cause I started developing it. Also, military R&D is all about computing technology. |

They didn't stick to the schedule at all today and didn't hand out an updated schedule to the public. There were no big planes at all. Besides the fighter jet demos the rest of the day was filled with some aerobatics and smoke stuff which I'd say only about 30 minutes worth combined was interesting. The Golden Knights were not as snazzy as I anticipated. The sun beat the shit out of us so we decided to leave and skip the Blue Angels which I'm guessing was the only cool thing left. Waiting 4 hours to leave the base at 5pm in traffic would not have been so cool. Anyway.. I spent a total of 4 hours in the sun, reapplied SPF 85 3 separate times and still look like someone threw red paint on me. Damn my euromut skin. All in all it was a good time though.
