@PossibleCabbage: You would if you were really all knowing. You would know what they were thinking looking at that empty socket!

@BergenCountyJC turns 24 today but still too young to rent a car: I have no reply to that.

@Dwindle: Yeah, I think he blew his wad on the lighting gear, couldn't afford a camera yet. Ya work with what ya got, you know?

@Surya Sharma: Stacking is the process of taking several shots from the exact same camera angle, in order to expand some "range" that is limited by the technology. What that means, for example, is that if you take one shot you will have areas that are perfectly, while others may be too bright or too dark. By taking…

So that's where all the unobtanium is going!

@FartSponge: basically the gel becomes the plate. As the penetrative force moves the particles alongside each other, the shear force will effectively turn the gel into the plate. Advantage is that you are no longer trying to move about with heavy, solid, plates restricting your mobility.

Actually, don't the Volkswagen and Subaru "on-demand" 4 wheel drive systems use something similar? If I recall, as the wheels begin to spin at different speeds, the fluid starts to shear, subsequently hardening to make the wheels turn at the same speed.

@parachoid: at least until we issue eye protection

@dragon:ONE: get it copyrighted, that way they have to contact you before they can do anything with it.

Is it just me, or does that first shot look like she just picked up the camera the morning after a night she can't really remember? Or is about to try really hard to forget.

@Tachyon0118: average walking speed is about 4 miles per hour. If the prototype goes 15, then even if they cut it back to 10, you still get there faster and less tired. Could be important.

@funakoshi.gichin.shotokan: darpa's got that covered with big dog.

The Japanese had a submarine that would open it's nose and allow a float plane to come sliding out. The would unfold the wings like a carrier and away it would fly. Pretty cool concept, they have at the Udvar-Hazy branch of the Smithsonian.

2 things... I really wanted to see some knives for the paper cut effect, and right about the 3 minute mark; nice nade!
