                                  • Excellent questions - R.L. - 3/25/2007 6:24:16 PM
                        • Ah an example... - R.L. - 3/25/2007 12:30:33 AM

                            • By the way, the CHINESE are also doing the same tech now... (n/t) - R.L. - 3/25/2007 12:34:41 AM
          • Ultrasonic or microwave emitters might work. - Lee - 3/24/2007 7:08:57 PM
            • Sure. - SDF - 3/24/2007 7:22:04 PM

    • Kind of hard to get anything past a phalanx. - Lee - 3/24/2007 4:39:42 AM
      • Not really - ER - 3/24/2007 11:59:12 AM
        • ER's right. By the time the Sizzler is in Phalanx range, it's probably too late. - TB - 3/24/2007 4:44:26 PM

              • I guess to be consistent with the nascent terminology for a large network of small widgets, it would be called: 'Brilliant Flak' - Yeti - 3/25/2007 4:26:39 AM
                • Incidentally... - TB - 3/25/2007 5:01:33 PM
                • Actually, "Brilliant Flak" is pretty much what this board generates. ;) (n/t) - TB - 3/25/2007 4:55:16 PM
