Look for info on the OICW (the combo rifle/gernade launcher) and the Land Warrior system.

Modern Marvels on the history channel at 10pm last night was about "super guns" in which they talked about the land warrior system (only saw half, so not sure about the oicw) and future non-lethal weapons for the police force. If you check Yahoo's TV listings, you might be able to find a rerun time.

I could maybe persuade my buddy Zorg to do a trade if you've got the stones.

Check out the extended DVD of "Aliens"
Automated target acqusition and firing. Not unrealistic.

LOL . . . Jean Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg.

"Voila: the ZF-1. It's light. Handle's adjustable for easy carrying; good for righties and lefties. Breaks down into 4 parts, undetectable by x-ray; ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Three thousand round clip with bursts of 3 to 300. With the Replay button (another Zorg invention) it's even easier. One shot, and Replay sends every following shot to the same location. And to finish the job, all the Zorg oldies but goldies. Rocket launcher. Arrow launcher, with explodin' and poisonous gas heads. Very practical. Our famous net launcher. The ALWAYS efficient flame-thrower. My favorite. And for the Grand Finale, the all new "Ice Cube System!" "

Yahoo? YAHOO?!?!? People still use Yahoo to search? :Q

Well, since it's considered a "portal" where people can do more than just search, it keeps a fair amount of people running around the site doing things that are convenient. If they need to search, it's right there for them without having to nav to another site entirely.

Then there are the hardcore search warriors who shun anyone who doesn't use Google...

i exclusively use yahoo. they actually use people to put stuff in its proper place. and if they don't have it, they shoot you straight to google. what could be better?
