Are you saying it's bullcrap?

Yahoo News is a very reliable source of information.

ok, I see your point.

I saw this in New Scientist about half a year ago.

The material of the 'cloak' makes the light diffract around the object inside, so you only see what is behind it.

It's the logical way of doing it. I had been thinking about making things invisible like this since I saw that invisible car from the Bond film that uses cameras.

That pic is obviously intended to at least make fun of it.

Yes, it was meant to be funny. The idea it, it's invisible, so you can't see it. Therefore I posted a picture of a random landscape thing.

You leave your PC on when you're out? And you spend time at your friend's house doing posting on internet forums instead of interacting with your friend which would be the purpose of your visit?

ROFL!

The_Crusade · October 21, 2006, 07:38:12 PM

You go to your friends house whilst he/she is asleep?

You leave your PC on overnight?

My parents would never let me do that.

flamingdragon · October 21, 2006, 07:47:53 PM

lol, my parents are out of town for a week, and they let me keep my pc on.
I leave my pc on all the time, I probably shut it down once a week for 5 minutes.

My computer is left on most of the time. I generally just hibernate if I need to turn it off.
