I think Walrus and Beans have a secret truce and they are trying to fake me out
I would rather stick a garden fork in my eye than spend any time with the bloke be honest, but I have no desire to upset your truce. Miles will not be happy once he finishes pouring out the Dom Perignon for his cat on the advice of the same vet that sold him shale gas pills to make his farts more environmentally friendly and save money on the gas bill though.

An object was filmed lighting up the sky like a massive torch last night in China
Residents were baffled as they wondered if aliens were visiting the country
An expert claimed the footage could be showing the trail of a rocket motor
A mysterious light was spotted in China last night, leaving residents baffled.
Witnesses shared pictures and videos of an identified object appearing to light up the night sky like a massive torch, seen above the regions of Beijing, Chongqing, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia at about 6:45pm local time.
A UFO expert claimed that the footage looked like the trail of a rocket motor.
It was already poo pooed by Nige in the article. All that and they he goes and gets bladdered around @Batman 's
Ok fine I have plenty of tech news
It might not the most elegant-looking thing on the road or in the sky, but an automobile-airplane hybrid that’s being called the world's first practical flying car is almost ready to spread its wings.
The two-passenger Transition will go on sale in the U.S. next year at an estimated price of $400,000, according to Terrafugia, the Woburn, Massachusetts-based firm that makes it.
The Transition has four wheels, folding wings and a rear-mounted “pusher” propeller. Powered by a four-cylinder hybrid-electric engine, it can fly 100 miles an hour at altitudes of up to 9,000 feet, with a flying range of 400 miles. There are controls for both flying and driving: for the roads, conventional brake and accelerator pedals and a steering wheel; for flying, the usual yoke and rudder pedals.
The vehicle converts from driving to flying mode in less than a minute, according to Terrafugia. But don’t expect it to get you out of a traffic jam. Though it’s the first vehicle certified to drive on U.S. roads and fly in U.S. skies, it can take off and land only at airfields — and you’ll need a pilot's license.

Miles says he has a lot of cash he can pick one up
There have been some weird sightings in China over the past 10 years I have seen some videos of some very strange craft
I don't know how to post on my phone but when I get to a PC I will do it. I started seeing them on the way back when I was in South Korea in 2008 some really shocking videos that did not look like they were fake or photoshopped
Breaking immigrants invading space
Blue Origin founder and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos predicts we'll have 1 trillion humans in the solar system one day — and he laid out Monday how the rocket company plans to help get there.
"I won't be alive to see the fulfillment of that long-term mission," Bezos said at the Wired 25th anniversary summit in San Francisco. "We are starting to bump up against the absolute true fact that Earth is finite."
Blue Origin's aim is to lower the cost of access to space, Bezos said. He will spend a "little more" than $1 billion next year to support Blue Origin

I think this could actually happen one day. Not in our lifetime but not too far away
Damn China is going to do this, it sounds cool but I don’t know if it’s a good thing
BEIJING: China is planning to launch its own "artificial moon" by 2020 to replace street lamps and lower electricity costs in urban areas, state media reported Friday (Oct 19).
Chengdu, a city in southwestern Sichuan province, is developing "illumination satellites" which will shine in tandem with the real moon, but are eight times brighter, according to China Daily.
The first man-made moon will launch from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan, with three more to follow in 2022 if the first test goes well, said Wu Chunfeng, head of Tian Fu New Area Science Society, the organisation responsible for the project.
Though the first launch will be experimental, the 2022 satellites "will be the real deal with great civic and commercial potential", he said in an interview with China Daily.
By reflecting light from the sun, the satellites could replace street lamps in urban areas, saving an estimated 1.2 billion yuan (US$170 million) a year in electricity costs for Chengdu, if the man-made moons illuminate an area of 50 square kilometers.
The extraterrestrial source of light could also help rescue efforts in disaster zones during blackouts, he added.

