So they are going to try to research something. Yea, well, let me tell you some of the things I'll research (once my multi billions of dollars of government funding roll in, like darpa). A device that will tell you whenever you are in danger. It will be very challenging, the ultimate convergence of electronics, sensors and psyonics. When it is achieved, however, you will just have to wear a little necklace and it will beep whenever you are in danger or someone is plotting against you. A chemical fertilizer/insecticide/fungicide/candy that when applied to crops kills all pest insects and increases growth 100000% with no harmful side effects. It is also a delicious candy for children. Also the test scores of children exposed to it will go up and they will be more polite.

Do you make fun of cancer research too? I find your comments to be in poor taste.

  There is no way to communicate, over the internet, how I feel about your response here. You obviously did not understand the point of my post at all. I have just typed a very long response, trying to explain my point, but I became disgusted, because if you didn't get it the first time, you sortof aren't ever going to. I wasn't making fun of what they were researching. I was making fun of the fact they were making these incredibly grandiose claims about what they intended to develop. Hey, anyone can make grandiose claims about what they want to develop, it isn't interesting or news.

    Ah, I misunderstood your point in that case, apologies. As to what you where intending to communicate, I definitely see where you are coming from on that one. It's easy to make claims, but execution of an idea is always the rub. This particular project does seem a bit more down-to-earth than a lot of the other projects that seem to be getting defense funding these days.
