On the set of Walker Texas Ranger Chuck Norris brought a dying lamb back to life by nuzzling it with his beard. As the onlookers gathered, the lamb sprang to life. Chuck Norris then roundhouse kicked it, killing it instantly. The lesson? The good Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

Fix the link SpursXs3, or ye shall pay.  And we've been cloaking for years.


And this economy is affecting many.

His link works fine, there's a glitch in a popular site metrics software that's going around the web and maybe CNN hasn't fixed it yet, you should be able to view the site in NOT internet explorer

I got to the story by the link, however cnn did remove the picture of the person wearing a fabric coat and you cold see the scenery behind them.  you could still tell he was wearing something but the fact that he was ghosting the stuff behnid him was impressive...

Neat.  I thought it was the "other" type of cloaking technology, the one where you bend light.  With enough power you can bend light around an object making it invisible.

They developed "invisible window screens" about 10 years ago.  It is a bug screen, that lets air through, but visually you cannot see the screen, until you are just inches away.  It is really quite amazing.

Well not to be confused with cloaks that are worn by little red riding hoods (reality) I figured it was not too bad to throw "invisible" in there..lol

I like the 12 dollar computer out of MIT last week, more practical and useful