dudo the rest of the forum finds hysterical that you want to post a technology thread and you can't even get your snow blower going
I’m currently working on an app that would just kill both of you remotely, without my knowledge. The obituaries wouldn’t be released for years, either. I don’t know if it’d be because the results would negatively affect me personally, or just that the level of gratification would fry my reward circuits so badly I could never enjoy life again. Why don’t you both keep posting, so that one day I may find out.
Remote Kill Switch.... #PermaBan right there, B.
bwaaaaHAHAHA 😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂
the good thing was that you said that it would affect you negatively in a personal way so that we know that you love both of us it is a good feeling of Brotherly Love and I always did love @p4pking I used to do videos back in 2013 and constantly mentioned pound-for-pound King has one of the people that I loved
China is aggressively seeking to dominate the Internet of Things and plans to use access to billions of networked electronic devices for intelligence-gathering, sabotage, and business purposes, according to a forthcoming congressional report.
China for nearly a decade has been investing heavily in the emerging technology on the Internet of Things (IoT) and has made outpacing similar U.S. efforts one of the ruling Communist Party of China's highest strategic goals.
"China’s unique approach to the development of IoT and its enabling infrastructure poses significant challenges for U.S. economic and national security interests," says a report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission due out Thursday.
"The highest echelons of the Chinese regime view IoT development and deployment as critical matters of China’s economic competitiveness and national security."
A major concern outlined in the report is China's efforts to uncover vulnerabilities in IoT systems that can be used by Beijing for strategic objectives in both peacetime and war, the report said.
"Aside from industrial control systems, unauthorized access to health care devices could kill patients and exploitation of smart car vulnerabilities could kill drivers and pedestrians alike, among other examples of possible misuse of data and devices that could have dire consequences," the report warns.
"The future destructive potential of unauthorized access to IoT devices appears potentially limitless."
The IoT is an ill-defined term for a global information and communication infrastructure. It is made up of linked devices ranging from biomedical devices for monitoring patients to self-driving cars to critical infrastructure.

New immigration invasion
The AI humanoid, ‘Sophia’ (see above), has been making a worldwide tour on behalf of her creator, Hanson Robotics of Hong Kong, and made an unexpected stop to the Caucasus this week. The Caucasus stop meant granting the world’s first ever visa granted to a robot, a process that took just two minutes thanks to some smart technology.

WALKING CARS is a thing now ;D

Hyundai has shown off a small model of a car it says can activate robotic legs to walk at 3mph (5km/h) over rough terrain.
Also able to climb a 5ft (1.5m) wall and jump a 5ft gap, the Hyundai Elevate could be useful for emergency rescues following natural disasters, it said.
It was part of a project exploring "beyond the range of wheels", it added.
The concept has been in development for three years and was unveiled at the CES technology fair in Las Vegas.
"When a tsunami or earthquake hits, current rescue vehicles can only deliver first responders to the edge of the debris field. They have to go the rest of the way by foot," said Hyundai vice-president John Suh.
"Elevate can drive to the scene and climb right over flood debris or crumbled concrete."
Mr Suh also suggested that wheelchair users could be collected via the vehicles, which could "walk" up to the front door of a building with step-only access.
Prof David Bailey, from Aston Business School, said: "Often car companies bring out lots of concepts which may or may not make it into production but it's great to think in new ways about mobility.
"For most of us, it's going to be wheels and roads but in extreme situations there may be scope for this sort of thing.
"There may well be applications in terms of emergency services - but there are very big technological challenges to make this sort of thing."

Red light cameras. They should be outlawed. Drop the Bear-claw, get off your arse and work that shoulder and look a fella in the eye if you want to confiscate $250 bucks for not slamming on the brakes :-X.
Id shrug it off, mind you Im not Chinese though.
I know it is the spiritual birthplace of acupuncture but that seems a bit extreme.
Oh yeah fair point, @walrus bringing it to our attention that the guy was Chinese is much more pertinent now.
who's bright idea was it to set up intel in isreal? chip makers building electronic trapdoors in key military hardware
https://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconduc...he-kill-switch
From the article:
"The dwindling of domestic chip and electronics manufacturing in the United States, combined with the phenomenal growth of suppliers in countries like China, has only deepened the U.S. military’s concern."
Seems to me "Made in the USA" should become more than a patriotic slogan and more of an urgent goal to head off all sorts of potential national security issues in the future.
