things you would have thought would have been invented by now

I think all of your ideas are at least 100 years away.

I'm surprised they haven't come out with a meat slicer that will cut meat deli style, only cheaper. Damn you Ronco!

 

I STILL have yet to find a decent penile enlargement system...

 

A car that doesn't run on gas and pollute the atmosphere.

A telephone that allows you to see the party you are talking to.

A time machine.

The ability to transport man to other planets, or universes/the ablity to travel at the speed of light.

A cure for cancer.

 

There are really only 2 reasons we can't do something. its too expensive, or a HUGE company somewhere is not letting it happen because it would hurt there business.

I think everything besides time travel and living forever is possable.

 

Its possible, they have cars that run on the oil you buy for french fries. Willie Nelson drives one

Defiantly possible

Nope.

I'll pass.

I think possible. to expensive

More money in treating cancer then curing it

 

Ever since I was a kid, I've been waiting for the flying cars like the ones in Back to the Future. I love those movies. The hover board would be nice, too. Then, those form fitting clothes and shoes aren't bad either. I want flying cars.

 

Neil Young has a biodiesel SUV that gives off 80% less emissions than a small car.

 

Yes, it amazes me that we keep burning a resource like oil like crazy, even though we know the world will run out of it in the not-too-distant future. Seems so clear to me that only solar energy can be the future, and I thought 15 years ago that we would be much further now.

Maybe I sound like some lunatic environmentalist, but to me, it is common sense that we cannot keep burning something that we will inevitably run out of, and that is also needed for medicine, etc.

 

Don't get me started on what I wished would have been invented by now:

1. A device that shocks BBS posters every time they spell "there" instead of "their", "there" instead of "they're", and "then" instead of "than".

2. A device that shocks BBS posters every time they say "but this is a BBS, not a grammar class" as an excuse for poor spelling or grammar.

 

But this is a BBS, not a grammar cl... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

 

True, but why do I have the ability to watch online TV, videos, Live Major League baseball games, and many other forms of multi-media, all possible through my phone line (DSL) yet not have the ability to see family from the other side of the country when I am using the same line for my phone?

 

Whoa partner. Are you crazy or have they rewritten the laws of physics.

 

When I was little, I read some old book saying that by 2000, football players would have air conditioners in their uniforms, and I believed it up until about 1998.

 

In Russia they control the weather:


RUSSIANS Far ahead of the WORLD in Weather Control

Its know to us for a long time but i am now sure how much the international community knows about it

During the Present VE day celebration in Moscow 9th May 2005 , it was a rainy day and the rain never seemed to stop ,.....even BBC showed president Putin receiving President Bush with an umbrella...all of us were depressed that the rain will hamper all our celebrations...but just 5 minutes before the parade started 12 Antonov An-12 and Ilyushin IL-18 aircraft took position in the sky over Moscow, divided in 10 zones, and all of us were surprised that the rain stopped in 5 mins


Always take the weather with you
Newyork times writes :
"Last weekend, Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian Air Force to keep it from raining over Moscow in advance of Monday's military parade. The Air Force used a procedure called "cloud seeding", and Russia's defense minister later took credit for Monday's sunshine. Can the Russians really control the weather? "

the Deccan herald writes
""Flying at the altitude of 3,000 - 8,000 metre, the planes sprinkled various chemicals including silver iodide, liquid nitrogen, dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) and even ordinary cement to seed the clouds at a distance of 50-150 km away. By 10 am, sharp at the start of the military parade, rain had stopped in Red Square and the sky was clear for the impressive flypast by Sukhoi and MiG fighters.


“The efforts would be to keep the sky clear till late in the night as hundreds of thousand people and guests are expected to take to streets to watch the spectacular fireworks in various parts of the capital,” Air Force spokesman Colonel Drobyshevsky said. "




We have seen such miraculous events when ever there is a big international Function in Russia...for instance 2 years back during the 300th anneversery of St Petersburg we saw heavy rain falling at a distace 1 Km away from the city centre while the main city centre is cloudless and sunny ..ready for the celebrations ....




