I see biggest Boom coming. Esq can I help it if I like to get the news straight, and it happens to be BBC online and Fox on tv? * Heard mumbleing "he'll never let me here the end of it"*

You know you love it Final .

meanwhile, on Grand Mufti Tawakalna's favourite news channel, Al-Jazeera, there's this

that's disturbing. It can store everything you ever say... oh the implications

..how I dearly wish I was not here..

Taw, that one would catch you with your hand in the cookie jar

Ugh, I hate it. Why the hell would I need something like that? *Shakes head* All it needs is an RFID chip, and we''ll have as good ole' Orwellian time .

Oy Taw! That deseverves its own thread. Stop hijacking mine!

On topic - Esq, do you think any good or use can come from that thing, or would it just be a "Toy" for eggheads to play with.

Well Final, I suppose that theoretically it could come in handy for older types who do not have the best memories, or for people with certain learning disabilities, but I think that such products are open for exploitation and incorrect use. The cameras in mobile phones are already bad enough .

*Taps Esq on the shoulder* I was asking about the On topic, not Taw's privacy invader. *shakes head*

Oh right, sorry . Ahem, I would imagine Final, that setting up a fully-functional prototype, and maintaining it without incident (ie. your "Boom!" ) for an extended period, would go a long way towards confirming the reactor's ability to be a long-term environmentally friendly solution. This would, fof course, also depend upon the reactor's running costs, and the skill level required by the reactor workers, etc.
It will start off as a "toy", but if it can produce bloody huge amounts of energy for a bloody small amount, then it will be bloody good ( ) and everyone will be after the technology (assuming that they can afford it).

It would be kinda funny if it blew up and send the Eifle tower into space and crashed on the moon....

Life: No one gets out alive.

@Taw,

Man one of those would be good for a computer...think about all that memory, put hundreds and hundreds of p..music and games, and proly not even take up 5% of the whole memory

oh yes, if i got one of those, i would take out the storage and find a way to make it into my very own hard drive

store photos? *twitch*

Anyone else see that data storage device and start thinking "Battle Royale"?
If the authorities really wanted to go Orwellian they could have everyone wearing one of these and if you step out of line, BOOM!! A small explosive takes out your trachea and a couple of carotids.
