1/9     "Well that's great, that's just fuckin' great man. Now what the fuck
        are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty shit now man...
        That's it man, game over man, game over! What the fuck are we gonna do
        now? What are we gonna do?"

        \_ Five meters!  Four!
        \_ Take off and nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be
           sure.  -tom
           \_ Fuckin Ay!
              \_ ITYM either "fuckin a" or, on a long shot, "fuckin aye".
                 \_ Aye-firmative!
                 \_ I never understood that one. What the hell does it mean?
                    \_ I Think You Mean -> ITYM
                 \_ Don't think so much.
                 \_ Maybe he's doing a Fonzie imitation.
           \_ ... I knew "ITYM", I was asking about "fuckin' a" --didn't delete
              \_ The one I've found so far that I like is a variation from the
                 phrase "A-OK".  "Fuckin' A-OK" -> "Fuckin' A'"
              \_ Short for "fuckin asshole" maybe?  Since those two are strung
                 together pretty commonly, that'd be my guess...but I'm hardly
                 an expletive expert.
        \_ Just hold your breath and the detector won't detect you.
           \_ Well, and also stay *completely* still until they stop scanning
              the room you're in...assuming you know when they *are* scanning.

com Mon Jan 9, 11:00 AM ET A new handheld radar scope from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) can provide troops with an ability that was formerly the province of science fictional superheroes alone--the ability to sense through up to 12 inches of concrete whether someone is in the next room. Iraq by spring of this year, according to DARPA's Edward Baranoski. Weighing just 15 pounds, the device is about the size of a telephone handset and will cost about $1,000. Held up to a wall, users will be able to sense movements as small as breathing up to fifty feet into the next room. "It may not change how four-man stacks go into a room (during clearing operations)," Baranoski said. "But as they go into a building, it can help them prioritize what rooms they go into. It will give them an extra degree of knowledge so they know if someone is inside." life detector like the one that Frank Herbert wrote about in 1958 in his story Cease Fire: The antennae of the Life Detector atop the OP swept back and forth in a rythmic halfcircle like so many frozen sticks brittle with rime ice... One operator - drugged to shivering wakefulness - stood watch in the OP. The space around him was barely six feet in diameter, crammed with equipment, gridded screens glowing a pale green with spots that indicated living flesh. Frank Herbert's life detector) Still, the handheld Radar Scope is a remarkable invention, and should make the task of searching buildings at least a bit less dangerous. com for more daily news, views and scientific inquiry with an original, provocative point of view.