Proponents of "cloud seeding" say it's possible to induce rain and snow (after which clouds can break up and disappear), suppress hail, and clear up patches of fog. Twenty or 30 countries run cloud-seeding operations of some sort; China has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on weather manipulation over the last decade but havent yet achived anything uptil now .

. The bureau in charge of cloud seeding in Thailand reportedly has 600 staff-members and a $25 million budget.Yet no successful achievements have appeared yet

No federal funds go toward cloud seeding in America, but a handful of states finance projects locally. Utah just kicked in for $400,000 worth of weather control projects.
The U.S. federal government was at one time very optimistic about weather manipulation; by the late 1970s, annual funding for cloud-seeding projects hit $20 million. But after years without definitive results, interest in Washington has evaporated (except, perhaps, among the people who introduced this bill in the Senate in early March). Some studies have suggested that cloud seeding actually reduces rainfall, or merely redistributes it. A 2003 report from the National Research Council concluded that while cloud seeding may hold promise, we still don't know very much about it.

all these reports prove that Russians are much much ahead as far as controlling the weather is concerned

Here's how it works: Rain starts as tiny droplets of water suspended in clouds. Then the droplets clump together into bigger drops (or freeze together into bigger crystals). Once the drops or crystals are big and heavy enough, they fall out of the sky. The frozen drops can melt on the way down, becoming rain, or they can fall to the ground as snow. Cloud seeding aims to jump-start this process by helping droplets to clump or freeze together when they otherwise wouldn't.

Cloud seeders use a number of procedures. In the mid-1940s, three scientists at General Electric (including the novelist Kurt Vonnegut's brother Bernie) showed that by injecting dry ice into a cloud, you could freeze tiny droplets of water, which would in turn make it easier for other droplets to glom on and freeze as well. Later experiments showed that silver iodide—which has a crystal structure similar to that of ice—could also help, by forming "ice nuclei" upon which droplets might freeze.

To induce rain with dry ice, you would fly a plane over a small cloud and sprinkle down a few cups' worth of dry ice pellets. To seed with silver iodide, you'd vaporize a solution at high temperatures and disperse it in the cloud. This can be done using silver iodide flares, which are dropped 8 or 10 at a time from above the cloud, or with silver-iodide-filled rockets or anti-aircraft shells. If you're seeding clouds over a mountain, you can use generators on the ground which release silver iodide vapor into the air currents that rise up one side of the mountain and into the clouds.

Silver iodide and dry ice are examples of "glaciogenic" agents, and they only help to produce rain in clouds of sufficiently low temperatures. For warmer clouds—in which droplets don't freeze before falling—cloud seeders can use sprays of saline solution to attract droplets and, theoretically, to induce rain.







Apart form stopping rain there are others instances which prove that the Russians inherited a well organised system to control weather

1 in the Winter place of St Petersburg the Czars had a system that could make the Folwers boolm at gardens at -45 digree centricrade....such a technology is not a very big thing today ..but the Russians had it during the 15th century.....even in the 18th century such a technology was beyond the reach of any country in the world...the garden is today open to public in St Petersburg..and its good to see flowers bloom at -35 during the winters

2 Russia has been attacked by foreign invaders two times in History ...once by Napoleon and then in 1941 by the Nazi Germany ...it is surprising to note in in BOTH THE PERTICULAR YEARS RUSSIA RECORDED THE COLDEST WINTER in the whole Russian History...and all know how much crucial role weather played in those wars that helped Russia to screw her enemies
You may call it a circumstance but watching various miraculous evets in Russia from my childhood about Weather control ..I am sure that the Russians have a well organised system of controling weather that will help her a lot in case some foreign power ever dares to invade it

Hey whatever happened to your Spanish translations? I was learning your language of yours at an amazing pace.

 

Flying cars are about 10 - 15 years away.

Moller.com, baby.

 

they have video phones already, did you not know?
