Jubi and Erewhon:
Boy did I get told off by this alpha-male. He didn't say his PM was P&C so I share it with you here:
quote:
Exact cut-n-paste with no editing: "The swecret to your wannabe fantasy is thinking we haven't elected a president. Make sure you understand that no one, I mean no one is going to exert their right to rule over this country or any other unless they are willing to put boots on the ground and accept a little discomfort for their effort. Is the picture really you? Or is it a composite of what you want to be. We elect in this country and we are doing quite well thank you."
I am not sharing his name as I have at least a shred of dignity left... Roll Eyes

My answer is "Yes" I wannabe a "smart comedian" like John Cleese and a Q like the one he plays on TV. If you read my many posts I admit to not having a milbackground and being a rank civvy. Jubi doesn't believe me but it be true. I have been doing my Square John Q. Public bit for about 20 years now. I also told folks I was a mil/gub contractor not unlike erewhon. I read a frickin' newspaper once in a while and don't listen to Rush or Fox News. So what's yer' major malfunction? I'm a frickin' comedian OK? Humor is a cure-all to most of our maladies. Lighten up won't you? If I wanna make fun of yer' CIC it's my 1st Ammend. right or is that another "g.d. [iece of paper" too... Mad

Q-Ball out!

On the road:

Have a great new year's, da bofe of yas'

Ah, so far in the last couple o' days the biz has been a'poppin. Blue Origin and NASA are knock knock knockin' on the door. Also a company called dualcor, to which we have dispatched some red-hot software geeks. They have a show, and we, we are also the kings o' Phoenix BIOS ports. Nothin' like being 'eclectic', I guess. Engineering prostitutes are us.

00q, we have done a lot of contract work for the little stinky guy. The last biggie was a preprocessor for a holographic computer they were using as a "target recognizer". That's interesting, maybe I'll dig up some poop on it for all when I gets back.

Color me impressed. But I didn't deserve that "wannabe" crack! Confused

WDTFTG? I don't they find me... Razz

Legs? Invite some. Tell pullstring to visit us. She likee you! Fiedler is here too. Don't know gender... He/she is jus' waiting 4 us to put foot-n-mouth so they can DoS us agin' - <jes kiddin' Fiedler>

I'm still waiting on my pix of the XYL in the blue bikini... What's the delay? Big Grin Yeow sir!!!

EREWON: Blue Origin and NASA? Wow neato... Dualcor? Nice gadget. It makes Q salivate!!! Something James Bond could have used... Oh wait he did. "Engineering prostitutes are us" - you so funny!

Holographic computing... Lasers-R-Us huh? Me like lasers. I live near a college that claims it has (or soon will have) a "time machine" using a ring laser in its physics lab - true story! Holographic memory is alot like our brains.

Yes you is 'electic' Tom!

Off -topic but I have a cool hologram idea... Put an image of the front of an empty Econoline truck from the back window during the day and then put it in the back window of the same truck. Then whenever nosey people look in the back winder' they don't see what they ain't supposed to see and in 3D. I love technology. Hey if you guys ever get stumped for an idea send problem to me with true application disguised of course to protect the innocent (namely me). I'll give away a freebie. My Q-skills are "unique" (if I must say so myself). I like to show off Roll Eyes. We can go HUSHMAIL (above) if needed... No credit req'd... I like being the unsung hero. Hey Jubi remember that back in the '60s? The unsung hero?

ALL: OK here is the latest I need feedback on...
1) Did you see the latest movie Syrianna yet?
2) Are you gonna'?
3) What's up with "Bob" the George Clooney spook character?
4) Do they build them like that any more?
5) What's up with Hinckley?
6) Williamsburg VA huh? What a friggin' coinkydink...
7) Sirhan Sirhan (RFK) and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme (Ford) - both nuts like Hinckley - are chilling their heels in jail (I think for life? Well maybe Sirhan.) yet Hinckley walks totally free like he did someone a major "solid". Does anybody see something very very wrong here?

Ur, what school, and what project? Is there a web link to it? There is a big chunk of stuff that tap tap tap dances along the undiscussable here with me. But there is a really interesting bit of physics that might or might not be linked up with this.

There's this really nifty thing you can do to slow down the speed of light in a tightly confined area, you have probably heard of it. We tried to get a SINS built around the effect, the ring laser gyro has a "speed of light" term in the denominator of the accuracy equation, the slower you can make the speed of light in the gyro the smaller and more accurate it can be. We filed a patent on it, but alas, DARPA had funded someone that had filed six months ahead of us. Bastidges.

Anyways, while lots of folk have read about slowing down the speed of light in a volume using BEC's, there's a really freaky thing you can do where you can actually reverse time in a volume, as far as EM fields are concerned. Just wondering if it's related to the school thing, that should be interesting to watch.

Absolutley true... It is a very big college, big funding, and well known phyicists. Web links galore. I even went to check it out myself but didn't go the "extra mile" to see the prof. I guess I lost my nerve and got distracted by the college girls!

Yes I am pretty sure he is using the SAME techniques you describe. He says you can't go into future but you can send an electron back a second in time (or visa-versa I ferget') and claims he has done it.

The lab is quite secure to protect from snoopies like me Roll Eyes.

