the problem is funding and burocracy, its the exact same reasion why there were several million dollers to study somthing as stupid as that, the people who are in charge of where the money goes dont know what they are doing, they are shortsided and afraid of change

case in point, fusion, there is no doubt that given enough funding we could have functional fusion generatiors within 5 years, but congress is extremely reluctant to give them the funds they need, why? because most congeressmen got the money for their campains by oil tycoons or themselves are in the oil busness

so its not a matter of science, its a matter of money

There is heavily funded research going into improving it (with the tokamaks, they couldn't produce enough energy to make up for the ammount needed to start up the generator, but they are getting closer with each revision)

Post by: james239 on April 08, 2006, 04:28:26 AM: is there an official website about the research to find out why the prisoners want to break out? I wanna read what the conclusion they came up with was. I'm betting on the quality of the food, the lack of interesting scenery, and the cell-mate who wants to kiss you.

Post by: CK9 on April 09, 2006, 10:23:34 PM: lol, I doubt it, it was government funded research. Let me put it this way: the probability of dying is higher in prison than out of prison, which is common knowledge in the prisons, the different gangs in there are always making weapons and s***

They require time, and money. lots of money. yes, while fusion isn't very efficent now, it is getting better. Then we can assume the same will be true for BopTronics.

BTW, i drew up a design for a savant case. i lost it though, but i know it used plexiglass over a black material.

....OMG! HI BETA!!!!11!!
