why are these computers on the internet and not on an intranet?
i just dont understand why, if they wanted to keep this secret, they would make it all easily available. excuse my inner conspiracy theorist here, but it would be so simple for this to not happen that it is completely possible they want this information trickled out in this fashion. even if it is to just make more people feel helplessly under control.
Well, the 'officials' think the public is too stupid, or doesn't care. They think 'nerds' just play computer games and watch porn, and hack for fun.... Which is not too far from the truth... Bit I like to believe that there are people out there who are capable of nearly anything once through a firewall or whatever.
If I could talk to all hackers at once, I'd say 'Hack the governments computers to pieces, and re-take control.'
There's a lot of documents on computers which need to be viewed... always is. But, most of them are available these days, through national archives and whatnot... It's jut the time and effort to physically go through 100'ds of boxes to find that one paragraph which changes a whole situation.

Thoughts on the MegaFuture:
It will be shiny.
It will smell like plastic.
It will be in credits and abstract units.
Borg vision and tom cruise graphics.
At this point google owns it all.

old tech, mams. developed by and for military apps.
i don't feel like searching right now, but the next big thing
in aerospace will be mind controlled jets/helo's.
Dude, I know it's old, I follow this stuff closely as well. Some dudes even have mind-controlled hardware on Second Life.
The point is, it's gonna be on toys now. All scary technology eventually trickles down to the consumer.
sorry. i didn't mean it to come out the way you took it. wasn't be a smart ass.
you've gotta figure that for it being produced as a toy, the military industry has
probably perfected it or is very close.
logic says that they are at least 50 years ahead of public (i'm going off of things like
the blackbird, etc)

Yeah, it's nuts. Imagine our kids, they will grow up with mind-controlled toys being the norm.
Aside from military technology, it has also been used in the medical industry for those who have been paralyzed, in order for them to communicate through computers. The was some hour-long special on The Science Channel last year that talked a lot about that. There was another kid who I think fell off a roof or got into a car wreck cause he was drunk, and is now brain-damaged, and this scientist developed a synthesizer that the kid can use with his mind. I wouldn't be surprised if in ten to fifteen years we will be able to experience true VR, jacking an implant into cyberspace.
"Our operational world is an apathetic one, indifferent to itself, dispassionate and deadly boring. And it is useless to be dispassionate in a passionless world. Being carefree in a disinvested world has no meaning. That is how we became orphans."

I built a model of it when I was a kid. It still looks advanced, even today. It makes me think of an even cooler plane from a movie that is probably long forgotten by most...