I am not sure of the origins of this kooky concept much like the concept of IC circuits, Fiber Optics, Aramid Fibers, and Lasers. Oh I know. They all came from France? Wink

Here is your links: Google Results The University Web Links
Oh and we will have mini-blackholes in Switzerland (and maybe Upton Long Island) within 2 years. (POPSCI Jan'06)

BTW - I don't believe in time travel. Well from a philoshopical POV that is. However, I can't explain the atomic-clock in the NASA jetplane trick yet.

Hey speaking of lasers... I did some simple home laser experiments. I made a laser communicator that works over a 1/4 mile using a dollar-store semiconductor laser. Then I wanted to make a mobius-loop with several cheapy mirrors. It kinda' works but is really touchy to align the mirrors. Used aerosol spray to resolve beam. Kinda' like a ring laser. The error-alignment beams make a really wonderous spectacle...


Can you spot the missing key component to make this thing work?

MIRROR-IN-A MIRROR
Have you ever did the mobius-effect with a mirror in a mirror looking into an endless loop (optical feedback)? You can do the same thing with a TV camera and monitor. Really cool and spooky. HomeProjects.

I'm an amatuer scientist... Trying to build a robot too when I find time. I'll never achieve this one.

This is what I want to make. But non-mil version...

Underwater version...

This is interesting too...

Erm, actually the trick, if it's the same one, is Russian. We use it for several very different applications. One is something I ain't discussing.

Another is a sort of high-powered laser aiming system you just wouldn't believe if I described it to you. Suffice it to say that the effect is so wonky that you can use it to correct a beam to where you should have aimed if you had wanted to hit it in the first place. Playing with back-forward in time with the beam is...odd. You have to be on some of that LSD from the other thread to really follow it.

You can also reconstruct transmitted info by scanning back along the timeline of the transmission to a point where it wasn't distorted yet.

I know it sounds like an Army story but you should note I didn't start it off with "This ain't no shiat".

Oh, and Corso is another man in the pay of his nation to the very end. Wink

Dam Russkies! Right Jubi? Smile
(More crap they beat us to in dat' dam cave in '45? Wild Bill should have been quicker!)

There is a company near me that is working on a hi-power laser-aiming radar-like system for civ-mil-apps. The US patent office shows it as being something "(In a Arty Johnson fake Teutonic accent) wery interesting... but not wery funny" - Laugh-In TV show 1960's.

The back-forward thingy was inspired by his dad dying of good ol' American tobaccky back in the 60's. But IMHO I think AT&T's Gen T. and his seeding-boyz (i.e. LTC Phil) brought it up and some commercialist "sucker-fish" bought it HL&S. BYW - how does one "prove" the electron is "really" in the future? Sounds kinda' like Einstien's wacky-electrons. You know the one that changes when you look at it and its twin brother on the other side of the universe??? Proof gentlemen... "where's the beef?" Wendy's commercial 1980's.

BTW - I don't believe in little u-no-wats... (well not today's popular visiting variety). I think the stinky-fellers get a good laff when anyone refers to them or the other wierd stuff... "Mr. Nick 0-point" and I are on same wavelength - so to speak... Where Nick's "they" got it from is more the question IMO... That's what lil' Jimmy Forestall pondered while in his MD hospital room writing poetry... But thanks to the Army? (et al) we'll not find out soon enuf' until its too... oh well... preaching to the choir...

I know it ain't no shiat. Im just saying when eating the really eye-openin' good MP fruit remember what was in the fruit's tree giving it to you. Look what yer' givin' up fer' a brief glimpse into the big-guy's world. Adam's girl learned the hard way didn't she? Enuf' B-Talk Q-Ball!!!

Wow, you're right. I just noticed the 333 thing. I have 333 posts everywhere I've ever posted here. It wasn't like that when I posted the last post above, it was 300 something but not 333.

So, now I have to start talking about 'reptosapiens' or something? Ew.

On the Russian thing, there's a really weird back story with that. You'll think I'm making it up if I tell you.

We steal a CHUNK of stuff off the Russians. Well, steal might be a bit strong. No, in some cases that's probably true. I'll say that the Russians are a LOT less picky about what they publish than we are. They just plow right into it and put the theoretical stuff out there. Sometimes they don't have a clue how to test the theory so they're sort of blue-skying, other times they can test it but can't implement it because they don't have the resources or engineers. So, a lot of times they put really sweet plums out for us to snatch. Other times, we go plum-picking, apparently. At least, I can say I've never really seen that particular work hit the net, so if it was published in the open it's a mystery to me.

The "sidebars" with the stuff I got gives me a date range and location the guy was at when he did the work. But it doesn't name a journal or issue date. And some of the 'data' is in the form of photographs of the setup, hmm, go figure. It's nicely translated and summarized though. Wink

The exceptionally odd thing is that this guy "just set this up and look what the results were". Tom calls Bravo Sierra. The rig is very wonky but fairly involved. I can't imagine he just went to work that day, brewed up some tea in the old samovar, and set this up just to play with. But yet, it doesn't make sense either. I mean, it's not random, and it's not totally space-case, but no one in their right mind would just set that up.

Worse still is the explanation of the targeting device. eee-yow! Any time they sink to bringing "virtual photons" into play as a theory, djew got some 'splaining to do, Lucy! That rig is even more odd, although it's similar to the Russian guy's. Oh, yeah, you guys just set that up too. Big chunks of oddball compound crystal with pump lasers is just what I always think of tossing together on the optical bench.
